“Nice little brownie”
*pulls massive trout out of the water*
You great lakes fisherman are completely spoiled when it comes to your trout and salmon fishery.
compared to what he normally catches it is little, he held the record for biggest brown trout for a while.
Eric, it's nice to see ya fishing back where it all started and see the genuine love of bank fishing.
I’m starting to appreciate river fishing more and more...great tips for us bank fisherman! Thanks, Eric!
Above the damn on the river he's fishing is loaded with northern bass catfish and crappie that people barely know about
Oooooh!!!! Loving this!!!!!!!!
Excellent video, thanks for passing on some of your knowledge. I am new to fishing the rivers/tribs, and by new I mean I suck ha ha, getting tangled in trees and snagged every 2 seconds, it just hasn't been my grind. I'll put these tips and tricks to good use out there and hopefully improve. Thanks and tight lines! 👊🤙
Impeccable Fishing thanks dude your making some great vids as well!!
Another beautiful fishing Congratulations Fisherman! Have a very successful week and good fishing!
God be with you!👍🎣
super epic dude! nice!
Good job, I love the rod you always use the best rod the legend fish with the legend!!!
wow that's what we call fishing ❤ real Anglers
U the man Eric
Good job man ✌️
Totally jazzed to see you using a light spinning rod for these big fish, just like I do in Eastern Oregon for steel-head. Although ours are a bit smaller: 3-9 lbs........ Way to be a sport and develop your skills!
Love the videos awesome!!!! Great job Eric!!
Appreciate it Kurt!
Great video
Lets go! Thanks man.
Gotta go!!
Great ya taught them young men!🙌🏼🙏🙌🏼
Thanks for making me and my friend spinners I was juniors friend Jayden in the video just wanted to say thanks.
No problem buddy
Great instructional video-glad to see you sharing your knowledge with young anglers. An alternative to treble hooks is siwash hooks with the open eye. You can actually put them on the closed end of the wire shaft, pinch them closed with pliers and build the spinner in the opposite direction of how you did it. I’m just not a fan of the trebles for catch and release. Great job, though.
Subscribed and liked . I live in southwest Michigan around the St. Joe area , I’m going to try these rigs in the paw paw river , also St. Joe river. I almost had my first steelie last week! Also looking at the comments of some people , I feel they didn’t watch the entire video . Thanks
Wow, you deal with some beautiful browns brother, wish I could say the same about the trout in the Pacific Northwest, far and few between to get
anything remotely the size of the fish you battle, love your enthusiasm...keep bringing the videos..!!!
Great video, subscribed. Chase that chrome
lovesskiingpow thanks I appreciate it
Best fisherman ever
I like your video gonna have to watch more
Love the video and the the enthusiasm. I can tell you love what u do!!!
Doing what I love buddy thanks for the positive comment
@@wibigfishcom your welcome would love to come catch big browns and steels. Couple years ago i caught couple 12 pound steels up on the Grand River in Ashtabula Ohio.
@@steveschrock6203 We have a world class fishery
He said "unthaw"🤣 sorry just had to. Great video.
GREAT VID. Watching from Adelaide Australia
Thanks for watching down under mate!
Great video man! It's always nice to see how another goes about catching these trophies! And no matter the size it is a trophy.... :) My best from Michigan, under quarantine.
Getting ready for Salmon- Steelhead. Thanks for vid. Gunna try floating this year. Lodi Ca. Mokelumne River. +1 on sub.
I love this guys Wisconsin accent.
Who needs coffee when you’ve got steelhead? Lol 👍👊
Exactly
😀😀😀 awesome fishing trip looks like you had a good Monday awesome rainbows I would have had to keep one for them on the smoker Jim Kansas City Missouri Jim enjoyed the video
Nothing wrong if you want to keep and eat some fish!
Mark from Nevada here, I have been enjoying your content for years. My biggest pike was a pickerel haha never caught a pike. My home water is Lake Tahoe, my best laker was 25 pounds and best brown was 11. And I want to win the guide trip!
