Oh, I know When you're fishing you got to be you guys seeing any fish Just a few white fish. Yeah Small trout caught release Yeah Been slow. I thought it was gonna be a good day a lot of action, but yeah, not been pretty slowly It's about to change though. You see shut that damn Are they going up? He's heading right down now Yeah, so as soon as he shuts that it's gonna back her up and game on maybe it's like the tide just turned fish the tides So after you guys laugh my buddy got into a pile of lake trout last night Yeah, just past that last trap he caught five Ranging from eighteen to twenty four let them all go Yeah Yeah, just jigging Yeah, cuz they make it to the train. Yeah, he and I my other buddy and I did it was awesome Was it just a good incredible? He must enjoyed that it blew his mind Yeah, cuz like seeing how far we are from civilization and like I really let it into it. He was so pumped Yeah, he couldn't believe it. Yeah In the tramway to you know Good into the it wasn't bad. Yeah. Yeah, we kind of we went to lock down then got on And stayed on the shore until that last bay and then we just hammered down Trailer around a Indian pond. Yeah. Yeah, you kind of have to now as far as I'm concerned. Are you guys running? Chamberlain at all Trevor just came by and told us how bad it was this morning I guess Did you see that ribbon out there where my buddy fell in I see the ribbon. I didn't know who he went for a swim Not a not on accident. We cut a hole with a saw and he took a plunge Yeah, we had a bet this morning. We had that little snow dog out here We had a racetrack and the loser had to go in so we made sure he we made sure he lost I Might as well cook some of these call-ups up you guys would eat some of them wouldn't you look at that bag of scallops This is a service that the state of Maine offers is they will come out when you catch a fish and gut it for you When we first started doing the No size of bag women on the lake We said people That a pot of a winner to kind of convince folks that you know, you know, 13 12 13 inch lake trout. We wanted to remove So we would take you caught me if you do One, you know, and there was 25 days you did all of them. You didn't pick and choose which one so a couple years of that there was one crew that You know, they had they were they were killers They had a bunch of fish today. So this one year I pulled up in the ladies like you Are you still, you know, taking the stomachs and stuff because you take all you want. I said, well Budget crunches. I said do it is we're charging 10 cents a piece now. She goes clean them all Clean them all, she says That's awesome Oh my gosh So this one didn't have anything in it It did have looking at it. It looked like it probably some digested smell You know, but when we open each one up, we'll go through and if you can't discern what the actual Food item they watch species whether it was a shinier or a smell we just identified as a general fish remains Okay, really so but Looking for insects Is that all fat like this white? Yep. Wow. Isn't that amazing? Very good shape It seemed like there was a lot of fat even in the meat on that one we cooked yesterday. Really? Yeah Like like on those little lines, you see, I don't know if it looked like it was fatty We've seen a few few of the lake trapping. I mean, this is only my second weekend up, but I can't see it I've actually seen a skinny what I thought was real real skinny. They look really good. Yeah, look at all that fat. That's crazy Yep, you could cook without fat Nice Yeah, you guys seeing any big cask at all Cask, what have we seen? We've seen them up to 20 inches this year probably. Yeah, so not much. Nothing nothing to the right home about I'd like to target I I'm gonna try chazun cook a little bit later in the year And I want to do like a video where it's like 10 pounds or nothing not leave until I get a 10 pounder on the ice It's awesome big ones last year over there. Really? Yeah really big But and then maybe just if I bring donnie on that trip We'll put the salmon. We'll stack some salmon up. Is it still no limit? Yeah, uh, no bag limit under I'm sorry. What's that on salmon over there? That's his uncook. Yep. Yep. Yeah, no size of bag under still encouraging harvest Yeah, I harvest the last year felt weird keeping that nine inch freaking salmon It was like this and I'm like am I really going to keep that I like I guess I got It was weird. I'm not gonna lie I know we had a hard time that that first year on moosehead, but it made a big difference It really did the guys I talked to that are like historically fished as uncook said It was nothing if you had a trip to catch a 24 25 inch or back in the day And they said now you can't get through the little ones Yeah So like how did that happen just over regulation or just not enough people fishing part of it? They they did they did have a regulation on the board This is Before me, but they did have back in that in those days when they were getting a lot of those bigger, you know bigger salmon they I think it was still a 14 inch length limit. They went to a 16 And along with that they kind of feel that they did kind of protect a little bit more So basically you were getting an extra That salmon you had it held on to it for another year Pretty much and all what they what they had Uh, you know, you had to feed them for another year the first day. So that kind of put a little bit of pressure At the same time There was a lot of use coming from the milanocket area. Yeah, I mean everything That just completely dropped off, you know, whatever so Basically, and it was a time not just it just uncooked but everywhere that use just started declining Now use was kind of at its peak people were killing fish, you know harvest was good So the numbers were probably a bit lower. So you had a little better growth. Yeah Once that kind of so it went away or whatever and the numbers increased I put the pressure on the forage base and you just get Poor quality was more smaller salmon Basically what it kind of amounted to and it happened Relatively short period of time you take a wild system like that It's really hard. It's just kind of what we had at moosehead with a lake trout It's a little wild system. It was stocked water. You could just ratchet back the number that you're putting in and kind of get that right With those wild systems, I mean they gotta keep You know reproducing It's hard to break the ship kind of so All right guys, don't be shy Thank you. Oh my god, Joe Thank you Appreciate it. This is something else. You might never get this again Haha, dig in. Don't be shy either. We got plenty more. I think they're all cooked. Do they cook pretty good? They need to be cooked anymore Okay, I tried to rotate