Screamin Drag Love it bro !!! What a fight woohoo !! Holy cow what Monster lake trout !!! Nice job my friend and Congrats on your first lake trout !!! Epic day even with the one loss !!!
Even if I only caught one fish, it would've been an epic day. Thanks Robert. 😀
Thats y you never use wide lens mode, otherwise it shortens visual size of the fish
Beautiful ! Excellent video.
Thanks Mike. I really appreciate you watching and commenting. Tight lines.
Awesome man. from Halibut to Trout always having a great time that is great. take care and best wishes for you
Thanks Ben. I like expolring different bodies of water. 😀
wow! tanker! i didn't know CA had such big macks. awesome stuff man!
Thanks Ish. I'm a big fan of yours.
Ish With Fish I dunno where he is maybe he said it and I missed it, but, regarding cali and Mackinaw fishing, Tahoe is one best mackinaw fisheries in world the lake is so look big and so deep its its own ocean and unique other reason it's so phenomenal is Tahoe has freshwater krill shrimp! Huge ocean like massive schools of krill big krill shrimp schools are huge acres and ACRES AND I've seen schools on my sonar the size of football Feild and 60-80 feet thick up and down but larger across and sideways then football fields and there was other schools 100 yards away same size, omg you have no idea how insane the amount of krill is jn tahoe, Tahoe is over 1600 feet deep a massive lake and there is unmatched amount of millions of crawdads in Tahoe basin and kokanee and rainbows and shiners and lots other stuff for mackinaw to est, but has huge mindblowing unimaginably large schools of jumbo freshwater krill shrimp and they make the Tahoe mackinaw biomass world class and the deep pristine ice cold water combine for the mackinaw I Tahoe to be the most delicious Mack lake trout in world, krill fed like ocean salmon they have rich pink mild delicious meat. Tahoe Mack fishery I best in world for table quality and flavor, and numbers. However even tho Tahoe has big macks 20-30 lbs, the avg is liken6-8 lbs, it doesn't have Tons of the 30 40+ lb fish that some lakes In Canada have, but, notnonly does t ahoes macks taste Better then macks anywhere else,but there's more quantity of them then any were else, it just doesn't quite give the fish as big as some other places. But for numbers and taste table fare, it's unrivaled and unbeatable. Near by to Tahoe is dinner lake a small hi sierra sister lake to Tahoe that also has epic Mack fishery but not the krill and no where near the numbers its small lake but deep and excellent Mack fisherýfor big macks, and bigger avg size then Tahoe ifnyou wanted a 20 lb Mack donner give you one quicker then tahoe. ANYWAYS, I digress. Lotta people don't realise Tahoe Is best mackinaw fishery in world right here in ca.
What a fight!! MooMoove out the way the yak MASTER is coming through!!👍💥 🐟
😂😂😂 thanks. I was got lucky.
Nice fishing buddy,awesome video
Thanks Marshall 👍👍
wow those things are hug ! looks like fun
It was a blast 👍😀👍
Awesome video! You made it look to easy. Congrats!
I was blessed 😁😁. Thanks.
Man those are monsters! Beautiful lake also
I was so stoked to catch them. Mountain lakes are exceptionally beautiful.
Great video man! Those were GIANTS!
Thanks. It was a blast.
At the 5 minuets mark that fish was huge!!! Cool video.
Ues it was. Thanks 😀
Sheshh, those were beasts! Those things get a lot bigger than I would've thought.
The ones that I caught isn't even a true monster. California state record is 36 lbs. Mine was only 15 lbs.
AWESOME! That looks like a ton of fun!
It was. No skunkset picture that day. 😁
absolutely not! I've never fished for those kind of fish... seems like it was awesome. looks beautiful too.
I just watched it again... LOL
Thanks. You should definitely give it a try. 👍👍
Wow! Amazing fish. I'd love to catch a lake trout. Stunning scenery you're fishing in too. I think I'll buy a kayak one day! They look such good fun. I've subbed!
Kayak fishing is a blast. They have kayaks that great for fly fishing too. 👍😀👍
What a day-big lake trout, very cool
Thanks
Wow that was a huge trout! 👍👍 Good stuff.
