I am aware of the typo.
I no I am late to the video, but on the topic of this video what is so bad about the Googin squad?
Now you're talking! Now, go ahead and rip on the cigar smoking, scotch drinkers. Im not on Instagram.
2:25 they also probably didn’t have to make their own nail knot tool out of a fork. (I know Im cheap)
@@lizardfishingfishermen8596 because they are regarded as expert anglers when they have an average at best skill set. People immediately compare fame to skill. This has swayed a lot of new/ younger anglers from fishing for the love of the sport to fishing for likes

This was a much needed message, Thanks. In your honor I will begin my new year by mooning several unfortunate trains.
I haven’t even watched the video yet but seeing this as the top comment has made my day
I approve!
Lol, while I haven't landed a fish this year, I do have three trains mooned!
That pic of Tom never fails to crack me up 😂
The photo of the "Trust Fund' baby lol that explains his big fancy new studio!
And calling out those Montana Wild guys... daaang good for you! They say they've learned from that, but how do ya know...
I approve this video, two thumbs up.
I put a Simms sticker on my truck and only got caught in like 4 trees the least time I went out. You know nothing.
“The best fisherman is the one having the most fun out there” . Couldn’t agree more! Ima quote you on that. I always have a blast being a mediocre fly fisherman!
This is a much needed message right now. Thanks for all you do, stay huge 🎣
I thought I might not enjoy an indoor video but I did enjoy the rant. Thanks for the video Ben and have a happy new year!
I can tie a nail knot but I'm beginning to think I'm not coordinated enough to do a double haul
Practice, practice, practice! I vividly remember trying to figure it out (the haul) in a county park in NJ about fifty years ago. Then all of a sudden I got the timing of the pulls correctly and it was just so easy.
Hey Ben, I think the message you and your channel promote are fantastic! Putting info out there about the sport’s techniques, etiquette, values, and highlighting some of the flaws makes it more appealing and strengthens the future of fly fishing. The humor and humility you share in these videos keeps me going as someone who is new to fly fishing. Also, my sons love watching the videos of you fishing with the family and it inspires them (even at a young age) to get out in nature and have fun with it. Haters are gonna hate, but keep the awesome material flowing! Stay huge my man!
Just learned how to double haul yesterday from my grandpa. Complete game changer. I’ve only been fly fishing for 8 months😂😂
Thanks for the video! I'm an old guy that loves to catch an 8" trout as much as a 24" trout and still learn new ways from watching others and I started fly fishing when I was about 10 and am 66 now...you do the math I'm going fishing... Keep your videos coming, they are great. I live in NM so please tell everyone that the fishing sucks down here ... .
Love this 🤙🏼 some of my biggest trout don’t even make IG because you should be admiring them for the short time instead of messing around with photos. Can’t wait to check out all your vids!
You mentioning the soque in N. Ga got me. I live in GA and my social media feed is nothing but people posting their "trophy fish".
I caught that too. I'm a transplant from the West. The new friends that I made here in Georgia constantly push me to fish the Soque for "trophy" fish. I don't have the heart to tell them that pay-per-fish places may be fun at times, but they are nothing to brag about.
HUGE video. Straightforward. Honest. Entertaining. Stay HUGE!
Solid. One of the influencers/bloggers in my neck of the woods completely stopped fishing when VDGIF stopped posting the stocking schedule. And I promptly unfollowed them. 😂😂 there’s a lot of bad fishermen out there on the gram.. nailed this 100%
Great video this week. Thanks again.
Fuck yes, Ben. Great way to start off the year, amigo. Hoping you and yours are good.
Also - the steward and voice comment...this is something that every angler needs to bring along with them every time we fish. Like, always always. Lots of new folks on the water - gear/bait/fly - trying to be outside and endure the pandemic. Being able to share the passion of the RESOURCE beyond catching, that is the value. Again, well done Ben!
This is the best video I have seen in 10 years. Nice job
Amen brother. Good message man, thanks for putting this out there. 👍
Your point about most people fishing exotic locations being rich and not super talented anglers is spot on....
Great video man. As the gentleman said down below. 'I'm huge, my fish are small'.
Great message! Great channel!
Thank you so much for this! Its nauseating watching the social media hatch!
Thank you for the video and your time.
That was AWESOME. you're one of the good ones!!
Savage burn on the Soque, and I am absolutely here for it. Stay Huge!
I used to think you were just OK, but I'm a HUGE fan now. Good on ya!
Great Video. Very true. Nice call on MW. Thanks.
Best thing I have seen on TH-cam for a while👌
Enjoying your posts
Thanks Ben! I feel less bad for deleting my insta account. The more time I spend obsessing over other’s pics and making sure I take my own, the more time I miss fishing! I’m still going to put the time into watching your TH-cam creations. You know what to do!
Ben, you have it 100% right - the best fly fisherman is the one who has the most fun
One of your more meaningful and necessary rants. Noice job.
Seen a few of your videos. I have to admit they aren't always content I enjoy, but this...this video gained a subscriber. Now I have to make my wife watch it so she can understand my distain for the San Juan River and the atmosphere/attitude areas like that promote.
Love to see bigger accounts like this take a stand. Make Hunting Great Again, Copper Plated Sixes, FFBI and all the meme accounts are doing the lords work but will never win over the crowd already swayed by the desire to live like the influencers. It takes people like yourself to say something to make the change needed, and it’s awesome to see
Ignore social media and just FISH damn it!
What are you doing here then. On this social media site
Great video my man.
Very well said, and needed!
