We have tried to help him and quiet him down but he just keeps blowing stuff up. Thankfully the lakes on that mountain with the really big brook trout are too difficult for him to fish with his tactics.

I like to watch them, but I hate the fact they cause so many places to be burned or hot spotted. I know exactly where the lake in the video is and it's because Stephen shows it so much eventually it was easy to figure out. That's happened with several places he exploits. I'm not telling you to not make videos, but just be careful about the content as it often comes at a price that isn't worth it if you aren't careful.
Well said my friend!
Looks like that lake needs thinned out or a partial winter kill any ways.. The hot spotting might improve quality but does take away the solitude many of us seek. Thankfully many of the best places take too much effort for the YT crowd. Even if a rare one makes it the masses will never put in the effort.
