“I’m not that good at this kind of fishing” Proceeds to catch trophy fish one after the other

"Cut me some slack" said no one ever when landing fish that big!! Nice work Eli! You are always dialed and and dialing in more.

My God. I troll for trout every morning of the NYC watershed. Fish that big only come once in a blue moon for us let alone all in one trip. Love it bro!👍

You go to Cannonsville, that’s average fish size if you jig by a ledge there. Same goes for Ashokan. 7-8 lbs is average trout size. You just gotta use right color in right spot.

he just casually catches my PB atlantic salmon and then goes on like it was nothing lol. thats why i love watching Elias V. he is so chill

Was waiting for this, what a giant!! Huge motivation for getting after FGL trout and salmon

I'd say you did damn good out there. Looks like a pretty healthy cold water fishery. All trophy brownies and a bonus landlocked. Nice

Wow man, massive browns. What a good week, well worth that $28 for sure.

In two days you caught several trout of a lifetime. Great job man that is a weekend to remember

I never considered buying a kayak until I starting watching your channel.

Same here I couldn't take it anymore so I got one lol. Can't tell you how fun it has been Catching walleye, pike, and small mouths. Looks like I gotta get after some trout. 👍

Always crushing it. Nice job man!

That “smaller one” you kept was slightly bigger than my PB. What a couple days of fishing. You caught some serious tanks. Nice video

In awe at the size of that brown. Absolute unit.

That is just awesome.here in California that would be the fish of 5 lifetimes! Haha.you guys have such amazing lakes in your territory. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely awesome. That’s one place I’ve never had a chance to fish. Beautiful area up there

Excellent video felt like I gotta get out and try some of that. Man some real monsters!

Those were some Monster trout!!! Awesome video.

I like the switch up. Nice catches too. Just flat out massive browns!

nice work man. love the lake action.

Honestly seems like the best lake iv ever seen

Hooked into an Atlantic salmon from a little public dock on that lake 10 days ago. Yanked the hook when he took a turn into the weeds. Thank you for enlightening me.

Man huge browns. Keep em comin bud.

Dude!!!! You slated those browns brother!!! Great job!!!

Fantastic, man!!

Trip of a lifetime!!!

Beautiful brown. My PB was like 8-9 in an upstate NY reservoir. I held that fish and said this guy was the TOP of the food chain in that body of water. A very special fish.

Epic fishing Elias your the man

Dude!!! What humongous browns! Wow, just Wow!

Wish you would do a talk on hook sets at sometime. I feel like I miss a lot of fish due to bad habits. Great video and hope to see you on the water in NC soon.

Hey EliasV, GREAT size brown trout. Take care.

12:02 "Let me take good care of you" - I love it!

Damn those Browns were the biggest I've ever seen......absolute Goliaths! Awesome job!!

I live in the mountains of Virginia, and I am very jealous of the size of those trout. I do a lot of mountain stream native brook trout fishing where 12 inches is a beast. Those are some butterball browns!

Hay I am Irish but I know your native brook trout are stunning looking fish. I bet you get a lot of fun ?

The Finger Lakes, mostly Cayuga / Seneca is on my kayak fishing bucket list. Also on my bucket list is Landlocked Atlantic Salmon. I really enjoy watching your videos!

Amazing video great fishing

Totally effing loved this video! Great footage and beautiful fish!

Well that’s distressing to hear. I just subbed precisely BECAUSE of this type of content (that and I’ve been fishing out of a Hobie Outback for 15 years...Mirage “Hank Parker” Fish edition. Just upgraded to a 2019 OB). The salt content is interesting but I live in VT hours away from the nearest salt. I’m going back to watch the laker video again!

Big browns!! Nice fish man

Beautiful fish

Any of those big trout is easily worth the 28 bucks to me. Great video as always man.

Do more crazy trout vids like this. It's awesome

I have a vibe sea ghost 130 kayak and still have yet to take it in saltwater. Your videos are inspiring me to do so very soon!

Christian Robeson my son and I have 2017 sea ghost 130’s and love them. We have had them on The Bay and they perform admirably, haven’t had them on the ocean yet.

Those were some world class German Brown trout. People dream of catching a brown that size and you caught multiple ones. I don’t think you realized how special that was.

Normally not a huge fan of your freshwater fishing, probably cause i haven't done it, however, when I get to hear you say "that is the biggest brown trout I have ever seen" instead of "this is a PB" makes it all worth it. Nice.

