16 Northern Pike ICE Fishing

This was a fun day ice fishing for Northern Pike with the kids and Zach. Catching fish all day using smelt, herring, tip-ups and rods and reels. ENJOY!

I have said it once before, I am not a fan of ice fishing (even though I am from Maine), but man, you guys are making that look fun!

Thanks for watching! How did you like the editing on this one? Do you like short cuts keeping the action nonstop? Or should I have some longer catches and tell more of a story?

@@Montucky_Matt That is a tough question to answer. Personally, I don not mind the longer videos if it is content I find interesting. For instance, if I get up on a Saturday morning, settle in with my steaming hot black coffee and find someone I subscribe to has posted a 52 minute video that is from a three day camping and fishing trip, I figure, "Well, my next fifty- two minutes is all set. I know what I am doing." However, most audiences prefer shorter content. When I first started posting content, my videos were 16- 22 minuted long. A friend of mine helped me realize audiences seem to prefer shorter content (people just don't have the attention span to stick with a video). Since then, I have tried to have a target length of 12- 13 minutes for "full length" videos. I have recently been uploading "shorts" on KZbin and those have really taken off for me..... views are higher, retention is up, subscribers are up, watch time is up. Thanks for asking. I don't mind helping out when asked.