Thanks for watching 👍👍
Great work, Those things can fight.
I didn't know but they fight like freight train. 👍👍
Wow ! That was one great fighting fish.
Fresh water lingcod haha
Huge fish. Awesome channel you have here!
Thanks Luis 👍👍
great fight.. that fish is on my bucket list!
Such a great fight. Go get em!
Nice Kayak you are real fun to watch
Thanks buddy! 👍😀👍
Nice trout! I grew up trout fishing in Washington State.
Yeah Washing has great fisheries. I would love to fish there too.
this place is nice! gotta check it out one day. nice catch!
Quite the gem 😉
Awsome upload friend ✌
Thanks 😀
Awesome video man, great fish
Thanks Jim 😀
That was badass man those things fight hard
One of the best fight I've had on a kayak. 👍😀👍
Man, that looks like so much fun. Great video! Catching big fish like that with minimal gear is always the best fight!
Yes the fight was epic. 👍👍
Great fishing, Moo!
Thank Eric. I don't know what's going on but I replied to this 2 times already but not showing up. Anyhow, I wish to become an elite angler like you one day.
I replied to it twice as well... You're well on your way, man. Would love to fish with you this summer - come up for salmon at Shelter Cove.
If I get a few days in a roll off I'll head up there. Shelter Cove is a dream land to us in Bay Area.
Someone told me "lake trout' or "Mackinaw" are actually not trout at all, but Arctic Char. All I know--for sure, is they are one of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen, bar none.
I think you are right. They do taste kind of like in between trout and salmon though. Maybe that's how Char taste like.
Nice fish there! I need to add one of those to my list of fish to catch.
Yes you do 😀 Thanks for watching 👍😀👍
That’s was good action and fight with beautiful huge monster:) I need to go there, the scenery is beautiful:)
Yeah lakes up in the mountains are even more beautiful. 😁
wow~~ 저런 물고기들이 호수에 살고있다니 믿겨지질 않는군요. ^^ 정말 부러운 필드네요~ 엄청난 대물~부럽부럽!!
운이 좋아서 괴물을 두마리나 잡았습니다. ㅎㅎ
Wow nice Moo!!!
Bunch of nice ones!!!
Awesome fight video!!!
The fight was insane. 👍😀👍
MooMoo Outdoors were you using rockfish set up!? Yeah Looks like hella of fight!!!
MooMoo Outdoors wow nice 1 & 2oz! Were you using heavy leader!? I haven’t caught any of that size, so I need to learn!
30 and 40 lb main with 15 lb topshot was what I was using.
Whoa! Very nice!
Thanks 😀
I know that place!!!!!! I just don't remember, so old :( Nice vid, Tight lines youngen.
😂😂 I'm not exactly a youngen but I do not mind being called one 😆😆
@@MooMooOutdoors AHAAA. Figured out the location. Round of applause for the Old Man. Take care youngen.
Liked and subbed, awesome video!
Thanks. 👍👍
Awesome Lakers! They remind me a lot of lingcod.
They fought like lingcod as well. Diving down to the bottom.
Thats a hige lake trout for your first one. Congrats on your catch
Thanks Hans it was a BLAST
I don’t think I caught what lake you were on?
UVR
bro that's a freaking monster laker, awesomeness
Thank you Sir. 👍😀👍
What set up did you use? Lure? any recommendations? I'm going to bucks lake this weekend with my kayak , don't have a depth finder so I'll be going blind. hopefully find a shelf they are sitting on.
2 oz P-line Lazer Minnow and 5 inch pearl white swim bait with 1.5 oz jighead worked for me. Any rock fish jigging rod to medium heavy bass rod will do. I would recommend at least 15 lb line. I was using 40 braid with 15 lb flouro top shot.
Congratulations on 1000+
Thank you 👍👍
Awesome!
Thanks 👍👍
wow catch big fish
stay with us #NatureOfBD friend
Thanks
Monster catch!
