Thanks. I wish they'd come out more, but they're getting older and not as interested.

Thank you!

Congrats! Size doesn't always matter.

Thanks

Thanks, yeah when you're releasing them anyways its not a big deal. Even when you want to keep some I now realize it's not a big deal. Not worth ruining a great day fishing over losing a fish. I am glad they come with me. It's fun to watch them.

Quicker for what? I was just planning on flipping the fish off the hook. That's what I said.

Size isn't that important when it's the first one! great memories.

I know fish was big and cool too

+kaplin these were stocked last spring 2015 at about 3 to 5 inches long. So not new stocked fish. They act more like wild fish. Different strains of trout fight differently. These are fraser valley rainbows and the best fighting are the Pennask also known as Kamloops bow.

+The Fishing Doctors Adventures Yeah i live in the interior so its mostly pennask, nothing fights like a wild pennask.

+kaplin not sure what you mean by wild. The only wild ones are from Pennask the rest are stocked fish in most lakes just like the ones I was catching. A few have self sustaining populations but most interior lakes are managed by stocking. I too think that after they have lived in the wild for a year they basically are like wild fish. Got to love Penn ask bows!

+The Fishing Doctors Adventures By wild i mean the last time they were stocked was back in the 80s or something and the hatchery stopped stocking because the natural spawning is sufficient. I think the website is called habitat wizard there you can see the historical stocking record of many lakes and tells you what strain they put in.

+kaplin thanks for the info I'll look into that

Yeah we were not keeping them anyways. Catch and release

thanks

thanks

Thanks

Thanks

For sure!

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures Dr. It took you a year to read this... LOL... I love that rod...

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures actually it was someone else that commented today that brought my attention to it. I always respond but for some reason a lot of comments never come into my notofications. Sice I have so many videos it is impossible to find these new comments without beimg notified. I haven't figured out why they don't show up.

+danyi2170 haha yeah just the guy on the release slipped up. Must have knocked the line.

thanks

thanks

Thanks

Thanks

+CrazyGming thanks

Happens to me all the time. Always bugged me when I saw kids with monster pike and I had fished for them for years and never caught one. Then I finally got one.

+Hopsky's Lounge thanks

This is our backyard and we don't keep the fish anyways. I usually just release them by flipping the hook out beside the boat.

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures I see you guys are lucky. I'm in California and it cost me a fortune to go fishing and always pull out a sardines LOL

@@69technique when I lived in California I fished a lot but never fished at pay to fish lakes. I always went to big bear, silverwood, perris, santa ana river, bear creek. Had lots of fun and great success.

I'm kind of joking I have some success but nothing like what you have in your backyard forget Channel Cats some trout and plenty of bass but a good day for me is like to fish so yeah it could be better

@@69technique you'll get them! Good luck!

Haha

S P my backyard.

I was trying to flip the fish off without touching it since we are not keeping the fish. No use bringing it into the boat for a picture, I have a whole video. Guess you missed that point. The intention was to let it go without bringing it into the boat. The line snapped anyways which is what I was trying to avoid.

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures I do catch and release all the time Taking a picture last forever videos dont

@@blackknight4899 Really? Pictures last forever and videos don't. How do you figure that? You do realize that a video is thousands of pictures strung together. As well most pictures now are digital and saved on a digatal storage device just like the videos.

+cutthroatmen thanks for watching

MrCheesypickles my back yard, private community pond.

Damn I need to move!

+ColoradoFrontRange 4 lb fluorocarbon, Berkley Vanish. Trilene Knot. Didn't break at the knot. I think the line got nicked from rubbing on the boat or catching other fish. I thought I touched it with the forceps but after watching the video I didn't. Oh well... no big deal. There are lots more Cyclone Thomas Lures left on the market.

+The Fishing Doctors Adventures I am new to fishing. I wonder how long I can 'play' a 14/15" trout on 4 lb mono before the fish teeth will cut the line? I assume fluoro would 'hold-up' longer. If I ever get lucky and hook a 3 lb fish am I at even greater risk of a line cut? I imagine with mono: more line stretch means more risk of a line cut. Good fishing, thanks for your videos.

You can play a trout of that size for a long time with 4 pound test. I usually don't break four pound test even with a 2-3 pound fish. The trout don't have much for teeth and the fluorocarbon is abrasion resistant so that helps. If you are worried about breaking off just up the test to 6 or 8 lb test then you shouldn't have any trouble. Just can't cast as far with the small lures.

Are you asking if we are Canadian? My Kids were born in the USA. They have dual citizenship.

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures talking like a canadian

Ok is that an issue?

@@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures haha no its not

Moonstone Aquatics & Pet Corner you sound a little extreme. People have been fishing since the dawn off time. Your bird brained ideas have only started in your lifetime. I don't even think you watched the video because the fish did not even get taken out of the water so how was it suffocating? and nobody stabbed the fish.

The only thing I see wrong is your name on a birth certificate
