The Reality of Fishing a Trout Derby... (750lbs)

How awesome! More people are starting to recognize who you are. Congrats bro. Can't wait to get out there on Saturday. Your dad is a trooper bro. Hope he'll be there for the event. Would love to meet him. Again, congrats on all your success bro.

We have events like that here in Idaho, they are called the fishing trailer event and it is packed when the trailer is at the ponds, they also stock fish right before the event and sometimes the bite is fire and other times it is dead! I fished on free fishing day at one pond last year and me and a buddy were catching 16 inch plus fish! Great video, glad you were able to get on some fish!!! Cannot wait for the next video!!!

Nice fish, that day was tough especially because we got there super late but hope to catch some with you on Saturday 👍🐟🐟

@2:52 if I can share some knowledge with you on fishing ponds that have fishing derbies like this one. 1 the smaller and darker the bait the better, remember these are fish hatchery stocks so they are fed on fish pellets. 2 you do not have to cast deep to catch trout especially on fishing Derby days max 7 feet from shore, again these fish are from a hatchery so they are used to getting fed near a bank. This is a little bit of the tricks to use, I have fished over 80 different derby's here in SoCal. All similar ponds like the one you're fishing in this video 🤘🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸🤘🎣

Great job Mark ! Congrats on the growth bro, we getting there ! We went over 4k yesterday ✌️

So cool to meet you man! I’m the second dude you met in the video.

We use to go to this event every year their use to be way more people was so hard to cast a line without others crossing your line especially when you got a bite. Looks like they made some changes might go to it next year. Awesome video brother

Looked like a fun experience! I'd go crazy fishing shoulder to shoulder with other people 🎣🤯

Great fishing event I’ve ever seen. ❤❤❤

I fished one of these tournaments on my channel as well, and like you I was also VERY glad that I didn' get skunked 😆 Great video, mine was catfish tournament, not trout. I'd rather trout! So jealous lol. 😅

The derby this year and last year both sucked because people were chumming the shit out of them 2 years ago i caught 73 trout this year i got 15 and last year i got 12 and after the derby i have been consistently catching 5 or 6 a day. This year the guy next to me shows up and the first thing he does is throw literally an entire can of corn in the water.

Great video, hope to come across something like this near me

Watching from Scotland and our fishing journey is totally the opposite from yours , but fair play lads , tight lines .😊

Tell Dad I said hello. Loving the content bro

Try throwing a handful of pebbles where youre casting. Stock trout are fed pellets and they ll think its feeding time.

Great video man

BRO WHAT!🔥 you were over at the wigwam I literally just came back right now from there I live right around the corner. If you ever go out there again, let me know. Would love to meet up with you🔥

Bruh that dude caught 24???? Man had it figured out. No offense but glad I sat this one out 😂😂