Yes. Thanks. 👍👍
great 👍
Thanks 😀
Looks like Union Valley near West Point. Was just there. Sucks that they are turning it into a fee area. Been camping on that side for years. Killer Mackinaw! Nice work.
Yes you got it right. Is that mean they are going to have running water?
@@MooMooOutdoors Not sure but Vicini got the contract! They better have water if they are charging. I just hope they don´t make all the sites along that side pay to play.
I camped about 500 feet from the launch - no one was there. I had the whole damned lake to myself. Everyone thinks that it is closed to campers - it ain´t. Hit it again this year and bring your burn permit because, believe it or not, you can still have a fire!
You know, I"m right handed--so I use a "left hand" baitcast reel, that means I cast with my right arm, crank with my left, also pump the rod with my dominate arm. I see right handed people casting with their right arm--then switching the rod to their left hand, makes zero sense, to me.
You are right. I actually use both L and R hand baitcasting reels. I think reeling in with a dominant hand came from conventional reels where you use the dominant hand to crank in fish.
Always reel left handed. Rod in dominant right hand for casting fly rods and holding powerful fish. Reeling with left or stripping line
I completely agree. Its really important for solo fishing too. If you have ever had to net a Salmon solo.... then it just makes sense lol.
Went to Lake Tahoe today for macks, but skunk. Nothing on fish finder; 100ft, 200ft, and 500ft. Couldn't find any drop off. Went fromTahoe City to Tahoe Pines. I gave up. How deep did you find those macks? And how do they look like on Fish Finder. Thanks
That's too bad. I've never fish Tahoe for Macks but my buddy does pretty good there. I was fishing 70-100 fow in this lake and they show as bigger arches on the just off the bottom for me.
great work brudda!
Thanks 😀
Is this spicer reservoir??
No UVR
THAT'S HUGE!!! I wonder if I'M ever gonna fight one of these ;)
Maybe you will 😉
Damn where was the NCKA hkup post haha. Think I'm gonna go do this next week, want to go again haha?
Im thinking of going back on Friday. Join me if you can. 😀
MooMoo Outdoors i wish. Currently only have monday/tuesdays off however. Hopefully you can find a nice upgrade! Although it would be hard to beat the few you got recently.
what a giant!!!!!
Yes it was and I'm still stoked about it.
What lake are you on?
Union Valley. Good luck.
Huge fish. Your going to need a bigger boat or maybe just a bigger net :)
If the fish gets any bigger, I'll need a bigger net. 😁
What lake is this?
Union Valley
Got my heart racing! Waiting for the sun to cone up, then its my turn.
Go get em! 👍👍
Landed 2, lost one. Appreciate the info and videos.
DUDE>>> 998!!! Somebody give this guy some SUBS
You let those lakers go to respawn?
I kept one to try but it wasn't very good.
@@MooMooOutdoors The word gruel works best.
What lake is that? And how deep is the fish? I plan to go Lake Tahoe, but it's kind of far.
Tahoe is a great place for macks. Unfortunately, this is my buddy's honey hole and promised him I won't reveal what lake. Thanks for watching ☺
Where is this at?
UVR
What time of year were you fishing?I’ve always want to try Mackinaw fishing but never have
This was in June.
Is this union reservoir? I live less than an hour from that lake.
Yes it is!
@@MooMooOutdoors Nice, I'm waitin' for the weather to get cooler, then goin! Hell, it's only about an hour from my house!
@@MooMooOutdoorsthink you’d have success catching big trout like this just from land?
@@Candybuiltsi I'm going to have to say it's going to be very tough since they are in deeper water. I don't think you can cast that far out.
Hey moo! I met you at timbercove at ncka meet up. How are you going for the lake trout? What are you jigging?
Hey Nathan, I was using 2 oz P-line Lazer Minnow and 5 inch swimbait with 1.5 oz jig head. Fishing it just like you are jigging it for a lingcod at 60-100 FOW.
Woohoo! Way to go Moo!
Thanks 😁
If this was your first attempt at a mack, it looks like your friend gave you some good tips. Those fish reach up to 40lbs. My average is 2-5lb's .Did you have any trouble releasing them? they bloat up when they come up from the Deep at this time of year.
