LET'S SEE WHAT THIS WILL DO.

(GUNSHOT) WILL THIS WEEK ON KENTUCKY AFIELD.

WE ARE TALKING TURKEY AND PATTERNING SHOTGUNS WITH A KENTUCKY HUNTING LEGEND, Mr. HAROLD KNIGHT: OOO-WE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.

>> NEXT.

>> YOU CAN SEE THE GROWTH LINES ON THIS.

>> ZEBRA MUSSELS ARE A SPECIES WE WANT NO PART OF IN THIS STATE.

>> PROBLEMATIC, NUISANCE SPECIES.

>> TALKING TO THE EXPERTS TO FIND OUT HOW TO LIMIT THEIR SPREAD.

THEN...

FISHING SEASON IS UPON US.

>> HERE WE GO.

>> WE ARE CATCHING TROUT AT WOLF CREEK DAM.

>> LET THE ROD TIP DO THE WORK.

>> IT'S ALL NEXT ON KENTUCKY AFIELD... >> THAT'S A PRETTY FISH.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> THIS POND IS PLUM FLOATED WITH FROGS.

>> THEY'RE EVERYWHERE IN HERE.

(GUNSHOT) >> THIS IS A GOOD FISH RIGHT HERE.

A REALLY GOOD FISH.

>> COME HERE, GIRL.

>> THAT'S A BIG RABBIT.

>> NICE JOB.

>> YES!

MY FIRST MUSKY.

>> LEO!

♪ WE GOT A KEEPER!

>> THERE GOES.

BOOM!

>> WOW, THAT HAPPENED FAST.

♪ ♪ >> HELLO, WELCOME TO KENTUCKY AFIELD.

I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES.

JOIN US AS WE JOURNEY THE COMMONWEALTH IN SEARCH OF OUTDOOR ADVENTURE.

PREPARING FOR THIS UPCOMING TURKEY SEASON TAKES A LOT MORE THAN JUST SHARPENING YOUR SKILLS ON YOUR CALLS.

MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS CHOOSING THE RIGHT AMMO AND PATTERNING YOUR SHOTGUN.

HAROLD, TURKEY SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

>> IT'S RIGHT HERE ON US, BROTHER.

>> THE CRAZIEST THING ABOUT TURKEY HUNTING, IT IS CHANGING EVERY YEAR AND CHANGING FAST TO.

KEEP UP WITH ALL THE NEW TRENDS, HAVE YOU TO SUSPECT END SOMETIME.

>> YOU KNOW YOU DO.

I TRY TO READ UP ON IT AND KEEP UP ON IT AND IT'S A FULL TIME JOB TO DO THAT NOW.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

WE HAD YOU ON A CALL-IN SHOW ABOUT FOUR YEARS AGO AND YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT WAS PRETTY RADICAL.

YOU WERE GOING TO TURKEY HUNT THAT YEAR WITH A TUNGSTEN LOAD SHOOTING NINE SHOT.

>> THAT'S CORRECT AND I WAS AMAZED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IT AND LEAD AND YOU GOT SO MANY MORE SHOTS, SEVERAL HUNDRED MORE.

IT IS UNREAL WHAT IT WILL DO.

>> MORE ENERGY DOWN RANGE.

IF YOU CAN SIGHT THE GUN IN WHERE YOU CAN TAKE A BIRD AT 50, 60 YARDS AND THEY BUILD FOR A PARTICULAR TYPE OF AMMUNITION AND HOW IT SHOULD PATTERN.

>> SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR SOMEBODY IS COMING OUT WITH NEW CHOABS.

>> YOU SAID YOU WERE HUNTING WITH A 20 GAUGE.

12 GAUGE HAS BEEN THE STANDARD.

>> YOU ARE RIGHT.

I'M SHOOTING A 20 GAUGE OVER A 12.

>> PREDOMINANTLY BECAUSE OF TUNGSTEN AMMO.

>> IT HAS BEEN A GAME CHANGER, THE TUNGSTEN AND SPOT SCOPES.

>> I BOUGHT A 20 GAUGE AND I PLAN TO USE IT FOR A WHOLE RANGE OF OUTDOOR RECREATION FROM SPORTING CLAY TO DOVE TO RABBIT TO URBAN COUNTY THEY.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD TRANSITION TO A 20 GAUGE BUT LET'S GATHER UP SOME AMMO AND YOU KNOW, WE CAME DOWN HERE TO TALK TURKEY.