I would love to see you make vidoes of november shore fiahing trourt and best things to use at this time of year. I know its fishing and know guarantee but im always getting skunked or is november just a bad time to go but i know thay ice fish this river as well. Wondering would you also do an ice fishing segment on root river
Wow. Wonderfull fish. You are awesome my friend. Good luck 👏👏👏🦈🦈🦈
Nice work on the videos! Thanks for the tips!
Your videos are mint dude. Keep pumping me out and you would have no prob hitting 100k
Great video bro!!!! Beautiful fish and like how you were showing the next generation of steelheaders some pointers.... We gotta get the video game controls out of young men's hands and replace it with a rod. I'll start sharing your vids to try and help you get to 100,000
Darren drake thanks dude I appreciate it!👊👊
Just wondering where is that parking lot located where you were fishing the creek..I know the first location you were at by the steelhead facility but had no luck yesterday.
hi eric can u tell us the month when u make a vidieo on fishing Milwaukee harbor for browns. also make one for perch.
Could i use a slip bobber also? What about a weighted slip?
Sorry if this has been asked already, but where do you purchase the bits to build your spinners?
www.jannsnetcraft.com and Barlows tackle (don’t know the web address)
I would have like to see how you set up the bead bobber weight ect,..
👍
Curious about the treble hooks on your spinners. Do WI regs allow trebles in the tribs? NY Great Lake tribs prohibit them because of all the snagging. Great video!
Jeff Dillon yes perfectly legal in our state thanks
You know your doing something right when ya got haters! Keep up the good work Eric!
That's really a dumb saying. People hate the guy _______ beating his wife and kids, for instance. But to say he's doing something right is just crazy.
Insert anything in that space ( i.e. stealing your gear, car, running their sled through your ice shack, shooting at you, stealing a kids Halloween bucket, catching over 300 lbs of walleye in a day and keeping them, throwing a 5 yr. old kid over the balcony at Mall of America, ad infinitum).
Great video Eric! On your way to 100k with the content and enthusiasm you provide. Good work and tight lines brother!
Thanks buddy I appreciate it!!
Where’s the second place I went ? Is that the pike River?
Do you use a split shot under your float?
Yes a few down the line to make the bait float correctly in the currents
Get Blacktip up there to fish with you! He has a million subscribers! You two and ndyakangler are the best!
Yes we are planning on it!!
Fish in the water are fair game
LEGALLY
grew up in NW IN. can you eat the fish again?
Yes if you wanted to keep some.
Why do you put the hook below the bead?
What rod are you using there Eric?
Looked to be a lamiglass redline
Lamiglas redline 9’ 8 6-10
Thanks bud, think it would make a nice trout rod as well? I'm in Co. the fishing is pretty good here pretty much catch anything from .5# to 25#ers, I fish a lot here and then help my dad guide charters in Mexico so it would be kinda nice to have a rod I can take up to Alaska to salmon fish with and use here in Co. as well when I'm not in Cabo. Thanks @@wibigfishcom
Looked like trail creek
I live in GB. Ive been trying to get into trout fishing but dont know any good spots. 😞 How much would it cost to take me out?
Kick me a 50 I'll show you the Racine wi river system been fishing here my whole life bro
Hey Eric! Very nice video, but I have a quick qustion. What size float where you using first this video?
Thanks 6-7 gram floats thanks
How much for you to take me out on the tribs and catch some steelhead. I’m willing to pay.
Brother I'm with you on this one!!!!!!
Get a hold of me on my website is www.wibigfish.com
Yeah its just a gopro, definetly dont need to spend alot of money on one of them😂lol
If u ever come across the original gopro 1 or 2 then u can fet one under 100. I got mine for 80. But all the nicer ones are outrageously priced
Also I Think you were shooting a vid when I fell off of the cliff next to river run lol 430 am too dark and slick I went down like a sack of potatoes
Hey Eric just wondering if you have a P.O box👍
No I do not shoot me a message
@@wibigfishcom I did on Instagram@coopsemo
If you catch and release, you can increase the life expectancy of the fish if you have it out of the water a maximum of 10 seconds. Pull the fish out of the water, show the camera, back in the water. On the other hand, browns are one of the best tasting trout species out there.
Use this as the I like fishing button
are you finnish?
Yes!
