Sweet mercy. God bless Lake Michigan.

Great catch! Anglers can learn a lot from how carefully you handled that trout. Much respect.

Nice fish handling advice.. great the way you guys help each other out....well done Paul the man...

Great video Eric, love the shore fishing!

Appreciate seeing the other side of this sport on KZread having respect for the fish with smaller single hooks. Could keep'em a bit wetter, but it was a great vid. Thanks.

Absolutely AWESOME!!! And, thanks to Paul for the help!!!!

From somewhere I have only caught and seen 3-5lb browns that thing is massive! What a wonderful catch.

It’s great to see , I remember back in the sixties when Lake Michigan was decimated then they went and planted Steelhead, Browns and salmon in it and look at it today . Awesome

Nothing better than catching fish and meeting nice people enjoy guys great fish by the way

Awesome as always

You treat fish very grently. I feel how much you love fishs. Great video!!!! Greettng from Japan.

Wow! That’s a fish of a lifetime!

Man i miss those days!!! Back before the Michigan DNR in their infinite wisdom stopped planting Browns the Harbor/river in Elk Rapids was jurassic park. Those Browns were game to eat a bait prsented well almost 100% of the time. Thats a big damn fish Eric. Incredible camera work in a tight space to catch that eat!!! You are a beast

awesome video!!!! what a giant! that's what dreams are made of!!!!

I miss having browns over here in Mich the 90 where crazy fishing for them! Great fish! Thanks for sharing

Awesome video Eric your in the spot man gets crowded alot though unfortunately but early early morning that works I might of caught her too 🤣 💯👊🏽

Awesome vid

Oh my God... It's amazing.. Congratulations 💪💪

You're a legend

Like #300 from me. Great video my friend. Float fishing is awesome, slip float/bobber would of been more practical fishing deeper depths like you mentioned, easier to land for sure. Some nice steelhead and world class sized mama brown. Congrats on the big catch, Eric.

Muy bueno. Catch and release captura y suelta.🤩😘🐟

Congrats on the monster trout proud of u brother ..I did subscribe as well

Dang I’ve caught king salmon that big.. but a 25lb brown trout. WOW!😮

Hahahaha, that was great!!!

Beast😦

What a Fish

You're the man Eric. Catch and release that is the way everybody should do it.

Where are you fishing at? We have EPIC steelhead here in the PacNW!

Going to use your link to purchase one of those reels or two. Which size should I get for bass and pike fishing? It says the 500 and 1,000 don't have an anti-reverse switch. I don't want to reel that will spin backwards.

Epic

看起來很好吃😃

Fabulous

Dream

I've been following you and your absolute slay fest of multiple browns this size recently, well done! You ever try casting small jerkbaits/small swimbaits for them this time of year? Im not much of a river guy at all but I DO love the late winter/March super aggressive brown trout bite in the bays and Marina's tossing bait fish imitation lures.
