Who can hear my heart thumping when the fish starts to take the line?? 😂😅
Great catch on 2 lb line. Your cleanup efforts after those pigs is truly appreciated.
That was fun to watch! I caught a 5 pounder trolling at Crowley Lake a few weeks ago. So even though yours was bigger, I can relate to the excitement! Good job!
I’m hooked on the feeling dude! 😄
Thanks a bunch for checkin out the channel!
Hey what lure did u use?
There are some nice fish in Lake Gregory no doubt. Nice catch man
Thanks bro. They definitely put some hogs in there!
Awesome bro. Congratulations and Happy fishing 🎣
Beautiful catch, edit, and video commentary.
🙏🏻🕺🏻🎣
I wish everyone would pick up there trash and extra. The parks lakes and mountains are getting trashed. No one has respect for God's country. Happy fishing bro 🎣🎣🎣 thanks for helping keep the lakes clean. I do the same.
For sure. That’s where I’m believing we’ll get to one day soon.
Holy smokes! That's a monster bow - great video my man
Thank you dude!! Super blessed to have hooked into em. 🙏🏻
Great catch! Love the passion and respect for nature and our fisheries. Subbed!
Thanks brotha. Welcome to the channel! 🤛🏻
Way to slay the Lake Gregory stockers! Great job man. Congrats!!!
🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks dude! It was quite the day. I’ll be posting another video next week of the other trout we caught! They were huuungry!
Congrats, beautiful fish!!!
Thanks brotha!
Congratulations on the PB
Thank you Bert!
🔥ITS IN THE BOAT🔥landed it🤙🏼🤙🏼who needs a net🎣
🤣 oh gawd....ME! This guy RIGHT HERE needs a net!!!! lol
The relief i felt once I saw you put it on the stringer😂 congrats on the awesome fish but you gotta work on those fish handling skills my boy that fish would've died if you decided to release it. I know these are planters I just hope you dont handle wild trout like that. Happy fishing man
Haha I was relieved too 😅
I wasn’t planning on keeping that fish, which is why I landed it the way I did.
Congrats on your pb trout
Most guys would scream and shout its over 10lbs but you sir said " over 2lbs " so calmly and I'm subbing for that haha
😆 any fish in my book is a trophy. So this one was a real treat for me.
That excitement made the vid man! Tight lines! 👊🏼😝👍🏼
😆 haha thanks bro!!
Good job out there cleaning up around your site. 15 minutes of our time can make a difference for others who come along.
So true!
Dude I love how excited you were after you caught that fish. I love when that happens. I sound the same way every time I catch giant fish. Lol
Hahahha thanks man 😄
.Nice fish dude!!!!! 😃👍🏼
Try catching one on a fly rod. Once you do, you’ll never go back to a spinning rod and reel again. Check it out !!!
Overall, a great day. Great memories
Haha thanks man for the recommendation! I will definitely add a fly rod to my arsenal in the future! I love my spinning rod though, so I feel both rods are gonna be brothers 😆
When you first see the big one,….my mouth was actually hanging open! And when you weighed it??? I was pulling my hair out with both hands, I was so blown away. You were so sweet with the family and the little gals. Another great vid, brother. Followed you IG. I’m down in Winchester. Would love to meet up sometime!
Hahahah dude, you and me both 😂
Heck yeah man, would love to. Do you fish Big Bear often?
@@UntilJourneysEnd I wouldn't say often. Maybe 2-3 times a year. Maybe I need an excuse to go more???
Nice catch! Where can I get those small boxes where you keep your fishing weights and rigs at?
The boxes I have are no longer sold, but here’s one that’s similar 👇🏻

Good catch mate I’m no one to tell you how to fish but try using a bit less power bait on the bait up.
Thanks Mike.
I’ve been experimenting with larger balls and smaller balls of powerbait to see if I notice any bite difference, and I can’t say that I’ve seen much of a difference. So I’m starting to lean towards “less is more” ☺️ saves me from buying so many spare bottles!!
WOW, that is amazing. I was there a few weeks ago and didn't get one bite.