WE ARE GOING TO SHOOT SOME GUNS AND PATTERN OUR TURKEY GUNS FOR THIS YEAR.

I WANT TO LEARN A FEW THINGS FROM YOU AND HOPEFULLY WHEN I LEAVE, I WILL BE CONFIDENT MY GUN IS READY TO GO.

>> GOOD DEAL.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GIVE IT A SHOT RIGHT HERE AND SEE WHERE WE ARE AT.

>> WE WANT TO FINE TUNE IT WITH THE THE AMMO.

>> FIRE IN THE HOLE!

>> I SEE A LOT OF GREEN.

>> NOT BAD.

IT'S CLOSE.

I'M GOING TO GO GET IT AND BRIT BACK BRING IT BACK AND GO BACK AND SEE WHERE WE ARE AT.

LET'S PUT ANOTHER TARGET OUT WHILE WE ARE THERE.

YOU KNOW, I CAN SEE A PRETTY GOOD PATTERN IT LOOKS LIKE.

HE IS A DEAD TURKEY.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 IN THE SPINE AND HEAD THERE.

BUT IT LOOKS LIKE TO ME, THE PATTERN STILL IS JUST A TEENY BIT LOW.

AND I THINK IT MIGHT JUST BE A LITTLE TO THE LEFT.

JUST A LITTLE ADJUSTMENT AND SHOOT ANOTHER SHELL.

I'M GOING TO SHOOT A TSS THIS TIME.

IT'S A TUNGSTEN SHELL SO YOU GOT A FEW MORE SHOT.

AND I'VE ADJUSTED MY GUN SO LET'S SEE WHAT IT DOES.

>> ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

FIRE IN THE HOLE.

(GUNSHOT) ALL RIGHT.

LET'S SEE WHERE WE'RE AT.

THAT'S WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.

LOOKY HERE.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 IN THE RED KILL, NOT COUNTING THE OTHER KILLS.

>> THAT GUN IS READY TO HUNT.

>> THAT GUN IS READY.

LET'S TRY A LONG BEARD.

NUMBER 5 SHOT.

>> WE'LL SHOW THE EXACT SAME GUN SAME CHOKE TUBE WITH A LED SHOT.

>> WHICH IS A GREAT SHELL.

A GREAT ROUND.

LET'S SEE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS.

LET'S SEE WHAT THE LONG BEARD WILL DO ALL RIGHT.

THE WIND BLEW IT DOWN THERE.

WALKING UP HERE BUT THAT'S A DEAD TURKEY.

YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GOT THE GUN RIGHT.

LOOK AT THE PATTERN.

>> WE'VE GOT 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.

>> THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

>> I'M IMPRESSED WITH THAT.

>> BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS THE AMOUNT OF HOLES IN THERE.

AND THESE ARE FIVE SHOT, A LOT BIGGER SHOT BUT THEY WEIGH THE SAME SO THE AMOUNT OF ENERGY THAT YOU'VE GOT HERE, NOT NEAR AS MUCH AS THE TUNGSTEN SHOT THAT YOU PUT ON THERE BEFORE.

>> I RECOMMEND THAT WE BRING THIS IN TO ABOUT 35 YARDS AND SHOOT YOUR GUN AND SHOOT WITH A REGULAR SHELL AND SEE WHERE THE PATTERN IS.

>> LET'S DO THAT.

I HAVE NEVER SHOT THIS GUN THROUGH THIS TURKEY CHOKE TUBE.

WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS USE A BIGGER TARGET AND SEE WHERE THIS THING IS HITTING.

FIRE IN THE HOLE.

(GUNSHOT).

>> YOU HIT THE BULL'S EYE.

LOOKY HERE.

THAT'S AS CENTER AS YOU CAN PUT ONE IN THAT.

>> THAT'S PRETTY LUCKY.

OVERALL I'VE GOTTEN SHOTS ABOVE AND BELOW BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE SHOTS ARE BELOW.

>> LET'S PUT ANOTHER TARGET UP AND SHOOT A TUNGSTEN.

>> OKAY.

>> OOO-WE.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

>> I BELIEVE WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.

