As a fellow michigan fisherman, i appreciate how you handle your fish, Thanks for the video.
No problem. Thanks
That 6 minute mark fish is one of the prettiest browns I've seen. Caught one 3ywars ago that was hot pink. Instead of brown. Was unreal. I love trout.
Yes beautiful fish
Thanks for being a fine sportsman. We need more of you.
I grew up on the ausable, north of Grayling and I only use gold mepps, black and gold panther Martin or night crawlers
Nice. All great baits for browns and brookies
I’m from Wisconsin and generally fish our driftless streams. You guys have some really fun looking streams on the Michigan side. Thanks for sharing.
Cool man. Itd be fun to fish over there sometime
Also from MI and I recently started targeting creek trout. So far just a handful of small browns but they are fun to catch. Thanks for the information and tight lines.
Yes they are!
Where do you fish?
Great Video! This is quickly becoming my favorite way to fish. I can't wait to see more!
Hard to beat. Great scenery and the fish are stunning!
Thanks brother. I enjoyed this video. I look forward to your deer hunting adventures this year too.
Another great fishing video. Thank you for showing us. Glad you're over 1k subscribers now.
Thanks!
Great video. I never targeted brown trout myself but ran into some of them while fishing for steelies in winter time on Manistee and Muskegon. Tight lines!
Great video, You are one a few that really handles fish properly.
I am no expert on the subject believe me. But a good net really helps
All these are great fish. “That’s why you get up at four o’clock”. It’s so awesome when we do get rewarded for our efforts and us Michiganders don’t have any excuses; some great fishing is just a couple tanks of gas and a trip up 75 or less away
Wow, it was a great fishing. Besides the fishes you displayed here, the detail baits shown were more useful... Thanks
Great video, man's so confident he doesn't even use drag
True that!
Awesome video man those browns are amazing
Nice fish , Love the stream your on !!!!!
Thanks man!
beauty browns!.....great fish handling!
Thank you
Awesome fish man that was a great day on the river for sure.
Yes it was
Beautiful Fish! Good Job Mister!
Thank you
At 8:51 that has to be some of the best footage of a big brown I’ve ever seen, and couldn’t have done a better job on handling the fish!
Agreed. Just watching them swim in the current in their natural environment like that is really cool.
I'm ready for trout opener , those are some beautiful fish .
Same here!
Awesome video, thank you for sharing. 🔥💪
Absolutely
Some exceptional brownies bro. I lived in roscommon for a few years and used too slam brownies like that on the ausable.
Great video man! 🎣
Awesome day in a Michigan creek! Some beautiful browns and a bonus like! Nice job man! New viewer and new subscriber! Keep hammering fellow Michigander!
Thanks man!
awesome, some nice fish
Thank you
Great job man what an awesome day!
Was a great morning. Still need to get down that way and go after some kings!
@@CrouseOutdoors plan to get out a couple more times hopefully! Then I’m planning a few trips north to get them vertical jigging!
That was an awesome session pal & some beautiful brownies 💯👍🏼
I’m waiting on some rain myself before I can get out over here in Scotland 🏴 Tight lines ✌🏼💙👍🏼🏴
Get any rain yet?
@@CrouseOutdoors not yet but it’s meant to be this week the water in my local river is far too low and it has been hotter than usual so I don’t want to harm any fish 🤷🏼♂️👍🏼🏴
I use the same brook trout rapala #7 but the sinking version, caught a 22 1/2 inch brown in a creek here in driftless region Wisconsin
Nice catch and release
Thanks
I'm in upper michigan and Ive never been able to catch a brown, lots of smaller brook trout but a brown is definitely a bucket list fish for me
Are you in the UP, or Northern LP? Either way, here are the names of river watersheds that I would think of to find browns in upper Michigan: Paint, Fence, Sturgeon, Yellow Dog, Ontonagon, Otter, Rock, Escanaba, Fox, Au Train, Manistique, Pigeon, Black, Betsie, Platte, Jordan, Manistee, Au Sable, Rifle, Big Sable, Muskegon, Pere Marquette, Little Manistee, Little Muskegon, or the good old Rogue. Most tributaries to these rivers should hold browns as well. Hope this helps!
