Early May BWCA Solo Trip | Cold Windy and Tough Fishing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6IOkuGlPOI Early May in the Boundary Waters can be beautiful, but it can also be cold, windy, and challenging. On this solo BWCA canoe fishing trip, I set out in search of walleyes and smallmouth bass, only to be met with tough conditions and difficult fishing for most of the journey. For three days, I battled the wind, explored new water, and kept searching for fish despite long stretches without success. While the fishing wasn't easy, the experience reminded me that some of the most memorable wilderness trips aren't measured by the number of fish caught, but by the challenges overcome along the way. If you enjoy BWCA canoe trips, wilderness camping, fishing adventures, and honest outdoor experiences, I hope you'll enjoy coming along for the journey. #BWCA #BoundaryWaters #CanoeCamping #SoloCamping #FishingAdventure via Crazy Good Fishing Adventures https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwOaH1J-8iu9agISrh4K8g June 5, 2026 at 11:30PM

I Fished a Hidden Amazon Lagoon | Untouched Colombia Peacock Bass Fishing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA_ooQR-LXY I fished an untouched Amazon lagoon deep in the Colombian jungle. We pushed through thick brush to find a hidden peacock bass honey hole that has likely never seen a lure. WATCH THE FULL 4-DAY EXPEDITION: [https://youtu.be/y-8OSaXDD5g] This is a shorter, high-intensity cut of our Day 3 journey into the Orinoco river basin. While the full documentary (linked above) shows the entire 4-day trek, this specific lagoon was so chaotic it deserved its own spotlight. In just a few hours, I landed multiple double-digit peacock bass, including a 17lb giant. I traveled over 4,000 miles to the Vichada region of Colombia deep in the Amazon jungle hoping to catch a monster peacock bass. The first two days were okay, but it was the third day when things got crazy! Our guide, from Fish Colombia, suggested we try a lagoon that he had seen on a map, but had never fished before. Looking for an opportunity and open to adventure, we agreed. Best decision of the trip!!!

Finally Landing a King Salmon in Patagonia | Chasing a Legend

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jk8WggKUhk After 20 years of chasing a King, I finally landed a massive Chinook on a dream Patagonia salmon fishing trip in Argentina. Fishing the remote Río de las Vueltas, I had just one bite all day—and it changed everything. After multiple failed attempts to land a true King (Chinook) Salmon in Alaska, I traveled south to chase a legendary run of giant fish. On my final day, cold, exhausted, and convinced my bad luck was still alive, I got exactly one chance. The Battle: Fishing with a local guide, we spent hours casting glacial meltwater with zero action. No follows. No grabs. Nothing. With daylight fading, one last move put us into a new stretch of river. The take felt small… until the rod folded, the drag screamed, and chaos broke loose. What followed was a brutal fight through heavy current, submerged logs, fraying line, and split-second decisions. At multiple points, losing this fish felt inevitable. Against the odds, we landed a 45-pound (20+ kg) Chinook Salmon — the biggest King I’ve ever seen and the fish I’ve been chasing for two decades. What You’ll See in This Video: • Patagonia Salmon Fishing for giant Chinook • Guided fishing on the Río de las Vueltas • Remote glacial river conditions • A full fight with a 45lb King Salmon • Real mistakes, real pressure, real outcome 00:00 The Lure of the Legendary King Salmon 01:21 The Hunt Begins: First Casts for Kings 02:38 Hooking a Giant King (Sudden Chaos!) 04:12 The Battle: Fighting Current & Fish 07:45 Landing a Monster Chinook 08:59 The Release & Final Thoughts If you enjoyed this story of persistence, check out my battle with the Redtail Catfish in the Amazon: https://youtu.be/nqae6woQo_Y If you enjoy real fishing adventures — the wins and the grind behind them — consider subscribing to Crazy Good Fishing. #KingSalmon #ChinookSalmon #PatagoniaFishing #FishingAdventure via Crazy Good Fishing https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZwOaH1J-8iu9agISrh4K8g January 14, 2026 at 03:00AM