>> I BELIEVE YOU ARE IN GREAT SHAPE.

>> IF YOU LOOK AT THE NUMBER OF KILL SHOTS, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20.

>> VERY GOOD.

THIS IS A SET UP I HAVE BEEN USING FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS TURKEY HUNTING.

(GUNSHOTS) THIS IS MY WINCHESTER SUPER X 2, A DUCK GUN BUT I'VE GOT A TURKEY CHOKE TUBE IN IT SHOOTING WINCHESTER LONG BEARDS SO THREE AND A HALF INCH FIVE SHOT.

A LOT MORE RECOIL, A LOT MORE GUN TO HAUL AROUND, BUT LET'S SEE WHAT THIS DOES AND COMPARE TO THE 20 GAUGE TSS.

>> IF YOU WANT TO KILL TURKEYS WITH THIS GUN, EVIDENTLY.

>> IT SHOULD BE ON.

WE'LL SEE.

THIS IS A GOOD PATTERN, ALL PRETTY TIGHT.

THE SAME DISTANCE 20 GAUGE TSS WITH A TRUE LOCK CHOKE TUBE AND THIS IS THE SAME GUN I'VE HAD A LOT OF LUCK WITH HUNTING OVER THE YEARS.

I BELIEVE I'M GOING START HAULING LESS GUN.

>> CASE CLOSED MY FRIEND.

THERE'S THE DIFFERENCE.

>> I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOU LETTING US COME OUT HERE AND SHOOT OUR GUNS TODAY.

WE ARE BOTH READY TO HIT THE WOODS.

>> NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THE GUN SHOOTS.

>> YES, SIR.

>> AND IT'S VERY, VERY IMPORTANT FOR A TURKEY HUNTER TO SHOOT HIS GUN BEFORE HE GOES TURKEY HUNTING.

>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, IF I CAN ONLY LEARN A FEW THINGS ABOUT CALLING TURKEYS, MAYBE I'LL FILL MY TAGS THIS YEAR.

>> I BET YOU CAN CALL A TURKEY.

THANKS FOR LETTING ME BE PART OF IT.

>> THANK YOU.

HERE WITH DANE BALLSMAN, PROGRAM COORDINATOR FOR OUR FINS LAKE, FISHING IN THE NEIGHBORHOODS.

>> WE WERE CATCHING CATFISH BUT SUMMER IS NOT TOM TIME TO FISH IN THE FINS LAKE.

TELL ME ABOUT WINTER TIME.

>> DURING THE WINTER WE STOCK TROUT AS WELL.

STARTING IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, WE STOCK TROUT, 120,000 IN THE FINS LAKES, AROUND THE STATE AND WE STOCK THOSE THROUGH THE EARLY SPRING UNTIL THE WATER TEMP GETS TOO WARM, THE END OF MAY.

>> MIXED REVIEW AS ROUND STOCKING TIMES.

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE SAY OH MAN, THE FISH DON'T WANT TO BITE FOR A WHILE.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE EXPERIENCED.

WE WATCHED THEM GO ON AND CAUGHT AS MANY AS WE WANTED WHEN THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AND THE FISH DON'T START BITING, PEOPLE WONDER IF WE STOCKED THE FISH BUT SOMETIMES THE TROUT TAKE LONGER TO ACCLIMATE.

IT COULD BE A FEW DAYS BEFORE THEY START BITING.

>> BUT IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EXACTLY WHEN THE FISH ARE GOING IN, WE OFFER THAT INFORMATION.

>> WE PUT THAT INFORMATION A WEEK OR TWO BEFORE THE FISH ARE STOCKED.

GO TO THE WEB PAGE FW.KY.GOV, TYPE IN FINS IN THE SEARCH ENGINE AND WE HAVE THE TROUT STOCKING AND CATFISH STOCKING SCHEDULE ONLINE.

>> WE HAVE 44 FINS LAKE, 28 COUNTIES AND YOU CAN GO TO THE FINS WEB PAGE AND WE HAVE DIRECTIONS HOW TO GET TO THE CLOSEST ONE NEAR YOU.

>> WINTER IS NO TIME TO SIT ON THE COUCH.

YOU CAN GET OUT THERE AND CATCH FISH.

NOT ONLY FOR THE SUMMERTIME.

