This was without a doubt the most entertaining video from y’all, I’ve seen so far. Clearly very different to your infotainment videos, where you present tackle, rods, baits and all the other stuff (which I adore as well). Partially cinematic with excellent camera, music, motives and cut, partially a buddies at work video and partially a homage to Japan and its incredible nature and people. I really want to learn casting the same way as this guy is able to and I‘m training until trout season starts next year. My progress is slow but steady. Thanks for such a unique content. It‘s the most professional and modern way to lead a fishing business imo. Very, very well done guys 👍👍👍
Funny to see how masa goes from being super quiet and shy at the beginning, to how high energy he is at the end after the 3 days. Nothing like a great fishing trip to bring strangers together 😂
Absolutely phenomenal. Perfect adventure, well captured, and immaculate production for us to enjoy. Masa saying thank you to each fish during the release made my day. Thanks for all you guys do.
This video makes me appreciate the privilege of living here in Japan that much more. We usually fish much farther south. Our annual trip takes us to the remote parts of Sado island. Most people dont get to see these parts of Japan, and would never realize this place has locations like this. Its always impressive as heck everytime I go out. Great documentary!
Just amazing!! If you are a fisherman and don't like this you are not a fisherman... Thank you Hook Up for taking us along with your adventure of a lifetime!!
Beautiful and exciting video. Fishing and adventure in Japan, it is very exciting. As you mentioned, fishing is not just about catching big fish, it is about catching special fish, with history and in such beautiful places. And also with Megabass! Very top.
That really brought me back to all the little creeks I used to explore in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. I never would have thought I’d miss catching small fish so much, but I do.
Excellent video and fishing adventure. Thanks for letting us view your trip. You can understand the fishing culture in Japan more by watching this documentary. Thanks to the Hooked Up Tackle.
You guys made me dream ! One of the best fishing video of all time and from far . Everything about this video is just wonderful. Even the sound of the bell in the back ground make everything come togeter ! Realy great one guys
Awesome video boys, I can't wait to see the video when you guys host the Japanese master angler here in the states. The streams and creeks reminds of some fishing areas in northern Mexican Mountains of Monterey where i did most of my BFS fishing.
😢 me ha hemocionado , que espectáculo habéis grabado!! Yo tb viajo por el mundo a pescar y estoy muy emocionado ahora mismo! Gracias amigos y buen regreso a casa 🫶🏼🎣.
This is without a doubt beautifully shot and edited. Such amazing work. I can say so much about this video being really special. Great job guys. Beautiful video, beautiful country beautiful fish.
Great production, guys. This is very beautiful to watch while I am supposed to be working. BFS is so fun. Really, a cool flick that made me want to get out and fish. Damned job!
@thehookuptackle_usa I'm in a machine shop. Make aircraft parts. My machine was getting serviced so I "had a few mins" lol. Again, a really cool video!!
Wow, that's great one! Really nice film! From my personal experience the first time you fish for trout in mountain streams it's damn hard to comprehend. The other fresh water fishing just feels secondary afterwards.
Interesting to note that Masa does not waste time by swapping hand between casting and reeling in. Over a day, with lots of short casts, the extra time in full control of the lure is considerable.
Was fortunate enough to do this 40 years ago in Western Hokkaido just outside Niseko near Rankoshi. My wifes father used to take us to fishing spots up in mountains. Will always remember that, very tight fishing quarters. When we got home I threw a few hooks out with some salmon roe down a drain on the highway. Pulled 4 Trout out. A true wtf moment.
What the enthusiasts dream of! Such a lucky job, never forget that! What we would do to work for hookup! Bearbells are part of the japanese stream trout culture, love to see them embrace the small details of the culture!
Wow, great video. What a nice guy as well. I have been travelling to Japan for over 20 years, and many prefectures nearby, but not there, and never for fishing....so that now on my to do list. awesome fun. Cheers !
How beautiful the country and what beautiful fish!! Thank you for an outstanding video and taking us with you!! I love my P5 Cliffhanger BFS rod I purchased from you and am now looking at the Pop X for trebles and hopefully the new right hand Aldebaran BFS Casting Reel to pair with it!!
This makes me miss my fishing trips to Japan. Iwana translates to "fish of the rocks" and their eyes are positioned a little bit higher on their heads because it suits their ambush hunting strategies. Yamame ("lady of the mountains") have their eyes more on the sides of their head and like to hunt around the current seams. PS, spider webs across a Japanese mountain stream are gold dust...it means nobody recently walked and fished though that piece of water.

