Would love to see you guys do a Pacific Northwest salmon trip. The twins did it a while back and it was a hoot. They didn't seem to have clue what they were doing but it was fun to watch.
Gatlinburg is always a great fall and early winter trip. As long as you spend some time hiking in the SMNP and trout fishing. Be sure to make sure you have the proper fishing license and the required city trout permit. Salmon eggs, Trout Magnets, Roster Tails, and a can of whole corn nuggets is all the bait you need. An ultra light action spinning rod loaded up with 4lb or 6lb his heart-vis line, a small sinker, small hooks, and some BB split shot so do it for tackle. Add a stringer and a good filet knife. Enjoy! - Tennessee Smoky 😊
Great video! Love the Gatlinburg area, It's where my wife grew up! Glad you have diversified your channel and share it with all of us! Great that you included the bacon grease goddess in the video!
26 degrees sure makes that old sandy beach look better. For those that have never experienced it, 50 degrees in the beach wind can feel like 30 degrees in the mountains. Nice trip, glad you all enjoyed yourselves
Melanie you go girl, nice fish..We stayed in that area for two weeks, loved it.Yes I like to see you fish different areas. You never know what you may find.
Great video, guys. Brant, you have your fingers in so many pies I don't know where you find the time and energy. Nice to see the Bacon Grease Goddess with you and the way she was bustin' CMR! Got a friend that lives in Gatlinburg. Guess we'll have to visit him. Thanks for the consistent entertainment.
Trying new places to fish has always been a great up lift in spirit. I think the more you explore, the more joy you will find in fishing...Happy Holidays
Lived in Gatlinburg 15 years and am always amazed that so few people know it is CATCH AND RELEASE SEASON! I tried to warn the "fishermen" who loved parading their catch up and down the parkway. Nobody listens! The folks selling the daily permits should inform people!
Love the change of scenery, but saltwater is always my true "jam!" Fun video, and it's always good to see Melanie! Melanie put the smack-down on Ron. Poor Ron! Great trip! Thanks for taking us along! Cheers!
OK Brant, gonna give you me secret wild trout recipe after living 5 years in Idaho flyfishing. It was my standard creekside breakfast. Take that fresh trout prep as you did here, fill inside with butter Salt and Pepper and Jalapeno, just the skins. Wrap in foil toss in coals, make some scrambled eggs and voila, you can eat the fish with the Jalapeno or pull it and just get the mild bite of the spice. Oh so easy, oh so good,
Not that you need any advice, but for stockers I use anything that resembles a feeding pellet. For everything else, a white trout magnet. And maybe Camera man Ron should be Camera man omic ron. His trout catching skills are variant!
I am guessing that those big trout were brood stock from the hatchery that were stocked at the end of the season. They looked like larger versions of the usual stocker trout.
The scenery is beautiful. Lol....why leave.🥰🥰🥰. Maybe one day yall can come to Missouri and go to roaring rivers. They have some beautiful trout there. Check out the cave spring while you are there.
Ah, just what I needed. Brant in Gatlinburg. This should be fun. Oh oh, it's the Christmas sweater. Wow,, that's a heck of a morning Trout fishing. Never knew the Trout fishing was that good there. Yes, as long as it fishing then it's good. Trout fishing there's also Catfishing up on that area. Lots of TH-camrs catfishing up that way. Salt, Fresh, it's all good. I'm almost finished with my treatments and rehab. Should be able to start fishing again in the 120 very soon. Brant, I'm going Sunday with a guide out in the Everglades around the Miccosukee Truck stop off of 75 between Naples and Miami. Great Large Mouth, Real Nice Peacocks and the usual more than you can count Oscars. Ah, the mountains are a nice break for the land of palms.
Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is a great area! CMR would win the bet in the spring and summertime when those waters get HAMMERED! You were there at the absolute best time to catch fish with most visitors not fishing. Great video... absolutely fun to watch.
Being so close to the Tennessee River you should definitely take the time one year to chase some stripe bass. I think some of the biggest freshwater atrope bass on the world comes from right here in East Tennessee.
We stayed up in the Gatlinburg mountains a couple of years ago. The directions to the cabin up there were so confusing that we were terrified of having to navigate it at night. We made sure we were back every day before dark.
I would second the halibut trip or just Alaska fishing in general. Nice to see a different trip. Like the Florida videos a lot but you have asked the ?.
