"How do you swim?" hilarious!

I fish Cayuga regularly, the 2nd fish was likely a landlock Atlantic salmon. There is a decent population in Cayuga and they can be hard to tell from a brown trout. Key is Atlantics have a shorter mouth (e.g. small mouth vs large mouth bass), don't have spots on the adipose fin (the top fin closest to tail), and the base of the tail is smaller (you can easily get your hand around it). They also have a slightly forked tail. Having said all of that it can be really tough sometimes to tell them apart. Only true way is to look in the mouth at the upper teeth. Atlantics have one row of small teeth down the center browns have two rows. Great fish either way and one of my favorite lakes.

I agree. Would’ve liked a better look at the tail.

What a great shot! That trout jumping in the background was one in a million. Way to go Elias. Thanks again for taking us along.

Mad respect to any angler who talks to waterbirds.

Glad to see some big trouts. Great sign of the ecosystem

Been watching you and seamoney slay from the yaks for like 2 years know. Finally picked myself up a hobie with the mirage and can't wait to hit the water. Hoping to find some hawgs even close to that here in the PNW! Great vid!!

Thats a beautiful lake, I know what you mean about everything in nature having its own place. Those brown trout were straight up obese!

Gorgeous Brown Trout.

YESSSS ive been waitin for one of these vids! gotta fish sometime man I love watching every vid u put out

That is some absolutelly beautiful Brown trout! You are very lucky to have access to such fishing spots! I allso find it funny (not sarcasme) you call those "lake trout", we call them "charr", since they're not closelly related to trout. Keep these awsome videos coming! Love from Norway

Dude you crushed those trout without really going with traditional methods! That’s why I browse through KZread because every guy has a preference for the area they fish but there’s those out there like you that cross the bass tackle over to trout and crush em. I’m just taking in as much info as I can then mold it all into success on the water, hopefully.

I miss kayuka I'm originally from buffalo had fun trwe the fingers. Now I'm ctmore fly fishing then anything love your ftrips you deserve more viewers then what you get, thanks for this one.

My RN that comes here was watching your video about lake trout the other day with me. She loved it. Said she had just got back from vacation, where they were fishing for Lakers also, but caught none. She watched where you said to fish anywhere from 50 feet to 70 feet deep for them. She said thank you for info, that they had only been fishing up to about 30 feet deep. -

Wow, super slam on those browns, nice going.

I grew up in the finger lakes region. I went to school. In Ithaca. I never once thought about kayak fishing. I’ve only ever caught pan fish. Can’t wait to try trolling with spoons and yozuri lures. Thanks so much. Ever fish Canandaigua?

Nice vid EV those were awesome Brownies! Would like to see a C & C with the Browns, the only trout I have eaten are Speckled, and Rainbows which are awesome. The lake looked awesome nice to see the duck family. Thx for sharing your fun!

absolutely insane, would love to fish that lake sometime

Excellent catch Elias! Be eating good the next week Thanks for the video

Hey bro great video like always. How about a video on reading and setting fishfinder. Could be really helpful for a lot of us.

Another great vid

the fattest trout I have caught constantly are browns and brookies.. BUt that brown you caught was an aberration! man that was something.. big ole hump and a belly the size of rhode island.. f-4 flatfish evening in the late summer, early fall.. especially for mac's know them boys silly out here in the pacific northwest..You got some real nice browns.. Lemolo lake down in the southern part of ORegon by diamond lake has some huge browns.. They wanted to make that a trophy brown lake but it is a reservoir and the lake level changes to much to give browns a chance to get record size.. But I know the spot where the big browns hang and can catch those size all day.. it is a lot of fun though I have not been sown there in about 20 years.. thanks for the share Elias.. we are waiting for a snow storm and I am getting anxious to get back fishing so these are get "fix" videos.. carry on and I want to tell you I truly appreciate your hard work to make these happen.

Those things fight like hell

I just realized I had bought some of those 11 cm flicker minnows last year. Going to give them a shot next time I get to Merrill, that's the closest I can get to big trout in a lake.

If you fish the Finger Lakes and Lake Ontario they are known as FOOTBALL Browns(not Cleveland}. The gobies are all over and that is why our Smallmouth are often 5lbs now rather than 2 lbs when I was younger

NIce videos and you catching all HOGS buddy!

All beauties. When you think of Cayuga Lake you don't think of a fishing mecca but you make it look like one. Yeah you are an expert at that fishing. Common sense + fishing sense = expert. Thanks great video

Nice video those big freshwater lakes have there own beauty use to fish lake George on vac every year miss those trips are those stocked brown trout or natural or both thanks for sharing

Excellent fishing there Elias. Some serious calories on those Browns I reckon ;)

Those gobbies in Australia are great bait. I'm sure you dispatched of this one with a hook in it 😉

*Beautiful* Video Congratulations! Have a very successful week. Hug!👍🎣🐟🐡🐠

That brownie at 5:15 is the most silver brown trout I have seen. Looked more like a Rainbow trout without the pink stripe.

in the fall you should try fishing the lake's tributaries with roe bags and see if you can't get any on the spawning run

We have gobies here in Holland as well, great bait fore perch and zander.

