My BIGGEST Brown Trout EVER!!!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Nearing the end of my time in the South Island, I get straight into it and head out explore another unknown river to me.
Right from the get go, it's a challenging place to fish but little do I know what is in store for me...
Just the stuff we daydream about...

What a classic. No major build up, just a big dark fish, and once on, don't you love how the big wise trout often head down stream in a big hurry to their place of safe refuge. You did very nicely to follow, get dunked, get exhausted but still protect the 5x from breaking. Lived as much as is possible and thank you for sharing that memory. Will join you in spirit and be in the South and catch something similar. And yes, to those other comments, so lucky to have such a beautiful country, rivers, and wild trout. BTW, this is the first time I have subscribed so apologise for the ramble but just so happy to find TnOnTr and a fella who is authentic, real, a blast and shares all the best ways to setup and fish. Cool cool cool.
Thanks heaps for the sub, welcome to the team!! Appreciate it🤙
When a fish can make you that exhausted it’s a true monster! Marvelous my man, what a trophy
Thanks bro! Still thinking about it now!
@@TrippinOnTrout Best parts-chasing it and having to work on landing this tank. Alex is smart. After enjoying landing it-he takes a moment to just stop fishing and take it all in. I know I would be shaking after a fish like that. I'd need 4 tylenol to get rid of my headache 2 hrs later from adrenaline withdrawl.
You’re living the dream dude! Thank you for letting us fish vicariously through UK lock down four via your channel. Thank you.
Hang in there over there bro!!
They get big because they’re not native and have few predators. Stunning locations all the same
Thankyou for sharing your pure passion....to witness these adventures is simply magic !
Absolutely incredible! Nobody is making videos like you, brother, nobody. Exceptional work…
Thanks my Brutha
Stoked you dig it💪
Got my first fly fishing rod today wish me luck boys
good luck dude
James Mcpherson good luck mate
Ay thanks guys, had a go at lake pearson last week and got many wind knots and hooks in my back. Still working on the casting technique hahah
@@JameMakesNoise hahah great mate, practice makes perfect!
Once you flyfish-you never go back.
Beautiful fish and beautiful reaction!
This type of fish is a gift, and a wonderful blessing. To many act as though it's just another day in water with a catch like this one.
Keep it wet!!
My favourite fly fishing video ever. Period! The thing I really like is the authenticity. God you have to work hard in those free stone SI streams. Just outstanding work, and to see the genuine joy!
Man that’s so cool💥
Often think back on that day….one of the stand out moments in my life for sure
@@TrippinOnTrout 20+ years ago did a trip deep into Fjordland. I still dream about it, those +10lb wild browns sucking cicada patterns, regularly! Unfinished business in NZ SI, central NI too!! Stay safe. Hope this lockdown is short and your out on those early spring Taupo waters soon enough!
Mate cheers from Aus cant wait to get back to the South Island next season. A fantastic fish and a real pleasure to watch your fight. Tight lines!
Was a very special day that one!
Easy to get skunked on that river!
Wow loved the way that fish played you mate all over the river swimming in and out of the boulders and finally coming to the net , looked like his choice.He's most probably sitting waiting for the next challenge , fantastic fishing dream rivers please don't stop making videos like this they really make an old mans day.Neil Ryan.
Nice one Neil! Stoked you like the vids so much mate🤙
The beast! I was getting worn out just watching! Top flight cinematography as well. My favorite fishing channel!
Awesome bro, stoked about that🤙
Truly beautiful brown! Thank you.
I would think less than 1% of us would ever tie into a Brown that big. Especially in a river. Well done
and that's what makes NZ such and incredibly special place.
Great video! I watched many of your videos and those with your mate. Normally you guys are kind of ho hum and don't get very excited about 22" - 24" wild trout that guys in the US see maybe once a season. But I enjoyed seeing you get all excited and flustered with the monster brown. I've had fish like that, 23" - 24", on 5X and #18 dry flies that just wouldn't quit and you get so excited so happy when it finally is in the net. Good job and I'm happy for you.
Thanks bro!
Always happy to catch a fish but yes, you’re right here....this was a different level altogether for me!!
The stoke is real!!
Congratulations! What a sick fish and experience. I live in Colorado in the US and we have some amazing and world class fly fishing. And then I watch your videos and they seem like fantasy land
I’m stoked for you! Well done
Thanks so much bro.
Much apprecIated🤙
same boat here living in Western North Carolina lol i sit and drool over NZ streams. Scenery is almost as pretty as here to.