Lakes like Gregory heavily rely on trout stocking. Once the fish have been caught, the population of fish pretty much disappears. So you might have been there weeks after their stock, or, it could’ve just been an off day! This video was a week after their last stock. My dad and I went a few weeks ago, again only 1 week after their last stock, and the weather was so warm that the trout weren’t biting.
A lot of factors come into play, but your best bet is to go a few days after a stock. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@UntilJourneysEnd Thank you for the information! Very informative and helpful. I totally agree with you. I plan to hit Big Bear or Lake Elsinore this weekend. Lake Elsinore has huge Carps and Catfish believe or not. I caught 4 with my dad the other day and we deep fried them. Bomb! You have to make a trip when your in the area. Keep up the great work on the videos! Hope you hit at least 100k in the next few months. Always cool to watch this kind of stuff. Outdoor chef life and Fisherman's Life channels are fun to watch too.
@Malvarez909 No problem dude! I’m looking forward to the day when I have a bigger audience. But, until then, I’m really enjoying being able to have conversations with people like yourself!
I’m not a huge urban fisherman, so I probably won’t make it out to Lake Elsinore. BUT, if you’re after some big carp, I just got back from a trip to Big Bear 3 days ago and my underwater camera picked up DOZENS of big carp, 10ft from the shoreline!
It sounds like you and your dad know how to live well ☺️ If you end up heading to Big Bear, I hope you make some good memories! 🤛🏻
Caught my pb on the same exact spot Nice one
Yeeeeeaaah come on dude!
Heck yeah ! the tips worked brotha! Tight Linez!
🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you dude!
Nice catch! Really enjoy watching you netting the fish :)
Lol, well, let’s just say netting my fish is going to be a habit from now on 😆.
Thanks for watching Logan!!
I always think it's best to let the big ones go but good video and that is a amazing fish
All the trout at Gregory are stocked and are sterile, so they’re meant to be enjoyed as a meal if the person wants, regardless of size/maturity ☺️
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed the video!
Good job men nice fishing 🎣
Nice good fishing went in the water for that bad boy hell yeah
😂 dude, no way I was letting that thing go!
Hell no tackle him 😂 jk good catch
🤣
Great catch man, fished gregory yesterday and left with a few nice sized fish, they're loving the orange. A couple of weeks ago they were all about the white mice tails
Thanks man.
Yeah, it always amazes me how they can just not like certain colors on a given day. You could be doing everything right, but they won’t hit on anything unless it’s a color they like. Goes to show cycling through your baits can make all the difference!
What a catch!
Good stuff man. Felt like I was fighting that PB right there with you 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤪🤪
Hahaha bro, I’m sorry then if you crapped a little 😂
Cool vid! Years ago I caught my pb bow at Intake 2 up in Bishop, CA. I was using 2lbs test as well. The fight was about 10 mins but it felt like an eternity. As soon as the fish was in the net, the jig popped off. 2lbs test is no joke when you get into 4lbs or bigger class. Gregory is a good lake to fish. Too bad they charge a fee, now 👎🏽
Hahah dude, I know what you mean by an eternity! 😆😅 It’s a great feeling in the end though right? hahaha
Well, I know it’s not ideal to have to pay $10 to fish when you already have a license. But Gregory specifically, does a ton of private stocking of some big rainbows and the lake isn’t very big so it’s easier to find the fish. In most cases I’d agree with you, but for Gregory it makes sense. In order to stock that many fish, they have to bring in some extra money.
I guess that it only takes a moment to go from dangler to professional angler! Nice fish and nice reaction 😊
Hahahah so true 😄 thanks Joan!
That’s a monster for Gregory there’s few huge bass and huge carp in there but that’s probably the biggest trout lol lol I’d love to know how long he was held over maybe planted few yrs ago I’m guessing? I dunno I wish was a way to tell how many seasons or years those holdovers are in there
I would love to know if the trout holdover in Gregory! I’m going to look into that more...
I do know however that this fish was most likely not a holdover, as they had been steadily stocking the lake with some big fish in the weeks prior to me fishing there. Right after I left that day, another guy caught a 5lber at this exact spot!