Amazing trip and video. What rod are you guys using? I see the Calcutta and Megabass reel but what are the rods specfically? The action on it looks amazing, thanks

Thank you my friend! 👊🍻
This video just proves that I need to go to Japan asap!
Funny to see how masa goes from being super quiet and shy at the beginning, to how high energy he is at the end after the 3 days. Nothing like a great fishing trip to bring strangers together 😂
Such an amazing experience! Excellent!
Please bring this to the U.S! @megabassamerica!
Bring us the assist style hooks your master used as well for your lures! ❤
This video was amazing! The filming and editing was excellent and the commentary was amazing aswell! All around an awesome vid
Absolutely phenomenal. Perfect adventure, well captured, and immaculate production for us to enjoy. Masa saying thank you to each fish during the release made my day. Thanks for all you guys do.

Amazing trip, and not just for the fishing! Love it!
Wow, wow, wow!!!! What an phenomenal, phenomenal video. Well done guys. Thank you for sharing this fishing adventure.
Thank you for joining us! 🍻
Wow. You even got my wife to watch a fishing video! This was my one of my all time favorites. So happy and jealous of the experience for you. Thanks
Beautiful and exciting video. Fishing and adventure in Japan, it is very exciting. As you mentioned, fishing is not just about catching big fish, it is about catching special fish, with history and in such beautiful places. And also with Megabass! Very top.
This took me back to my childhood fishing adventures
That was amazing. Such a wild and beautiful place thank you for taking us along
Cant argue that mountain stream fishing in Japan is the pureist form of BFS!
Now the lure designs/colors make perfect sense. Awesome video! What an experience!
Fun to see the colors come to life right? Thanks for watching man 🍻
Just wow you are truly blessed to have opportunity like that
The quality of this video is top tier!
Beautiful film! The nature, the culture, the fishing. Just wow! 🎣
Through your years of hard work, you have crafted a charmed fishing life for yourself. Magnificent. Thank you for this video.
Thank you for watching!
Best fishing video I have seen on UA-cam. Fascinating and beautiful. Well done and congrats!🙌
The cinematography is freaking amazing 😮. I love videos like this
I’d love to see more of these videos where you target species like this. I just finished the video and was ready for another video like it!
That really brought me back to all the little creeks I used to explore in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming. I never would have thought I’d miss catching small fish so much, but I do.
Crawling through the creek. Tight casting and tiny trout bet Geoff loved it 😂
He loves tiny fish
Excellent video and fishing adventure. Thanks for letting us view your trip. You can understand the fishing culture in Japan more by watching this documentary. Thanks to the Hooked Up Tackle.
You guys made me dream !
One of the best fishing video of all time and from far .
Everything about this video is just wonderful.
Even the sound of the bell in the back ground make everything come togeter !
Realy great one guys
Thank you so much for watching and enjoying man! 🍻👊
What an awesome video. Had me smiling the whole time. Beautiful scenery, and gorgeous fish.
Love love love these expeditions. Can’t wait for the next one.
Nice cherry trouts. Look forward to more of these types of videos. Thank you.
Awesome video boys, I can't wait to see the video when you guys host the Japanese master angler here in the states. The streams and creeks reminds of some fishing areas in northern Mexican Mountains of Monterey where i did most of my BFS fishing.
Great video. You know you're gonna get into some trout when you're doing some heavy bushwhacking!
Amazing. Thanks for bringing this to us.
thee best video you guys came out with. best documentary style.
This was a great watch.
😢 me ha hemocionado , que espectáculo habéis grabado!! Yo tb viajo por el mundo a pescar y estoy muy emocionado ahora mismo! Gracias amigos y buen regreso a casa 🫶🏼🎣.
Thank you for watching my friend 🍻
Loved it made me miss Japan even more.......
Thank you for watching!
Beautiful video guys
This is a bucket list trip for sure!
This is without a doubt beautifully shot and edited. Such amazing work. I can say so much about this video being really special. Great job guys. Beautiful video, beautiful country beautiful fish.
Thank you for coming along on the journey! 👊🍻
Quality and production was insane on this one guys!
👍👊🍻
Welp, my bucket list just grew a bit longer. Really amazing stuff guys
So glad to see I wasn’t the only person that thought this was an amazing video.
Thank you for watching man 👊🍻
Epic. Excellent video. Thanks!
That looked like so much fun.
Great production, guys. This is very beautiful to watch while I am supposed to be working. BFS is so fun. Really, a cool flick that made me want to get out and fish. Damned job!
Haha! Thank you for watching during office hours! 😜🍻
@thehookuptackle_usa
I'm in a machine shop. Make aircraft parts. My machine was getting serviced so I "had a few mins" lol.
Again, a really cool video!!
Amazing work, absolutely stunning!
Awesome adventure! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that's great one! Really nice film! From my personal experience the first time you fish for trout in mountain streams it's damn hard to comprehend. The other fresh water fishing just feels secondary afterwards.
There is certainly a life pulse that only stream fishing delivers 👍🍻
This was SO SICK!
So Awesome…! I am so jealous… lol 🤣
Wish I were there fishing The Japanese streams…. Perhaps for my bucket list.…
👍😎👌
Interesting to note that Masa does not waste time by swapping hand between casting and reeling in. Over a day, with lots of short casts, the extra time in full control of the lure is considerable.
Watching Geoff BFS fish was almost surreal. Talk about "out of your comfort zone" 😂😂😂
Haha! But it was a grind so he loved it 👊😜🍻
These bfs vids make me want to move back to Japan so bad. There is nothing like village life in Japan and Thailand.
So cool, great production
Amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Gonna start saying "Arrigato" everytime I release a fish caught on JDM baits now. 🙏🏽🐟
This is a good idea 👍
Was fortunate enough to do this 40 years ago in Western Hokkaido just outside Niseko near Rankoshi. My wifes father used to take us to fishing spots up in mountains. Will always remember that, very tight fishing quarters.

