Hey, loved the your/uncut origin story. It would be cool to have you or both of you do a sit down and hash over some old unreleased footage and/or stories of the old days.

[@CastleBrookKrew]

The original Siemens and Weibb combo was so deadly. His camera work with Aaron's personality was just chemistry.

[@JaySiemens]

I’m sure there is some pretty funny stuff hiding on Aaron’s harddrives haha

[@CastleBrookKrew]

@@JaySiemens nothing against your videos now, they are still just as good an informative. I honestly can't believe more people don't watch these.

[@mcguireoutdoors5187]

Jay consider trying to get Uncut Angling in another video of yours. Would be fun

[@JaySiemens]

One day!

[@603lunkerhunter8]

Yeah he's like a mythical creature rarely seen

[@Gridlessness]

Jay, thanks so much for informing us about the CANADIAN MOOSE NEST! People NEED TO KNOW THIS!!!

[@JaySiemens]

SPREAD THE WORD

[@Benny0007]

is it actually a moose nest i could not tell if he was joking? i thought it was just a beaver lodge

[@jasseagraves]

Awesome hearing the start of uncut. Miss that guys face. Hope all is well with him. And hope to see more him soon.

[@LuRanOutdoors]

Love hearing the stories of the past!!! Thanks for being so open with the audience!!

[@markgolden1418]

I love the heartfilled look back on the start of uncut angling. I wish i could make videos of me fishing and my crazy adventures.

[@mattbrown7483]

Great video, Kudos to you Jay for giving Brandon the chance to work for you. He's definitely a valuable asset. Kudos to Brandon on his first musky and hook in the thumb. Thank god the hook was already out of the musky's mouth when he got stuck, it could have been a lot worse. Glad he was able to continue fishing.

[@JaySiemens]

I’m lucky to have Brandon!

[@upallnyte2000]

Loved listening to Brandon fishing! Good video!

Great vid Jay! Keep grinding!!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks Michael!

[@fishn365]

Many anglers overlook the need to have adequate first aid kits. Especially when it comes to boats. Have assisted in the removal of a few hooks, using the two line method.

[@FondelMikeRotch]

What the hell you need two lines for? Always used one

[@fishn365]

@@FondelMikeRotch the first line goes around the bend. The second doesn't do anything except act as a distraction for the guy that's hooked. I make them focus on holding the second line, that isn't wrapped around anything other than my finger. Then, while they are holding it, I always tell them, "OK, I'm going to pull on three, you just hold on that line in your hand....one, two, yank" Has worked every time.

[@JaySiemens]

Yup!

[@wynnedel8097]

What a great video, I’m interested in the kayak setup, looks like so much fun. Stay safe and thanks for sharing! Cheers

I love smaller black and white bucktails like Buchertails and Northland Birdshots. Definitely my confidence bait. Nothing wrong with catching some smaller muskies on them too.

[@JaySiemens]

They are so effective!

[@jeroenschoondergang5923]

Funny to learn that Canadian moose nest at the water's edge. Swedish moose mostly nest in trees.. forest strolls are bloody dangerous in May an June..

Always used the line method. Works well, I say pull on the count 3, but give it to er when you count 1. Pops right out.

[@JaySiemens]

Next time I will!

[@MrCrazyman1535]

this got me pumped up for musky fishing out of the kayak this weekend. Let's go Brandon!!!

[@JaySiemens]

Yesssssssss

[@robertprater7312]

I actually had the pleasure of trying a Canadian Moose egg this winter. You can make a whole meal out of it! Very nutritious.

[@sledslasher26]

Just for the future knipex bolt cutters are a must have when musky fishing. Takes no pressure to cut the hooks, they have saved me more times then I can count!

[@JaySiemens]

Yup! Knifex are great as well, mine do the same thing

[@tomdombrovski2782]

Are you guys crazzo..moose laying eggs gave me a great laugh..he isn't saying goose he says moose and how they are territorial which is true but who actual could believe cow the largest of the deer family lays eggs hahahahahaha

[@dalbert4991]

That's a goodie!!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks for watching!

[@jam1324]

Got one in my forearm like that earlier this year. Had to cut it off the treble and then push the hook back out through the skin because the barb wouldn't let go of my flesh and I couldn't back it out. Feel for ya Brandon. Bolt cutters saved the day in both our cases! We only had a big set on hand.