No trouble releasing them. Maybe because I didn't catch them from deep water.
That makes sense summer time and late spring is crowded as all hell there.. & the lake was almost empty!
Awesome fishing! Just curious about the type of lure you used as I always used Rapalas there.
I was bottom jigging with 5 inch paddletail swimbait with 1.5 oz jig head and 2 oz p-line lazer minnow.
MooMoo, thanks!
I’m going trout fishing in Pillsbury soon I was hoping you could give me some advice
Love the vids
Thanks. I never fished Pillsbury. Are you fishing from a boat or from the shore? When I"m fishing for trout from the shore, I like using garlic scent powerbait. When I'm fishing from a boat/kayak, I like to troll for them with spoons or Rapala trout lures. Good luck.
Thanks for tips I’ll do that
Looks like so much fun! What # test leader we’re you using?
I was using 15 lb leader
Boy, you make it hard not to own a kayak. I always wanted a Mack, have trolled for them in the past, but got skunked. Swimbaits are a game changer!
I highly recommend kayak fishing. They are a different game and very fun.
Hey moo, what kind of rig are you using and are you jigging? Sorry if that’s supposed to be secret too.
Of course not. I just jigging 2 oz p-line lazer minnow and paddle tail swimbait with 1.5 oz jig head.
Hey brotha I'm gonna be up there this weekend any tips depths etc.that would help. Thx
This is third time trying to reply
For some reason it keeps disappearing.
I was getting them at 70-100 feet of water.
nice videos! just subbed to your channel :)
Thanks 👍👍
no problem! check out my channel and sub back if u feel like it :)
done
Which lake and did you keep any for dinner? What depth were you marking them at?
Lake is a secret 😉. Yes kept one and it was delicious. 👍😀👍
Depth?
60-100 fow at the bottom.
Gary Myers union valley reservoir
Spot burners... be careful moo
Are you keeping those? did not see any release?
Kept one. Had to try it out and it was delicious. 😉
I still have not tried one, my dad gets mad every time! he has never had one. I may have to try keeping a smaller one soon. Lovin the Vid
They taste somewhere between trout and salmon. Very good eating!😀
Wooooo! Man you got a couple big boys. Congrats bro! Suck you lost some to but part of the game I reckon. Take care!
Thanks. Even if I only got one giant I would've been stoke about it. 👍😀👍
What Type of line were you using?
40 lb braid for main and top shotting 15 lb fluro. Thanks for watching 😀
Hey moo which reel are you using in this video
It was an old shimano size 200 reel that was gifted by a friend. Sorry don't know the model since I don't have it anymore. It stopped working.
Great Job!
What lake was it and what time of year?
The time was mid June and sorry I can't reveal the location because it's my buddy's honey hole. Thanks for watching ☺
No worries. I’m just a beginner and have only been on my kayak 3 times. I don’t have your kind of gear anyway, but I really love the time spent on a lake. It just looked like a nice peaceful and safe place for me to practice on. Do you have any suggestions for good fishing lakes around Tahoe?
I'm not familiar with Tahoe area but I hear Echo lake and Silver lake are good for trout fishing. Lake Tahoe is good for Mackinaw but you should really watch the weather. It can get nasty quick with high wind waves.
What lake is this if you don’t mind me asking
I don't mind but I cannot reveal. It's my buddy's honey hole and I need to learn more of his honey holes. 😉
Hi, brother! What is the name of this lake? The scenery is so nice.
UVR
What setup do you use to catch mackinaw
You can use light rockfish jigging rod or any rod that can handle 2 oz weight jigging.
what bait you using?
5 in paddle tail with 1 oz jig head and 2 oz p-line lazer minnow
This is union valley reservoir right?
Yes 😊
Wow what lake is this
Sorry I can't reveal. It's my buddy's honey hole and I don't want to lose friendship 😉
MooMoo Outdoors no problem bro I was just asking it looked like a spot in Lake Tahoe
My other buddies go to Tahoe for Macs and they do pretty good.
