 One and only Moose Head Lake. I'm here with Sean and Chubb. We're out here looking for the state record Chubb. I'm a little bit late. The boys have been hammering on them. They got three giant Chubb topside. We got to go get some footage before the eagle comes down and get them because they're laying on top of the ice. I think we finally found a hole. We got a Chubb on. You got a flag up? Yeah. We got a Chubbber on. Last year, if you guys don't remember, I'll show you the clip, but Sean just missed the state record Chubb by a couple ounces. We actually thought we had the state record Chubb and he just missed. We were on our way to the Hannaford brothers to get it weighed up. I showed up just in time for late breakfast. It looks like Sean's got something going on the flat top over here on the short table. It took two hours. It could be things with wind. Look at that, fellas. That's showing up in style right there. This is like when Sean showed up and got Donnie's donuts earlier this year. What do you think, fellas? We're going to have a good week. It's going to be a good one. Chubb's got one. Got high hopes. You got a flag right now, right? I got a flag right now. Let's go get it. That's got a good head shake on it. What do you got there? I don't know. Nothing. It was turning. Oh, my God. Oh, he's coming back. Oh, it is a massive Chubb. He's coming straight in. A massive Chubb. Oh, I don't know, dude. Oh, oh. Wow. Whoa. It's got life. It's got a lot of life. It does have a lot of life. Look at the Chubb up coming up. Wow. Are you going to be able to catch it? I hope so. It's big. It's good. Cool. Come here, you. I don't know if you're skilled enough like this one. Oh, wow, dude. Look at that. Oh, that's a beauty. Oh, my God, dude. Oh, that's beauty. No. No. It's broken. Yeah. Oh, rookie. Yeah. That is a nice rookie. Wow. Beautiful square tail. Oh, man. Smoked it. Wow. That was fighting good. It's not quite the Chubb we wanted. No, God. Dude, did you see that reel? Yeah. That was turning as fast as I think I've seen. That was a nice rookie. Dude. Where is it? Is that your best rookie this year? Oh, yeah. He, I mean, the only other rookie he's caught was that. I actually wanted to. Oh, wow. That's a pretty fish. Look at the markings on it. Dude, look at the halos on that. Yeah. Nice fish, buddy. Yeah, we got a good one there, boys. Nice. Well, we're going to send him back to the drink. One, two, Pikachu. See you later, buddy. Good release. Recycle them in miles. Good fish job. That's what we came here for. Chubb made this video. Yeah, buddy. Well, guys, we're here to catch big Chubbs. Everyone's smiling. You're going to take the rookie when they come. Yeah. We'll catch. We'll take the inadvertents too. Wow. We're setting for Chubbs. We're trying to break the state record on Chubb, but we're right in rookie territory. And, you know, Chubbs had this set up. He missed one earlier. That spooled him pretty good. And he, ho, ho, ho, ho. What do you have on for bait? Worm. He nicely shared the worms. I got plenty of them. No, I bought them. He took them. No, I told you I wanted worms. He won't share them with us. He says he's got plenty, but he doesn't share them. I bought the groceries. You bought the worms. Yeah. I tried to buy the groceries and you were like, go get the worms. Wow, that thing just did a total 180. Oh, it's on there. Oh, yeah. Look at that. Just got all fast up. You guys both just moved the trap, and Chubbs is the only one who caught it. Could be the bait. Them worms like to swim around, you know what I mean? He's probably bait-like. You should use the rubber band trick. Are you going to catch it or what? I don't know. I was going to let him go. There you go. Well, you know he's got it. It's a worm. This is a rookie. Not as big as the last one, but that's my rookie. I'll see if his prediction is correct. Definitely correct. Oh, nice one. He is a nice one. Nice rookie. Dude, come out of there. Yes, sir. Beauty. Come here, you. Oh, yeah. There he's worms. Yeah, definitely worms. He's got that thing. Dude, that almost looks like... He's a little smaller than the last one. Definitely smaller. But he's pretty. Very pretty. Look at the scars on his sides. Oh, yeah. See those? Yeah. Nice. Just moved it. Yeah. See you later, buddy. Chubb's having a day. Yeah. Good day. Sean and I, not so much. I got one chubb, but, you know, that's what it came for. Yeah. He didn't want to mess around with his stupid book, though. Oh, you got another flag up. I know. Throw that freaking castmaster down there. Do it. Might have left him. I got another one here, Sean. Do that castmaster down there. Yeah. This is smaller, dude. Yeah, you got to get rid of this whatever this fish is. Because he keeps tripping it. It's either a freaking little sucker, or little birds, or... Stay right in there. Yeah, that's too big. Here. Put this down there, Sean. He's in there. You