New to all of this trying to figure it all out. Don't they dye after they spawn. Steel head/salmon. I get the sport of things. I do they will be dead anyway. Just trying to figure out what the hate is all about.
Salmon die after spawning one time. Steelhead can spawn 2-3 sometimes 4 times before they die
Lamiglass, that's not one old rod brand you here about much anymore!!!
They Make some awesome float rods!!
@@wibigfishcom My earlier Musky days I wanted one soooo bad, but never did buy one.
@@wibigfishcom Wanted one soooo bad back in my earlier days fishing Musky's!!!
Love your new dedication's to your YTube goals, great channel and great fisherman.
@@drtdbbt2588 giving it a full send and going all in!!
@@wibigfishcom KUDO'S!!!
Want to meet up? I'll kick you some cash? There's a tree to the left there under the second bridge I know the entire area up by colonial as well.
that first fish a Brown?.... looks like a Rainbow/ steelhead though
The bleeding hearts who say leave them be. Alot of the fish there seeing wouldn't be there I it wasn't for fisherman like Pacific salmon steelhead in great lakes. Not to mention if done properly catch and release is perfectly fine. Even if just wild fish I fish them the amount of money from fisherman for guides hotels restaurants etc. They never think of that
Dump the Gamagatsu's, Owner cutting point trebele's are by far better.
Jody Basham nope they break easier than a Gamakatsu that’s a fact and the gamakatsu 2x is the strongest treble. Go fish salt water for a month then you’ll see why. Every year the past 10 years we fish salt water a month and I replace all my hooks with the strongest sharpest hooks and I’ve tried Owner and they are solid but they break due to alloy in the hooks is brittle. Still a solid hook but not as good as a gamakatsu
@@wibigfishcom You have your opinion and I have mine.I switched to Owners for winter steelhead here in Oregon after losing multiple fish on Gamakatsu's. Owners are by far sharper and penetrate much better. After switching I didn't lose another fish.
not steelhead if theyve never been in the ocean
They live in the lakes and move into the rivers to spawn. So actually yes they are steelhead.
If you are drifting a bead with the hook 2-3 inches below bead, then I'm sorry you are flossing fish. Especially if you are site casting to them, and trying to drift in the face. The big hen at 28 min, looked to be flossed. Hook was in outside of mouth. I can't prove it, but seems "fishy".
If you actually watch the video you can clearly see the fish has gone out of its way several times to eat the bead. Watch closely you can see it’s mouth open up and clearly see her eat the bead. I could have lined 20 fish this day but choose to leave fish that were not interested in eating. Don’t hate bro I don’t line them or floss them, yea years ago when I was a kid I used to but it’s way more challenging and fun getting them to eat!
Blake Follett I don’t believe it’s flossing if the fish actively hits the presentation opposed to having the line dragged through its mouth. I think most steelhead fisherman would agree that most bead fish are hooked outside the mouth. It’s just the way it is. If he was ripping the hook through the water at the end of every drift, I’d agree with you 100%
Please tell me you’re wetting your hands before you touch the fish they’re delicate if you don’t wet your hands you’re pretty much killing the fish along with that net which also damages the fish there’s a lot of mishandling going on here you’re not setting a good example for other trout/salmon fishermen...🤦🏽♂️
It won't hurt the bigger trout like steelhead and big browns you don't need to wet your hand unless they are smaller.
Axel tristan please tell me you wet your hands before you eat or touch a potato 🥔
@@Swollenfishy you have Snoop Dogg wearing a baby hat and an ecstasy pill with a :-) on it on your TH-cam channel you're a troll
Those are landlocked rainbows. It does not matter if their parents were true steelhead. If they never see saltwater they are NOT steelhead.
Actually that is incorrect. They live in Lake Michigan all year and then run up the rivers to spawn and repeat the cycle
All these west coast people getting mad lol.
Isn’t it alarming that you said what you said about non native fish? The fact that you are fishing, solely on stocked fish is because of what these folks are preaching about, but they’re too late! Water quality and or fishing is why you’re, unfortunately, stating that in your video. Can you please start talking about water quality and native ecosystems that we are destroying? It might be good for both you and your audience…