I HAVE FISHED FINS LAKES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER AND THEY CAN BE PRODUCTIVE.

>> WE ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO GET OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS NICE OR NOT NICE.

YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH FISH IN THE WINTER AT THE FINS LAKE.

>> THANK YOU FOR TELL TELLING US ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY.

>> THANK YOU, CHAD.

>> PROTECTING THE WATER RESOURCES IS EVERYONE'S RESPONSIBILITY.

SO UNDERSTANDING HOW TO AVOID THE SPREAD OF ZEBRA MUSSELS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

ZEBRA MUSSELS IS A NATIVE SPECIES TO EUROPE AND ASIA AND IN FACT IT'S THE BLACK AND CASPIAN SEA AREA, IT CAN BE PROBLEMATIC.

IT HAS A FREE SWIMMING LARVAE, IT'S TINY MICROSCOPIC, SWIMS AROUND IN THE WATER AND GETS SUCKED INTO THE WATER PIPES AND ATTACHES TO THE SIDES OF PIPES AND STARTS TO GROW AND CAN CLOG PIPES.

IT'S PROBLEMATIC, A NUISANCE SPECIES.

THE PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY IS IT WAS INTRODUCED IN THE LATE 80s EARLY 19 90S THROUGH PROBABLY BARGE TRAFFIC.

THEY GO THE INTO THE BALANCE AFTER THE WATERS, SHIPS COMING ACROSS FROM EUROPE.

WHEN THEY GOT TO THE GREAT LAKES, RELEASED THE WATER AND THE VILLAGERS ARE NOW IN THE WATER THEY GET ON THE NATIVE SHELL AND TAKE THE FOOD AWAY FROM THEM.

ONE OF THE WAYS THEY'RE PROBLEMATIC IN THE GREAT LAKES IS WATER INTAKE STRUCTURES.

THEY'RE REALLY DAMAGING TO THAT.

IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN AROUND A BEACH WITH THEM, THEY'RE VERY SHARP.

YOU CAN CUT YOUR FINGERS, YOUR FEET.

THEY'RE UNWANTED SPECIES.

IT'S AN EXOTICS SPECIES.

WE DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEM IN THIS COUNTRY.

WE WANT TO PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THEM.

>> ZEBRA MUSSELS ARE CURRENT WILL I FOUND IN KENTUCKY IN A LOT OF OUR LARGER RIVERS.

WE HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM OUT OF A GOOD MARKET MAJORITY OF OUR LAKES HERE.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE WE DAMPEN ANY TYPE OF MOVEMENT INTO OUR LAKES AND RESOURCE SYSTEMS WHERE WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY FOUND >> YOU CAN SEE AND YOU CAN SEE THIS ONE REALLY GOOD.

THE GROWTH LINES ON IT.

>> ONE OF THE BIGGEST MODES OF TRANSPORT FOR THESE INVASIVE SPECIES IS HUMAN MEDIATED MOVEMENT AND WE WANT TO CUT DOWN ON THAT VECTOR OF TRANSPORT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE DO ALL THAT WE CAN TO SLOW DOWN ANY PROGRESSION OR ANY INSTANCE WHERE THESE MOLLUSKS CAN BE INTRODUCED INTO PREVIOUSLY UNTOUCHED WATER RESOURCES.

>> MOST PEOPLE IN THE STATE ARE AWARE OF THESE.

IT'S NOT LIKE THIS IS NEW.

THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN AROUND.

IT'S JUST THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN THEM TRANSPORT.

SO IT'S A NEW VECTOR TO INTRODUCE THEM.

NOW THEY'RE BEING FOUND IN A RATHER COMMON AQUARIUM AND HOUSE DECOR ITEM KNOWN AS MOSS BALL.

THEY CAN BE KNOWN AS BETA BUDDIES, SHRIMP BUDDIES, SOME OTHER PRODUCT NAMES.

THIS IS A PREVIOUSLY UNDOCUMENTED VECTOR OF TRANSPORT SO KEEP IN MIND, YOU SHOULD NEVER DUMP ANYTHING FROM A BAIT BUCKET OR AN AQUARIUM INTO A NATIVE WATERWAY THAT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THE MAIN MODES OF TRANSPORT FOR SOME OF THESE SPECIES AND CAN POTENTIALLY BE INTRODUCED INTO AREAS THAT THEY'RE NOT CURRENTLY ESTABLISHED.

