  19. @bryankirkham8249 on March 4, 2025 at 12:22 am

    What about when they swallow the hook? I accidentally killed 2 yesterday both rainbows were about 4 pounds. I just want to catch and release

  20. @BassBros8 on March 4, 2025 at 12:26 am

    This is some good info!!

  21. @RedondoBeach2 on March 4, 2025 at 12:27 am

    Great advice and thank you for making this video. One of the most frustrating things seen in fishing videos is fishermen obsessing over a fish and holding it for far too long. This includes fishermen who think they’re doing the fish a favor by continuing to hold them in their hand, in the water, as the fish is struggling to swim away from their grip. Seriously, what is their obsession. Get over it, clown! Typically these are the same idiots who can’t help but call every fish they catch, "beautiful." The fish all look the same. Let it go!

    Nice ๐Ÿ˜„
    Super quick subscribe๐Ÿ‘

  23. @animelover-tw2xl on March 4, 2025 at 12:30 am

    So I have a curious question if a person were to catch a trout and release it back and it accidentally dies will the said person be in trouble or would it just be out of a person’s control?

  24. @Letsgetjazzywithit on March 4, 2025 at 12:30 am

    Hi, fishing newbie here. When you said โ€œKeepโ€ the fish do you mean in a tank, or to eat?

  25. @MightyMarioBros378 on March 4, 2025 at 12:30 am

    Any net thatโ€™s not a rubber net will remove the slime coat from any species of fish doesnโ€™t matter trout or not have a rubber net also wet your hands on any fish below the mature age as fish learn to regrow their slime coat during the spawn

  26. @emmashepard1822 on March 4, 2025 at 12:32 am

    I use barbless when i’m not planning to take home fish to eat,and use regular hooks when i will not release them anyway. And also it depends the water i’m fishing on(what they allow for fishermen to use)

    Like 1 great Video fishing. Lg von Luca B und Luca S und Milan die Angler.๐ŸŽฃ ๐ŸŸ.petri๐Ÿ‘the trout.

  29. @levitch on March 4, 2025 at 12:37 am

    i mashed down all of my barbs at the beginning of summer and it has had no affect on the number of fish I catch. I was surprised…and now releases are way faster and much less damaging

  30. @BryanWentFishing on March 4, 2025 at 12:38 am

    Yes! This is a very good explanation of how to handle trout. Thanks for sharing this.

  31. @BeautifuLakesStreamsBiologists on March 4, 2025 at 12:42 am

    The high 60s is not too warm to fish for rainbow trout, but it can be for brookies. I have no idea how you made your conclusion, but I’d move it up about 8 degrees F for surface water measurements.

  32. @weirddingus4620 on March 4, 2025 at 12:43 am

    A humane and scientifically informed fisherman, refreshing, thanks for the info man! I’m a newbie so this is great!

  33. @TK-jump on March 4, 2025 at 12:43 am

    Do the fish a favor and just dont do this silly sport.

  35. @TopBananaMan on March 4, 2025 at 12:45 am

    Thank you! I have been trying to figure out what the best thing to do is when the fish swallows the hook.

    I do have a quick question for you though. If there is blood when the fish swallows the hook does that mean it’s better off to keep the fish or will it still survive by just cutting the line? Does it depend on how much blood you’re seeing ?

    Thanks for the knowledgeable info. And you got some nice editing skills!