Dude, I'm so jealous. Some people fish a lifetime and never come close to browns like that. Nice job

Nice channel! Just came across it! Watched the video of you and Mario where you caught those monster croppies and grilled em! Good eating!! Just subbed. 👍🏿👍🏿✌🏿

We have some stud browns on the western side of Lake Michigan. Having said that, Jesus you put on a clinic! My PB is 23#, and there are 35#+ swimming in the lake, though very rare for sure. Looks like you had a blast my friend. In reality, our browns are highly overlooked, mostly due to the kings and cohos and acrobatic rainbows/steelies that get targeted in much deeper water. They (browns) are a lot of fun on light tackle. Especially the Seeforellen strain. Absolutely loved this video!

Nice video man

Wow thats really cool stuff, I need to get my yak out and make some smallmouth vids soon!

I think many guys would have no issue paying $28 to fish a fishery like this for a week LOL.. Great vid. Those were stud browns man. Not many individuals could have days like this using this technique either.. Trout/salmon fishing can be super humbling at times in the bigger lakes.

Snag and drop egg sacks! Nice work Elias.

Sick lake.

Elias, I started watching your videos mostly because I’ve been fishing out of an ancient Hobie Outback (15 or more years old...Mirage “Hank Parker” Fish edition. Just upgraded to a 2019 OB). The salt content is interesting but I live in VT hours away from the nearest salt. I just subbed precisely BECAUSE of this type of content and hope to see more now and then in the future. Meanwhile, I’m going back to watch the laker video again!

Thank you, I like to make videos like this but unfortunately it’s a flop on views. In my opinion this is one of the most interesting videos I’ve done all year. I wish this stuff pulled in more views for me....

Freaking outstanding! My pb 10lb brown. Central Oregon.

Dude love your videos man! 😎 You make it so easy 😁

Little 5lb brownie. Smaller one for the table. Around here that’s a major league trout. Most anywhere really. Way to go bud, I love how you can find success no matter the body of water or species. Really dig your channel

Insane

Wonderful fishing! Those big Browns had shoulders on them ... darn near ocean sized. Hard to imagine the fight they would put up as sea-run fish. New York is not alone in socking it to non-resident vacationers who want to go fishing. ( and it might even get worse ) But, as expatriate New Yorkers, we both know the drill. Complaining long and loud is our birthright, damnit.

Your always fishing right in front of my house whenever you come to cayuga, this summer ill take you out trolling

oh damn.. I just became deeply green eyed.. wet my pants and fell off my chair.. I have been trying to catch a brown that big for a long time.. I have caught some very nice ones.. but that pig.. now I am old and can't really load and launch my boat anymore and am to stiff for a yak.. so... I have been watching you for awhile and must have missed this one.. you probably will never see this but I am choking on my jealousy here.. good fish brother!

9:56 YOU CAN THANK ME LATER LOL, he got queefed on and said 'i dont even know' LMFAO

Great educational video…thank you. I’m new to deep water presentations. When trolling down to 50 feet in a kayak…how do you get the Flicker Minnow Deep Diver to that depth in your hobie ? Are you adding weights to the line above the lure and allowing it to drop before you troll and what speed are you targeting? Thank you so much and congratulations on a great week in upstate NY.

“25 in. Salmon not bad” I don’t know how common that is on the finger lakes but a fish like that would be considered an absolute stud here in New England, that looks like a crazy Salmonoid fishery

Here in ontario that's kinda small if you ever get the chance BC is definitely the place to be for that family

Just wondering what mapping you are using on your lowrance unit is that the stock insight mapping or are you making your own with lake insight pro. Thanks ,Rich

AWESOME

That was a great fishing trip. If you were doing something wrong keep doing it that was a massive brown trout great job. Were you using any Gulp on the 1 ounce jig

“I only fish trout 5 days a year…cut me some slack” are you serious man?? That was an extraordinary catch of massive browns. Most people would consider themselves very fortunate to catch even just one of those in a day’s worth of fishing.

Man, I've been up at Drum for a few years now and I have never had the plesure of getting into fish like that. I have never seen browns that big before up here.

