That camera work was shoddy at best, i want those three minutes of my life back.
am I crazy or is that a brown hanging in with the steelhead at 1:15
That video sucks, and those aren't Steelhead, they are rainbows. Eastcoast wannabes give your heads a shake, buy a plane ticket to BC and fish for steelhead.... actually it's probably better if you keeping playing with your Erie "steelhead," you losers can fish beads out there anyways
looks like the blair fish project.
Are you SERIOUS??? The camera work was "shoddy at best"??? No wonder i never click on the comments section anymore. Sorry a film crew couldn't get out to film this.
The scene right after this one is him and his buddy throwing a grappling hook with a small yarn dot attach to one of the barbs, yanking all 9 fish out of that "hole".
Feels like vertigo, lost my cookies about 30 seconds in....
I skipped through it hoping it would get better. It didn't. Until it ended.
I'm sick of this "great lakes steelhead are inferior" bullshit. Just because our steelhead don't see saltwater doesn't make them rainbows. They have the exact same life cycle as every other steelhead that has swam up rivers in Washington and Oregon and the get just as big, eat the same flies, and look identical. They're steelhead, the fishing is the same here as it is there. Get over yourselves.
@unimpressed I am sorry you got beat up in high school, but its time to stop being so angry at the world. its fishing, relax.
@Sam,
"I'm sick of this "great lakes steelhead are inferior" bullshit. Just because our steelhead don't see saltwater doesn't make them rainbows."
Actually Sam, the sole reason your "steelhead" aren't steelhead is because they don't see saltwater. There are big rainbows in big lakes accross North America, but those of us with self respect refer to them as what they are, big rainbows. Swing for steel off of the pacific and you will understand, until then keep crying that your "steel" aren't inferior.....ha ha ha
@Unimpressed
As strange as this may seen to you, I have swung for pacific steelhead, and if I hadn't driven to the rivers and fished them myself, wouldn't have noticed a single difference. I have never seen a "big rainbow" that is completely chrome, has an identical spawning pattern as any pacific steelhead, and behave exactly the same when growing in open water. Not to mention the original fish stocked in the Great Lakes (now naturally producing, depending on where you live) were, in fact, steelhead from Oregon and Washington.
