Good one - nearly spit my coffee. I originally thought the biking mirror was a brilliant idea for maneuvering backwards. Broke a set of sunglasses trying to pit it on, then realized it was not as brilliant as I thought and abandoned the idea altogether.
I pinch my barbs on my flys and the hook falls out while in net. No need to handle so much removing slime. I take a photo while they are resting in the net. Get yourself a bigger floating Fabril steelhead net with a deeper basket, less than $40.
Good lord of fish! You got the magic!
Just found your channel .top quality content man . Love fishing with leeches and chironomids.
It really sucks that this video isn't 3 hours long
Great fish!
The problem landing these fish is your rearview mirror...Objects often are closer than they look!

I could do that all day long. Beauties.
Might you try a soft mesh net ? That allows the fish fall right into the well .
Cady Lake?
Super nice fish but hard to watch the netting. Try going head first and swoop up the fish next time
what weight rod is that
Thayt was a 6 wt. Fish in this lake can go over 10 lbs.

How about less of the “hero shot” and getting the fish back in the water!
very awkward handling...nice fish
will they survive the net!
You need a real net. And a bit heavier rod apparently. Too much show before you let’’em go.
Nice fish but too much handling of the fish go barbless.