They stock starting just above that bridge in Pittman Center. Likely a stocker and not a native rainbow as they are higher up in Greenbrier. No real way to say stock versus native in that area, but that would be a monster native fish with it not being a Brown.
My man was exactly where I fish everytime in that deep pool right below the aquarium well close to it there’s a Few bridges down where there’s some monsters
every bridge that crosses the creek up there is a guaranteed stocker spot. They pull up on the bridge and turn the shoot on for a min. and move on to the next every thurs. No fishing on thurs.
You should hit Cherokee Nc $10 1 day permit $17 2 day permit. 10 fish a day limit and you can catch lots more fish than in Gatlinburg. We hit Gatlinburg once a year and Cherokee about 5 times.
Different locations and targeting other types of fish is a great idea. Brings its own set of challenges and using more of a variety of fishing techniques. Would be great content to keep adding to the channel. 🍻
Definitely enjoy watching vids like this…..very informative. I’ve always been interested in finding out where to go on vacation with my family, BUT be able to keep myself entertained with activities I like to do, like fishing. Moreover, finding a place to stay where I can literally fish in my backyard is my dream vacation. Similar to this video, I think that would be a great idea for ya…..exploring different vacation spots that allow for easy fishing excursions. Keep up the awesome work!
Great video as usual! To you comment regarding switching things up-personally enjoy seeing the change of scenery. Head back up there in the spring and target smallmouths. I targeted them in and around PF for the first time over Halloween weekend and caught a couple small ones plus a good 2.5-3 pounder. Was a blast and much different than simply targeting trout.
Would be interesting to see you try to do some burbot fishing around Lake Erie. It is a really delicious though it is not known about down south. Also, come up and try for some big and aggressive musky!
Plan a Clickbaiterz trip to Cabo San Lucas (San Jose de Cabo) and fish off the 26’ Pangas for Yellowfin tuna, Mahi, Wahoo, and Marlin. These trips are a blast! The resorts are all inclusive and surprisingly affordable! Eight years ago it cost us $1200 each for a 3 night stay. That included airfare, two days of panga fishing, and the all inclusive resort.
Nice trout brother! As always love your videos and your catch and cooks. Regardless of location, all are good as long as the lines are tight and you are having fun!
Those were some nice Trout!! I don't know how you learned about Trout Magnets, they should be call Trout Magic!!! You should come to Arkansas and try some of our Trout fishing and meet the guy that makes Trout Magic. That would be a cool video. There is also other great fishing too! WTG Melanie! First Trout got on quick. You should offer CMR Trout CATCHING lessons every time you see him! LOL
I love virility! Especially trout fishing! This video reminds me of fishing for stock rainbows in Susanville California right in the middle of town! Then traveling way up the Susan River to catch wild rainbows and brook trout. There is also Willow Creek, which is known for its wild monstrous brown trout! Average size is about two pounds, but I know people who have caught them up to 10 pounds (though rarely). You should come out to either GA or Alabama and fish the Chattahoochee River in the wintertime to fish for striped bass and hybrid bass! Let me know, and I will be glad to guide you on where to go and what to use!
I’m definitely no pro angler Brant but a Carolina rig with power bait catches for us here in NC. Gentlemen who taught me owns a home in Colorado and says the same method works there. Just food for thought bro. Awesome video! Love the catch and cooks.
Me and my girlfriend love going there to fish shout out to Ron showing love from Louisville Kentucky. Didn’t have much luck on artificial but we caught a bunch there with nighthcrawlers there’s a park there where they actually release the trout from you can fish at that park right next to the place
Would love to see you guys do a Pacific Northwest salmon trip. The twins did it a while back and it was a hoot. They didn't seem to have clue what they were doing but it was fun to watch.
Nice to spend time with your wife like that. Keep up the great video’s. I appreciate them.
Gatlinburg is always a great fall and early winter trip. As long as you spend some time hiking in the SMNP and trout fishing. Be sure to make sure you have the proper fishing license and the required city trout permit. Salmon eggs, Trout Magnets, Roster Tails, and a can of whole corn nuggets is all the bait you need. An ultra light action spinning rod loaded up with 4lb or 6lb his heart-vis line, a small sinker, small hooks, and some BB split shot so do it for tackle. Add a stringer and a good filet knife.