them through We're pretty fast Pretty darn good, aren't they? You guys come get our fish we'll feed you these any time We'll be back in an hour, right? We'll have more He mounted a white perch for me That could have been a record really. Yeah, I was in a bass tournament. I was on wasa keg a fish wasa keg probably 100 times in my life ever caught a white perch ever ever And I caught one in 36 foot of water on a boulder where I catch smallmouth Sat and I'm like, oh my god, there's a giant smallmouth Fought it for like a long time get it up and my buddy and I just started dying laughing because it was a white perch Right, so I throw it in the well to eat it Well, I think I let it go, but I pulled it up too quick. It couldn't get down. So I tried to fizz it I couldn't fizz it. So I threw it in the well I was like, I'm gonna eat that thing. We weighed it at eight hours later died right off weighed it eight hours later, and it was three pounds Four ounces or something like that Which is like the world record Is like three pounds four ounces, but the state records like three pounds eight ounces I don't know how yeah, that's it. It's like I don't know how Yeah, so I didn't do anything record wise with it like but I got at home And I started to put the knife into it And I was like, you know, I only had one and I was like I will never catch one this big because I catch big white perch down where I live like good like 15s and less this was 17 inches long And I can't I think it was 15 around does that sound right? I think it was 17 by 15 And uh, so I just called Roger because it's like 10 bucks an inch and I'm like for under 200 bucks I can have this mounted. I've never had a fish mounted all the fish I've caught all over the world And I've never and I got a white perch mounted at a wasp good Yeah, and it could have been the the record. Yeah, but I looked at the I looked at the old state record White perch in the main state museum, and it's a freaking largemouth bass Have you seen that? Yeah, it was like back then it was like the It was four pounds two ounces with the state record white perch from 1951 or something They got it mounted in the museum and it's freaking out Because it was probably federally stocked largemouth or or or smallmouth federal the fed stock stuff They stocked a bunch of stuff. They stock stuff. It's unbelievable. Some of the record back in like the late 18 early 1900s Pacific sand Oh, really? Yeah in lakes and yeah inland waters. They never it was like a one-time stock and they never took Whoa Yeah, did people like get them and eat them out or did they just it's hard to say like all we have is it is a record that they That they were stocked. It was the called federal fish commission back then. Wow Whoa And I've actually done them a little bit of not research, you know on that But it's just how in the world that during that time was it like eggs or fry or And they actually had fish cars on Trains that were they were in in water probably milk in they would change the water up With like ice to keep it cool So with those have been like Alaskan or or like Oregon, I'm not sure I'm really I'm really not sure They were kind they were like a Pacific Trying to think if they were like a coho Think it was coho. Wow. That's like the the silver salmon. Yeah I'd done some research doing it was fascinating On like brown trout in Maine like the history of brown trout in Maine started back in like Maybe like 1880 or something like that and we'd made a trade with Germany And I can't remember if we sent them like landlock salmon or what we sent them The first was a trade and and then the state was like against brown trout all of a sudden And then they bought them again or traded again. It was something it was fascinating though like 10 years later They were like brown trout are too hard to catch because back then it wasn't about like sport It was about feeding the people, you know, because times were tough And that's why like small mouth are in Maine Is because they were put in just to feed people and it was railroad cars So like back if you look at the original railroads where they crossed water Usually is a small mouth body water because they would just dump them off the railroads And it was just to feed people. Yeah, and that a lot of that was around and after the depression too Yeah, and there was there was times where it bit some of the record said I'm not sure if it was greenville, but it would come in like to We'll say greenville junction or whatever the train came in X number of fry given to locals You don't know where they went. Yeah That is fooling It's definitely it's making butter churning butter making power and it just stopped I'm not bowling you it's going in It's either a giant fall fish or a lake or or the six pound brookie we're looking for I got you. I did. Yeah, it's just off You're gonna hit him This thing was running yes, sir Whoa shallow lake Feels like this is pretty good way There's a lot of grass that direction Sure I'm low battery if you don't mind hurrying up Oh Are we switched over I hope that's a brookie. It might be a lake or all sorts of fight. That's a brookie Look at the colors on that. Keep it over. Let them go. I'm gonna let them go. You guys need a measurement or anything You want to cut it? Yep. Y'all a good job. Got a good pick. Yeah All right, buddy. Good job. What do you guys think? Was that a good release? Good good release guys Nice job, honey.

So Loaded him up got a stuff off the ice got him all loaded up back on the road So turned a really terrible day into a little bit easier day for him, which is What we need to do for each other out here guys But I ended up fishing with Mike and Stevie awesome time Really sad to see Pat and Dudley leave Had a blast with those guys all week Dudley Came in a little bit before Pat had a great time with him Introducing him to main. He's definitely an honorary mainer after this week And welcome back anytime Really empty in here a lot more room in here. I got his bed his sleeping pad sleeping bag all ready to go out Get rid of a chair a couple other things. I'll have a ton more room in here Not sure what I'm gonna do tomorrow. I'm thinking about maybe Putting the electronics to use and going after those lake trout And trying to shoot like a really cool video for you guys and have a lot of fun on them Or I might go for a ride I heard we got a storm coming that could be between eight and 13 inches of snow So we'll kind of see how that goes and see what position we're in tomorrow But that's gonna do it for today. I'm gonna do a little read and I am absolutely pooped Zonked out exhausted. So I don't think I'm gonna get far in the book tonight Thanks for tuning in guys. Look forward to the next one You
