- Catching a 24+ inch trout is no easy task, especially a 24+ inch wild trout. So when my brother sent me the message saying he had caught a gigantic 24+ inch wild brown trout I was shocked and happy. I hope you guys enjoy this awesome video. Don't forget to share it with your friends and family!

Sick vid! Amazing fish. Congrats!
Fish Hawk thanks man!!
Definitely got into the 20" range on the last fish. When hey get to 26" they have features that you don't need accurate video to recognize.
Excellent fish care I like that. No choking to death measuring b.s. I remember one fish that I caught a few times,last time he was 29" in the net.
So impressed with your streamer fishing skills. But even more impressed with how you handle the fish and release them all. It puts a smile on my son's face every time he sees those big ones swim away.
Tj Mckenzie thank you so much!! I’m glad you and your son like the videos.
Bright future in your local streams.. Having those Big Wild Browns there.
3 Great fish...
Keep up the Great Work..
Frankie Shoenfelt thanks for the support man. And I’m glad you liked the vid!
Wow! Nice catch!
I am 13 and I love freshwater fishing too!
I have never caught a brown trout that big, but I have caught sea trouts about that size or bigger.
Here in Norway there are many lakes that has giant trouts, but I have never got the chance to fish there.
Now it's breeding season for trouts and it's easier to catch them when they are in rivers.
Usually when I catch a trout or pike I eat it, but if the fish is small, I let it go.
I love your videos!
Btw I subscribed
Awesome!! Thanks for the sub! And I'm glad you like the videos.
Im from norway aswell, where are you from? i am living i Hjelmeland (Outside Stavanger)
@@emiliskrasikovas134 I am from Tysnes
You know it’s good when it has you saying “awh ma gaw”
Hell yes brother. Tight lines 🤘🏽
I always love seeing you guys catch some monster browns. I'm hopefully going to be moving to Virginia in the spring, and these videos always make me so excited to fish that area
SkelatorStudios good luck man!! I’m glad the videos inspire you to fish. Hopefully you’ll get on some good trout
Привет из России! Я тоже снимаю видео про рыбалку!
Hello from Russia! I’m also shooting a fishing video!
Makes me chuckle when the east side of the country talks about drought. We’ll be lucky to get any rain at all for months at a time in Utah! It might rain once from June to September
You need to get a tape to measure your fish. I have the same net and its 20" long ways. It's a very nice 18" brown. No way its 26". Out here in Montana it's hard to fit a 20+ fish in a net that size. The big boys over 22" are too heavy to lift into a net even with a 6 weight rod when you're alone. You have to beach them or tail them like steelhead. A 2 foot pig will run 60 feet in a second or two. Your fish didn't even run 20 feet. He should have been able to run under the log easy if he was 26" . Good fish for a small creek though. I have enjoyed your other videos.
I don't normally respond to people telling us our fish aren't very large but since you attempted to use a decent argument I'll give you an answer. First of all the net is a pig series net by catch cam nets (just so you can look it up) and the dimensions of the net are 16" by 22". So it can (with ease) hold trout into the 30 inch range (been tested on the white river in Arkansas). Second of all my brother is using a 7 wt rod in this video and has plenty of trouble dealing with the fish. Another thing to remember is when you hook a big fish in a small creek it has no where to run so they (in my experience) attempt to dog you under trees/under cut banks. I have fished out west a few times and I know most of the places you catch 2 foot long trout is large rivers with swift current where the fish are crazy strong. These fish just aren't like that. Having said all of this I'm glad you have enjoyed the videos. My biggest regret was not leaving the measurement of the 26 inch fish in the video. LESSON LEARNED. Tight lines.
Beautiful fish!
I'm in western north Carolina and where I'm at has been the wettest year I can remember rain almost everyday hope y'all get some rain it's been a great season for me hear 4 trout over 20inchs
You are my favorite East coast fly fisherman hardman! Keep it up. Mad respect.
Hyrum Peterson thank you! It means a lot.