Such an epic video guys! Way sick
Thank you for watching man!!
It was a good video to enjoy❤
Amazing Video! Definitely have to try stream fishing in Japan!
Great video reminds me of fishing mountain streams in Pennsylvania for native brook trout would love to go to Japan
Wow, what a great trip. Those reels remind me of my old Shimano Calcutta Conquest 200 DC LH I don't use enough.
Those fish are beautiful
Awesome video guys, amazing country and beautiful fish. Love it
Thank you for watching!
Gorgeous, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!
Bougieness level 10. Love it 🎣 Great job guys. Now I’m wanting a dedicated bfs glass rod. If you could only choose one, glass, or graphite? 🤔
I’m pretty sold and all in on the Great Hunting Huntsman rods
Well alright. I know what I want for Christmas. Let’s hope they’ll be in stock soon 🤞
Beautiful!
Perfect video!
What the enthusiasts dream of! Such a lucky job, never forget that! What we would do to work for hookup!
Bearbells are part of the japanese stream trout culture, love to see them embrace the small details of the culture!
more of this please !!!!!
Well done guys! Beautifully shot and definitely some epic fishing! I was hoping to see a cameo by Jacob….
I can’t go one video without hearing about “Jacob”…
Wow, great video. What a nice guy as well. I have been travelling to Japan for over 20 years, and many prefectures nearby, but not there, and never for fishing....so that now on my to do list. awesome fun. Cheers !
I hope you visit and enjoy Akita some day soon!
That native char was also very nice!
How beautiful the country and what beautiful fish!! Thank you for an outstanding video and taking us with you!! I love my P5 Cliffhanger BFS rod I purchased from you and am now looking at the Pop X for trebles and hopefully the new right hand Aldebaran BFS Casting Reel to pair with it!!
Thank you for coming along with us! And thank you for your business!! I'm excited to see where the bait finesse journey takes you.
@@thehookuptackle_usaI also forgot to mention the background music was perfect!! Your brother does a great job!!
Create a JDM fishing documentary or series pleaseee 🙏🔥❤️
So good
I can see a lot of inspiration from WildFly films used here. Love It!
I don’t know what that is, but thank you for watching 🍻
Also, awesome video, the quality is amazing!!
Thank you for watching 🍻
Beautiful

to Japan it is the yamamei trout. To me in the US is the brook trout. small delicate beautiful fish.
Very nice guys! Which reel (the green one) does your fishing guide use to throw that Megabass GH46's? Thanks 😃
Hell yeah!!
Ya mama looks very fun to hunt
That’s an adventure to call home & tell ‘yo mommy’ about!
Cool video!
Literally scratching my head at 46k subs....
Absolutely beautiful. Ben....I mean Japan. 😁
We know what you really mean 😜🍻
I want some of that orion beer lol. Just scooped a k9 from you guys. Might have to snag a perch tk. Maybe sneak a orion in there for me 🤫 😂
it would definitely a dream to fish the japanese yamame trout
I was bouncing in my seat driving home. This was so sick.
Wow what a great video and beautiful fish. Thanks you guys
Thank you for joining us!
Amazing! Btw, do those tiny bells really get the bears away with their sound?
Well we didn’t see any, so I guess they worked 🤷🏼♂️
Beautiful fish! Do you guys stock those single hooks for the great hunting lures? I'd like to swap out the trebles for delayed harvest.
Yes. They’re made by VanFook
🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely fuckin epic! You guys always have great video content but this is one….god damn guys!!! Much respect!!
Hell yeah! 🙏👊🍻
Amazing trip and video. What rod are you guys using? I see the Calcutta and Megabass reel but what are the rods specfically? The action on it looks amazing, thanks
Megabass Great Hunting Huntsman rods
What length on the rods?
