This Is WHY We Still BANK FISH for Summer Steelhead Ft. @Skyler.Bra
2 Video Views·Oct 11, 2026
Nice fish, yeah I got a nice one.
On the freaking pink worm, we're in trouble.
Hey out there all you fishing addicts,
thank you so much for tuning in
to another episode of Addicted.
We're back to the roots,
you guys have been asking for bank fishing episodes.
So we drove a couple hours east,
we're gonna do some bank fishing today.
Got my buddy Skyler here from Michigan.
How's it going?
Got Sawyer here from Michigan.
And we're gonna hopefully put some steel,
these guys have never caught a summer steelhead.
So that's the goal for today,
we're kinda working our way up the river
to where the steelhead I think are gonna be.
But we're making a little funny skit because I've been telling
these guys the whole time like we're gonna get him today
Don't worry. We're gonna get him.
And that's the famous last words guys.
So fingers crossed. Thanks so much for tuning in
Don't forget thumbs up the video drop some comments.
Let's go catch some fish baby. I
Can't do it. I can't bend over past this.
I literally can't dude.
Yours are way bigger. He's gonna rip
I don't think they're way bigger. I think I'm just way smaller.
They're the same size, bro.
Dude, I can't even grab my foot.
Yeah, so we've been out
on the Big River
for the last few days,
and today we are out
in these other mountains.
I don't even know where we're at.
I slept in the car the whole time we were here.
But I woke up to this, and it's just super pretty. It's crazy.
But yeah, this is definitely a change-up
from the Big River Troll in the last couple days.
Now we're casting spinners. Marlon
says we're going to catch a steelhead.
So that'd be awesome. I really want to catch one
of those so we'll see what we can do
Feel like
John
Dutton
get off
my range
I just got wrecked.
Damn it. Damn it, dude.
That was such
a good bite.
Yeah, I'm not outside
Little guy, but that's fun, huh? He just crushed it.
Yeah, it worked hard for that one. Look at that little guy dude
Oh, yeah, he's hit up hit a wall somewhere
Got him on the old freaking torpedo body blue
and silver can't go wrong with that color
Yeah, I've never seen anything like
this. This here is probably two
or three times bigger than
our biggest hill in Michigan
It's a lot different.
What's so funny dude?
I shouldn't have pulled it like that. I broke mine Marlin.
See that boulder right there in the center dude
I've caught so many fish right behind
that not today. There he is fish.
Gonna run it at me quick
He's just swimming up
with the current
see him swimming up
river definitely
a steelhead fish guys.
What a beauty
Oh, he's barely hooked just by the skinny skin skin.
Look at that. Nice little hatchery steelhead beautiful fish
They look really pretty this time of year.
They start getting all that. Oh, he's already ready
We're sending him we could keep that fish guys
But these guys are gonna go home with so much salmon
and they have access to a lot of steelhead at home where they're at
So we let him go. Well, we got one baby. We got one
so guys when you're getting these blue foxes out
of the packaging one of the most important things
to do in my opinion for our salmon
and steelhead is to get this treble hook off of here you lose
so many more fish on this treble hook
this is a must-add two-aught siwash that same one that
we've promoted and used for years guys
and it just works it's a good hook so we're gonna crimp one of
these on here for skyler
because he lost his purple spinner in the last hole and honestly
purple wasn't working so we're gonna put blue on there
and hopefully skyler's gonna hook a steel
head down here and it's gonna freaking take off running 40 miles
an hour and come flying out of
the water 10 times that's what i'm manifesting right now guys
when you bend that hook down on
there guys you want to really make sure
that freaking thing's on there there it is skyler's
got the setup now
if he doesn't hook
one now dude i
don't know what
to tell him nice
one oh dude
it's a tank dude it's
a nice big steel head here it's
a stud dude i got him dude it's
a nice one
It's a hatchery we can do whatever we want with it.
That's a beautiful can hatchery
He burned my finger dude
when he took off with mine right when I hooked him
He looks like he's hooked pretty good,
but I don't I want more line out. I'm saying you walk. There we go
He's getting pretty tired now. Oh my god. He's gone
That was a giant that was like a big thing.
