    If the person netting the fish isn't as stoked as the person who is hooked up, you're fishing with the wrong people. Nice work fellas!!!

    Do you fish barbless when you fish for these bulls? It is vital when fishing for them with crankbaits and jerk baits to do that at a very minimum, if not just fish single hooks. Awesome fish, glad you got into some 👍

    • @FireflyFishing
      @FireflyFishing  Před 4 lety +1

      Yes all hooks on the rapala were barbless, hook popped right out when he was in the net! I'm typically always catch n release so I always pinch my barbs on flies and lures! But thanks for support, tight lines!

  • @wadeknupp5808
    @wadeknupp5808 Před 2 lety +1

    Good video. Clickbait title gets thumbs down. Scenery gets 2 thumbs up. Using too light of rigging, causing too long of fight and broke off fish gets 2 thumbs down. Multiple species with respect shown to even the lower gets 2 thumbs up. General fish handling, 1 thumbs up. Lifting Bulls out of the water, is illegal most places, so 2thumbs down. Keeping the name of the creek to yourself 2 thumbs up.
    This could have been a GREAT video.

    • @FireflyFishing

      Look into the main streams bull trout migrate up or live in and then look into the tributaries off the main river, and you just might find a bull or two🤘

    • @conormccall923
      @conormccall923 Před 3 lety +1

      Trout Man 007 I'd assume the North fork. He posted it in the summer and the bull trout migrate to mountain streams during the summer and in the valley in the winter.

    • @troutman007
      @troutman007 Před 3 lety +2

      @Conner, thanks for the info. And yes, that was my first guess since the IDW has a weir there, but the fish counts are higher above Pine, so still not sure. But this did inspire me to do a little research and I learned a lot about the entire Boise River Drainage, the key element for me is the catch them before they migrate into the smaller feeder streams to spawn. But it’s still crazy to see a fish like that caught in a creek that small, I have been fly fishing for + 50 yrs and it never gets old!

      brenden's north west outdoors "Full" is an understatement. But if he is visiting I'm cool with it. It gets Idaho tourism bucks. What is great for the economy. It also makes great entertainments watching people complain about 30 degree weather.