see him? You see him, though? I can't see him now, but... No, I saw him come right up to my jig. Really? It happened to be a chubb, wouldn't it? I would think it looked like a chubb. That's what I saw. Like a little eight inch chubb or something? No, it was a pretty good size. Oh, really? I brought all three traps back. Got enough of it over there? Yeah. Well, if we're going to be over there jigging... That's a stretcher, though. Too far. You know when your cover's on? I'm going to go set some traps. What about you? Are you moving any more? I'm all in. I've got those three. One there. Got one more. I can put it in. There he is. Good job. Good to get him out of there. Yes! Got him! Finally. Oh, he liked that. What's that? That was that little cast master. That's a nice little chubb. Yeah. I'll battle the jig rods. There. That'll take care of that flag for a little while. There's the next one. Gets us on the chubb board. Nice one. The pike bait. Oh, God. Big cusk bait. Head jaker? That's a head jaker. Oh, nice dude. Smasher. Nice. Oh, look at that trout. Look at that stave and brookie. Just barely got him hooked. Nice. Look at that. Wow, that's a nice one. Thanks, buddy. There. Nice. Dude. Sweet brookie. Nice. No showing. Nice trout. Thank you. Look at that beautiful brookie. Look at the colors on it. Yeah, that is a nice one. Nice. All right. We are whacking some good brookies. Nice. Moose Head Lake is showing out right now. Yeah, that would be a good one. Yeah, look at how much he took. Wow. Nice. Did you see that that flag was up? I did. I just, I was, I just glassed. Oh, was he? Yeah, and then I see you come out of the cove and I'm like, oh. Yeah, I came on it. That was Moose Tracks. Was it? Yeah, those are all Moose Tracks. So I was following the moose out. Moose. Wow. I'd say I'd, I'd hate to leave brookies to find brookies because I don't know, it seems like there's some nice brookies in here, you know what I mean? Maybe she already made her own trip ahead. This one don't wear them too. I was just saying to him when you. She rolled. I just said to him when you were riding off, it's like that Ice Age movie when he's like, it's the last dandelion. You know what I mean? No, I don't. What? I don't see that. Say, I don't have kids. Well, he was saying like, you know, look at that baby rolling. They don't, they don't see worms this time. Yeah, they could smell them. They might want something that's not moving too. You know what I mean? Yeah. Look at that baby not rolling. It was. It was doing it. Oh, we're getting this nice prefront bike going. This is it. Turned around. This might be our best value of the week. This could be just in half day. We only put it in half day. That was a nice one. Oh, yeah. So we're out here on Moosehead guys. I'm going to show you how close we are to shore. This is shore right here. And it could be, it could be as little as a foot, not even a foot of water underneath my snowmobile. So we're fishing brookies, meaning we're fishing close to shore. And we're catching them all on worms today. Where is the bite? Chubs opened up the secret. Sometimes I try. He's letting it out of the bag. But Sean's here to slay chubs. We're really looking for big chubs. Just massive chubs. We missed the state record last year by less than half a pound. So he's back with a vengeance. Well, we'll keep trying guys. But we're starting to figure it out. When you have about 12 smelt out and three worms, and the worms are the only ones you're catching them on, it might be time to change everything over to worms. I had a pretty hot tip that was, brookies are eating worms. Where did you get that tip? A friend of a friend of a friend. You got friends? A couple. All right. Not many, but. Dude, what is that? You're banned on that one. Oh my God, look at that. Boyland. Whoa. Good one? Whoa. You know why. Whoa. Oh, it just turned. Oh, did I just lose it? No way. It's coming at me. Whoa. Whoa. Good fish. Whoa. I'll get him in it. It feels chubby. It's big. Oh, nice. Not a nice brookie. Wow. Wow. Wormin. Wormin. Wormin. Wormin. We are. We are Wormin. Another 18, 20 inch. All right, guys. We are smashing the brookies here on Moose Head. This is number four for the day. Yeah. In a half day. Yeah. And once Chubb's figured out that, we were going to catch them on worms. That's what we've been doing. Dude, smoker. That other one's right on the band. Yeah. Katoos. Got it? Nice, dude. Nice. Send them back for the folks at home. Oh, backwards. See you later. There you go. Nice. Nice. Yeah. All right. We are recycling files over here guys. Yeah. All right. So I guess I got another one. Yeah. We got another flag up. It's bouncing off the band right now. Band's in session? Yeah. Pretty much. Sweet. All right, guys. So this one, I used, I was cusp fishing last, and I used rubber bands when I'm cusp fishing. Oh yeah. Whoa. Good one. Whoa. A little bit of weight there. I used rubber bands, cusp fishing. I gave him about 25 feet and then snubbed him up. So that way he couldn't get me hung up and then break off, you know, in the dry guy. But this is a heavy fish. It's either heavy or it's got something with it. No head shakes yet. So it might be chubby. This might be the chub we're looking for guys. This could be it. Big fish. I'll tell you that. Oh. Oh yeah. Oh my God, dude. That is amazing. Wow. Oh my God. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Dude, that's a good one. That's a nice brookie. Yeah. He's still got a lot of fight. Wow. Yeah, that's a really nice brookie. Wow. Nice one. This is number five for the day. And that's a corker of a brookie. Yeah, that's a good one. Nice native mane. That's the first one we've got on a smelt. We'll see if I can get that smelt back out. Dude, that's a nice one. That's a staver. Yeah, that's a really good one. Thank you rubber band man. Right? Without the rubber band. Yeah. That fish is probably under over rocks in the dry sky. I'd never tried it with brookies, but I was like, you know what, I've broken off so many times here and got hung up so many times. Remember when I had to go on to my shoulder? Up to the teeth. Yeah, teeth. Yeah. The wet teeth technique. I said, well, let's band them up. Oh yeah. Look at that thing. Yeah baby. Fight that man. That was a good one. Yeah. Look at that. Wow. Wow. That's got really, that's a pretty one. That's got the red fins. Yeah. That's where it's at. He's got them not tied around his entire body chubs. Oh no. If I could just get him behind the plate. I don't hit the gills when I do this. No, that one's nice. You see it? I don't mind confident if it goes there. No, you'd have to pull a little bit. I don't even see where to start, do you? Yeah, right there. Oh yeah. There it is. Pretty easy actually. I think you got a pretty good look at it. Yep, you got it. Nice. Definitely got to get a picture of that one. Oh yeah. Try to get this line down. Dude, wicked dark mouth too. Yeah. Yeah, sure it is. Yeah. But it's wide, you know. Like it hit that 20 inches and then started getting wide. All right. What a beautiful fish, huh? Send him back for another smile. Recycling smile. Topside down. He was able to turn. Nice. Sweet. We got five big brookies topside. Oh, is he still in the hole? He's, dude. Wow, what a day we're having. Yeah. Not bad for a half day. No. Not bad for a travel day. Dude. Crazy. Hard to leave trout to find trout. You know what I mean? Wow, that was awesome. Dude, that was a good one. Yeah. Got him on the rubber band. All the folks at home, that rubber band. So he's got like 25 feet to eat the bait and then he's going, going, going, going. Oh, then he hits that rubber band and it goes just like that. And he fights against that rubber band. So he's got tension at all times and he can't spool you and he can't wrap you up at that point unless he can wrap you up within that 25 feet. So that's the rubber band trick. I never really used it for brook trout. But I can't say that after today. So yeah, it definitely worked. And it probably really caught that fish. Oh. And it might have saved that fish's life actually too. Because if you, if you hang a fish like that. You wouldn't have the other flag for you in this one. Yeah. I caught that other fish first. So. All right, Sean. Next flag's yours no matter what. I don't care if it's mine or Chubb's. Yeah. Are you going to let me take all your tracks? Absolutely. I got two nice ones. Yeah, dude. So yeah. So we're fishing, we're fishing brook trout. Chubs. Sean's fishing chubs. Chubs and I are fishing brook trout. And I'll show you what we're doing is we got about three and a half foot of water here. There's shore right there. And just by going up there and looking like we did earlier, it's really gravelly. And then you, you, you can look down the hole if there's no slush in the hole. And you can see there's a really nice gravelly base and there's a couple of stream runoffs coming out of the woods. So all of those are just really good things to look for if you're trying to catch brook trout here in Moose Head Lake. Just look for where streams come in, look for gravelly banks and look for rocky points. And right where the rocks and the gravel meet are usually a really good recipe to try to catch yourself one of the best brookies of your life. But yeah, that's a, it's a really good day. We're pre-front and that probably has something a lot to do. You got one? That has a lot to do with why they're biting so good today. I think is, is that we got a front rolling in. Usually that turns the fish on pretty good. Which one is it? That one again. Ooh. All right. I'm going to get this back. Sean's got a flag up at that one that was just running pretty good. And we're going to give Sean a chance to catch one today. Maybe you'll get the chub you're looking for. I don't know. Put it