I couldn't get my hand around the tail. Oh my gosh. Sorry, dude
That was tough to land. I know I should have brought
an addicted landing net. That was so lame of me
That was a nice one though dude good job.
I mean we landed and we leadered him you touched him
You got him.
At least he's on video.
That was sick.
Jesus Christ. Snake.
I'm not a fan
of snakes dude
There's a snake right there. It's I don't know man.
It's right there. It ain't no rattlesnake
Dude that thing scared the life out of me.
I'm not a snake guy man. If I'm anything I'm not a snake guy
And I'll touch spiders anything
oh you see that coho i got
him he bit it oh i got
a nice steel head super
nice one we're in trouble
i can go down here i think it landed
on that gravel bar as long as he stays in this hole
i thought i
got the coho we
just freaking
came off gosh
dang it hit
so hard you see
that sean
grabbed it and turned this way with it
and then he didn't really fully load the rod so one thing
i noticed guys i've now lost three fish in a row
and one thing i was checking is my hook point and
it has become extremely dull so let's put a new hook
on there and i like to just take these fish
use pliers like that and literally just break that hook off of there
and then we'll put that in our
tackle box don't litter it out there
and then we'll take one of these two ought Mustad Siwash
hooks and we'll just bend that right back
on there and now hopefully
if i hook one i actually land
to see what
we can do
maybe on the
freaking
piece i told
you there
was a fish
in there
oh it must
have got chafed on those rocks over there look
at the knot look at the freaking break right there
in the line dude we're just
having some really bad luck guys
that was 17 pound test jesus christ
dude i'm just having a hell of a time yeah
that didn't hurt at all i just i landed on the soft
grass
but
that's
the
second
third
one we
hooked
in there
skylar
had a
bite two
fourth
one we
hooked
in there and we finally landed one of them
but you can see why they're so hard to land these
things just get violent
when you hook them immediately they just start tearing off like
crazy and we're not going to keep any of these fish guys
this would be an awesome fish to probably
keep and take home but we're going to send him
on his way all right guys let's send him on his way
see you buddy
he's ready on
the pink worm
fish i lost
him you see
that dude why
do i suck
i cannot
seem to get him to stick on these damn spinners
today just had another one right out here in this riff
like grab it start to turn with it
and then just pop off before i could even do anything so but
that blue fox spinner today has been hot until i caught
a lot of fish on that thing over the years
but that little chartreuse tip oh i wanted
to catch one more guys i really did i've been trying
hard that was a nice one back there
though i think i've lost like what sean five or six you
got a you got a lost fish counter going
on in here yeah all right addicts we might try to hit
one more spot maybe we'll see maybe one more one more down right below
this island i think there's
a good spot
all right dude
redemption
this right here
addicts is called
addiction took our waders off
but we just had to make one last little stop
here maybe for a little
redemption for Skylar fish
for that huh excited dude I
was jumping it's the last spot
that's where I lost the one earlier I got my
drag set really loose cuz felt like I'm
that last one dude it freaking came off
I had it too tight.
I thought we could get a little last-minute waiters off
Mayhem bite come on worm do it for me.
I know there's a fricking steelhead laying in this hole
We're
on the way home now.
We got our spongebob
Popsicles we had to reward ourselves for working
so hard today. It was a fun day
We hooked a lot of fish, but man we
Struggled to keep them on like we lost a lot of fish
It was really annoying and then Sawyer's waders that he
was borrowing from me were like two sizes too small
So medium he was getting just he had to get out of those things
or he was not gonna make it
He wasn't even gonna make it the rest of the day at all.
He got he got handicapped right out the gate
But you know we grind it. It was a good day guys
Hopefully you guys liked it those summer
steelhead are really really fun to catch
Appreciate Skylar and Sawyer for coming out
and fishing you guys are gonna see a bunch of episodes
With these guys in the future,
but don't forget guys thumbs up the video drop some comments
Until next time, we'll see you on the road.
That is good, dude.