[@JaySiemens]

Bolt cutters are key!

Barbless the only way my guy haha 😂

[@JaySiemens]

Haha sometimes

[@swivels]

"Jay can go.... FISH ON" 🤣🤣

[@JaySiemens]

Hahaha, I want to know what he was going to say.

[@AaronHendu]

I got one treble from an old Canadian Wiggler in the arm about a decade ago...with a 30" pike still attached to the other, thrashing away like mad. Was in a canoe and didn't think anything of pulling a green pike in with no net, landed a ton of fish in the canoe before. Luckily my cousin pulled the pike off real quick and didn't tip the canoe or anything. It bunched up a ton of skin on my forearm and the barb poked out the other side, so it honestly didn't hurt much more than a needle prick. I remember looking at the scenario unfold and thinking it was gonna though. Just cut the barb off and you could barely tell it happened...just two pin holes about 3" apart. That's the worst I've ever got hooked.

[@JaySiemens]

Ouch! Glad you got it out.

As a kid growing up in the 70s I spent 6 weeks every summer at Lake Wahtopanah in Manitoba. Are you familiar with it? Just started watching you. great job.

[@garybrungardt2680]

I feel your pain Brandon. Never fun to hook oneself.

[@JaySiemens]

He took it like a champ!

[@WetBandits69420]

i have hooked myself a few times with deep barbs. I manage to get it out in the field by pushing the none barbed side in so the barb can slide back out the wound and i dont have to pull very hard, but push very hard.

[@wiscofish3648]

When it happens once it makes you want to go barbless for life! I remember having a treble cut out with a razor blade, because it was hooked in a way that it couldn't be pushed out.

[@JaySiemens]

Yeah, it’s not fun!

[@chrisrielly1739]

What rods were you using they look like they’d be good for pike and muskies if I get the chance.

[@thomasjamesfenton4317]

Excellent tip for those who haven't traveled to the north during moose rut. Avoid/respect the moose nest.

[@JaySiemens]

🙏

[@arthursamazingactivities1319]

I hope I get one today

[@MilestoneGarden306]

ahh i feel this. I took a 3" rattlin rap to the shin with a 3lb jack hanging off it. Two barbs in the leg. It was not fun.

Unhooking his finger made me sweat. I did that twice in 2 days after never doing it once in 20 years. Both were in bad spots. First went through the tendon on my pointer finger.(hospital trip) second I kinda just cut the barb out with a razorblade.

Yup, barbless hooks are definitely easier for pulling out of your body!

[@JaySiemens]

[@WoodenFishh]

Excellent job! I can't help but think that the Musky (fish of 10,000 casts) and Steelhead (fish of 1,000 casts) should switch titles. I've swung flies for winter steelhead for about 350 river hours and have only had one grab, while these gents go and land 10 with another 3 slashes in 8 hours. 10,000 casts my butt...

[@Monkeyman121244]

The Lake must have recently been stocked with musky. they were all quite small and roughly the same size.

[@JaySiemens]

Haha, I think it all depends a lot on the lake/river

[@nduncs12]

@Infinite 8s ahhh makes sense. Weird that there’s lakes with muskie and no pike. Definitely a place to go if you’re looking to catch your first

[@nduncs12]

@Infinite 8s but in fact there is rivers stocked with musky in Ontario. They stocked st Lawrence in 2019 because the numbers were getting low from the gobies eating musky eggs.

[@21cranberries21]

Moose nest?

[@pokerflush29]

Hang on a sec. that’s where the moose will lay its eggs??? I’m confused as shit. Stop messing with me Jay.

[@JingaBBB]

I find it so weird how people love musky but hate pike. The aggressiveness is just the same, the strikes, the fight, the runs. The SIZE. Pike are way more abundant and take lures way more often. In my opinion it’s much easier to get into 40”+ pike consistently and way easier to access, musky is more time spent for less result. I’m not against either, both great fish imo. It’s just so weird to try to make logic out of the concept people have surrounding these two fish when there’s little to no differences, actually more positives on the pike side of “fishing” as a whole.

[@vincentgagnon3114]

[@spcvicar3240]

Why not send out Sam and Brandon to fish, Jay can come along just to film...or maybe help keep the lures wet because you can never fish with a dry lure.
