That gave me a huge chuckle this morning! Your joy and laughter mixed with a touch of anxiety and anticipation captures the essence of fishing. Tight lines and filled nets brother.
Congrats to James on his first steelhead! You better start bringing the big net Dan😁. I know light weight trout gear throws a big curve ball into everything though so nicely done landing it.
My son hooked a big red side this summer, and I got too anxious to net it and ended up spooking it and he broke off. He was so mad I thought he would never forgive me haha, I learned a lesson its best to be patient when netting a big fish.
James gets pretty ramped up for sure (like I do) - it was his first steelhead on the fly, so I totally get it! I'm just glad I kept my cool and got er in the net :)

I am very happy we had a different outcome on this day! The pressure - oy vey!
Tense moments... Glad to see you managed to land that rather uncooperative steelhead
Trust me...me too!!!
So awesome! Congrats James! That was fucking great!
So good!
The amount you guys cuss always makes me feel like we'd get along on the water lmaoooo
I have a potty mouth on the river.
Cool video. What weight rod do you recommend for steelhead fishing?
Depending on the size of the stream - I have used my 7wt and 8wt 9' single hand fly rods
Funtime fishing Oregon
FFD, where was your trout spey? Perfect water to swing in. ☮ from North Idaho.
I knew I was going to use the bobber on this day, so I left it at home :))
@@FlyFishDan Time to invest in a 10' 6" 3wt. that you can hang an indicator and some nymphs from 😉😇
I bet that was delicious! It definitely looked yummy
It really was pretty amazing
Best tasting fish are always the ones you caught.
Exactly right!
His not going to kill you now lol. 😂
Nope, I'm glad I got the job done
Hahaha, "I will k1ll you!" Great catch =)
😁
And he didn't have to kill ya😂
It was a good day
Where is this?
Jim needs to calm down.

Bon appetite!
Bigger net, lol
Exactly!
I got him in the mouth. Isn’t that the idea?
Lol, he was running so hard he thought he was foul hooked at first