@@aaronhoyes1781 I'm in the UP, the escanaba is where I catch all my brookies. Love that river. I'll have to try some of those, thanks!
Wow.....just wow.
I know! What a great state we have!
Stunner man
Thank you. She was a beaut
Interesting I have never caught trout with a spinning rig. Always used a fly pole. Cool video nice fish.
Thanks give it a try sometime
I’m a new fisher and live in Michigan and I’m learning alot
Good!
If you don’t mind me asking, what river/creek are you on? I’m just starting out trout and fly fishing and would love to give this area a try.
So I’m in SW Michigan area. I love watching your videos. I’m struggling finding places to fish. Just getting in to trout. Any suggestions?
Have you watched my video on how to select a river?
There are several great rivers on your side of the state including the Manistee and the Pere Marquette. Employ these techniques and tactics There and you will achieve success. Anywhere in the big wash pool below the dam and Anywhere in between. Tight lines!
The DNR website has stocking reports that show the history of fish stocked in each body of water , it's a good starting point . Don't overlook small streams . Find a guy that will take u under his wing
Great fishing. You call that “marginal waters”?? If only I had such a stream nearby! I have to drive hours to get anywhere close to a stream like that one!
I’m going up to Marquette next week for school I need to try this lol
Do it! Heading to the UP today as a matter of fact!
@@CrouseOutdoors what river is this at.
@@iancameron198 🤐
I am super impressed with the size of the browns you catch man! I know you fish all over but do you live in southern MI? I am south of Lansing
if you dont mind me asking what river is that
Hello friend! I’m from Northwest Indiana, and we have our similar fishing as well! I’ve caught Steelhead trout & a Coho Salmon so far, but no King Salmon nor Brown Trout yet! Still on the bucket list.
Good luck!
Good stuff brother I'm new to channel and trout fishing. What about small maps spinners little cheaper money tight these days?
good video.
I have a Question for you, I see houses in the back ground was that public water? I know different states have different rules for fishing rivers and streams as to access on them. If it's private land that it flows through in MICH is it private or do they reg it as High Water Mark like some states so you can get access to fish it ? I don't know much about the laws back there and will be moving there in the spring time.
If it is a designated trout stream once you have an access point you can fish as far up or down from that point as you want. You just have to stay within the banks of the river. You need an access point though. That could be public land or you could ask permission from land owners to access the water. That's the best way I can explain it. It is a confusing topic with a lot of grey areas. I need to make a video explaining it to the best of my understanding sometime.
@@CrouseOutdoors Thanks for the info and Yes Please make a video on it it would be of Great help. I know say Texas and a few other States if it is Navigable Water you can fish it as long as you are in the High Water Marks or River Bank.
I jus go ask them and offer em a few fish or 20$$$
Where in Michigan is this.
I always pinch the barbs when fishing treble hooks. Do you find treble hooks tend to tear the fish up?
Yeah they do cause some carnage
@@CrouseOutdoors crimping barbs and even going to single hooks will help lessen mortality rates of the big dudes!
what river is this that you were fishing in
Any good fishing up in iron river Michigan ?
Wow bro, I love in Michigan what creek is this?
Do you spool your whole reel with 8 pound? 40 size is allot to fill. Do fish a forty for line management reasons?
I run about the last 150 feet of floro. I have behind behind it
What lure were you using when you caught the big brown?
That was a rapala cd 7
Iam from Shelby township mi can someone tell me where is the closest spot for trout fishing 🎣 I would appreciate it I never got one
Ever have any luck with spinner? What ones if so?
had good luck with panther martin #4s and blue fox #3
Browns > Rainbows
Love those big brown trout!
pike taste so good cant lie
Yes they do
Which river/stream is this?