where I'm on there. It's all you buddy. This one's rubber banded. Oh, this is the band. It's all slashed off. I didn't see, I didn't clean the slush. Hopefully it's at the band. No, maybe. It's a worm. Fish? It was patched up on something. Is it on the ice? Does it hang out? Yeah. On the ice or? I'll get you a skimmer. Let me know if it frees up. Free up. There you go. There you go. Get it? Still on? Yeah. Look at that. Oh, you got a brookie. All right. Nice. You're on the board. Look at that fish. Staven brookie. Sean got a staven brookie. You want to get that hook? I don't care. It's right there. We need a camera. Is that a brookie? Yeah. I'm attached to you. Brookie, I've never seen Sean get this light. Got him? Yeah. He couldn't even get to the band. Oh, my God, dude. Look at that. Oh, yeah. Hold it this way for the light, dude. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Nice one, Staven. Hold it out. Hold it way out there. Make it look real good. You think that's native? Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure. Dude, look at the tail on that. You know they come in a bigger size, right? Hey, he's on the board. That's all that matters. Is that my trap? Oh, I'm checking it. Is he coming to pick it up? Going. You going? Staven, job. He's laying right down to the hole. We got to get jumped with that same fish. You hooked him good. I just threw it in. I didn't know you were coming right to this trap. Yo, take it. I already got three. You got two. Go, go, go. Go, go. Is it going? It went. Huh? It went. It's going. It's going. Still going. Oh, oh, it's there. It's there. Oh, yeah. Good one. Oh, nice one. Oh, my God, dude. Wow. Nice one. What? You caught that. You cheap son of a bitch. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. It's dead. It returns. Dude, it is. Dude, that was one of them. That was awesome. What do you think of him? He wouldn't even know the fact. Oh, good. It doesn't get much better. No. Oh, good. Just like McDonald's. Oh, better. You got this in the background. Chubbs is watching the premiere of the Chuzunga show. Chubbs, come try these Cust Nuggets. Dude, we're watching the Joe Holland premiere. I can't, I can't waste time eating Cust Nuggets when I'm watching the Joe Holland premiere. Oh, it's not a waste. I promise. Here, I'll bring them over to you. No, stay right there. Stay right there. Give that, drive a couple of remedies and see what's good. Dude, that one looks hot. Oh, yeah, it might be hot. Edible? Phenomenal. Is that not the best fish you've ever had in your life? Dude, you're watching a Joe Holland video. And you're in one. I'm watching a Joe Holland video. I can't be bothered right now. You're watching one, you're in one, and you're eating Cust Nuggets. What could be better? From the video you're watching. Yeah, that's actually true. Yeah, good call. God, what is happening in the pockets? Dude, those are phenomenal. Right? I think these are done too. It's like chicken nuggets. Yeah, but it's even more tender than chicken. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like chicken nuggets, but even better than chicken nuggets. There's no, there's definitely no fish in there. All right, this is the last of the Cust Nuggets until we catch some. I don't know how many we're going to catch on this trip. Well, Sean caught one fishing for brook trout the one time last year. Yeah, I know how to catch a daytime cast. Yeah, he's pretty good at it. No, we are going for a statewide brook trout massive limits. Are we going for more brookies tomorrow? What are we doing? Absolutely. We are at the, at the biggest brook trout fishery in the state of Maine. Arguably. Okay, well, that's what Joe has to say. Oh, biggest lake. That's hard to beat Chamberlain. For brook trout? Yeah. I saw five of them tonight. Bigger than anything. Well, comparable. Which, Yeah, I know. I never saw any on Chamberlain that big. But I'm sure they're out there. We had a, wow, wow, wow. Last year we caught, yeah, those just came out, wow. I mean, last year I had a day on Chamberlain and I think I caught 17 big over 18 inches in one day. Yeah, that size? Yeah. But they don't get the four to eight pounders like they do here. I think honestly, Like I've said a hundred times, you don't leave fish to catch fish. That's the rule of tournament fishing. You don't leave deer to find deer. Yeah, but we're not deer hunting. You don't leave moose to find moose. You know what I mean? You did. What? I haven't heard them come out in five minutes. Time's up moose. It's time out, time to go. Is that moose time to go? I fish wherever we want to go but I know where we did. I don't know where we're at today. I got no problem going back in that same area. That doesn't look like salmon. That's salmon. It's just a baby. This is smoked salmon. Donnie smoked this salmon. You guys will see the full video on that coming up. But this is smoked