Uncultured, try this charter service near you. They run out of Henderson Harbor and can put you on some monster Lake and Brown Trout as well as Salmon and Walleye. I've used them many times and always have a blast! facebook.com/SunkenTreasureFishingCharters/

Did alot of brook and brown fishing as a kid in northern Michigan and Wawa Canada. A15 inch brook or a 23 inch brown were considered a good fish. What you are catching are monsters. Compared to salt water fish though they’re like pulling in a log.

Wow!

as the french would say, "holy Crepe those are beauty fish!"

Guys when they stock ponds and lakes how many fish do they put in? And do they just dump in dump trucks filled with water? Any idea how many fish they use to stock them?

Time to upgrade your leader to 15 or 20 floro! Nice job!

Temperature of the water is the most important and next is the speed of the presentation. 52- 53F is what I use for Browns. Find the thermocline in hot weather and your set

Nice browns! Good content. I fished MA last week 3 day licences was $23.50 what a joke at least NY stocks good fish

That is a huge brown trout. I haven't caught a trout that big ever.

Hey Elias! Where do you launch from at Cayuga? Any public friendly places with good parking? Thanks!

Nice bro

Would you say this is your most successful year fishing? Either that or maybe I just suck but you have been slaying in NC and now back to NY and you just continue where you left off just different species lol. Lady luck has been with you lately it seems. Keep up the good work, it is paying off!

Love the neversink resevoir ( ;

Awesome work fishing the finger lakes. Just a heads up, you are allowed to keep 3 landlocked salmon.

Incredible browns there Elias. The kayak thing looks like a blast as well! So where in NY were you?? I’ve been having a hell of a season fishing Champlain for the 1st time in my life, heading south of Canadian border every weekend, and to date have 120 lakers to my tally on 7 trips, but haven’t really targeted salmon, steelhead or browns but I know they’re in there. This footage is motivating to research their whereabouts on this lake and spend more time for them next year. Anyhow, awesome content- subscribed.

nice job! which finger lake were you on? I spend lots of time row trolling and jigging for trout...love it

You did pretty good for not being too good at that type of fishing , or as you put it " I'm a tourist at this type of fishing " We call them Pilgrims down at Canal

Great stuff, do you think brown trout will be about 30' as the water cools? the lake here is 80' at the dam

Hi I live in Oswego New York not to far from the finger lakes and was wondering if you had any tips for me on how to catch more lake trout like lure size and what speeds to fish them. Thanks

Deeeeeeaaaaaammmmmmnnnnnnnnnn

Wow

That IS the biggest upstate New York reservoir Brown Trout I've ever seen! I'm guessing maybe you're on the Rondout, I'm not sure if there's Lakers on the Ashokan? Awesome fish, great video, great narration. Overall really great enjoyable video to watch. Thank you!

Its the finger lakes, probably cayuga or seneca. There are ridiculously big trout in those systems. They are very similar to the lake ontario trout. Central NY salmonoids are just a different kinda fish compared to the NYC reservoirs.

Un..............real.I bet you out fished some locals,you're great,no lie.

You have pike in the same water as Atlantic Salmon? And then Lake trout

Dang those lots bigger than what I ever caught there. That atlantic salmon would a won the derby. I know exactly what ya mean about the traffic, after that first holiday in spring the smooth water is gone. Didnt see any leechs hanging off any fish maybe i will head on up again. Kinda quit when the lake became infested with leechs .zebra mussles, and the slime that sticks to you line.

Those browns are beautiful fish. Are they less good to eat as they get larger, or did you release the big one "on principle?"

That was IN-Sane ~ ! Some world class brown trout right there sir. I'd say you quite a bit more than your 28 bucks worth. Nicely Done.

is that keuka west branch near the state park?

I wouldn't complain about 28 dollars for a week out of state license. It is 30 dollars for an out of state seven day license in Florida. Really enjoyed those vids the last couple of days. Wish those rods were in my price range. I really like the way they fish.

Awesome fishing!! What lures were you using?

Didn’t know that Cayuga was such a great fishery. The finger lakes are not what you think when it comes to great fresh water fishing. It’s probably you. Absolutely awesome video. Love the freshwater stuff. Thanks.

"this one's about 5 lbs. Not crazy big" I might catch one or two of those fish in a year. Catching studs all day!

Come fish the NYC reservoirs with us. Show us how its done!

Well where were you fishing thanks

Christ almighty Leviathans of trout 👏👏👏The best I've ever caught on my local river Erkina in laois was 5pounds and they'll never get as big as those monsters There's got to be massive feeding to get them to that size
