65 DAYS IN BAJA | The Search For One Of The Rarest Fish On Earth | FULL FILM
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2024
- In our third ever feature documentary film, we travel to the heart of Mexico's Baja Peninsula in search of one of the rarest trout on earth. Mexico isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think of fly fishing for trout, but tucked away deep in the mountains is a rarely seen secret, wild native rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss nelsoni AKA Nelson's Trout). With the help of our new Toyota Tundra and Four Wheel Camper combo, we traverse northern and southern Baja from the mountains to the see in search of this illusive fish. We delve deep into the science, ecology, and history of the region, and discover that Baja has far more the offer than scorching deserts and quiet surfing beaches.
Parental Advisory: This film contains a handful of explicit words. Viewers with young children please be advised!

I’d like to extend an invitation to you guys , I live in New Brunswick Canada and guide for Atlantic salmon during the summer months I’d love to take some time to show yah around our great province and show some of what it has to offer !! Great movie
Hard to understand why you don't have a million subscribers. Technical precision, creativity, and art mean nothing to most people, especially most Americans. Just know that your work is top shelf. There are a few out here who see every camera angle, every vintage clip, and hear every word, and know that none of it is an accident. Every deep cut and crop. Respect.
Not so difficult really.Where i fish,i regularly see a ratio of 1000+master powerbaiters to every 1 fly fisherman.Of that ratio,near none are even aware of Angling literature,near none are aware the spincast "revolution" started around post WW2,are unaware that they're own great great grandparents near genocided Our Native Brook Trout,are unaware that Atlantic Salmon once ranged as far south as New York,near none possess a library card,& lastly,dont know who Thomas Morton even was.The million are absent Because they're 1)Illiterate, 2)actively out there right now stringing the trees around every pond lake& river with monofilament Xmas wrap&metal lures& powerbait,none of which spawn in any indigenous North American waters that i know of.Thankfully Chase &Amy are more indicative of humans who can read&pronounce evolution i sincerely hope that their work will bring an awareness that if people dont smarten up,these videos will be their epitaph..one hell of a good one albeit.But lets hope not...tight lines my Friend!
Exactly!
aw thanks! Means a lot. We just aren't very good at the whole TH-cam/social media thing. we don't post enough. we don't self promote enough etc. It makes us feel gross, but its what the algorithm gods want. Its been a slow burn for sure, but were growing. Share it around! It'll help!
@@deathwraithdeathwraith6106 We're trying to make a difference! Even if its just one person at a time, we like to think it has a ripple affect.
@@TightLoopsyou guys are so great at this. Appreciate all you do. We need a voice like yours to bring awareness. Much love. ❤️ 🎉
"Maybe we were just getting older, but we found ourselves throwing around words like 'comfort' and 'reliability.'" I know this feeling.
It's unfathomable how much footage, planning, time, and effort it went into making this. Great work you two, this film is downright incredible.
You're story telling is unmatched. Sets the bar HIGH. Well done!
Thanks, Adam!!! Hope life post vanagon is treating you well. When we sold Bullwinkle he was still running on your old motor! To the best of our knowledge still is. He’s out in Wisconsin now!
I don't even know where to begin. Your dedication to the game is unmatched. Next level stuff. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all 🙏
Audio in this was *chef's kiss* ! I know banging up your dream rig can be a true gut shot (excellent job expressing the emotion, we've all been to the chucking a rock level of rage.), but at the end of the day, it's just a thing! We buy things to help us achieve the experiences we dream of, whether it's a vehicle, home, or maybe just a new toy, it's all about the experience and memories at the end of the day! You're right, someday it'll be a great tale for around the campfire! Look forward to those days, and enjoy this one. Keep up the awesome work!
This has been far better than watching any movie, it actually rejuvenates you and wants to make you go back into the wild. Great job guys!!
This is just outstanding! It's impossible to fathom the time, effort, expense and planning that must have gone into the project itself, never mind the gigabytes of footage, the analog film, archival stuff and stills that you must have had to trawl through to produce a film of this length and quality. I particularly appreciated the candid way in which you portrayed the many stumbling blocks that ultimately led you to your goal. Amazing. Thank you!
Arguably the absolute best fishing content on earth. Absolutely incredible stuff.
Amazing Documentary/fishing/journey ever thanks .
