A Day of Ice Fishing I will NEVER forget! | Lake Trout BANG!

[@joshbraun3743]

About to watch this video and you can tell by the title it’s gonna be a “banger”! I appreciate that Clayton doesn’t put stupid clickbait titles on his videos and I appreciate that he puts our family friendly content.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

AND I appreciate you watching! :)

[@emmetkirchman]

Such an underrated KZbinr. Best ice fishing content on the internet 🙌🙌

[@korycolorado]

Can't get anything done this morning, Bassmaster early, Jay puts out a video then Clay throws down. Its a good day!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

YES!

[@kava8902]

Dude...I know I've said this many times over the years, but you are awesome! Your videos are awesome! It's not only because you catch trophy fish, but the content, hanging out feel, videography, editing, information and expertise on the equipment and gear, use of electronics (video, audio and fishing electronics). It's just a joy to watch your videos. And just when I think you can't add more to the videos, you throw in a little fireworks show? You maniac! 😂

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thanks for the love as always! Sure hope to stay relevant for a couple more years yet :)

[@brianharrington5593]

You and Jay have done a very great service to the fishing community in getting the message out on proper handling of your prized catches. CONGRATS to Both of you.!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thank you! Going to keep pushing the handling for sure!

[@TheJesse1515]

It’s awesome you gave us almost an hour of fishing! That’s better than any show on TV

[@BirchBarkOutdoors]

Love the teaching of taking care of your fish. Its always good to know you are recycling smiles as Joe Holland says.

[@claytondrought44]

awesome day on the ice

[@i3uzzbait905]

Could you make a video showing some contoured lake maps and walk us through the process you use to find fish or find decent spots to setup your shack? I know you have made videos describing where you go to fish theoretically, but walking us through your process from boat ramp to shack setup on top of these spots utilizing GPS and mapping would be incredibly helpful. I just pieced together my livescope shuttle and finally having access to accurate GPS and maps is overwhelming!

[@hairmandan]

That was great Clayton, I was hoping in my chair when you where fighting the biggest one! The excitement is better that any TV show out there! Keep up the great content!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@FLUTTERYO]

Thank you for always giving tips on how to take care of the fish we catch. In all honesty, I did not grow up that way.. but I am learning from you and Jay how to take better care of them... responsible fishin 🤘🎣😊

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

You are so welcome!

[@joryhaken4589]

Great video, Clayton! As always! Congrats on another giant fish as well. Maybe not a PB but no one will be complaining about a fish like that! 🙌

[@joegilbert693]

Enjoy your videos. I hope to apply some of your techniques here in Wyoming. I appreciate how carefully you handle fish and get them back in the water quickly. Great job! 👍

[@massermichael]

Great video Clayton, love the underwater footage. I love watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing your hard work.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thank you for watching them!

[@ernsthorn2788]

Good ending! I like how you broke it up with some questions and answers part way through rather than one exhaustive video of only questions. That was some fine fishing. Kudos on your skills!

[@andrewpiotrowski-ep4sf]

Fantastic Video! Just a 44.25! 😂 Laker King!!! Keep it up Clayton your Laker videos are the absolute best Laker videos out there. Nice to know you have rough days as well the day before. Help me get out of my Kickerfish funk. Amazing what tournament fishing can do to a guy. Roller coaster of emotions.

[@kylewilliams6349]

Athapap kicked my butt today rain amd crazy wind hopefully better day tomorrow re watching vids to pump me up for tomorrow lets gooo

[@TheJesse1515]

Man. Can’t ever get them to eat it in the dirt! Great hook set bud!

[@msfishing-gq6yz]

I always geek out when you catch a big one... I'm in my living room going CRAZY seeing you pull these fish through the hole!!! Love the content, you make the most wholesome fishing videos 💛

[@Fishgutz-jd8fj]

Bazinga!! big fish Day, The Schtick hammers them again, nice job.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Pays to be lucky!

[@scottspradau3067]

Clayton, uda man! What a slay-day! Thanks for taking us along. Those were all respectable fish but the last one was just a tank! “I can’t lie”, I got nervous for you when you switched hands to land it and then it went back down. Thankfully, you handled it like a pro!!! Great video...just like being there with you. Keep up the great work!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I still remember the fish going back down, and all I could think was I was going to lose it and then be mad at myself for making such a horrible mistake.