Incredible video !!!! Awesome trout my friends ! I’m in Morgantown as we speak! Great to be home in West Virginia! Tight lines everyone
Upstate Angling yeah I’ve seen you’ve been hunting! Welcome back my man. And thanks for watching the vid as always!
Nice Brownies Bros! I have to go to the West branch of the Delaware River to get 18" plus fish!
Nice catches there. Awesome streamer you tied up.
Thanks man!! Glad you liked the video
Nice trout, has it lived in that river all the time or did he visit sea/lake? Fishing for sea trout from a river is definitely very difficult and fun. This summer i managed to hook 8 trouts. First 7 of them were all 24-33 inches long and i lost all of them. The 8th fish i managed to net and it was the smallest, 24 inch but still my record fish. The bigger fish can be extremely hard to control, they actually do whatever they want. One fish did over 20 jumps in less than 10 minutes and he wasnt even slighly tired when he came off. He was about 27 inches long, water temp was 78. I thought trouts die in that temp but no. Even atlantic salmon wont give me the same kick and adrenaline rush that these sea trouts do.
SageHide no man these fish aren’t connected to any lake or ocean. That’s what makes a fish this size so special. Thanks for watching!
22 inch beautiful fish
great spot bro, what kind of fish is there bro? greetings fishing. hopefully get lots of fish.
Just passing through watching for any trout fishing. Very nice browns in that water for sure and beat my PB a mile, but I don't mind because I just love folks being outdoors and catching trout. All the best.
zumalot couldn’t agree more man! I love fishing regardless of what size of fish I catch. Thanks for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the vid.
Seems like you guys have some nice browns out east! Hope the drought situation improves. Tight lines!
Opportunity Fishing it’s slightly improving by the day! And I’m glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching
Nice pig! Interesting water color..
Pwrcritter thanks man!! And I know, but it’s good for brown trout
Not one of those browns was even close to 26" the biggest he got was maybe 22" needs to get an official tape these "hero shot" googan fly fishing bros need to stop lieing!
Years ago as I was getting my Walleye skills honed we had some serious flooding in New Jersey and given the size of the rivers and canals I had every reason to believe my haunts had been demolished. To my surprise the WALLEYE made it through the flooding. It was very close to the lower reaches of the Delaware and Raritan River system. I was absolutely FLOORED. Bound Brook New Jersey was almost a complete loss. I’ve also heard rumors of Sea Run Browns in the area but you might as well be asking for directions to the Lost Dutchman mine. I can’t get the locals to choke up some information on them. I’m CAR = Catch and release for decades. I recently modded myself two BFS rigs (4lb test) and I can’t wait to test them out.
You guys do great 👍🏻.
I'm glad you liked it man!! And good luck on the brown trout hunt
Hardman Fishing Adventures , SEA RUN BROWNS.
Out here in the Mountain West, creek browns that size would be heroic! Nice fish.
Thank you!!
Nice fish! I've been slaying the pre spawners in the high Sierra Nevadas
Thanks man! and that's awesome!
Great intro and start. Wonderful video. Be thankful you haven't seen this drought first hand. It is sad man! I can't see how a successful spawn occurs for small stream fish. Thanks for sharing video and keep grinding. Editing is on FIRE!
Tight Lining MD I know man the pictures are scary. Just glad it’s finally raining at least a little bit. Thanks for watching man!!
Lol..I fish all over SWPa and N WV. It looks like a very familiar spot...I don't tell anyone where I fish either..
MHM822 yeah it’s just better that way. Especially in public comments. I know people creep through these comments hoping to find any info at all. If anybody gives away too much info the comments get deleted. Thanks for watching!!
First!!! Lol can’t wait to see you catch this absolute tank!!! Great video once again man!!!! So far it’s great hahaha didn’t get to the big brown part yet but gtg to the football game 😂😂😂🎣🎣🎣 lmao I just uploaded a new vid as well and broke off on a giant trout 😭😭😭 set the hook wayyyyyy to hard 😂😂😂😂😂😂 tight lines my man, and can’t wait to watch the rest of this vid later!!!🎣🎣🎣
Osny Fishing Adventures thanks man! Don’t miss the big brown part tho, definitely worth the watch! Keep up the good work yourself. Tight lines.