salmon from Chazun Cook Lake. Smoked with pure maple syrup. Apple, is it good? Holy smokes, that's good. Sweet. Very sweet. Wow, that is good. Real sweet, no fishy taste. Holy smokes. Custnuggets. I know but this is like egg, flour. Yeah, a secret recipe. I can't tell you. Don't starve him. Yeah. But even if you weren't, you'd still eat that. Oh yeah. It's pretty not bad. I need that. That's good. Real good. What are you cooking? Gare steak and potatoes? Oh my lord. This is the night. This is the big boy. This is the first time I've had any of this steak actually. Really? Me too. I think we're about there. Cooking on the old black stone. Still a little bit of breakfast on there. We never cleaned it off. John shot a monster of a deer. Wait until you guys see a picture of this. I'll put it on here for you. 158 in the corner. 158. 158. That's the score of the rack. That's not the pounds. It was 197 pounds dressed. 196, 197. I probably wouldn't have shot it. I would have let it walk. But I mean, seeing the rack on it. I only shoot 200 pounders. But what happened was he was sitting in a stand and he was playing Mario card on his phone. And he was winning so he got excited. And this deer walked out and he shot it. Plus he had to work the next day. So he called Chubs. It was Chubs' only day off for the whole summer. And he called Chubs to get over here. I need help getting this thing. It is pretty sad that I actually got it at his deer farm. You've got it all at his deer farm. Not all of them. But when they come close, they know who to call. He cut too much out. He cut too much out. Didn't make 200. I need to cut up. I'm going to slice and then think about this long. No joke, dude. Do you think it was 200? Oh yeah. Well, I was When I dragged that thing I had to drag it up and back. We had to drag it in the back of its pick up. And I was the deer. Oh yeah. Alright guys, that's one heck of a meal. We've got farm raised potatoes from Sean. We've got organic free range deer meat from Sean. And we've got organic free range cussed meat, cussed nuggets. And then we've got Oats Potato chips from Hanover, Pennsylvania. You work on them. Sean and I work on this stuff. We're going to eat from nature's grocery store. Pretty darn good for the whole night. Yeah, wait until you see this buck Sean shot. It was in the top two or three in Maine, right? They don't come very much bigger. We don't know. I've seen two this year that was court higher. But it's definitely I'm going to guess the top 10 from the stage. It's got to be. Yeah, they don't get much bigger than that. I've never seen a rack like that. Me either. But we are back. Sean caught the water. Absolutely amazing half day of brook trout fishing. Chubs is ecstatic. He doesn't get a chance to fish very much. So just getting them on fish in that caliber was incredible today. They were beautiful, beautiful trout. Sean caught a monster at the end of the day. I mean, we're talking Sean's day is tomorrow, but we're about to eat dinner. I'll show you the place where we're staying. We're staying with indoor plumbing. I think for me this year might be the first time for me this year, actually. I told that. I think it actually is with indoor plumbing. We better watch out. So this is the place. Sean rented this place last year and it's completely renovated. It's a beautiful place on moose head or near enough. But we got bedrooms, bathrooms, closets, eating area. Got a heater over here. Got a kitchen over here. None of this was where it is now. They got it the whole place. Last year was real campy. The floor was moving. The ceiling moved. And they did a lot of work. I can't believe it. It was more than I expected to walk in though. But pretty awesome. So we're going to leave right from here in the morning right and early. We might go back the same area. I don't know if you can... You don't leave fish to find fish. I'm just saying that lightning can't strike twice either. We're going to look at the wind first. We've got a nor'easter coming in. And we'll make a play. I don't know if we're going to fish brookies the whole week. I really don't care what we catch. This lake has got a great lake trout population with some giants. Great cusk population. Incredible salmon fishing at some points in some places. And it's got some perch and some good bass too. So, you know, we're happy with catching anything. And it's also got the world-class chub fishery that Sean's known to target. Oh my god. Best in the state. He was so excited to catch that first one. Yeah, we missed that on video. Chubb of the day, he said, oh my god, we found what we were looking for. The first one. So that's the story. We're going to sit down, eat some dinner. We'll let you know how it goes. And we'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for tuning in guys. Really appreciate all the support with the comments, the likes, the subscribes, all that stuff.
