Overnight Wild Trout Catch and Cook in Remote Wilderness 

Watching you catch grass hoppers takes me back to being a kid, maybe 35 years ago. My brother and I going out and catching a bunch of flying grasshoppers for bait. Then, going fishing with dad. Good times. 😁 Thanks for another great video. I love your content. Keep it up.

Haven’t tuned in for years. I miss watching your videos cause they were always calming

Am chillin having a beer and watching the video 👍👌

I died laughing! Is there a grasshopper limit. The fish hope not. They're hungry

Great video, as someone who is from here in the Sierra’s and fishes here regularly I really did enjoy seeing you release the larger rainbow. Gotta keep the sport alive for the next generation!

“I’ll have to use my sock. It’s clean just so you know” bahahaha gave me a good chuckle 😂

When I get your new post alert, you become like the dessert after a meal. I watch you at work during downtime and always a great show. I always say to myself, "please let him catch a fish today"

This reminds me of a trip I took 30 years ago to the mountains of the Wind River Indian range in Wyoming. Fly fishing there was a once in a lifetime experience. Beautiful fish!

Saw that you posted a new video this AM and I knew it will be a good day. Reminded me of fishing with my dad around Bridgeport: Robinson Creek and Twin Lakes. Nice memories. Thank you Matt.

Aw man what a start to today. First Xander budnick uploads then fisherman’s life. Hell yea

This vid was so simply special...thank you for posting

Beauty of a trout! Getting me excited for steelhead season!

Fastest click of my life. Love the catch and cooks

SATURDAY JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT BETTER!!!! THANK YOU!!!!

thank you for doing what you do! It brings me so much peace seeing you live your best life

Hey bud, Just moved here from TX and back there we call those Cave Crickets! Nice Fish!

💛...i always carry a small green plastic and mesh cricket cage, from the bait shop or wallymart... it allows ventilation and longer life for the crickets or grasshoppers... crickets can be bought at some pet stores too... a couple dollars worth usually lasts two or three days... grasshoppers are free, but not always available...i use the clear bubble in lakes and streams and fish seem to find it on top without problem... as long as they kick and disturb the surface, they seldom fail to work...

The grasshopers have an exoskeleton band near the front legs on their back. If you run the hook through that they'll live longer.

Man, catching bugs for bait brings back so many memories.

Crickets! Some habits never die!

When I was a kid I lived in Idaho and northern Cali in the 70’s and 80’s and grasshoppers were almost all I ever used for bait for trout. Almost always guaranteed a bite! My second choice in the rivers was just a single salmon egg on an eagle claw hook with a split shot or two and would just chick it into those holes behind boulders. Friken good times! This takes me back! Live in WA now and mostly fish lakes for trout and the beach for salmon. Thanks for the vid! 😁

Great Video, every time I see one of your video's I wish I was there.. Thanks for posting 😃 👍

9:42 the trick to catching trout was calling them grasshoppers crickets. Trout loves crickets more than grasshoppers.

Love watching these, looks so serene. I would catch grasshoppers all the time as a kid, but they met a much worse fate than the ones you released. 😁Love your content!

What a lovely place to fish!! My only concern is where is your piece???!! That's how people get mauled💯 your usually pretty good about having it on your side bud, don't be slipping! Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙

Nice adapting from Sunset city life to heaven Matts. I havent been to your Fishermans Life fair in a couple of years . Still suffering with the bad back you and i talked about the last time. Hope to run into you again at the next one. Enjoy Gods country!

Awesome video Matts. Thank you

Watching Matt cook makes Taku's skin crawl.🤣

Hey, that's my backyard 🤘🏻🤠

I've enjoyed your content for years. This is the first time I've ever seen you take a dive in fresh water. For some reason it made me remember making coffee using my cotton shirt as the filter. It was horrible, but I learned something. If you're going into the water with your clothes, make sure your clothes don't have soap or fabric softener residues. The residues come off in the water and ruin the fishing because the flavor of them is strooong in the water. I imagine a fish would get it even more. My siblings and I used to hunt red and yellow snappers every year. We'd shoot em with our bb guns and throw 'em in the compost.

Grasshopper never failed

Wow I just come to see a vid an get to see a fresh upload what a treat 🎉😊

been a long time fan, trout videos in these beautiful locations r my fav

13:22 “Come, check this out with me” felt like he grabbed my shoulder and actually took me with him

I’ve been subscribed to you for years on a different account, just realized I wasn’t subscribed on this one! You just earned another sub!

Nice video as always Matts! My son seems to have taken a liking to fishing - I need to show him some of your vids! And, Donatello!!???!?! Leo or Raph for me!

already can tell its a banger of a vid

Awesome video, I always enjoy your content! And yes, crickets are the best bait..ooh I mean Grasshoppers 😂

Looking like your perfecting your fishing techniques fun to watch great video

Best click choice of the week for this viewer right here my ladies and gents !!❤

There's no way I could go to bed without stuffing my face LOL

Nice job. Next week try a water bobber, ( a bobber you put water inside, for casting weight ) and try a small jig instead of a hook. Can't be beat.