Hardman Fishing Adventures just watched it now holly s**t that was an absolute tank man!!! Congrats to your bro on catching that massive brown!!! Tight lines, and look forward to watching the next one!!!💯🎣🐟👍
Osny Fishing Adventures thanks man!!
Congrats man. Beautiful Brownie!!! I'm still hunting for one that size here in NY. Lol
I love to use maxcatch flies, it made in many countries, made up of much good material like Golden pheasant head
Albertine Davis I’ll check them out, thanks for watching!
Great wild browns your brother caught outta that tiny Crick, just like my favorite size water.
Area looks very familiar. If it's where I'm thinking it's about an hour and half from me. They are a nice small stream here with wild rainbows. Not alot of big ones but tons of small one. Over 20 year span I have been able to catch 1 8lb and serval 4-6lb trout. Should come check it out sometime.
Tommy Eudy are the wild rainbow streams near you or near this creek? If they’re near this creek then I have fished them and love them. If they’re near you then I have no idea what you’re talking about haha but thanks for watching the video!
I like your choice of flys.
DAVID WING thank you! A lot of trial and error went into figuring out what flies work best for our area
I'm sure you don't want to give up the exact location but can you tell me where you are generally speaking? State, region?
Have a great weekend my friend
Great starting riff.....
major bonus points for that dungeon
Thanks man!!
Just caught a 22 inch wild Rainbow Trout on the fly. I know he had to feel accomplished
Congrats man!! That's an accomplish for sure.
Hardman Fishing Adventures Thank you!
Amazing! So how do those trout get so big in that little stream? What the heck are they eating to get that large?
Charlie Rahner well at least some of them eat other trout haha and it’s just a stream with a high amount of bug life! Thanks for watching man!
Mice,voles,shrews sculpins, other trout,darters,chubs,shiners,crawfish, You'd be surprised there's Lots of bait fish species and lots of mice(voles and shrews etc breed like crazy.).My local that size has has over 20 types bait fish.. lots of different species of minnow, shiner, darter , sculpin etc there entire families
Michael Phillips you are correct! A lot of people don’t realize the amount of food fish have.
other trout
scumbags chance very true. The fish here actually have basic water and plenty of bug life. But once they hit around the 18 inch mark they become almost exclusively meat eaters. We don’t have seasons in this area however.
Nice brown. They get even bigger in certain body of waters. He is big for that creek. Congrats
We've seen bigger fish for sure! But for the size of water its hard to argue with a 26 inch brown. Thanks for watching!
Great release man !!!
ADRIAN MALLARD thanks!!
I've just started creek fishing for wild browns recently and have a few questions for you. First of all how do you know which creeks have brownies in them? Just fish them and see? Second, what are characteristics you look for in a creek that let you know there could be brown trout living in them? Third, What state are you in? I'm in northern Pennsylvania and I creek fish for for pike often and never hook into any brown trout but i know they are around i just don't know what creeks to try. And last what would be a "search bait" you would reccomend to try and locate some? Any help would be great!
Yep I learn what creeks have browns by hours and hours of searching or some generous people. For trout you need cold, oxygenated water with good flow and cover. I fish mostly in WV but I know for a fact PA has some outstanding brown trout fishing. A search bait for spinning rod would be either a spinner or jerk bait, if you're talking fly rod then I would go with something like a wooly bugger. Hope this helps!
@@hardmanfishing Sure does! Thanks
Will someone out there tweezer a scale on a large trout,magnify it count the rings to determine the age of the trout I do this with all large trout 24''-40'' browns most always 13 years old
That's a new one to me. Thanks for the tip
Sharks in that water!!
TheUSAforever1 Brown mountain sharks
Great trout! What length fly rod do you guys streamer fish these small streams with?
And the Lord God Almighty granted everything with Rain 🙏🙌
Congratulations 🎉 on your PB 👏
All good things come from the Lord, praise him!!
