@@Clanky8000 the beauty on them fish is art! And they are as equally yummy!

@@MountainStateAngler i haven't tried eating trout because I'm a catch and release

@@garyrafferty7625 indeed no matter the size of the fish! The further you walk the better too.

@@aujinaj769 wtf you talking about man. That fish is in the weeds that it was caught in. Please don’t assume I abused the fish man. If you are a true follower of my channel and don’t just watch 15 second clips you’d see how much I love and appreciate these fish. Literally catch hundreds of them. This was a little exception because it was a giant stomach. Thanks for even watching 15 seconds of the video. I appreciate the honest comment.

@@MountainStateAngler I’ll check out some of your other videos when I got some time for sure. I’m not accusing you of abusing the fish at all. Just that trout, especially big brookies have a slime that is essential to their survival. Setting them on grass or sand or rocks can make it hard for them to recover that slime on their skin. That’s all I was getting at, and also simply stating that fish will be a potential record fish if given the opportunity to grow for a couple years. Amazing catch, and fish on!

@@aujinaj769 yes I know. I’ve caught thousands of fish. I try my best to keep them in the had and let them go.

@@grahamy4 start of October 1st till late November they will go against current. :)

@@lamorisjohnson7905 little? In Colorado there are huge kiddo. If you live south then yes it is tiny :D

They just about to die and don’t taste too good.

Yes! A nice winter bow!

Look harder. As much as you think you know all the lakes there are many you may not . I live in Colorado 32 years and been going to Gunnison for 12. ;)

@@MountainStateAnglerI think I might lose my sanity if I keep looking for this lake haha

Doubt it, keep crying

@@Angling_addict gtfoh man. It’s a brook trout that didn’t spawn from fall. They don’t do stock trout ponds from Brookies.

Sorry about the response. But wanted to be honest.

Yes, right below a spillways

It’s in my video. And I’m not sure where to find the link. I’m not on Facebook, if you got a link post it to me on here and I’ll put it in my description happily! :)

Hi! I used a KVD Jerkbait in this one. Line was 12lb Flouro by P-Line.

Haha thanks for the laugh before I got to fish here I fished at a lake where I caught my first solid brown, turns out I was fishing a sewage lake. Somehow caught two smallmouth bass out of there. Thanks for watching!

I wanted to cry

@@MountainStateAngler I feel like brown trout sometimes know when they are hooked and know how to get off. Either by flipping the hook out or rolling on rocks to snap the line. Very intelligent species of fish!

@@RamseyTheProducer I agree! They are bad ass predators!

Oh man! Congratulations on getting the 40 and the hat! I have yet to catch a 40, in this video as you see is the closest I’ve come to a 40. At Flaming Gorge I’ve caught a 40, but they are normal there.

Beautiful place even before I got into fishing I use to just go on long walk and hikes in the mornings before work or on my day off and enjoy the beauty and started seeing anglers having a great time battling nice fishing and started!

@@MountainStateAngler I got a photo up in a Frisco rafting outfitter from about 20 years ago I was in the Blue around a mile past the gravel pits have to hike in to this spot it’s a deep pool on a big horseshoe bend and a green drake hatch started happening, I tied an old beat up green drake on and around 6 pound rainbow hit right then the rafters came down I let them thru and they stopped and all took pics when I landed it, pretty cool day.

@@davids11131113 Wow, a memory to remember. Thanks for sharing your memory on here. This is why we do it.

I bet that works very well as a fly where you are with steelheads.

Yea they are, heck even that I’ve seen and caught.

Upon closer inspection it looks like an eagle try to grab it or something and dropped it.

Indeed, especially in spring and fall! Those pre spawn colors are amazing.

Head towards Gunnison, then when you get to the city turn right as if you're going towards Almont and Crested Butte, there are dirt roads you can take and drive. If you pull up google maps there are lakes you hike a mile to that have plenty of them. Same if you're in the Northern Colorado area between Colorado and Wyoming as if you're going towards Saratoga. Hope this helps.

Yo Randy! We got to fish together soon!

Naw man it’s Colorado River by Williams Fork reservoir. Look up Williams Fork Reservoir you’ll see the river on the map. Wish it was private it would have bigger fish!

I am not sure what Shaver is. If that is a lake name. I am not at Shaver in this video.

Hey Mike, it is not in Colorado as I barely fish the state anymore. I have been in Utah and Wyoming doing my fishing mostly, this particular lake is near Pinedale WY. Of the lakes Green River dumps into.

Thanks man, it looks like dollar lake up there. I haven’t been that way in years

Appreciate that

@@MountainStateAngler no problem brother would love the honor to get out some time possibly get me you Ben and Tom out for and adventure we are always game and would love to make some memories together and put some nice fish to the net💪🏾

Surprised the shit out of me when he hit it, I fell in the boat and while trying to get up he pulled me!

Yea I hate how narrow CZcams shorts force you to have the video

Twin Lakes. :)

@@MountainStateAngler I miss Colorado fishing. Good video

@@azbandit2747 thanks bud! I love the memories I’ve had on some of these Colorado lakes.

Lake Trout

@@MountainStateAngler lol

@@LeeWoody-xn5hp if you’re going to say a fish species get it right youngsta . It’s a Lake Trout (Mackinaw). I WISH it was a Musky, but we don’t have them in Colorado. :(

@@MountainStateAngler sorry 😞

@@LeeWoody-xn5hp no need to be! Do you have musky where you are?

I don’t eat fish so I wouldn’t know, they were all returned to die or be eaten by bears. They are dead and no good or dying my late Sept so best time to troll for the silver edible ones is July and August.