The ambient type music is exactly how you feel if you'ld exploring such ridicilously beautiful countryside with the rivers. Its what I experienced anyhow, at my first fly trip in Norway. But i had an almost ancient video tape,of N.Z's Sout Island. From the 70's! With some locals and a typical Usa cowboy/business man. Never knew the title . Just before Y.T excisted. So i played it over and over. Couldnt believe this earth has such places for real. So I love these vids. S.I. of NZ is since on my bucketlist. Where it prob. always will stay in. So thanks for making all these excellent videos. Living in NL ,its a far cry from Flyfishing as it should be(as in these vids)👍🏻💪🏼
That’s Awesome bro, appreciate that heaps!
It’s a special place alright aye💥
Enjoyed it No End. You have grown on me old son. I am now a bolted on Trippin on Trout viewer. Well Done!
Stoked I won you over bro!!😄🤙
Most instructive YT NZ FF channel ever. Mike's were great, as were some early guys like"Troutboys" I think, but nobody shared as much info., while providing excellent videos of beautiful places and fish. Tight lines!
100% agree. Unfortunately, Alex had to stop doing this as you will see from his final video (posted last week I think). So sad!
Thanks man,
Head over to Patreon to keep watching
www.patreon.com/trippinontrout?
Amazing videos and the fish are something else. What a place - top of my bucket list to visit. Thanks for making these - huge amount of effort and your friday fillers are great.
WAY TO GO ALEX!
Cheers man, appreciate it!
Watched this video for probably the tenth time, fabulous footage,amazing adventure for everyone too enjoy and follow many more,keep it up mate,superb.😀
Thanks man, such a special fish! Stoked it’s worth a rewatch or ten💪
For a moment there i thought you were on a mean bull that had never been ridden before , that was a long 7 seconds , one of the best trout fight videos ive seen.
Nice one, stoked you are digging the content! 🤙
Alex !!!! Watching you running up and down the river was making me tired lol the anticipation of that fish man wow !!! Congrats on that beautiful fish bro !!!
Chur Louie🤙
Nice one my bro
Love to see you chase that fish down! Glad you caught it! Have had the same thing happen to me a few times. Great to finally net them, but it kills you when they get off! Great videos!
What a beautiful giant brown trout! You earned his landing. Thank You for bringing us along on this fishing trip .Makes me want to go fishing in New Zealand.
It’s a special place alright!
Alex you are incredible
Nah, just spend a lot of time on the water bro
Awesome fish! Man you were breathing HARD! Great video, keep them coming mate!
Haha, yeah that fish nearly wrecked me!!
Epic stuff !!! Welcome to the South Island ! It’s work down here alright . But as you experienced that’s where the memories are made. Awesome video as always . See you out there man .. tight lines !!
My first few trips down there humbled me so much 🤣
And it continues to whenever I make it back if I’m honest!
What an awesome fish. That's what real brown trout fishing is about mate. Well done.
Cheers Colby, good to see you back into the vids🤙
Such a nice fish and great video. So many bucks and almost no hens. Usually kind of skinny too. I wish I have water like that. We have giant fish but super crowded. You're my favorite
Thanks man, stoked you enjoyed it💥
Oh man. What a memory you hooked!Nice work. So rewarding when they are that spooky
Love watching these video's . That last fish was the trout of a lifetime . Very different to the trout fishing here in Scotland
It sure was!! Nz is a special place alright🤙
Never watched someone run up and down the river like that interesting tactic and what a cool fish! Thanks for sharing and well done!
Cheers bro
I could feel your hope and despair all the way here. What a drama and this is when fishing is at its best! Thanks!
Great effort. Showed allot of patience and experience getting that stupendous fish to the net. What a bulldozer.
Sometimes it works out in your favour aye bro...!
Awesome brown Alex! You are a😅 fantastic angler and cinematographer. Beautiful done, you manage to capture
The beautiful scenery and the battle between you and that monster brown. Bravo well done
Thanks heaps man 💪
What a fish that last 1 was 👌🎣. It certainly gave you the runaround 😂.
Another great vid 👍
LOVE THIS VIDEO WHAT A FISH!
Unreal aye bro🤯🤯
Now that's a proper Lump Alex. Amazing place to catch beautiful trout.
What a great fish and I for one appreciate how much you went through and how hard you worked for that fish. I'm sure had I been fortunate enough to have gotten the fish to eat I would have ended up on my face in the river with the fish long gone. Another great example of why we do what we do, something most don't understand. Cheers!!
Hahaha, well I did nearly end up on my face in the river😆
Always chasing that kind of buzz and result aye mate..
That was a great workout. Well worth the walk in and out. Keep the videos coming. Thanks
Seattle area. USA.
Thats a freakin monster. That top shot above the fish literally made my jaw drop. Awesome catch man.
Unreal aye bro!!
