Lake Trout Flathead Lake Montana Vanlife Fishing

A 30" Lake Trout is exactly the reward needed for pulling this boat 2,000 miles! The locals said the bite has been slow all summer. I'm glad I went out and tried anyway! 4 big Lake Trout later and the trip was all worth it!

The first couple videos of our vanbuild are up. You can see how Anthony took two panel vans and turned them into an awesome, off grid, gtfo machine/home on wheels.

Looks like you are fishing with 3 rods and you are only aloud 2

[@johnnycashh7148]

Pretty awesome.

[@anothersomebody8195]

Wow, those are all monsters! It's crazy they get so big!! The bull trout don't stand a chance

[@thebeardedvan6697]

Yeah they get much bigger then that. Smaller ones are better eating

[@lexistutzman113]

Hey! So happy you finally got to be able to fish and get something. Hope you have fun on the road. And thanks for shouting out my parents and not me. 😂

What lure are you using you never showed us?

[@chadthiem8371]

take all 20 man they are invasive. we have a tournament called mac days that go on in spring and fall to help deplete the numbers of lake trout

[@ryanhansberry5020]

Great video. What kind of boat is that? Looks like a decent setup for someone traveling a fair amount.

[@thebeardedvan6697]

It’s perfect for traveling! Light enough that it doesn’t add too much to the fuel expenses.

[@jerikasoule6022]

What lb test line are you using? What setup.

[@thebeardedvan6697]

12 lb fluorocarbon on a 7 ft medium heavy bass rod.

[@rockthomas1109]

[@thebeardedvan6697]

Thanks Rocky!

5:07 are you trolling?

[@Schaferhund1]

You can have 20 a day because lake trout are an invasive species.

[@shayashley4604]

100 fish per day cause they are invasive
