This photo was taken by a friend of mine that saw this in one of the areas where Bassntrout likes to exploit the most. If you have fished in this area then you already know where this is. I'm sure it won't slow him down, but I did find humor in whomever is trying to get their point across.

Wasn’t me!??
Truth be known I have been fishing this area and sharing with special friends for around 40 years. The lake in the video can be reached with a 2wd sedan as long as there is not too much mud or snow. It’s just a special place to me and seeing this kind of reckless exploitation is a bit disheartening to me. I mean watch some of B&Ts videos and they are almost an insult to cultured fishermen. Total mistreatment of fish, eating hot chips, cooking trout in an inedible manner, throwing his rods in the back of his truck and wondering how they break etc. A great friend of mine and I tried to help civilize him with a free float tube and fins, fly and spinning equipment, etc. Plus help him on tactics to put him on the better, more “educated” fish in the areas he frequents, which,
ly, are venues I have watched and fished for years before internet and YouTube. There is one and only one person with regular YouTube videos that earns my respect, and that is Trouthowler. Kendal uses discretion and class when doing his work. Total respect for all trout but brook trout especially. To think that Kendal receives less “views” or whatever on YouTube just puzzles me. I guess watching a guymaking a tool of himself eating hot chips and burning fish is great entertainment for some, but I sure wish he would move out of that magic area he has found and just hit some less sensitive areas for his media work.