[@davidwarner2768]

Im SUPER appreciate for all the lake trout videos this year. I’ve been using them as motivation/education to try and catch my first laker this year, and today it finally happened!!! 33” and very healthy. Ate a herring on my deadstick right on the bottom just like you were saying. Stay gravy!

[@knezzer]

My kids and I love watching you and your fishing adventures. We're stuck inside because we have a major snowstorm today.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

We got a pile of snow as well!

[@christianskinner1903]

the best barbecue sauce out there man this guy is a pro!!

[@nathanfriesen2351]

Clayton, you nearly gave me a heart attack when you were going to throw the brisket down the hole...lol. Thankfully, it was all just a joke. Oh and what a day of Lake Trout Fishing, some absolute Tanks and quality Lake Trout mixed in! Way to go Clayton!

[@jcollyer135]

Old grandpa lips! lol I love it when you get nervous, you just know it’s gonna be a huge fish! I had a slow, cold and windy, day on the ice, it was fun to come home to this! You have not said your ‘relax’ word in a while. What it’s it, chakia, or takia maybe?? Awesome video!! Happy for you!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I was 100% nervous! :)

[@joshdahling1191]

Clayton if you ever want to come down to Red wing mn for spring walleye fishing let me know I'll be glad to house you and go fishing

[@RyanDavis-rz3is]

Amazing video! Congratulations. I appreciate your conscientiousness with the fish. Please keep preaching.

[@GoodTimeCatchers]

Sweet baby ray is one of the best! Love making deer jerky with it!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I will have to remeber that!

[@jasonfisher281]

🔥🔥Clayton thanks for keeping it real. This one day could have been 2 great vids. Not for CSO! You show full dud day then this epic day!🔥

[@corylidwin9068]

Great video, great stories by a great teacher. Thank you

[@patgingras5974]

Another banger of a video Clayton! The fireworks at the end were a nice touch!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thanks dude!

[@mikhalester1027]

Fantastic fish! 🎉I've caught alot of Lakers with that size dragon slayer! Frostbite knows what they are doing!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Such a good bait!

[@sonnenburgoutdoors]

Excellent video as always!!! Thanks for all your work👍👍🐟🐟

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thank you for watching!

[@shelleyszulinszky9732]

Cheers. By the way that fish fought I thought it was it. The new PB victory. Darn that was a beautiful fish. Always a great vid. ❤️✌️👍

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was very close!

[@darianvandermeulen964]

Love it Clayton! What a fish!

[@gracekoivu3650]

Awesome videos love these videos. We watch them at work waiting for flights to come in

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate you watching the videos :)

[@adammead8197]

Wow! What a great sesh. Quality info as well. Cheers bud!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers man!!

[@gordonbuss2581]

Clayton you hit the nail on the head about keeping fish out of water too long. Too meny folks don't drill live wells on the ice leave the fish put freez eyes keep preaching the good fish handling skills

[@thomasschafer846]

Yeah Baby. Rockin it. Awsome Video.

[@beigne70]

One day with Clayton would make a master fisherman.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

oh man... I don't know about that :) Cheers!

[@JeffK1962]

Great fish. Definately a huge difference from previous day. Five very nice fish comgratz!!! Great content like usual

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

BIG difference for sure!

[@ezrawarkentinsoutdoors]

What an amazing video !! Love to watch these videos with HUGE fish! Just wondering what your PB is that you are trying to beet?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

44.5" through the ice :)

[@ezrawarkentinsoutdoors]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoorsoh man that was close!

[@northerngirlhobbies]

Excellent fishing and info! Certainly helps having the equipment so you're not blind fishing. Great stuff! 🎣 🇨🇦

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

100% It does help a LOT!

[@marcelbergeron5345]

Great job!! What a day!!

[@ronvroom5920]

Show us your technique for drilling double ice hole.

[@KyleWard-tg2qq]

Great day on the ice can’t wait to get up there this spring and for two week trip this summer

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

YES!! Cheers!

