The Humblefisherman - 3 times Golden.

The Humblefisherman catches the same giant westslope Cutthroat trout 3 times over a span of 3 years. First during the filming of fly fishing the black shale in 2009. Next year in 2010 on a return visit with friends. The last year was during a reunion trip with his friend Trouttrek.

How do you know its the same fish?..nice fish all the same :)

[humblefisherman]

@connorjjg Thanks, the spots on a trout are like a finger print. WE put 3 headshots at the beginning to show the progession in size as well as the spotting matrix. The spots line up exactly, not just on the head but over the whole body. We have more photo's on the Humblefisherman facebook page if you want to check em out. Thanks for watchin!

Great video! I saw this at an IF4 showing in Dieppe, New Brunswick.

@fishinNS Thanks!!! Good to hear you caught the show! We watched it on tour here in Calgary! Very cool to watch on the big screen!

Ok...I got to ask...what is that net you are using? I have never seen one before....looks like you ties a couple of sticks together and draped a net between them....did you make it yourself?

[humblefisherman]

@noudo25 Thanks Noudo, It is indeed a self made net, made from a single forked branch. It's a remake from an older version, kinda skinny but slings the fish nicely.

The "best of times" Jay. Nobody will believe this, but in this case, watching you catch this fish was almost as good as catching it myself would have been! Congrats on the IF4 my friend. Great vid & great times to NEVER be forgotten! -trouttrek-

@humblefisherman oh i see...hopefully you get him this year again :P

[pbarre35]

hey, i'm not doubting you, i'm just curious. How can you tell it's the same fish? did it have a specific marking that you noted or something? Amazing fish though!

Just the right 'mid-afternoon between clients' pick-me-up. Especially on a cold Ontario winter day. Thanks Jay.