Do my two pictures of a 4 inch smallmouth bass make me an influencer?
Yes.
That was one of your best vidz! 👍
Your best video yet!!! 🙌
Had to hit that Subscribe button after watching this video! Great messages for all fishermen, not just fly fishermen! thanks
So true good for you calling them out!!!
Dude, I appreciate the message so much. You rock. I’m gonna buy some of your shee just because. I might disagree with an opinion of yours from time to time, but you are, on the whole, righteous.
Right back at ya
GREAT JOB AND GREAT VIDEO!
The soque comment was perfect😂😂
"We don't care about your big trout" LOL . Great video man! I agree
Love the videos. Just recently subbed after connecting with About.Trout and seeing you guys fish together. Think your stuff is very original and funny. I also heard you are from MD, where I am from :) So we have that in common. Anyway, keep up the great content and tight lines!
What took you so long? I’ve been subbed to you since you were at like a couple hundred.
Love these videos! You do an awesome job and I learn stuff! I haven't been fly fishing long so I really have to get a "I suck" hat.
I also fly fish with beer but I add a cigar. I lady on the little Red called me her hero. LOL
Do you ever harvest a fish? I've never seen you keep one.
Seriously, thanks for this one it needs to said!
Thanks man. This was a cool video!
Awesome segment
It’s Monday . I’m huge . My fish are small 🍺
I'd wear that shirt.
Great vidy. I’m sure you know there’s world class Lake Erie “Steelhead” or lake run rainbows as we like to call all around Cleveland. Come out sometime it’s a blast.
Cheers buddy great video
Well said Ben👍🏻...and boys.
Great vid!
Great message! So true!
Thanks for the post ..good info....
Can’t top that , well done . Huge fan .
Keep it huge my friend..
Amen brother! Appreciate your take on this and these IG posers do need a taste of their own reality 👊👍
This vid made me hit the Subscribe button, talk about hitting the nail on the head 💯
applies to more than just fly fishing...thanks Ben!
If I could like this a 1001 times I would. You said what a lot of people want to say. I’m just as guilty as the next person for looking through social media and felling that jealousy creep in. But, it does me no good. I love that I can share my catches or the flies I’ve created with friends and family across the world. And if I’m lucky, sell a fly or two to help pay for this addiction. I think a lot of these “top” fly fishers forget that we are in one of the smallest percentages of the outdoor world.
🤣🤣🤣🤣The lil smokies pic had me crack up
Lol. I didn't even know those fly fishing influencers exist. 🤣🤣🤣
never seen one
Wtf have you guys been?? Gotta be sarcasm
Same here ..
Hell yea!! Amen brother. 💯 Agreed,with everything you said.👍👍👊👊
I appreciate this video.
Well done and necessary !
hahaha well done my friend. now i need a hat. HahA
Hahah dduuuuude preach it! So funny and accurate. Can I share this on my Instagram page? Lol but for real.
Dude I just want to give you a high five for this video hahaha, well said. I get quite annoyed by the people in both the hunting and fishing industry who portray themselves to be something they aren’t. Not calling any names out but as you know there are a ton of those people. I always strive to stay humble and know my place and where I am in what I’m doing.
Great video
I’ve been seeing a lot of golden dorado clips on Instagram lately. A bucket list fish for me but many many years and dollars away, if ever. Interesting that this video came out around the same time.
You slammed Cleveland - well, you're welcome to come and join me for an outing in the Steelhead Alley. Heading out tomorrow!
Thanks for articulating what has been gnawing at me for a long time.
Everything about this video = YES!!
Thank for everything
You influence me for sure!
Love the hat shirt and beer coozy . Where do I buy it ? 🤣
This video is the hugest yet
Well said!
I just came across your channel and you are exactly right! I've been fly fishing for a long time and on the board of Trout Unlimited but I'm just an average poor fly fisher living in R.I. and i hate this friggen vidioes of people fishing all over the world just so they can advertise products. Keep up the great content!
Also I'm know a subscriber. Thanks for the video!
Four influencers have seen this video.
Wow @4:02 that's insane shit. The influx of fishing photos I see on social media made me worried about this kind of stuff you pointed out. What a 11/10 video though about the reality of it right now.
Thanks for calling these people out man! I work in conservation in the midwest and we deal with this on the deer hunting side of these idiots!
Solid shot across Cleveland's bow. Hashtag respect. We do have fish here, we just call them by the wrong name.
Hey Ben - you and professional fly fishing guide and professional alpaca wrangler Hank Patterson are the only ones I follow! Stay Huge.....and come to Vermont sometime! Cheers!
great video! I don't have IG, so I didn't know half of this nonsense even existed. Sometimes, my favorite people to talk to about fly fishing are people who don't care about fishing, because I can blather on about this awesome lake or river that I just fished and it will just go in one ear and out the other.
I can tie a nail knot but who needs to now with all the loop connections haha
"trout bunnies" LOL Hope you get on your raft soon brother!
I guess my idea of guiding on the salmon pens is out. i even remove the feeders before the clients show up LOL
There are "trout bunnies?!"
You're obviously fishing the wrong waters!
I never see em neither
Please post the top 80 or so fisheries where trout bunnies are. I am asking for a friend. Thx
My Man!! Could not agree more!!
You hit a "huge" nail on the head, the pun is "reel". Lots of truth pointed out here.
So like, you get to rant and I can’t say, “tight lines!!” to a fellow fly angler. Smh, Ben.
Great video though for reals. Appreciate your passion. You make my Mondays.
best video yet