IN TERMS OF DISINSPECTING AND DISPOSING OF THOSE, THE CURRENT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS BOUGHT MOSS BALLS OR BETA BUDDY BALLS, THE BEST THING IS TO FREEZE THEM FOR 24 HOURS OR LONGER AND BOIL OR BLEACH THEM AS WELL THAT'S ONE OF THE THREE WAYS WE ARE CURRENTLY RECOMMENDING THEY BE DISPOSED OF PROPERLY AND NEVER DUMP THEM INTO A WATER RESOURCE.

DISPOSE OF THEM PROPERLY IN THE TRASH.

>> SPRING IS THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN RIVER SYSTEMS AR LIFE WITH ACTIVITY, INCLUDING TROUT.

>> DON'T LET THE TRAILER GET YOUR FEET WET >> WHAT DO WOO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH TODAY?

>> THE RIVER IS ENDLESS, WALLEYE, STRIPERS, BROWN TROUT, RAINBOW TROUT, BROOK TROUT, WHITE BASS, CRAPPIE YOU REALLY NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO CATCH TO BE HONEST WITH YOU HOW MUCH WEIGHT?

>> 3/8, IT DEPENDS ON THE CURRENT.

IT IS JUST A BASIC CAROLINA RIG AND I USE A NUMBER 4 ABERDEEN CRAPPIE HOOK.

YOU REALLY WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THE BOAT DRIFTS BACK IF YOU MAKE IT CAST TOO QUICK, THE BOAT WILL HESITATE AND YOUR BAIT WILL COME RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE BOAT.

WAIT ON THE BOAT TO START GOING BACK JUST LIKE YOU DONE.

HERE WE GO.

GOOD JOB.

YOU GOT IT HERE.

LET THAT ROD TIP DO THE WORK.

>> LET THE ROD TIP DO THE WORK.

>> GOT A RAINBOW GOOD EATING SIZE THERE.

>> YEAH, IT IS LOOKY THERE.

PRETTY FISH.

THEY BOUNCE AND FIGHT SO WELL.

>> GOT ONE, TOO.

>> MAYBE WE GOT THE SAME FISH THAT'S A HUNGRY FISH RIGHT THERE.

>> YES, HE WAS LIKE I'M HOOKED BUT I'M STILL GOING HAVE LUNCH.

>> THAT IS PROBABLY TOO BIG TO KEEP IF YOU WANTED TO.

YOU CAN'T KEEP A RAINBOW BETWEEN 15-20.

THAT ONE IS DEFINITELY OVER 15.

>> NICE FISH THOUGH.

>> SURE IS.

BIG ONES ARE IN THE FIRST 100-FOOT.

NOT ALWAYS BUT THAT'S WHERE THE MARKET OF THE BIGGEST TROUT ARE MIGHT BE A LOT BIGGER FISH.

>> THIS THING IS GETTING SERIOUS.

>> THEY DON'T WEAR OUT QUICK LORD HAVE MERCY WHAT A FISH.

>> THAT IS A GOOD FISH OH WOW.

WHAT A PRETTY FISH.

>> A MALE, GOT THE BIG OLD HOOK ON IT.

>> THANK YOU LORD.

IF YOU WANT TO GET HIM UP ON IN HERE WHAT A PRETTY FISH.

>> ALMOST 22 INCHES.

EIGHT POUNDS.

THEY'RE SO THICK.

YOU LOOK ACROSS THE BACK.

THEY'RE HAULING WEIGHT EVERYWHERE ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF THE TAIL THAT FISH HAS GOT WEIGHT.

>> YEAH, IT IS.

>> A BEAUTIFUL FISH.

>> SURE IS.

>> HOW OLD DO YOU THINK THE FISH IS?

>> I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

I WISH I COULD TELL YOU BUT I REALLY DON'T KNOW.

WASN'T PUT IN THIS SPRING, I GUARANTEE YOU.

>> THIS IS A LITTLE BIT BETTER FISH.

THIS FISH WITH THE WEIGHT IT'S GOT IS PROBABLY ONLY TWO POUND FISH OR SO, BUT.

>> MIGHT BE BIGGER THAN TWO POUNDS.