Thank you Chase and Aimee for invoking literally every possible feels imaginable with your truly stunning account of chasing after the rare Baja Rainbow Trout! Couldn’t have asked for a better way to end my weekend. Between watching Mak and Owen’s Todo Bien and finishing up with this amazing video, I am in visual and auditory heaven! Can’t wait to catch more of your adventures. I sure have missed you guys out here in the TH-cams 🫶🏼🙏🏼💕🙌🏼🤙🏼 Welcome back!
This is easily on the top 3 adventure films I've ever watched! 💛
Well done. In my youth, 40+ years ago, I fished those trout. The people, the places and the experiences live with me today. Congratulations!
me too - unfortunately the 1994 flood was there to welcome us - God bless the Melings for taking in two popsicles in an overheating pickup - still the best breakfast of my life 🙂
History, nature, angling, rig building and overlanding. This offering has it all! Your best yet and very very much worth the wait. Keep up the great work. Levi Forever!
this is truly incredible
Beautiful film! I love the honesty with which you approach and present these journeys. I am beyond sad that Levi moved on in his journey. Unfortunately, I know that pain all too well. Black cats 🐈⬛ RULE! Thank You both for letting us join your quest…
OUTSTANDING, thank you for sharing this adventure!
You guys! Way to knock it out of the park like usual! We are always so impressed with your beautiful work, and this was no exception! Loved getting to glimpse a part of Baja rarely seen. ❤
WOW!!!. What an amazing adventure. Thanks for taking us along. Just incredible.
What a wonderfully unexpected way to spend time on a Sunday evening in early December. Certainly a bunch of time and effort getting the film just right. It landed perfectly on my still waters.
AMAZING! Can’t say enough good things about this film!
What an amazing visual journal. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
This is one of the best things I’ve seen on TH-cam. Awesome.
Wow! Just … WOW!! Thank you!
show de bola. Great film.
I’m speechless! This is simply incredible storytelling and cinematography. Exquisite work.
Epic adventure - thanks for sharing it with us!
Excellent, muchas gracias!.
Great film. Thank you for sharing your adventure to us.
Without a doubt this is the best film in the overland space right now. Amazing work you two!
As much as my instant-gratification loving brain appreciated not having to wait for each episode to come out, you guys could have definitely released this in a series and I would have eagerly watched it all the same
What an absolutely stunning film and unforgettable adventure you’ve shared with us! Thank you for bringing this to life.
What an epic documentation of the years' past. So stoked to see what you all do next!
Excellent presentation! Thank you!
All of your videos are so amazing and speak volumes to me. Your Montana Van life video inspired me to travel out there years ago and explore the Yellowstone area. It was the best trip of my life
This was just an Unbelievable....video....show..... movie!!! This was sooo amazing!!!!! Thank you so much ❤
welcome back! ! love your films, you two have been missed !
Best thing going on YT. Love seeing you guys back. Can’t wait for the collab premiere next week
One of the best videos I have watched. Simply awesome.
Outstanding! All the work from the soundscapes, the research, visually stunning shots, including the subtle muted sound in the background of underwater shots it’s all incredible. Well worth the wait on our end and the sacrifice you both make to film every moment to share with us is remarkable and beyond generous. Thank you! This is one fish however I will not attempt to catch and follow in your footsteps. Maybe the next one.
Great video, reminds me how a couple buddies and I hiked up into eastern Sierra and found the golden trout in the early 70's.. I am still a baja traveler at 74. My favorite town, Loreto.
Chase and Aimee, thank you so much for sharing your lives with us. Truly a fantastic film that deserves to be seen by everyone! Wishing you all the best and can’t wait for the next one, whenever that is.
Awe inspiring truly. Thank you.
I'm really happy I caught this! What an incredible film! 👏 I'm subbed for life here ❤️ Thanks to MAC and Owen for sending me here tonight 😊
this is a truly masterpiece, adventure of a dream for the most of the world 's trout anglers. thanks a lot and warm greetings from the Ukraine!
Love these films, really appreciate them
Absolutely beautiful storytelling and cinematography! Inspiring to say the least!
An epic adventure, beautifully told with stunning imagery. Magnificent trout.
Have been anticipating this colab for so long!! Awesome work y’all!!
Best film yet!
Fantastic film!! So inspiring to see what you have done through your determination and endless talents..
Absolutely incredible 👏👏👏
Amazing adventure and video! Thank you!
What an amazing experience, and even better film. You guys did such an killer job with this project! Baja is always calling our name, but now more than ever.
This is hands down the most incredible film on TH-cam. Such incredible work!
You guys did an awesome job on this film! The story telling, cinematography, photography…all of it. Thank you for bringing us along👊✌️❤️
Another winner.