Nice place and beautiful browns. Well done.
Just a suggestion, I'd love to see you holding the fish in such a way that allows us to see the tail too.
Great footage of an epic fight, a big fish, a small fly and a light rod..................I have chased steelhead several hundred yards down a river, stumbling over rocks, in and out of a raft, exhuatsed and lost the fish in the end............great to see your fish finally in the net.
Cheers man, was a truly special fish that one 💥🔥
Sick Alex!! Well played, the both of you!
Thanks bro, did I msg you back.....??
All good Matey,I herd celebrities usually have their own receptionists....
Haha, not quite there yet!!
Flick me your email again and I’ll touch base tomorrow
Nice 1rst trout after you spooked them,,thats why i love to fly fish🎣👊🇮🇪
Absolutely love the Howler Bros apparel!!
Yeah it’s cool aye🔥🔥
Alex that fish was 30inch all day and in prime condition with 5-6 inch shoulders.
Double figures all day long, not that it matters, pretty much a fish of a lifetime seeing as its wild, on film on a mission as well, friggin stoked for you mate.
Wikid bro. Thanks so much
You are going to remember that one for a long time. Awesome fish mate and fantastic work on 5x. Great angling.
Thanks man, def won’t forget it!!
Congrats & Thanks for sharing those moments 🤜🤛
Thanks for watching!
That’s a beast of a fish and what a battle . 👏👏👏
Thanks man, super cool day alright!
Another quality vid, mate. That brown was absolutely amazing. 🤘
What a stonker of a fish, that 10 pounder was amazing. In fact, they are all amazing, just wish I was back there again. The spare ribs in the Boot and Jandals in Omarama are something to behold, if you can even finish them all.
Literally “Trippen on Trout” - mega trout! Love your videos. We passed you yesterday heading out on your boat from Tokaanu
Hahaha, small world round here aye!!
What a fish! And thanks for showing how hard you have to work to get them. I need to swap my flies much more often and work on that presentation. I really apprecite the time lapses and monologue of the flies you're trying. I've got some work to do! Cheers buddy & tight lines!
Brown of my life right there and still buzz off it when I think back. Stoked the content keeps you entertained 🤙
Wow, what a monster Brown! Beautiful water, amazing country - thanks for sharing! All the best from Vermont, USA.
Thanks man, stoked you enjoyed it🤙
You earned every ounce of that incredible specimen!
Congratulations fantastic fishing.
Thanks man, such a cool fish 💪
Once again epic man, what an incredible fish! The colours on all those fish are amazing, so close the the colour of the water and stones spotting them must have been a challenge 🤙
That was a helluva fight those big browns are so strong the power can be unbelievable great job landing it
Yeah they are freight trains!
Epic epic epic video epic epic beautiful brown trout oh my goodness you live in Paradise my friend!!!
You got that right!
Awesome "bruiser" of a fish. He led you a "merry dance" that's for sure...🎣
Cracking Fish!! Great footage as always! 🎣
What a heck of a trout! The width across the back and depth of his shoulders are immense, and to land that on 5X - and - amongst all those boulders takes some skill. Congratulations on that beast! Another nice soundtrack too, with a hint of Cafe del Mar😎👍🏻
Was tense for a while there!!!🤙
Gorgeous scenery and no less gorgeous fish! Stunning footage!!
Time to seriously think about moving to New Zealand!! Solid game 👊
they don't allow it.
MY GOOD GOD YOU REALLY HAD TO WORK HARD FOR THOSE FISH ALEX, WELL DONE MAN, YOU REALLY NAIL HOME THE PERSISTANCE FACTOR...FREAKIN TOTAL EXPERT...MAN I WANNA COME DOWN
Thanks heaps man!
@@TrippinOnTrout I will come down from Melbourne as soon as the goVy lets us out of covid prison...Dan
No words can describe this video except INCREDIBLE!! Well done, dude!!!!
Thanks heaps man
Great fishing, great spots and great video. Cheers mate ...
When you catch a Big Boy like that one on a Size 16 fly... then it becomes a sport. It takes real skill to land a fish that big with gear that delicate. That was fun to watch!
A bit of luck in there doesn’t hurt aye😆
Thanks man, was a spectacular fish 🔥
The back on em! 🔥 mate you did seriously well to tango with that brown through all those rocks without losing him! 👌
Especially barbless!
Barbless doesn’t make any difference IMO
Chur bro!
Had some luck on my side for sure🤙
@@TrippinOnTrout easier to lose a fish because u cannot slack tention whatsoever to notblet the fish spit
@@WisdomWealthMotivation You should never slack off on tension when you are fighting a fish
Nice fishing mate ! Nothing like the 'Big Browns' !