Man such great vibes this whole video. Good stuff bro. 👏
Thanks my man!! 🤙🏻
I just have to say you have really amazing content man!! That is a fat trout.. awesome channel I’m happy I found it on my suggested. From a fellow small channel on the east coast. 🤙
Heeeeey East Coaster!! Welcome!! 🙌🏻
Glad you found the channel, thanks for the kind words man 👊🏻
Bro that is a MASSIVE trout!
Great catch brotha!
Thanks Michael 🤛🏻
@@UntilJourneysEnd we gotta get in the tubes bro.
i just bought a new one.
and i still have my togiak.
i just tore my calf muscle tho so i’m healing at the moment. but when i’m healed let’s get out there
That sounds like blast!!! I am in!!
Duuuude, so sorry to hear. Heal up!
@@UntilJourneysEnd i will man.
just keep the vids coming so i have something to watch while i’m recuperating lol
Broooo. I will! 👆🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great video I really enjoyed it and it looks awesome quality I do some myself as well 😊 and then get lines 🎣
Thanks buddy!! Keep making those videos 🤛🏻
My god that was a HUGE trout! I had no idea that Lake Gregory was holding fish like that.. I waste my time up at big bear because we have a house up there but I never catch anything. LOL
Big Bear has good quality fish, but I haven’t caught anything over 2lbs myself. Keep at it dude there are a lot of trout up there!
Gregory has just been doing heavy, heavy stocks the last 2 months. So people have been pulling out a lot of hogs! Definitely head down there before their last stock in June!
That is an awesome fish congrats bro
Thanks Fab 😄
Heck yeah!!!! So rad! What lake are you at? No horsing them in this time. Way to go!
Haha NO SIR 😆
Thanks brother! This is Lake Gregory! In Crestline!
They are stocking trout twice a month, through June! Between $8-10 to fish. But everyone I saw there, caught at the least a few fish.
great job I know the feeling! You also gained a new subscriber as well! Keep up the good work!

These are my outings catching a few hogs!
Thanks brother 😄🤙🏻
Do you have any tips for using a lighter line? I use 4 lb test, but it snaps constantly when I hook up on fish. The line snaps even with minimal pressure with my hands so Idk how anyone can be fishing with 2 lb line 😭
The 1st thing I’d recommend is to make sure your drag isn’t too tight. The way to check, is if you’re able to pull line out by hand from the reel without much pressure, and you can hear your reel “squeal” a bit while you’re doing it.
The 2nd thing, is I would switch over to 5lb Pline. It’s fluorocarbon coated which will help with abrasion resistance and visibility, and is still small enough in diameter for trout in clear water. Here it is on Amazon 👇🏻
amzn.to/3Tt9dmq
@@UntilJourneysEndThank you so much for the detailed answer! I set my drag pretty tight, so that's probably why it snaps so easily(still a newbie 😅). I'll definitely check that line out. Also, do you use a leader, or is it all on that line?
@rumdab Of course dude.
I use what are called “Carolina Keepers” (the clear version). This will go on your main line and replaces the swivel, so you don’t have to tie on a leader. Saves time! Sometimes, you might need to clamp a small splitshot underneath the Keeper if it starts to slide down to your hook. (water temps or the size of your slip sinker above your Keeper can sometimes cause the Keeper to slide during your cast).
👉🏻 amzn.to/3Vb0dDD
@@UntilJourneysEndThat's really neat, definitely adding that to my tackle 👍. Thanks again for the tips and have a nice day bro, I already subbed but wish I can do it again 😂, you're awesome.
Been in the same boat. Was fishing SARL went on an off day. Wasn’t expecting to catch anything and got smacked buy an 11.5 lb rainbow using a 1/4 kastmaster with 4 lb test.it was barely hooked. Fought it for 20 minutes and finally got it finally tired out.Still remains my PB to this day.
Ooof man…now that sounds like a heart beater 😅😅 Nothin beats it. Thanks for sharing bro
Should the first fish caught being that big that quick be released?