As a surfer, spearfisherman and flyfisher Ive often thought of mixng all three activities on a trip. Cuatro Casas (Punta San Telmo) sits on the coast below below Rancho Meling. Often thought about turning left at the Ejido and venturing up into the SSPM. I've been to Mike's Sky Ranch and never saw fish. Too easy. You guys made real the commiment necessary to access las truchas.
Another masterpiece. Thank you for this one
Wow!! This was so enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you
This is gonna be great
You two are living a true adventure, and you capture and tell the story so well on film. In a way these trout are a lot like the both of you, adventures. This film was amazing. Can’t wait to see what Tight Loops and Wild Fly have in store for us!
Extraordinary work
Thank you, that was brilliant!!
Incredible
Just incredible content, as always. Thank you for another inspiring video.
thank you for sharing your story. this was such a treat to watch.
love the rig!!!!
That was a great film and thanks for all the adventure you both share!
Another masterpiece, look forward to you two learning the limits of your new weapon, and the future backwater adventures it'll take you to.
Production quality and story was amazing. Wow!
Loved the film. Quite a quest you two.
One of the best you guys have ever made! THANKS
Pjaek!!!! Haven’t heard from you guys in years! Thank you, and hope you’re well!
I remember in the 60s the road south of Ensenada was just dirt! Baja has definitely gone through some changes! The Baja spring is so beautiful, a good off road exploration vehicle is a trail bike! I’m 73 and started going to Baja when I was 15. I’m in love with Baja!
Superb filmmaking. Safe travels, God bless...
I've watched this film twice now. I came here for slow mo shots of rising trout in an exotic locale. I got that. But I got so much more than that and my life is better for it. Keep telling stories like this.
A very beautiful and informative fly fishing film
Love you tight loops ❤
Some of the BEST content on YT. Not just fishing content, but all content. This is remarkable, beautiful, inspiring, wonderful. You guys are on to something. Keep it up.
Your thoughtful production and attention to detail is astonishing in a can't-stop-watching kind of way. (And my big takeaway is: "B-roll is pretty much everything.") Thanks for keeping us enthralled.
For all the many things to love about this film, I have to say I really admire your sound work. The way you added in sound effects, whether recorded by you or from other sources, especially during sequences like the pelicans diving while filmed with telephoto lenses really added so much to the film. Really good shit guys. BBC Baja baby!
Love to see you guys back at it, rad
I truly love your videos and adventures, great job on this one and thank you for sharing. The damage on the expensive new rig, character marks and great memories. Don’t get upset, be happy you’ve got scars & dents to prove you’ve been there & done that! I drove a nice Chevy Suburban with deep barb wire scratches up & down the driver rear quarter from a great snowy river camping/fishing adventure with my three kids, I was frustrated when it happened but soon changed my mind when every time I saw those scratches reminded me of that great trip! Keep up the great work and don’t sweat the wear & tear…
This is awesome! Y'all did such a great job with this one. You should be proud of it.
just thank you guys for letting me live a dream with you.. speechless.
angler and life lover from Italy.
#morelife
Great, thoughtful, work. Will be here for the next one!
Fine story telling and magnificent videography, most enjoyable
Thank you for all the amazing work you put into this film. Your hard work and artistic eye shines thru within every shot of film. Huge fan if your storytelling and adventures
Such an epic film. You guys crushed it as usual. Absolutely next level production.
Wow! Wow as expected ❤
Thank you for a great film! So beautiful footage edited in a great way with lovely colors and storytelling!
Thank you!
Another amazing film 🙌 I don't think most people truly understand how much time and effort it takes to make a film like this. The story is told perfectly and the cinematography is unreal. Some of the wildlife shots look like they should be in a NatGeo or "Our Planet" documentary.
Thanks Luke!!! This one was a real labor of love to be sure. I'm glad somebody noticed lol
Another great Film, you guys are very talented. Can't wait to see the next adventure.
So good as always, great story, well done!!
Wow it is so wonderful to see you guys back on screen!
Thank you
Another masterpiece, best of luck with your new adventures!
The beautiful art of the Nelsons Trout, besides the ones you release.
Amazing work guys!
YES! finally a new film
I have always been curious about the Sierra San Pedro Martir. It looks stunning! Need to plan an adventure
So, you guys leave Montana, to go to Baja, to go trout fishing.... sounds reasonable.... I was absolutely mesmerized by the pictures and the story. Thanks!