[@Austinlittleoutdoors]

I absolutely love your videos man

[@SaskWalleyeSlayer]

Wow, that was a slam fest, Clay! Loved sharing the moment where you almost broke your pb... what a he'll of a fish ! We've struggled the last couple of days for lakers. Love the one liners " risk it for the brisket" and " wanna come see dentist clayton to get that hook out of your mouth" 😂😂😂

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Crazy day!! I know the struggle for sure! BUT some amazing days make up for everything!

[@ziongal333]

Amazing work! Love how that big one ate it on the fall.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was fun to watch that!

[@robertsanders6463]

Thank you Clayton.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

You are so welcome!

[@smittysroguehunterz3574]

Excellent video heading to cold lk this weekend for 3 nights on ice jig fest

[@megadeth6756]

love the fireworks to end it haha. Always appreciate you talking about fish handling.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was fun to light them off!

[@TheSideGigGuru]

Definitely hunting to top your master angler Brisket fish 😅 What a fun video!

[@mattbrown7483]

drone footage of fireworks was epic. great fish 441/4, always good stuff Clayton..

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Wish I was better with cameras, drones etc haha :)

[@trenth9919]

Great video! Glad I'm not the only one that sits on a spot all day and gets excited when ANY mark appears. But around here, if you're fussing with the "little'rs" you'll seldom catch a "good'r". Of course he's Clayton Schick and I stole those terms. 😂

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Pull away from the little ones :)

[@brandonwesterlaken7507]

What a way to end a weekend laker trip 🎉

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

YES! Cheers!

[@dalbert4991]

What a beauty!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@paul340mopar]

When those 2 Fish came in as 1 Mark, I thought it really was a Shark! 🦈🦈

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

At first I thought it was one giant one too!!

[@chrisb5023]

My dear lord!! What a beast of a laker!!! I wish we had them here in SE Ontario!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

We grow them big up here :)

[@gregporth356]

A nice Sunday treat. Awesome work dude, love the fireworks too 🍻

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers to you and Emery!

[@bobbysimeoni]

Hey Clayton what kind of braid do you use on your ice fishing laker rods?

[@zachfarkash6430]

Awesome video Clayton? Awesome fish Like the fireworks at the end too that was pretty cool

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thanks man!! Cheers!

[@SodakFishing]

Another amazing video 🔥🔥🤘🤘

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@chrisreilly6552]

awww I sooo though the 2nd big one was going to eat, awesome video!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Would have been pretty epic if it did!!

[@randygagnon9175]

That's some beauty lakers! Awesome video!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was a crazy day!

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@erics667]

WOW!! What's your PB Lake Trout Clayton?

[@FishinBud]

Nice video...great message at end.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!!

[@FishinBud]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors You too buddy!

[@bmsegl]

Hey Clayton! I love your videos, thank you for the great content! We also have the Eskimo Outbreak 450. Wondering why you don’t use the poles on either side of the door on your Eskimo?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Appreciate you watching! I just feel like you don't need the poles at all, they make it more sturdy yes, but I find it's not something you HAVE to use.

[@Homebodyhomestead]

It was so nice to hear of you having a bad day the day before lol, not many people that fish for a living would be willing to share that but it was relatable and comforting - I caught nothing my last time out for lakers. Also, where did you get that table in your tent??

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I have VERY tough days too! That is from Canadian tire. 5 foot folding bench.

[@Gloch9]

Another epic video! Unreal!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@joelwiebe8703]

Big smoak is from steinback Manitoba. Got a chuckle when you said he does ship to Canada now 🤣

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

As in he only ships to Canada, and before he never shipped at all?

[@chrishamilton2519]

Damn what a beauty!! I’d be lying if I said my heart wasn’t pounding a bit during that fight. Love the vids. Keep it up

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was pounding for me too

[@whitet1274]

You had a swivel in the last video using spoons. Do you ever use a swivel when using the big tubes for lakers? I get a ton of line twist jigging the big tubes

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I run a FG knot for lake trout because I like a longer leader. The line twist thing is annoying though 100%

[@whitet1274]

Can you explain sometime how you rig the dragon slayer? I saw on this one what jig head you use, thanks! that part is awesome. But when you run the hook through it, is it flat tail to top an bottom, or flat tail side to side?

[@mattress2331]

Love seeing you get a Gooder! Great video!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was a VERY fun fish!

