    The best part of this video is how absolutely speechless Ben is after landing that monster. WOW. Well done sir.
  • @ElKayCee2270
    So completely impressed by your respect of that fish. In todays social media age that fish would have been manhandled for ten minutes of photos before release only to belly up later. Congratulations. Fish of a lifetime.
  • @devon762
    The collective silence the moment after you let that fish go says it all.. those are the moments you live for. Congratulations man. Thanks for bringing us along for that ride.
  • @mattykraemer
    You got back in the boat and got your friends on fish. Good man. That was a monster. Your career has peaked. It’s all 10” fish from here on out. Great vid
  • @nikkikiska
    Tons of respect for how you handled the fish; didn't even drag him into the boat at the risk of her getting away. The number of youtube videos of anglers handling fish with dry hands, dragging fish across the shore, etc. is terrifying.
  • @anthonys5844
    there is a LOUD quiet on the boat when you hook into one of those, you know what is at stake. well done landing and even better job getting her back into the water quick, everyone who fishes that stretch dreams of that fish!
  • @joshuad.3466
    Congrats Ben, that’s the fish of many lifetimes ! You deserve it, well done !
  • @Blues2cool
    55 years of fly fishing, and I have never seen a brown that big. Great job, my friend. Oh, one more thing take that sticker off your truck that sez I suck at fly fishing!
  • A 36-inch of this color in this condition is unreal!! Congratulations!
  • @markzaleski2176
    Amazing fish! Congrats Ben! 100% deserved and love how it truly impacted you!
  • @OutdoorsPodcast
    Loved the video Ben. One of the most upbeat, buddy fishing videos you’ve made recently. “Good country there Kyle!” I can’t speak for everyone else, but it would be cool to see you do a more technical video on rowing techniques and how you manage different types of water. Thanks again for making the content. Cheers with a lagerado!
  • haha the stress in your voice when landing that EPIC fish is a feeling i know all to well. especially with trout, trying to land a beast but also making sure to not hurt it is battle all by itself. well done dude.
  • @asainthug9
    Subbed because he didn’t say “let’s go!” Congrats on a magnificent catch!
  • The look on your face, Ben is priceless! Well done my friend. That was a hell of a fish!
  • Unreal Ben. Love how raw your reaction was. Best fly fishing video I’ve seen this year. What a beauty. Thanks for being real, no bullshit giant fish setups.
  • @nestoroniFL
    Finally getting a chance to watch this one while I’m sitting at the vise, and wow what a day! Dope moments for all 3 guys. THESE are the days that we live for - this is why we spend countless dollars on gear, countless hours on the water. Absolutely love it.
  • @daveschlom4033
    My favorite YT fly fishing vid of all time. Maybe not the "best" (whatever that means) but after faithfully watching your videos for a while, that catch and release was just an awesome display of good fortune meeting a finely tuned angler along with great teamwork from your companions. Just perfect man. I will think of this every time I put on my hoodie and hope that some fine day, I will suck a little less.
  • @robertlouis24
    Congrats - fish of a lifetime - love your videos, and your attitude to life ❤️
  • I've never been happier for anyone on you tube to get their hands on a fish! Great video Ben
