    You guys do as good of a job handling fish as any fishing channel on social media - great job caring for the trout and not disregarding the health of the fish in the name of the content (not that the content suffers at all - it's also top notch). It's great to see such good environmental stewardship - my hat is off to you!

    Keep up the good work. I enjoyed the honest frustration in this video. It keeps a dose of reality in there that you're not just roping fish in a barrel. And there's nothing wrong with some spin fishing from time to time :)

  • @thedirtykitchenchannel9794

    NZ is fishing paradise when it comes to trout. U don't even have to try. Once after catching a monster (what I thought was a monster) my NZ compadres told me it was too small and to chuck it back! LOL, I said if I caught that one in Australia, I'd be on the front cover of fishing world LOL!

    Not that I have ever fallen down while fighting a fish but Dan that was funny. Full immersion. I walked off the is basalt shelf and went swimming. I had neoprene waders on so I popped right back up. Cold water wakes you right up. I always wade with a belt. Good God, huge trout, these are river monsters.

    listening to him talk about the spin rod is hilarious "can't catch fish on it." Coming from Florida I grew up on spin rods. I'm about to start fly fishing and I was wondering the same thing about fly rods.

    G, if you read a lot of the comments below there are many questions about the fishery - wild v stocked, land locked versus sea run, what they feed on, etc etc. Maybe give a bit of a lowdown at the start of the next vid in the series - I realise you are back home, but still...My understanding is they're mostly wild fish, migrate up from the canals to the headwaters running out of the lakes?