>> SOMETIMES THEY GROW WHEN THEY GET CLOSER TO THE BOAT.

WHEN THEY GET OFF, THEY GET A LOT BIGGER.

>> EXACTLY.

WHAT A PRETTY FISH LOOK AT THAT JOKER.

THAT FISH IS 25 HFER 26 INCHES.

>> HE'S A LONG ONE.

>> FIVE POUNDS.

HE IS JUST SKINNY.

THE COLOR IN THAT FISH.

THEY'RE SUCH A PRETTY BEAUTIFUL FISH.

SPOTTED UP.

HE IS SO SKINNY, I WOULD SAY HE HAS NOT BEEN UP HERE VERY LONG.

FISH STAY UP CLOSE TO THE DAM, THEY BULK UP.

>> THIS IS A BETTER FISH.

NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET IN THE RIVER.

AND THIS IS SUCH AN INTERESTING FIGHT BECAUSE YOU GOT ANITY BITTY ABERDEEN HOOK.

IF I'M BILL GILL COPPER FISHING, YOU CAN PULL THE IT STATE.

YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL WITH A FISH LIKE THIS.

YOU CAN'T GET IN A HUR ARE I.

>> JUST ABOUT LIKE FLY FISHING.

STARTING TO SHAKE HIS HEAD.

>> IT'S A BIG BROWN.

I DON'T THINK IT'S AS BIG AS THE ONE YOU CAUGHT BUT PROBABLY, SEE HIM OUT THERE PROBABLY FIVE OR SIX POUNDER?

TRY TO GET HIM COMING BACK THIS WAY.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> WHAT A PRETTY FISH.

>> WOW.

I WILL TELL YOU THAT IS THE BIGGEST BROWN TROUT I'VE EVER CAUGHT.

>> WEIGH MORE THAN YOUR RAINBOW DID BECAUSE HE IS SO FAT.

WHAT A PRETTY, PRETTY FISH, GORGEOUS.

>> THIS IS WHAT YOU COME DOWN HERE FOR.

I HAVE BEEN DOWN HERE WITH YOU FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS AND CAUGHT THE BIGGEST RAINBOW AND BIGGEST BROWN AND YOU CAUGHT A BIGGER BROWN THAN THIS ONE.

AND MAN, THEY SURE FIGHT AND THEY KEEP THEIR WEIGHT SO FAR DOWN IN THEIR TAIL AND IT IS SUCH A THICK BEAUTIFUL FISH.

>> SUPER HEALTHY.

LET'S GET THIS JOKER BACK IN.

20 INCHES.

THAT'S THE LONGEST ONE WE CAUGHT.

>> WHAT A FISH.

WHAT A PRETTY FISH, PRETTY BEAUTIFUL.

>> PROBABLY THE BIGGEST ONE.

>> A WHOLE LOT OF FACTORS AT PLAY HERE.

FIRST THE WATER HAS TO BE RIGHT BECAUSE THIS WATER CAN CHANGE VERY, VERY QUICKLY.

>> IT CAN.

THEY POST IT ON THE WEBSITE, THE GENERATION SCHEDULE FOR THE NEXT DAY, BUT IT SAYS, YOU KNOW, IT CAN CHANGE AT ANY TIME, SO YOU CAN'T ALWAYS GO BY JUST WHAT IT SAYS.

>> I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND IF SOMEONE WANTED TO COME DOWN HERE AND GIVE THIS A TRY, TO COME DOWN AND TO SEE EXACTLY HOW TO HANDLE THIS AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE GOING ABOUT IT SAFELY BECAUSE AS WITH ANY MOVING WATER, BIG WATER LIKE THIS, IT CAN EAT YOU UP PRETTY GOOD.

>> IT IS THE LAW BUT YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO WEAR A LIFE JACKET DOWN HERE.

>> YOU ARE WEARING A WAIST VEST.

YOU WOULDN'T DARE BE CAUGHT ON THIS WATER WITHOUT ONE.

>> I WOULD NOT.

I MAINLY FISH DOWN HERE FEBRUARY, MARCH AND APRIL.

THE WAY I LIKE TO FISH, THE BEST FISHING IS WHEN THEY HAVE BEEN GENERATING 24/7.

YOU KNOW... >> WHAT WE GOT RIGHT NOW.