Another great video mate. Proper inspirational. Love em all.
Awesum vid mate. Think you nailed it with the energy, music and cinematography.
👍😊👍
EPIC fish Alex. Perhaps you still get a buzz to think of how tough that battle was?! Outstanding
Dude, it still gives me goosebumps 😂
Again & Again You Just Keep Producing 👏🏽 Keep It My Man Brilliant Watch 👊🏽👌🏽
Thanks man
I am really enjoying the browns and obv they are all good but that one tank...the canal fatties are much larger but not in the same league by far. Great stuff:)))
Great fun , epic battle. Well done fella .
Thanks bro!!! Good times for sure!
Hi Alex, no need for words by me as it’s all been said by all those who watched before me! Congrats mate, magnificent! Harera
Nice one bro. Chur
Alex .....what an epic last fish .....man you were blessed that it ran up and down stream, around and thru rocks , you tripped up had the line around yr go pro ....etc etc ...still landed it all on your own mate ...what a fish bet you will remember that for ages and will tell me a story or 2 about it one day!!! Also of course a great set up ...good old Frank mate !! LOve that set up myself and that SA line is just the best .......have you tried the camo one yet ?
No yet yet bro, mean set up like you say🤙
Hay Alex, another awsome video👍what a fight you had with that monster brown🐋it was great viewing, mad skills shown there keeping it on through all the rocks and on a barb less hook to boot!!! Looked like a nice place to be, hard to beat that back drop👍😎🎣
Amazing place aye bro.
Didn’t want to leave!
I bet!!!
Congratulations brother 👊🏽 That is a magnificent fish! New Zealand is definitely a dream fishing trip for me and I can’t wait to get a little taste of the experience!
When you caught that fish I had in my mind the scene from a river runs through it. Just nutz! Take me on a guide tour sometime. Have orvis helios 2 5wt 8ft and a good pair of legs to walking that wilderness.
Saw that movie at the cinema with my grandad when it first came out!!
If you ever wanna hire me as a guide, just email me and we can hatch a plan bro 🤙
@@TrippinOnTrout have over 200.
Excellent Alex, well done!
What a fish Alex.
Congrats mate.
That’ll stay with you forever.
So so good.
Man that is truly the fish of a lifetime. Congratulations!
Thanks man!
After that Big Brown, time for a Cigar, a shot of Whisky and a Nap! Well played and Beautiful Brown!
Good Gracious! What a fish! Go Alex and Frank! Sweet 😁
ALEX WAY TO GO BRO GREAT FIGHT ON A MONSTER OVER 10 LBS.. SMALL FLIES CAN RULE ON BIG FISH.... YOUR BUD THE ONE & ONLY BOB..
Crazy to see that big trout like this even exist. Need to come for a visit and a fishing trip
What a fish dude and the fight to match! Loved every second 👍👌
Love watching you fish, man!! I’m fairly new to the sport and you make me want to get out and do it more. I’ll never be catching anything near what you catch on a regular basis though here in the states. Cheers, mate 🤘.
Get out there son!!! It’s all one big journey...you’ll start with smaller fish while you upskill and learn and then before u know it, you are on a plane to the other side of the world an adventures!!
I could feel the anxiety about landing that one , great film and fun to watch , keep up the good work
Loving the channel! I'm newly subbed, not into fly fishing, but love and appreciate your adventures from one angler to another.
I subscribe to a lot of fishing channels on UA-cam, mostly fly fishing. His channel has become my favorite! He does a good job editing and his personality grew on me quickly.
Thanks for the sub!! Welcome to the team🤙
@edub1278 Cheers buddy, stoked you enjoy the content👊
Really enjoyed your vid, like ya sense of humour too
Thanks bro. Stoked you enjoyed it!!
Best fight scene ever! on 5X !! Love your videos and narratives
Cheers for that!!
Thanks for watching 👊
Awesome stuff dude, pig of a fish. Hate wading rivers like that, every step is an ankle breaker. Keep them coming☺
Come to Norway for atlantic salmon and you walk in rivers like this 15 hrs a day:)
The shoulders on it Alex it’s a huge Broon Troot 🐟🎣🏴🏴🇦🇺🇦🇺 🐟🎣😁
Was a beast fish aye mate🔥
Just watched this again, what a horse. Love it Alex and here’s looking to next month. 👍
Awesome bro. Such an unreal day!
WHAT A PIG! Gorgeous fish! Loved every second of that, well done!
I'm pretty jealous of the fact that you can sight fish these trout. The fishing in Colorado is all by making an educated guess on where the fish are holding and then presenting the right fly to them.
Yeah it’s pretty cool to be able to target your fish🤙