[@trevorrodd4983]

Awesome video! Appreciate you preaching fish handling. Unfortunately people here in MN who film for KZbin don’t have much ethics. Have saw quite a few videos of trophy fish getting their eyes frozen because they need a perfect shot for KZbin.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I hate to see it... Sucks...

[@FLUTTERYO]

🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈 👍👍 Letsssss Goooooo!!! Awesome catch, Yo!!! If I caught that.. everyone within a miles distance would hear me 😂😂❤🤘 🎣

[@acmund]

Exercise enough to get your heart rate up. Then, keep your head under water for as long as you can. This is what a large fish feels like when pulled out of the water.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Pretty much sums it up!

[@zachnicklas8030]

I also tie braid too my leader with a FG knot, but do you worry or have any line twist ? I don't like to have a swivel but I've noticed some line twist.

[@Matthewlindberg-gd6qn]

Clayton i like to watch your videos only and some other videos.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Means a lot!

[@miketrout1361]

Awesome catch and video! 👏👏👏

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!

[@joereidoutdoorsman.3136]

What were ice conditons like in canada thos year? Were you affected like the midwest. It was our warmest year on record here in Wisconsin. Great video

[@Brownshabsfan]

The hoodie is 🔥🔥🔥

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I love that hoodie!

[@seanbennett7916]

Hundreds of lakers but still looking for a 40, you make it look so easy but im in Wi lake superior. They are here but 2 years now didnt get out , no ice.

[@dillonh561]

Chikai!! Chikai!!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

YES !

[@davidwarner2768]

Do you ever run tip ups for lakers? I’m used to pike fishing where I spread out as many tip ups as I can, but I wasn’t sure if tip ups work well for lakers, or perhaps an iFish pro/ finicky fooler

[@TheJesse1515]

How do you keep your baits from getting crazy line twist without a swivel? I know you guys who chase the big ones don’t use them. But if I don’t use one with tubes or spoons, my bait will look like the Gravatron when I pull it out of the water

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

Clayton gets it done again! Good job buddy!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Better to be luck than good!

[@dustinliddle155]

We're u get the grate to cook on the buddy heater great video love watching

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Just a an old painters grill

[@qouavang3646]

I know you already answered a question about how to find fish, but question is when did hou know when it was time to move with just the traditional flasher not having LS? What mindset do you yourself in to stay in the game?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Really the flasher wouldn't change anything for me. Like I said in the video, I am more likely to move quicker if I am fishing a new spot.. BUT doesn't mean I would rule that spot out yet. I am more willing to put time in at a spot I have confidence in. Also if I am seeing bait come around I am more likely to stick around longer as well.

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice !

[@seanbennett7916]

I know your canada, but the lakers are lakers cept the siscowets, you fish so shallow even in thunder bay we fished 150, in Wi on Superior i never fish shallower most over 200 ft. Would be so great if one of you laker fishers could come on a good ice year and make some content. I cant catch them shallow in many years, if its under 125 ft its just a bonus fish.😊

[@Test-ct9tv]

Wow!! Awesome video as always👍 is it the ski-doo thats misfiree at the end?😉🤣

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

HA!

[@gregoryfuzi4745]

My uncle used to tell me he liked catching fish that were 4 inches long between there eyes. Seam's like you think the same way . I love my uncle thought me everything I know got pic's to prove it. Good luck outside Clayton you keep smashing them.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

My passion is chasing the big fish 100%

[@ryanfortin3452]

Just love ur video thanks u umade me a better fisher all the way from ottawa ontario

[@stevewashere4122]

Wow!

[@captynkirk1970]

3 more weeks! Can’t wait. Question for you. Do you pre chum the water with sucker or whatever prior to starting your videos? I am hearing chumming is the way to go? Curious if that’s the way to go?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I do NOT like to chum, I feel that it ruins fisheries.

[@captynkirk1970]

Thanks for the info. I will pass that on to our group. I figured you never did as you never have mentioned it before.

[@dylangiles2624]

Clayton jay today made a video about ar glasses for livescope and I like to hear your thoughts about it? Awesome video love Lakers

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I just saw the video! Pretty crazy! Not sure what to say about them yet haha I am sure there is a use for them 100%
