Big River Fly Fishing for GIANT Smallmouth Bass

A weekend fishing plan never really goes as expected and this trip was nothing short of that. Sometimes you have to make an audible and hope for the best. This trip, we did just that.

Apologies for some of the audio cracking. Tested out a new mic on this trip and I’m still getting it figured out. It’ll be dialed in future videos. Anyways, hope y’all enjoy ✌🏻

The level of optimism in the size of CJ's net is what this world needs more of.

Fisheries biologist checking in here confirming your carp was a quillback. Notoriously hard to get to eat. No doubt smacked it in the face. Fun battle either way!

Seldom have I ever clicked so fast on a video. Appalachian + Smallmouth = You have my attention.

Never had a wildfly video disappoint. Love it guys! Got me hooked on fly fishing and now I can’t stop ✌️keep it up!

Great edits and pace of the video. I can’t wait to get to fish the Jackson

You are becoming the premier flyfishing videographer! Great to see a collab with CJ again.

Great scenery, especially that where the smallmouth were caught. A dream come true.

The “carp” at 10:07 is a quill back carp. We stalk them like bone fish on sand flats, Lower Wisconsin River. They form a chain along the banks during the spawn. 2-10 fish thick shoulder to shoulder for 100’s of yards. Cool fish.

AWSOME!!!! Reminds me of the flambeau river in Wisconsin! Great job!

[stephenbrody]

Cool video. Hard to watch your videos and not fever to go at least throw a flu line let alone fish. Great truly happy energy you dudes give off when fishing. Reminds me it is more about getting out with friends and family and creating your own adventures. I know a lot of work goes into editing so thank you.

Wow man talk about some beautiful places... especially the first one. Awesome video as always, CJ is a wealth of knowledge.

[rdmann]

Always love your videos. Some how you always make me feel like I’m there with you. Wish I was.

Whenever I watch a Wild Fly video, I start by liking it and then I watch it. I’m really liking all the new content, man. Keep it up!

3:00 KILLER EDIT, man scotty you're gettin GOOD 🔥

[russcassady]

Could watch fly fishing for smallies all day long — rather be doing it, but in lieu of that, I'll live vicariously through y'all until I can get on the water. LOL. Another excellent video.

Loved the mix of trout and smallies! Great video as always 🔥🎣

[hhoutdoors]

Have you ever thought about doing a video or podcast with Allegheny Natives? Y’all have similar story telling, experiential videos and y’all are both super chill. I think it would be a great collaboration!

[tavsnow]

Awesome video! Fairly certain that carp was a quillback tho! Pretty similar but a bit more rare, at least where I’m from.

I'm about the trout but those smallies were insane!!
