Thank you for covering Whitefish! I've fished the Great Lakes for over 40 years. My home port is in the UP on Lake Superior in the Porcupine Mountains area. We often target Whitefish, when we know they are around and plentiful, because they fight hard, are plentiful and they taste great. Verticle jigging is best, but we often keep a couple of smaller spoons with# 3 trebles in the spread when we know they are around. The # 3 holds the other fish in the Lake better than a # 4 but is still small enough for Whitefish to inhale. But, hook size is key as well as downsizing a couple spoons. And yes, large salmon and trout will nail a smaller spoon and some days it makes a difference. Structure and humps with baitfish are what to look for.

Love the up

[@battlefieldchris]

Did I miss the part were he explains the type of tackle to use? "everything you need to know" "Catching Whitefish 101"

[@BCyr1991]

Looks like James is using a Jigging rap. I would assume those, Vibratos, and Blade Baits would also work great. Jigging spoons, I know some people who use small jigs and wax worms under slip floats.

[@Roooobbbeeeeerrr]

They said jigging spoons

[@chadthiem8371]

they feed on small perch fry. jigging raps and heavy lead spoons with a perch pattern should do you wonders. snap jig off bottom or something they like a slower more delicate presentation but very rarely have i found them not to take it while snap jigging. good luck and tight lines

[@todds5956]

There is nothing better than a fresh Lake Superior whitefish fillet.

[@albertapikewalleye6833]

Nice job on the whitefish 👍🐟

[@DolphLongedgreens]

I just love the flavor of these.

[@larryhernandez5062]

In Fairbanks Alaska In The Chena River I've caught Sheefish of Seven To Eighteen Pounds On Plastic In Deep Holes Found While Burbot Fishing It's Fun . . . Generally speaking Inconnu (Sheefish )is A Name That The Inpiats From Selawik - Kobuk Areas Of Alaska Call These Nutritional Fish . Stay Frosty All

[@conormason8989]

Always bleed out the fish ! Never let them sit

[@RobertChristianBand]

Please dispatch and bleed out your fish before putting it in the cooler. It's the most humane way and the fish actually taste better.

[@bannedagain1483]

Its not always expedient to do them one at a time. If we are smashing them we will catch 4 or 5 then bleed them together for efficiency.

[@wigglywill]

@@bannedagain1483 efficiency isn't the concern, it's humane harvesting practices

[@bannedagain1483]

@@wigglywill say high to your hackey sack friends for me

[@rottenanimal619]

I've seen 3 1/2 foot whitefish taken out of Georgian bay.

[@tieoneon1614]

Good info, I can find them thru the ice but cant open water. Also am amazed by the amount of SnowFlake Yuppies crying bout killing the fish. They should go buy their fish and meat from the grocery store, where no animals were harmed...

[@twopassionsfishing386]

Great video friend

[@tonys1641]

What kind of lures are you using and what line is best? Thanks!:)

[@dwetick1]

Lake Simcoe has the whitefish.

[@FrogFishLeezerd]

Would ja look at that there...could be Ed Bassmaster's cousin? LOL

[@MitchHeil]

Why did you re-post this video? I remember watching this exact video earlier this year and probably once last year. Don't get me wrong, its great info, but just wondering why it was being re-posted.

[@adamcurrent2865]

So blessed to be born and raised in West Michigan here you can Hunt in the fall through December 1st and then gear up for fishing I love this land.

[@RebelFishermanReferrals]

NICE!

[@croixchristenson]

What baits do you use for whitefish?

[@larryhernandez5062]

Probably The Sizes Of The Fish ,And Area Your Fishing . Start my be With Half inch to Five inch Plastic That Looks Like The Local Bait Fish , And Try Spoons Of Different Sizes weights ( half once , One Once Or Micro Jigs Of Different Sizes , And , Colors , Weights ) . . . Obviously There Jigging For The White Fish

[@Alex-ey2lq]

Under one oh one I understand something else so technically I know as much as I is a new before

[@jounik5728]

with that boat can buy many fish

[@zbassr2106]

Was this in MN?

[@EvansBoy1992]

What is that giant - like whitefish called?

[@Polly_Ticks]

Inconnu

[@benzlee8538]

What lake is this?

[@krugerm1]

What lure did you use??

[@Roooobbbeeeeerrr]

Jigging spoons

[@pgal6904]

They do look like a giant minnow

[@xloccs]

How far do you cast?

[@abigbutt2966]

Into the crevasse of ass

[@trevornewton9687]

And Alaska

[@sayantandasgupta9605]

These fish have as much omega-3 as those Alaskan salmon, much easy to cook and digest, and comes in 2/3 rd the price of a wild salmon.

[@danfish4life249]

Do the same with all fish in warm weather. BUT don't drop a five pound bag of ice on your first fish. Take the ice out of the bag man.

[@andrewhampson5162]

Dude in the red shirt is annoying

[@Xtian602]

milkfish

[@dalehuhtala9285]

Wow, you put the fish live into your cooler? Talk about cruel! Around here, that is highly illegal...because it's cruel and unusual to a live animal. Kill it first...sheesh.

[@5urg3x]

Poor fish... catch and release !