Isaac Brascoupé I’m sure he’ll break it again soon! Thanks for watching!
There is a terrible drought in all of the south western states. I live in northern New Mexico and the river that runs through the town dried up and all the rainbows died. The only place I can fish in the river is upstream, and even then it's not fun because the fish can easily see you in the low water conditions. The only time it is nice is during the spring when all of the snow water comes down from Colorado. But in the summer it is dried up to mud.
That's unfortunate!! We deal with some drought in the fall but it usually isn't that bad. This year we have been blessed with a good amount of rain. I hope the fishing gets better for you! Tight lines and thanks for watching!
3 studs. Nice job Andrew
Gabe Briggs he’s killin the game. Glad you liked the vid man!
26"?
nothin like some fall spawners
Fall fishing at it's finest! Although these fish aren't quite spawning yet.
The gentleman that owns that house used to feed those fish in that run bread every evening. Was awesome to watch back in the day.
Nathan Rees yeah I’ve talked to the him before. He’s a great guy! I don’t think he feeds them anymore though. At least I’ve never seen it. I could be wrong though
Quite a few bread holes in that area
@@ericharvey3698 Really? So they're not too far off from hatchery trout? Born in the stream, but had their growth enhanced by humans?
I wouldn't necessarily say they are equivalent to stocked trout as most of the fish in those streams rely on natural food and got started on natural food but there are some fish that live in those holes nearly all the time that have grown big on people feeding them. A few of them are caught quite regularly I'm pretty sure the second one in the video has been caught a few times by different people that I've seen. The stream could definitely support big trout without people feeding them as it has a 'unique' source of fertilizer for the bugs/forage so to say and plenty of cold water that has a good ph but when fish are getting fed they will usually stay in the same spot for an easy meal, can't blame them really.
It's kind of funny I know people who have picked foam off an old couch in the creek and caught fish out of that hole with it...lol
Where was the fish caught...?..good fish, brown trout none the less, excellent.
Paul Kennedy North Carolina
I dream of such streams, incredible
Wild trout are very powerful.
I enjoyed this fishing video.
쌍포TV thank you!! Glad you liked it!
Just got a brown like that today and a rainbow a little bigger right in downtown Denver
That’s awesome! Congrats!
Great job on release it means the most will fallow
Y'all make it look too easy...looks like you know where to go when the water bumps up. Andrew that streamer is looking nice! I'd fish it and the browns clearly wanna eat it
Greg M. Yeah we’ve got it figured out. And Andrew’s streamer tying skills are definitely improving. Thanks for watching as always man!
That's a great result sir, well landed it could so easy have went bad. 👍
Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed
Really nice catches. Im jealous.
Thank you!
Boy move to NC, raining here every day.
Why is it me feels.like this is a outlet from a hatchery to the bigger streams? Lol feels like they let out the big ones and you were there at the right time.
It’s amazing how the GoPro or camera doesn’t do that fish justice that’s a monster browny a few weeks ago had a steelhead sized browny fought it for 7 minutes and hook popped
Just wondering if u don’t mind me asking what state is this in bc I fly fish all over pa and nj for wild trout
Was hoping to see a 26” fish here. Saw several over 20, but none even close to 26. Live 15 miles from norfork, and guide white and norfork. Stop misleading people for likes. It’ll only hurt you in the end. ✌️
Looks like a fall day. Spawner?
nice trout, Nice video..I think I saw that stream in another video from some guys in W.V. I don't know the name of the stream but wondering if that is the stream where peoples sewage pipes drain right into the creek? Keep up the good work
Very nice trout !!
common man's fly fishing thank you! And thanks for watching!
Trout drought? No doubt.... but don't pout, we'll figure it out.
GREAT FISH!!! What a killer trout!!! My only question is, why was the trout so casual about being caught? It almost looks like he was half asleep. Especially for a "wild trout." I mean, sure, a hatchery or stocked trout might not have such an inate instinct for surviaval, but you would think a TANK like that would be going nuts at being hooked and reeled in. Just the same, SWEET catch!!!