I always click on your new videos because I really get a laugh at your buffoonery. You are not embarrassed at all at your ignorance and inexperience. I love it. By the way….a cricket is black. Just saying. Keep posting. You are very entertaining.

Thank you for living the dream for us mere mortals.

Patience young grasshopper....I mean Matts! Lol Nice video and nice catch. I'm sure the trout tasted great. Btw, if you should ever find yourself some down time, watch an old Sci-fi movie "The Beginning of the End" with Peter Graves starring. Those 8'-10' grasshoppers will probably get even! Lol enjoy.😅

Cool video, thanks for sharing.

You should pick up a cricket cage for those hoppers and crickets. Keeps em in good shape until you use them. Oh, hook them through the collar .

nice trout beautiful country good video

Bro my eyes got sea sick but it was cool ride Thank you for all you do Awesome videos !

Awesome video! Miss the shots you had in the past where it zoomed in on the bobber going down or when the rod tip would be triggered.

Always a good watch

Use your net and slowly lift up the stones, crawdads/crayfish only come out at night. They spend all day under the stones. Put your net in front of the rock as you lift. Lift slowly so the water does not get too muddy. THANKS MATZ!

17:04 ninja turtle just sitting there! lol

Excellent catch and cook!

You should get a bug net! And just sweep back and forth over plants a bunch, and you're guaranteed to catch a bunch of cool bugs including lots of grasshoppers

the facial expressionn loll you know it hit the spot

I can tell in this video you didn't feel like your self but l love you and the videos dispet the f up feeling you was feeling it happens two everyone but you pulled thew that's why your the man and everyone is on board with you

Donatello approved of that trout fosho, great video!!

You should just call them cricket hoppers. Great video.

Man i love these spots that you find. I’m here in San Jose, I feel like this place looks a little familiar!

Hey Matts!!!!, Back to crickets instead of grasshoppers. You crack me! Blessings from the desert southwest. K.T.

It’s late in the season. We normally hit the river around August. That smallmouth is good eating, you’re missing out.

Nice u made it to fourth bridge.

Man you need to start adding some onions, garlic, etc into your food that would have been amazing with that. Great video as always tho!!

Damn that looks appetising

I want to do this type of trip some weekend but the wife is scared for me ahhahaha

Living the dream!!

When are the crab snares coming back?🤙🤙🤙

Look at all them crickets. lol

live crickets is killer on the Redding/Anderson Sac river area!!!

Crickets are usually black or dark brown, and their jumping legs are a lot smaller than the one you have in your hand.

U gotta come visit the big horn river in Montana, I guide here and I’d take u out any Monday or Tuesday and put u on some 20+” fish all day.

Heck yeah love the vids

Hey matts. I know where you are at buddy. I wont say though. It is my stomping ground. I cought a 21 1/2 inch brown up there last December on a camping trip with my dad. Anyhow thanks for the kick ass videos.

the two with long legs are katydids. crickets are fat and black with brown wings, they usually hide under rocks too

Subbed for the snake facts! Your energy is contagious man. Keep up the great work! PM me if you want to hit up some fishing spots in the central Sierras

The big hopper you caught was an armored cricket

You're more a man than me. I can't stand touching grasshoppers! lmao

The big ones, with points out on the butt, those are cricket. The ones with wings, those are grasshopper.

Bro you're making me so hungry!!

is the limit to grasshoppers ? 🤣🤣🤣

Going to the Adirondacks to do the same thing next weekend.

Grasshoppermans life grasshopper catch n cook 😆😆

Hate to say this man but I was over there a little while ago, I must've caught everything in the area.

lol ,right on Mat :)

How do you like fresh water fishing vs salt? I personally think the best combo would be freshwater fishing but with saltwater fish in it. I LOVE moving around the terrain trying to get to spots! Ocean fishing gets boring to me because of the lack of terrain but the FISH in saltwater are exponentially better.

Katydid. That’s what you have there. Looks like a grasshopper with a stinger…

Love from Pakistan!!

good one bro

Yes!!

You should do some poke poling, I miss that stuff

Dude head up to Winchester bay Oregon they are hammering coho salmon from the beach and the weather is great

I suggest using 10lb spider wire because it's 2 lb reveal but stupid strong

It's been a while since you go west coast trip. Maybe you want to do it again man 👍 Peace from Indonesia

Great 👍

The only way I've ever hooked a cricket is putting the hook in where you can imagine an Adam's apple would be and going through the cricket and out the bumhole. This would be hooking it on the bottom side of the cricket, not the top.

Just wondering why are you not fly fishing? Would do much better (if you know what you are doing). Trout want to see the bait moving with the current at normal speed which is why you can do well fly fishing if you know how to mend your line properly and match hatch. Bobber ain't gonna cut it. It's going to move slower than current as it is too big. Also most of your trout are going to be up in ambush spots in the ripples not below. They want the oxygen and the ability to take advantage of the current for prey. Any place behind a rock for instance or in slower moving moving water next to ripples. Fly fishing will teach you to "read" the river. It takes a bit of practice and patience to learn how to fly fish properly but once you do you will never look back!

I used to catch snakes before on sale to Andy's Pet Shop here in San Jose California

Cached up early, hello brother

I hook them along the back kinda like a swim bait.
