The Humblefisherman - Bull Trout eating a Cutthroat Trout

[MarlowsFlyShop]

Excellent Video Humblefisherman - you Humble me :)

[CEOcutter]

Bull trout didn't try to eat the cutthroat trout. The cutthroat trout yell HELP HELP, SOMETHING PULLING ME. The bull trout just came to help LOL. AHAHA JK JK good vid.

[fujoman999]

Amazing that you managed to get it on film. Had this happen in Livingstone and I was in absolute shock.... realizing I didn't even grab my camera that was in my pocket. Cheers for letting me relive the moment.

[rickitickidicki]

thanks! you can really appreciate the predatory nature of these seemingly benign fish. I would not want to be a cutthroat in that river.

[jacksonhobbs1]

Nice fish!

Check out some of the fish found up in Fernie BC Canada, on the Elk River.

In the youtube search bar type in "jacksonhobbs1" and you will see my Youtube Channel, and my cabin for sale. It has some amazing photos with big Trout from the Elk River in BC Canada. I'm sure you will like the videos!

Cheers Fishing Dudes

[woodchuck251]

This is some amazing footage! Those suckers are tuff Fish man!

[izzyfreeride]

Nice work brother- I had a bull swallow a cutt headfirst with my fly still in the cutts jaw. How does that work out?

[vallahalaviktor]

woah, thats an amazing clip man! once in a lifetime for sure.

[psychofishfan]

That's pretty cool man! I had the same thing happen to me at Pyramid Lake NV 2 years ago. I was fighting a little 18" Cutthroat and a giant Cutty (about 14-15lbs) came up and took the lil 18 incher right off my fly! No video but I'll remember it forever though. Sweet video man

[wildcatbungalo]

Did you do the underwater shooting by hand or do you have some sort of rig that you use?

[humblefisherman]

@wildcatbungalo

All our underwater clips are filmed by hand.

[zymbotictoot]

awesome video man thank you

[toorude369]

oh my god that was so cool! i had that happen with a bass. theres a great little warm water pond up the street from my house. i had a blue gill hooked up on my fly then suddenly the blue gill weighed like 8 pounds and i realized that a big ol bucket mouth was trying to eat the bluegill. pretty cool. never had it happen with a trout though.

[alright4u]

Good job.

[cod105ey]

holy shit nice trout

[Johnnyo012]

nice but what kind of bait do u use for bull trout?

[TheLipRipp3r]

Nice! That has happened to me several times, also! What a surprise when it happens! We had one bull that wouldn't let go, and I was able to hand-land it....he had the 16" cutthroat hangin out of his mouth like a dog would carry a bone...just like your video! Both the cutty and bull were successfully released that day! Tight lines!!

[AtmaRising]

that was rad

[mongoljinnet]

wow, that is freaking awesome, man. Looked like a taimen or something.

[RipYourTongueOut]

awesome video man.

[lh141]

ya it could be, haha im just speculating

[mikedf57]

what river is this? is it the south fork of the flathead?

[humblefisherman]

@mikedf57

this was filmed in Southern Alberta Canada

[mikedf57]

@humblefisherman hey man, do you guide at all?

[lh141]

ya i agree but i dont think that was a meal plan it was about territory thats why he left it wen the cutty took off

[mikedf57]

i disagree, that big ass bully was real hungry, they are ruthless, it wasnt about territory amigo

[lh141]

i dont tink it hany any intention of eating that cutthroat it just was inj his area so he got it out. he wouldnt have given up the chase if he was gonna eat him

[Lithys]

Bull Trout are a very aggressive fish, they kill anything that is in the same stream as them.

[humblefisherman]

@lh141 he wanted to eat em, thats what bull trout do, eat eat eat.

[ciscokid8893]

that is awesome. wish i could see somethin like that

[AVIDRC]

Awesome...nice footage! *****

[Nostrinian]

Amazing footage, good effort.

[myhomeisthehighway]

Hmm... I think I know where this is. Great spot too. This is an excellent video. Have you ever fished the canyon and up, on RHC? (in acronymn but Im sure since you know the area and you'll know what Im talking about). I've pulled some awesome bulls out of there, last time in I did quite favourably. I ran into some CO's on the way out that were heading up to do a fish count on bulls - apparently people are still keeping them. Some folks never learn.

[MrTrouthunter]

by far the coolest vid jay your the best in my opinion

[Joeskateapool]

bull trout look amazing to catch,I couldnt imagine using a jointed rapala and seeing the results

[troutman222]

the onl;y people who use rapalas are bait fishin red necks, I can't believe your even commenting on this vid.

[campcpc]

Wow... We fish brook trout around here in the adirondack mountains of NY. That is some great footage you got there. Stop by our site and check out some of our fishing videos or slideshows.

[villagepizza1]

i live like 20 minutes from you if you liove in the adirondacks

[fizzy408]

dam that is a nice river so much good fish u get to see them eat each other

[musicmac00]

The last time I did that was when I ran away while having my friend chasing me for accidentally realleasing his fish that got eaten by another bull trout...

Good Times...

[bachboy111]

do you know anywhere great to fish in Banff (aside from Moraine Lake? I was there last summer) I'm looking for other spots now...Thanks.

[humblefisherman]

I havn't done alot of fishing in Banff, but i have fished the Bow up there and did very well.