I once landed 11lb trout on 2lb line.
GEEEESH!!!! Nice job dude!!!
Awesome catch!!! What side of the lake were you at?
We were on the south side of the lake, near the dog park!
@@UntilJourneysEnd sweet! Thanks😎👍🏻
wallhanger!
I remember one time i hit up the lake after a derby they had back in 2018 and a big trout spooled me. i only saw him jump once.
These kinds of fish make for a great story!
Dude ! That was a beast. You need to come up with a way of holding a net like a ninja holds its sword. That was awesome man. I think my heart was beating just as loud as yours.
Hahahahah for real!!!
I love lake Gregory I live there
It’s a pretty little lake!
Hey I saw you wrote another comment, but it says it’s gone. Wanna make sure that you deleted it and not TH-cam, because there’s been an issue with TH-cam deleting comments and it’s really frustrating 🙄
@@UntilJourneysEnd it was just about mice tails I’m getting some tomorrow
Gotcha! Did you delete it? (I’m trying to log how many comments get deleted by TH-cam). Either way, I appreciate the tip dude!
Hey is that an okuma sst and a diawa legalis 1000?
That was a lite action Bass Pro brand rod, and the reel I believe was the Daiwa LT 1000!
Nice what side were u on
I was on the south side of the lake, to the right of the dog park! 🤛🏻
Just my two cents, but you'd be safer fighting a big fish like that with your rod tip up, letting him fight the rod and not the reel. It's what the rod is for, not to just to cast but to wear the fish out.
I agree…which is one of the reason’s I stopped using 2lb line like in this video. I was more so concerned the line would snap which is why I let him take as much line as he wanted. After a few months of using 2lb though, I found the trade off with supposed visibility just wasn’t worth breaking off and losing the fish.
@@UntilJourneysEnd OK, I can see where that might have accounted for your keeping the rod so low. Sorry, it's hard to tell from these videos why people fish the way they do. There's no perfect strategy for fighting a fish, and you were able to get that one in without breaking the line, and that's what counts.
Oh dude all good, it is hard to tell. I appreciate you giving me the tip regardless. Letting your rod fight the fish is actually something I need a reminder of anyway!
Firstly those words, as crap would be holy, i know they are usually swear words but they are not pleasant to God our Creator, secondly while being spooled nobody shall retrieve because the line gets twisted and might twist itself on the top of the rod.
Dude if your drag is screaming you probably shouldn’t reel lmao
Ohhh look at that! You fish soca too! I’m in menifee not to far from gregory i’ve seen a ton of vids but never managed to have time to actually go up there. Man that’s crazy! Do you use 2lb izor on all of your bait and wait poles? I usually mini jig with 2lb and then bait and wait with 4lb. I’m too scared to use 2lb as my bait and wait but hey maybe I’ll give it a try.
I absolutely fish Socal! 😆 The good trout fishing around here is slim. But I’ll be on the hunt this summer for secret spots!!
So, I am currently experimenting with 2lb izorline to see if I notice a significant difference with skittish trout. So far, Socal fishing I haven’t noticed a huge difference. Up in the Eastern Sierras, where the water is much clearer, I’ve visibly watched trout spook when I was throwing lures with 4lb line.
By the end of the year, I’ll post a video about my experiences with both 2lb and 4lb line!
TOO BAD U DID NOT RELEASE THE FISH FOR FATHER MORE TROUTS ......................................... TUMBS DOWN ~~~~~~~~
Hey James! The trout in this lake are entirely hatchery raised fish and likely all sterile, with no feeder creeks going into the lake to allow spawning opportunities even if some of the fish were fertile. So in essence, this lake is stocked so that people can catch fish and also to keep them if they want food.
Wow rarely do I see a fish mishandled this badly . Congrats
You shouldn’t have been using two lb line in the first place 😂 😑
You killed that big one?? Should of let her go!!
These are all stocked trout that most likely will not make it through the summer 😕 So taking them home is the best way to not waste these guys.
That bow was a hog. Very nice also thanks for cleaning up all that line very harmful on wildlife. 🎣
