I’m going to paraphrase but joe once said “I’m 84 and I’m on the downside of the mountain. One day I won’t be able to fish anymore and all I will have are the memories”. I’m so thankful I got to have this memory with him.
Joe was my Wrestling Coach at Bald Eagle Jr. Sr. High School and is still one of the most honest respected men I have ever had the pleasure of Knowing and to this day he still remembers me and my Brother from Wrestling. That was back in 69-70.
Joe Humphreys was my professor at Penn State University for a gym class in fly fishing. He taught us how to tie flies and tied an ant for me and I went out and caught a nice trout with him on one of our fishing excursions. Forty years ago he was a character and now he is 90. Here is the trailer for a new film about his life.
I was lucky to do the same. I was there between 85-89. I think I had the fly fishing class during the 86-87 year. Went to Fisherman's Paradise and Whipple Dam as class fishing-outings. Joe had hotdogs grilled up and snacks for us when we got done at Whipple Dam. I treasure my experiences with Joe.
I started flyfishing about 30 years ago. I never had anyone teach me. It was the Joe Humphrey instructional videos that got me started. Joe dedicated his entire life to this sport! What an extraordinary man! Thank you Mr. Humphries for your contributions in teaching so many people the love of the outdoors. God bless you sir! 👍
I had the pleasure of enjoying a whiskey drink with Joe at a fishing expo in Orland Park IL. 17 years ago. We spoke of his demonstration at the event, Smallmouth Bass, Trout, and life. I felt quite honoured to just chill with him and talk fish! I got the distinct impression he is a very kind, gentle man.
Well, just got teary-eyed at that video. A life well lived. Beautiful cast, beautiful scenery, being helped to have another go at a huge brown at 90 yrs old. Amazing.
Joe wrote one of the best practical flyfishing books I have ever read, and he autographed my copy. The title is "On the Stream with Joe Humphreys." I had the pleasure of telling him how much I liked his book at a flyfishing show. He is a fine human being.
I feel sorry for the one guy who disliked this video. This was awesome to see a 90 yr old Joe Humphrey land a mammoth fish. Joe is like a legendary Shaolin Monk lol like Pai Mai in the Kill Bill movie. The master.
Beautiful brown! I took a clinic from Joe many years ago, and thought he was great. Seeing him catch this huge trout in this tiny stream is quintessential Joe Humphreys. And wonderful videography as well, btw. Just an observation… in this video we see the net man almost lose the fish by stabbing the net forward. I’ve seen so many people lose great fish this way! Fish see the net coming and invariably thrash to avoid it. Instead of stabbing, lay your net in the water and hold it still. Lead the fish over the motionless net and THEN lift it.
For those who lack the imagination to understand why some would dislike hooking an animal by its lips and subjecting it to a life or death fight only for mere pleasure...well....you may lack the imagination and understanding that make individuals like Joe so unique. Personally, I live on the fly and stream for days at a time and love that most do not.
You should have commentary with the camera and go pro and mic type stuff catching these fish instead of voice over. More in the moment 1 on 1 scenes and less montages
@@pawildman8979 Bull crap! It is so obvious it is laughable. Bunch of fishing dudes and film crew sneaking through the bush in remote location hoping to film Joe catch a behemoth for his new movie " fishing with Joe". Oh what a surprise! Joe hooks a corn fed hatchery giant with great skill! Joe's trusty guide observing his great mentor with awe and admiration waiting nervously with his trusty musky net! 🤣
I'll agree with you. I appreciate Joe and what he's done for fly fishing, without question. He's a legend. Getting a bunch of flat brimmers to come photograph a pellet pig is a bit weird though. He's 90 some years old though, he can do what he wants.
Any student of the game, just got a little teary eyed, how awesome was that!!!!

This young man is the legend every fisherman strives to become! Hope he gets that 20 pound brown!!
20lb brown is my lifetime goal I've come close with a 17

You’re pretty lucky man, I taught myself how to fly fish. I always wished I had someone to teach me a few things.

oooooooooooooo i love it...90 years old and still working the old rod and reel!!!!!. Nice work Joe!. It's so cool to see a legend doing what he loves.

What a legend. That’s what it’s all about. Goosebumps watching that.

Ya, he kinda invented it
Good for you sir. It's amazing you are 90 and still able to do that.

The master at work.
It must've been such an honor to fish with him.
Excellent! What an inspiration to anglers and students of the quiet sport.
That was just incredible!
Unreal. What a champ!

Magic! What a legend!

Unbelievable. Congrats.

He knows!
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!
I will catch one when I turn 91 years old. 😀
The jumps were for the photographers and guests...they are friends for long time :)

Fantastic, keep it goiing!!
Great stuff!
Guessing spruce creek

Wow how many flies were in that line? A couple dries and a bunch of nymphs?
One
Legendary.

All the music-video editing, slo-mo, and film-speed changes makes this very hard to follow.
This clip is a joke. Obviously a set up. Would guess
would guess the fish is a brood stock rainbow from fish hatchery planted in the exact spot. lol

Well, you've already disqualified yourself from having half the class that Joe had.