[bdevries44]

dang that was sweet

[Purifyer83]

Wow! Definetely cool stuff to see that underwater!

[GevshenianBros]

very cool the cutt was pretty nice sized !

[flylund]

...I fished Lundbreck Falls on the Crow this past September, this video describes that event to a T, no matter how big a fish we had on the bulls would attack. Awesome vid!....

[albertafisher]

1. was that in montana or alberta?

2. what kind of camera did you have to get those shots? was it a olympus?

[humblefisherman]

answer 1. Alberta, near calgary  2. pentax optio

thanks for watchin!

[LoneWolfWestCoast]

I've seen browns do the same thing with small rainbows.

[sharinganmaster12]

are bull trout pretty much lake trout?

[humblefisherman]

Bulls and Lakers are both members of the Char family. They can share the same waters and same food at times, but are very different.

[ciraxis82]

thats one big ass bull

[dirtTdude]

I have never seen anything like that in all my 30 years of angling. Thank you.

[katorade5]

Nice video I would rather film that then a great white feeding frenzy.

[nickbre]

Nice video

[forrestry]

Good video. That almost looks like a hole on the Berland. I guess they all look the same though.

[Maddrums19]

wow

i would be so happy to have this footage

[CoastalFlyFish]

Damn! That's just some mean ass trout you've got over there.. fish on!- and release.

[shimereemoon]

The rainbow trout are pretty. I ate one but I'd rather catch and release.

[36outof50]

This is super-rare video.

A couple of the pretty well-known fly-fishing books talk about pulling trout out of California rivers when 'something huge' suddenly eats the fish right off of the hook.

Now, we know what that 'something huge' is -- a huge Bull trout.

What river and what location did you shoot this video? It looks like Northern California.

Thanks!

[humblefisherman]

This was filmed in southern Alberta Canada. The exact river name must remain confidential to protect the Bulls in that river. In the province of alberta, the Bull Trout is a protected species with a 0 kill limit. This has improved the fishing, but it still has a long way to go.

[mformento15]

There aren't bull trout in California. The "something huge" eating fish off of the hook would probably be Browns

[river6ixx]

that's good a hard to get footage..awsome to see thx.

I had a small cutty on once(6-8 inches) and a Steelhead came up and had it in it's mouth by the tail for a few seconds.All I ever seen in bullies were whitefish fry(up to 5 inches).good stuff!

[WatsonGordy]

buda boom buda bang

[IxEntrnlix]

rofl nice 2 fish in 1

[Zollaganzi]

awesome

[feeldasteel]

pretty cool

[bloompyle]

that happened to me but with different fish. We were out deep sea in the gulf and my dad had a grouper and about half way (we think) a 7 1/2 foot tiger shark got it! :)

[PFCSmith07]

Badass brother. Keep the line tight, and your net wet :P

[willpirtle]

Sweet vid!

[Rastapopol]

Awesome Video! Keep it up! Greetz!

[huynhdanny73]

wow i havent seen a bull trout have another kind of trout in its mouth... but a really good video

[kylepickens]

sweet video

[adamcrunkcrowson]

i had that same shit happen to me. but i caught the dolly. :) i win.

[fishhardbc]

really interesting video

[danicafilm]

Aaw!

That's so cool!!!!

[icetrout2]

That was cool:]

[paulstil]

Nice work! I am heading into the pan-handle of Idaho this coming August in search of Cuts and Bull Trout - The Selway River is a haven for Bulls...

[THExGOODxLIFE307]

wow, this video tells me I need bigger bait

[kimberhunter]

pretty cool. I saw a bull trout chase a cutthroat up on a gravel bar out of the water one time. I couldn't believe my eyes. The cutthroat was exhausted and I revived him and got him on his way. I've had this same occurance happen many times in the Bob Marshall wilderness.

[thelonesquaretailer]

nice shot..i have had bull trout try to eat bull trout and dollies wile guiding in the chopper up in the bute on the coast here . and we have huge coastal cutts here and they try to eat each other as well. but never caught it on film.good times..

[troutman223]

This video kicks ASS. say where was this filmed? I've always wnted to catch a big bull but never got the chance.

[humblefisherman]

The headwaters to most of the streams and rivers in Southwest Alberta now have healthy populations of Bull Trout thanks to some aggressive protection laws. Rivers like the Oldman, Crowsnest, Castle, Highwood, Elbow, Bow,and Red Deer, all these Rivers can grow huge rod snapping Bulls.

23 guiding slot times left for this season. Drop us some mail if you are in need of Guiding service in Southwest Alberta in 2008. Bull Trout fishin is at it's best in July or August.

[cookiesfishin]

Nice vid.,check out ,greedy trout by cookester

[patio87]

Amazing footage.

[fishbrain999]

fish there every summer. love it

[raymond1277]

Are you kidding me!?!? I know that trout are canabalistic, but thats extreme!

[skiracer19]

Wow that was amazing , where and what pattern were you using??

[humblefisherman]

I was using a white double bunny.A most deadly fly. The location will remain a secret for now.

[nickrock101]

thats wild man good footage..

[rlupul0142000]

Great vid. Same thing happened to me on the lochsa river in idaho. HAHA no-one believed me!!!

[moefoe99]

Brilliant. Question, what kind of camera do you use?

[SDombaj]

jesus christ
