    The sound of the boat hitting the waves brought back memories of fishing with my grandfather when I was a child. I would laugh so much I couldn’t breathe. I think he got as much of a kick out of my laughter as I did bouncing around.

    Opening montage is chef's kiss; stunningly beautiful ... visual, sound, music, aerial, slow-mo, closeups.. what's not to love!? As a NorCal trout fisher (brook to trophy lake) every fish you tossed back hurt my soul, lol! Trout are a difficult catch, finicky feeders, so many rules, and strict limits. When you finally land one and have to throw back due to size, it's painful to part with them. When they are of size and in limit, we almost always keep ... cuz it may be the last (or only!) one you catch not just for the day, but for your outing or even an entire season. Thank you for an afternoon on the water; envious!

    • @dragonflyshomeandgarden1605
      @dragonflyshomeandgarden1605 4 місяці тому +3

      Is the size the reason why they put the fishes back to the river? For me the Pikes seem big. I'm a little consternd when I see this. Here in Germany 'catch an release' (for Fun) is vorbidden because of the injuries of the fishmouth. But of course too little fishes can be released.

    • @hellabiz4289
      @hellabiz4289 4 місяці тому +2

      @@dragonflyshomeandgarden1605 yes; trout have very delicate mouths and hooking them when they're young and/or small to begin with often destroys the jaw and ability to feed properly. When we fish in streams, the hooks are tiny and barbless ... less to tear them up with. On lakes with trophy they are 20+ inches. Many lakes now have a toss-back of anything shorter than 18" and streams, less than 8". The California Fish/Game department rules change every year; are different for different areas, even by stream/river. Confusing as heck! The pike they're Eric and Arielle are pulling out are a much more resilient fish with an actual 'bite.' They're invasive, non-native pretty much everywhere in North America/USA, and they EAT TROUT! So I'm all for bagging as many as possible to get them outta the ecosystem ... Have done lots of things in Germany, but never had a chance to go fishing there!!

    Thank you for the enjoyment you bring to your almost 800,000 subscribers.
    PS Please do an end-of season review of house, chickens, shop (quonset hut), solar, equipment, and landscaping. Cannot wait for all the gardening, harvesting, recipes, and eating to come. Know your first year with new garden will be a huge success.

    This video was awesome and it brought back memories of the time my family would take a week off and go camping in northern Michigan close to Roscommon with my parents, brother, sister and me.
    I was knee high then, when we fish for pike when we were camping at a state forest camp ground we went to the boat launch and fish for small perch then went back near our camper and fished offshore using the perch as bait.
    When fishing like that it takes hours two hook a Pike.