Those bigger trout sometimes just don't go crazy, they just pull really hard and go for cover. I guess it depends on the fish. Thanks for watching though man! Glad you liked the video.
A lot of the browns in the same creek I've caught barely fight they usually just kind of roll around sometimes right to you. The rainbows fight great though and I have caught a couple big browns that did fight good. It's almost to easy I've actually lost a really nice brown there because it rolled right to my buddy and when he netted it the fish had a ton of energy all of a sudden and flopped right out of his net.
Eric Harvey yeah you’ve got to watch them. Any fish you catch anywhere is annoying to deal with if they haven’t expended their energy before they hit the net.
What weight of fly rod is a great trout rod
5 wt is a great all around fly rod. If you're brookie fishing I'd suggest a 3 wt or less, if you're going for giants I'd suggest a 6 to 8 wt. But a 5 wt is right in the middle and you can do almost anything with it. Hope this helps!
Omg!!!!!
That trout is underfed.
Scott Powell I don’t know about that...
😮😮😮
Nice video, no question. I'm from germany and my question is, these trout's in your home water are all natural orgin, or are also packfish in the water's? Thank's .
I'm not sure what you mean by packfish.. but these trout are not native. They were actually bought to America from Germany a long time ago. Now they breed and reproduce naturally in the creeks and rivers.
@@hardmanfishing thank you, that's want i know. Greeting A.
Go big or go home! Sweet!
William Cooke no doubt!! Thanks for watching!
Shendendoah park, George Washington national forest, cranberry, smokehole, lots of streams you need to give a try😀👊
First Name fishes em all! Just don’t have time to drive 2 or 3 or 4 hours to catch trout right now my man!
I caught 3 23inch a 25 inch and multiple from 16 to 20 in. Today
Fair play - awesome!
Éamonn Ó Broin thanks for watching! I’m glad you liked the video!
What kind of streamer is that you are tying I would love to fish with one in the trophy waters at Cherokee
Fish blend in amazingly often what we think won't hold fish, they adapt. When I caught my rainbow it's back was a unusual light green & the sides silver with the streak of pink & spots. I never would have seen the fish till it struck my bait. Congrats BIG BROWNS 🎣
What state you from man ?
Catch and release so they make babies, good work!
Thank you! Glad you liked the video
In Poland we have period of protection for Brown trout, since 1st september to the end of the year. In some rivers season starts at 1st Ferbuary.
martolineo90 yessir that makes sense! That’s when they spawn (or somewhere in that time frame). We take special can in making sure they aren’t spawning when we fish. And if we see them spawning we stop fishing for a month or so. The weird weather has pushed back the spawn I believe because there is no sign of it yet. Thanks for watching!
@@hardmanfishing I understand, it's ok, but in Poland lots of fishermans don't care about fish spawns and healthy, if regulations wouldn't exist I'm sure that fish will die quickly :(
Marcin Działa yesh I think everybody needs to be better educated on the fish spawn
Scott Walker yessir! It’s a great fish and one of many. Thanks for watching
Hogssssssss
Emilio Hernandez yessir!!
wow wow wow👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Seems like we keep seeing this same spot and the same fish in multiple videos.
Ronald Kenyon seems like a comment from someone who’s never fished the area lol I’ve never put the same fish in multiple videos. Don’t need to because there are so many places to fish and so many fish to catch. Although I will admit a lot of the walls/bridges/holes may look similar. Thanks for watching regardless!
Where in WV do you Fish. ?
When a fish fills your net, then you know you got a good fish! Amazing browns congratulations 🐟 thanks for sharing your fishing trip 🎣
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
@@hardmanfishing very much so keep em' coming & Good Luck 🎣
A dream trout.

What's the average weight of a trout on the east coast
Is that a lacrosse stick in the river at 0:25?
That was a 17" fish.
What's the average weight of a brown trout
Do you have a Fishbrain?
So if they are not wild in the wild........did you always catch your previous browns at the hatchery. 🧐
Rippin Lips what on earth are you talking about lol
Nice brown trout
Thanks man!! Glad you liked the video. Share it around!