Keeping it fresh & new… enjoyed the watch.
I live near Gatlinburg, fishing is really good there in the early spring. You can only keep fish from the first of April to November.
My wife, who is allergic to fish BTW, always gives me crap for fishing in downtown Gatlinburg but I always tell her, the fishing can be awesome.
Should have got you a little jar salmon eggs the red ones they have yellow ones too but you got corn so that's good
I like seeing you wear that Blazer Bay hat!! Great video Brant.
Love the CMR taunts. I love the relationship between you, CMR, and BB. Go clickbaiters !!!!
I do enjoy the outdoor videos. Changing it up is always nice.
I love videos with Melanie.
Big fan of you traveling and fishing and getting a little feel or taste of the town.
Melanie you go girl, nice fish..We stayed in that area for two weeks, loved it.Yes I like to see you fish different areas. You never know what you may find.
❤️
Muskies, muskies, muskies!!!! I'd like to see you go north and try for some big ole musky (pike will be mixed in as well)...
Great video, guys. Brant, you have your fingers in so many pies I don't know where you find the time and energy. Nice to see the Bacon Grease Goddess with you and the way she was bustin' CMR!

Best line in the whole video… “we shoulda flew.”
Hey Brandt, bring your wife into upper Minnesota/boundary waters for a great series of fishing vids. You’re so great together, just love it.
Any chance you can put a polarized lens cover on the go pro? Would be nice when you guys are sight fishing.
I’m just now seeing this and I was the guy fly fishing by the bright 😂

the rainbow trout in missouri like minnows or velveeta cheese or marshmallows or corn.
Love the change of scenery, but saltwater is always my true "jam!" Fun video, and it's always good to see Melanie! Melanie put the smack-down on Ron. Poor Ron! Great trip! Thanks for taking us along! Cheers!

Melanie smokin' CMR on the trout, with corn kernals even lol! Way to go!
Mountain bridge monster. I enjoy your travel fishing videos. Thanks

@@bacongreasegoddesstv thanks. I love and subscribe to the whole crew
@@josephdisselkamp2586 we appreciate it 🙏
You are near my neck of the woods.. I live by the Bristol motor Speedway..
I wish I could give two thumbs up. I gave one before I watched the video. Wish I had one to give for Melanie catching trout!
I am guessing that those big trout were brood stock from the hatchery that were stocked at the end of the season. They looked like larger versions of the usual stocker trout.
I caught a couple nice ones off the first bridge 5 years ago. We were there for my sons football team playing in the turkey bowl!
Great memories!!!
👍
Still in the 80’s here on the Beaches of California 🌊
Whoo go melanie!!!
Had to rewatch these TN videos...up from TX and fishing the Tellico tomorrow.
I love this video , and Miss Melody caught her some trout ,,
Winter is coming would love to see y'all on the ice.
Whole kernel corn for trout bait.
As always it was a hoot watching you fish. You always teach me something or maybe a different way of doing it. Great video Brant

We fish a hatchery stocked river and an unstocked river a few hours from our home. I agree with your assessment, stocker trout is gamier.
Damn I need to get on the water

I miss TN. I lived in seymour for 10 years and knoxville for another 10 years. You are roughly 20 mins from my house
Great video Brant, glad to see the Bacon Grease Goddess with you!
The first time i rolled a whitewater kayak was right past that bridge !
Loved the video Brant...Melanie calling out CMR lol...like when you fish new spots, enjoy the change in scenery 👍🇺🇲
👍

Dang Brant, CMR can't catch a cold in the smokeys...