I'm from Virginia and was wondering if there were any local guides in that area that would take me to some of these creeks to brown trout fish. Most places it's only flyrods
Lots of guides for spin fishing. Check out dream drift guide service
@@CrouseOutdoors I appreciate the feed back I will check them ouy
I'm a Michigan fisherman as well, what river is this?
😂😂😂😂
Trying to get browns like this in idaho
Any luck?
Wgeres rhis out? Im in MI too
Where can i find this spot
Where was this stream at?
This stream is in the lower peninsula. That's about as specific as I'll be online
You should bring that trout at 8:50 to the taxidermist
Lol I am a taxidermist
Have you considered putting some length markers on your rods? Would've love to have known the length of that largest brown!
So I actually put it up to my rod to get an idea. It was 22.5" roughly. Typically I carry a bump board and 2 tapes.
I'm In mid michigan Mt. Morris area I wonde rifle anyone can give me tips for the waters in that area ?
I’m looking for the same tips lol
Not trying to be a spot stealer but where is this in Michigan?
Crouse what's the name of the River man?
I never say. Don't want to put extra fishing pressure on these small creeks
@@CrouseOutdoors Makes sense ! I'm in Grandrapids currently but am missing the small creeks I'm the U.P. pretty bad. Those where some Beasty Browns man... lol
what creek in mi is this?
🤐
I don't care what anyone says about the different temperament of rainbow and brown trout. I think brown trouts are way more powerful and aggressive than their cousin rainbow.
I agree 100%
location?
Great video. But actually show your catch to the camera lol
Couldn't agree more. That's why I baught another camera. Check out my last video.
So big big trout only thing make it cooler if it was fly
Nah The fly is deadlier than any known method if it is the hands of a fly fishing expert. What do you think if a fisher said he could catch salmon and sea tout with a completely bare hook...... Not silver either and it matters not about the colour so long as the hook behaves to give the predator 'the illusion of life' and also if the 'lure' (bare hook ) is seen by the fish as if escaping. The fisher must have had the experience of getting the fish to take a bare hook from his /her individual experience...... Once the knack is mastered ,never forgotten.
You are an excellent spinner or rather plugger...... If you don't fly fish ( said by the snobs to be a more sporting way of fishing ) (which is the most pure toffee nosed idea of all time) you would make an excellent fly fisher..... You may already fly fish & if you do then I apologise.
Spinning as said by the purists ( fly Fishers ) is not as sporting as how 'they' do it..... utter crap. To be a good spinner takes a great amount of skill. A spinner is a more skilled all-round fisher than many a fly fisher because he knows about that important dimension which is, the depth of water.
Thanks sir. I have not flyfished. Just haven't had time to try it yet
That Shit should be illegal and it might be good god that’s insane. 6 hooks you rocking to bring that fish in. Way to go man. You act all gentle and thoughtful then proceed to tie up an atomic bomb lure that rips apart the fishes face. You don’t need 6 hooks dude. Fly fisherman are catching those same fish using one size 16
Cool story
@@CrouseOutdoors Dude, your releases are clean, and you don't over-play them. Chuck all that noise from Bryan. Can't wait for some new trout videos. I'm sure this year is going to be interesting with the weird winter we had here in Michigan.
His methods are perfectly legal and (aside from all the treble hooks that really could be replaced with singles to reduce damage to the fish) his handling and releases of his fish are cleaner than those of many a fly fisherman I've seen (and I say that as a 25+ year Michigan fly fisher myself). Secondly, any fly fisherman that gets a brown like the ones in this video on a #16 fly needs to be buying a lottery ticket because he's having the luckiest day of his life. You might be able to pull that trick once a year during a blizzard mayfly hatch, but those browns will eat those plugs every day of the week and twice on Sunday. 🙂