Nice!!

Nice 👍 ❣️🎣

I live on Lake Ponchatrain in New Orleans. Your video's always make me want to go get in the boat and fish. Opened the door took one step outside in 95 degree 90% humidity. Can't do it I think I will watch some more of your older stuff instead.

Yea high humidity is a killer the heat I can handle but humidity takes it out of you I work in roofing construction it’s gets hot so if I’m not working 90s don’t bother me as much as others people will always be like man it’s hot and I’ll be like oh it’s not too bad but then again the roof gets you another 10 to 15 degrees hotter than regular ground and then finding shade makes a huge difference direct sun is worse of course

Just found your channel in the last week or so. Really enjoying your videos. I'm a terrible angler. Well, to use the word "angler" is probably a huge stretch actually. The videos are great. Keep it up! PS: I live in the Finger Lakes region. Which lake is this?

Sweet

How do you know how deep your lures actually are when you are trolling? How deep would you say you can troll before you need leadcore?

I’ll be up at Cayuga Lake early April. I’m gonna give it a shot and rent a kayak. Is early April a reasonable time to try? Assuming it’s not stupid cold.

First time I've heard of anyone catching gobies in FLX!

Hey Elias, some of your older videos you were using a catch bag that hung off the side of the kayak and was a netting material with a big peice of velcro at the top.. It was made by a local NE guy. I can't find the video or the product. Do you know what i'm talking about? It may have been John Skinners videos. I'm not sure.

Damn!

Brown FATPIGFISH!!! Nice Catch! Elias

I lived in Seneca Falls for 4 years. We used to catch the smelt during the spawn. Caught a few large Walleye but never a Lake Trout or Brown trout that size. I wonder if they were there 45 years ago. Were you fishing the north end of the lake from the west shore?

Hey lake Erie smallmouth adventure would be cool, or a northern Pike trip would be cool to see

Very FAT Brownies!!! Never seen them so FAT! They were completely out of proportion!!! Another great video!!! Thank You!!

Why do we find those really silver and green browns? Do they change color in different times of the year or in different stages of life?

Those where all nice trout man is there ever a skunk day for Elias my Lord well I guess you wouldn’t be uploading a skunk day huh lol might not be as interesting as catching great fish love all your catch and cooks brother your definitely one of my favorite fishing channels mainly because your always catching something new or switching it up I can’t stand to see largemouth bass anymore I don’t get excited for them great fish and they can get pretty big but too many people target nothing more than largemouth for sport and it bores me to death let’s do some real fishing guys

Good to finally see someone who _keeps_ the FOOD they harvested, instead of spending a lot of time and money for the purpose of _tormenting_ the food and then throwing it back (to _possibly_ survive). There were times when I was so damn poor that if I did not fish, I did not eat that day. I learned that Carp is delicious when properly prepared (cut into chunks, breaded, and fried!), and can be _very_ easy to catch --- a hundred-plus pound stringer of them when _no one_ else was catching _anything_ (hint: they are absolutely addicted to frozen corn nibblets!) And, a 35 lb. carp that will _easily_ snap 20 lb monofilament _can_ be landed on *_8 lb_* line -- if one is patient, and lets that submerged Sherman Tank tire itself out -- pull up with rod, quickly reel in line as lowering rod, pull up rod, repeat until the next run, and wait for the drag to stop spinning, then repeat. Eventually, your arm will be aching, and your fish will be slid up on shore. I digress. I love trout. It is delicious. I used to ride my motorcycle into the country (Michigan), then climb down to a tiny brook (spots were so narrow I could cross it in a single step), where I'd catch a nice mess of native brookies, just-legal size, and _delicious_ when cleaned (one slit to cut out the innards, cut out the gills, rinse under the faucet, and then fry in butter -- do NOT scale them, do NOT remove the head!). Ah, memories... Old age sucks. Enjoy your youth while you have it, and do NOT take your health for granted! You never know when you may lose it in a heartbeat (in my case, courtesy of a doped-up driver in an Olds 98 who rammed my Chevette -- she was doing 45 MPH and I was stopped behind a car at an intersection -- ended my life as a "bigtime" computer consultant (making $60/hr in mid-1980s dollars, so do the math as to what that'd be now) -- and here I am, health wrecked, "living" on Social Security, and pissing and moaning about it in a comment on a fishing channel. :)

Elijah French originally they were stocked in cayuga lake. i know they make a spawning run up streams that feed the lake. but not sure if there is any reproduction on the browns. pretty sure lake trout are natural .