5 years and 1 day ago was the gatlinburg wildfires! Miss my hometown, plenty of great fishing there
I think changing things up is a good thing.
Man! I was just in Gatlin on a family vacation and wanted to wet a line there soooooo bad but there was no time. Awesome Brant!
Appreciate it
Hahaha she out fishes Ron, go girl!
Great video as always.
Congrats to Melanie on her first trout! Heck, I thought she was gonna grab it & unhook it herself!
Stay golden!
I'm from TX and my mom lives close to Gatlinburg. So gorgeous up there. Loved the vid. Can't wait to see what's coming up next
My man was exactly where I fish everytime in that deep pool right below the aquarium well close to it there’s a Few bridges down where there’s some monsters
I love fishing up there
every bridge that crosses the creek up there is a guaranteed stocker spot. They pull up on the bridge and turn the shoot on for a min. and move on to the next every thurs. No fishing on thurs.
Pay attention to rule and regulations when you go somewhere to fish. It was delayed harvest when you were keeping these fish.
You should hit Cherokee Nc $10 1 day permit $17 2 day permit. 10 fish a day limit and you can catch lots more fish than in Gatlinburg. We hit Gatlinburg once a year and Cherokee about 5 times.

The little guys, darker coloring, are Brook Trout. Fry ‘em in corn meal.!
Actually I remember delivering lumber up on that there's some of the chalet that burnt up there

Ahhh miss it there. Tons of groundhogs over there in that stream too. Some were coming up to people looking for handouts last time I was there.
I like all kinds of fishing.looks like y'all had a great time. Great video
Can of corn never lets you down!
Ever thought about visiting each state and catching a fish?
Pay up CMR lol. Good video looked relaxing.

Awesome Trouts dude, I wouldn't eat any on the southern part of Gatlinburg because of city run off.
Thanks for the video of the TN trip, that was sweet! Love you guys!! ❤❤❤
Great spot I usually go every other year. Rooster tail
Those were some nice Trout!! I don't know how you learned about Trout Magnets, they should be call Trout Magic!!!

Great job on the trout. Keep them coming. We are planning one this fall.
they got some nice size rainbows up there!!!!

Awesome Vid! Would love to see more FRESHWATER fishing!!!
I love going there on vacation we live in n c nice trouts
Dang that vid smacked dude fishing season is done here guess I will just have to watch all your videos to compromise 😂
Wouldn't mind seeing crappie fishing or bream fishing
Love the video! I definitely dig the hat as well! Hopefully that's a little Easter egg of what's to come in the future!
Enjoyed the mountain fishing. Just started watching the channel, looking forward to seeing your “back to normal” fishing.
Are there alot of streams there to fish for trout or just that one
I just parked in that garage Sunday.
simple is the best with fish, they don't need much
I’m definitely no pro angler Brant but a Carolina rig with power bait catches for us here in NC. Gentlemen who taught me owns a home in Colorado and says the same method works there. Just food for thought bro. Awesome video! Love the catch and cooks.
Power bait doesn’t work in gatlinburg man we tried it no go used salmon eggs nothing worked so used nightcrawlers very big trout there
Monster bass on down stream in Pigeon forge behind them hotels
Did you get a permit to fish gatlinberg and did you have a north carolona or tenn fishing license to fish in smokey mountain national park.
Real cool
Me and my girlfriend love going there to fish shout out to Ron showing love from Louisville Kentucky. Didn’t have much luck on artificial but we caught a bunch there with nighthcrawlers there’s a park there where they actually release the trout from you can fish at that park right next to the place
