Dude no way that's so cool!! Where abouts was that?

Pov hatchet

Did you report it? You never know if theres a corpse in it

That looks like a car no?

I know what airplane that is

I am in Haliburton on the 5 lake chain and have not caught a X#$%I thing. Now you are showing this steel fishing line set up and it just complicated everything even more...I have 4 conventional fishing rods with a number of different tackle (not targeting bass right now as it is out of season) but was hoping to get One Walleye ok I'll take a frigging perch!

Thank you for showing us your lure and your set up. After being frustrated too many times this helps.

Nice. So in the are you safer with a man or a bear question you would be equal to the bear 😂

Hello Galen, My name is Greg Popovice. My wife and I own and operate Tackle Factory in Fillmore New York, where the original Gee's G-40 galvanized minnow trap is still manufactured. I appreciate the time and effort that you have put into the video. We still manufacture the Gee's G-40 products as the have been for decades. I have traps that are 60-70 years old and still fit our new pieces today. If you ever get this way stop in and check us out. By the way... The black vinyl traps rust out way before the Gee's G-40 under normal freshwater conditions. I'd like to see if anyone can show me a black vinyl or silver imported trap that is still in useable shape after 5 years. If you or your viewers have any questions, I would be happy to answer them.

I was on the 2010 Streetsville program. Was a good one.

Dude is the ice any good still ya know haliburton ways or is she all a gonner?

I pressure can those . Its exact same as tuna.

Nice video! I was wondering if the foot broke off on the gold hook setter. It looked like half of it was laying there by the hole when you were fighting that fish. I was wondering if it broke off when you lifted the device up off of the hole? Or maybe it had broken before and the repair came apart? I am the guy who came up with the JawJacker and I was checking out some JawJacker videos people had done and I came across your video. It's the first time I have seen that particular gold device in action. I have seen it advertised before but never seen it used. I was going to personal message you about it like you tube use to allow you to do but I can see how to do that now so I had to message you under the comments section. Hopefully you see my comment and can answer me back.

Preach brother, been a rough couple weeks

Where u fishing ?

Brother wouldent let me get out this weekend on account of oooooh its too warm!! Noo ice is fine up north...shoulda been fishing today

I love it! Now how did you get the ice on the lake? 😂 I’m jealous and can’t wait to try it next year

So what are you saying? Is it the color that makes the difference or the design? All you mentioned was the name of the silver trap and kept comparing as the silver and black traps.

I have never had a problem with the black traps I get all kinds of minnows in mine

Nice video! Great job

Massive difference in results! Really cool man. I need to get myself one of the silvers for the upcoming season. Wicked vid🤙

I think the size and shape of the holes in the black trap is the difference. I think a lot of the minnows can make their way through the mesh.

The original silver traps have been manufactured at Cuba Specialty, Fillmore, NY since the beginning. The black ones are probably a wannabe knockoff and it looks like the minnows could swim right through the holes. Maybe the black trap would be suitable for larger minnows, but for these little fatheads, no. Maybe this is not a fair comparison of the two traps because of this feature. Not the color, but the size of the mesh is the reason here?

Nice set up! Must be hard putting all that money and time in and mother nature says no not this year! Dangerous year for ice fishing!

Don’t you just love walking in slush haha

I wonder if spray painting the black ones with white or chrome would help?

Good way to spread diseases to other lakes.

I’ve noticed the same thing. Stay away from the black minnow traps.

Thanks for the info! Watching you step over the hole at the end invited trouble. It reminded me of a woodsman’s maxim I learned. Never step on what you can step over. Never step over what you can step around.

they outlawed this in ny

Water bugs are just kos weird buggers

They have a really painful bite. Watch coyote Peterson get bitten by one

Toe biter!

It kills fish

Giant water beetle. Put one in my aquarium one time and the thing flew out and my mom squished it.

It's a Water bug.

Thanks for the straightforward instruction. It's quite the inspiration for me to go find my minnow trap.

excellent video, I don't know of any ponds here in southern Michigan, but I do live beside a lake with a fishable channel about 6 foot deep!! Do you happen to dig your own wigglers?

maybe this is a stupid question but do all lakes have minnows like this or similar?

Great video - and some amazing fish. I had never seen a rainbow that dark. What zone were you in? (apologies if I missed it)

I go out last weekend, get the quad stuck and break the towbar going into a lake off a logging road trying to replicate what you do. Then you post this pulling up with a buddy and a skidsteer😂😂😂. Man i brought the wrong machine! Haha good video

Galen hand lining rainbows like a boss! Man, thank god for that bob cat. Unreal brown to start they day and mannn those dark rainbows always get me. unreal gents. looks like freakin march out there with that slush. The little tube kills it again! see you boys soon!

Unreal trout action as expected my man! Sweet video dude.

Amazing! I gotta start doing this!

💯 agree the black coated traps suck idk if it's what they coat it with or what but only catch 1/2 if that with that junk lol

Boy does that bring some great memories (that's why I made my ice fishing tent we could sleep in it) we would go into a lake unhook the tent drive around with the snowmobiles spend the night let the slush freeze and catch fish .

Sweet vid Galen! Stumbled on your videos this year and inspired me to do back lake fishing for trout. Had some success on Brookies, Bows are next on the list. Going to head up that way on Saturday, do you think the slush will be frozen over?

Do you lads ever try aeroplane jigs? Bright orange jigging raps are killers for trout, gets em right worked up.

Ya man that is freaking beautiful browns. Not alot of lakes stocked here in zone 15 with them, my buddy got his splake to a taxidermist, just under 24 inches, and faaaat. 635$ and 6 months to a year shel be on the wall

Enjoyed your video. I like how you show what type of bait your using. I’m getting back into ice fishing after 35 years and I enjoy all the advise you can offer. Also, I bought a cottage on glamor near Gooderham several years ago
