Ive had the cops called on me 4 times in one day at 4 different spots for ice fishing. Its ridiculous the little things people call the cops for. I dont get why the person calling the cops just doesnt come over and say something first instead of wasting a cops time.

[@JackedJacobOutdoors]

Ct Fishing Couldn’t have said it any better myself. I’ll have someone look at me and give a friendly wave and then 30 minutes later a cop comes up and said that they called. It’s a waste of the cops time and a pain in the ass for the fisherman too

[@MatanuskaHIGH]

americans are all NARCS.. TV brainwashed people to call cops anytime anyone does anything different..people should learn to mind their own fucking business.

[@tskwared667]

I don't understand why people get so worked up over just fishing in general, it's as if the think we're there to destroy the pond or something. I've had people approach me in public parks asking if there was somewhere else I could go

[@richardoconnor7162]

It is the job of the police to inter act with the public, it is what they are paid to do so you need not do it.

[@michaelvillanueva9703]

cops should spend their time on CRIME. like the tax payers PAY them for. not ice fishing lmao

[@ajgeiger7921]

I applaud you for standing up for your right to do what you want within the law and confronting that officer in a respectful way. I have a 9 year old daughter and we watch your videos for exactly this reason you are a stand up guy and stand up for the rights we have as outdoorsman and that is hard to find these days.

[@dwightstewart7181]

Oh, come on. Private or public is irrelevant. He himself said the ice was just barely thick enough. The cop said the weather wasn't yet cold enough to make truly solid ice. The cops/rescue don't want to risk their safety and/or comfort to rescue fools. That alone should be enough, at least for anyone with an ounce of common sense.

[@somewhatintelligent7067]

[@dwightstewart7181]

Somewhat .. I am minding my own business. My taxes help pay for the people (wages, medical, recovery, etc) and equipment needed to (far too often) rescue idiots like this. Just think how much we could save if people used a little more common sense, or at least didn't expect others to save their silly butts when they got into trouble.

[@danielholtxxl4936]

duxman10 ...I met a guy on my favorite lake three years ago ice fishing and he turned out to be an off duty game warden. We talk on the phone frequently and see each other on the ice. It’s good to be on good terms with the lawman!

[@PlaneButcher]

Chris, The way you hit the auger on the ice at 3:30 is why you can’t cut a hole. Just buy new blades and never hit, ding, or smash them and it will be like butter.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Contact your local Game Warden or D.N.R. and see what they have to say about public access to these ponds. They'd have the best knowledge about game laws, ice, and access. I wouldn't trust the local cops to know trespass laws, game laws, etc. See if you can get a phone number for a Game Warden/Conservation Officer and save that to your phone for future use so if a cop harasses you again you can call the Warden in front of the Cop and maybe get some back up to your right to be legally fishing in a particular area.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

P.S. A visit to the County Courthouse Property/Zoning Office should give you info on public lands and waters where it's legal to fish without trespassing. The County Sheriff might also have good info too. I don't trust a local cop to know this kind of stuff as this generally falls outside of their normal duties. The easy solution for a local cop is to tell you that you can't fish there because he doesn't want to deal with you. That's what happened here, I think. The fact he didn't even get out of his car tells me he didn't want to deal with you and looked for the easy, for him, solution.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Sorge 616 I'll stand by my statement, rookie. Just because someone calls the cops doesn't mean that Chris doesn't have a legal right to fish there and the cop may not know that. Yes, the cop responded to the calls but upon being informed by Chris the ice was safe the cop should have left him alone and let him get back to fishing and not chase him off the ice. Like I said, the cop didn't want to deal with Chris and so took the easy way out by chasing Chris off the ice. I'd still check with a Game Warden and make sure of public property access rights. Then the next time a cop ordered me off the ice I'd have solid information to back me up. You have to stand up for yourself in this world.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Here in Minnesota all lakes, rivers, streams, reservoirs, ponds, are public waters and legal to access and fish UNLESS the water is 100% surrounded by private property, if so, then you cannot legally access that water. I'm assuming here that this pond is public water. With that in mind, the cop shouldn't have ordered Chris off the ice when told it was safe. If it is private water then Chris can't fish there. But I don't expect the cop answering the call to really know if this is a public or private pond.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Sorg616 You live your life how you want and I'll live mine how I want, and here I'll stick to my advice and not yours. Thanks.

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Wow, all this hate and anger simply because I tried to help Chris by telling him not to take this cops word that he couldn't fish this pond and to get more information about being able to fish this pond in the future... and I'm the bad guy here? smh, rookie. Chris Bulaw: Sorg616 doesn't realize it but he's making my point for me. He thinks he's got all the answers and everyone should just listen to him. There's a lot of people like that in the world and some of them have badges, guns, uniforms and handcuffs, like the cop in this video. I say, to heck with that. Do your own research and find out if you can legally fish this pond in the future. Contact your Game Warden and County Property Office. If they say it's legal to fish this pond then you're good to go and if not then you're not. But at least you will know for sure and not just take the word of someone who may or may not know what they're talking about. Don't take my word for anything either. Do your own research. There are many videos here on youtube about cops telling people they can't fish in places where they can legally fish. Just because a cop says you can't fish someplace doesn't mean they're right.

[@msmoutdoors199]

I feel bad for cops. Always getting called by loons who hate fishing for no reason

[@archmasterone]

I'd tell that donut eating prick to f off.

[@ghytd766]

Well.....I do too. However, the cop here, chose to handle this situation in not the best way. Could have just said to the person: "I'll check into it, thanks for calling."

[@beefyoso]

nobody called. when the police say "we got a call" they are always lying.

[@indynelson3114]

When you're fishing a public pond with no "no fishing" sighs and someone tries to kick you off and is being completely unreasonable, that's when you just keep fishing.

[@mynamesjohn2693]

Fishing in Illinois is way more difficult then it needs to be with all the cops.

[@lukeslemmer]

[@sinosuke12345]

Heres the thing and I live in northern IL. I fish and ice fish. Most of the time is either from people calling the cops to bitch and whine to them. Or "Local clubs" trying to pearch to you." We don't want you to be a liability" I've had cops tell me over and over again. We don't mind you fishing its just the miserble people that we have to listen to that bitch and whine. Claiming that your disturbing there peace or don't want you to be a "liability" Have or most of the police I've met fish as well. And they think is bullshit that people are just so miserble with themselves. That they have to make others around them feel like shit. Its a fact most of the time its the cop wanting to get off the ice or away from the pound. Its the locals plain and simple.

[@grantmann5784]

Yea I live in rockford Illinois and here it's some B.S. fishing here can be a hassle. And technically speaking only game wardens can check your license and make you stop fishing

[@mynamesjohn2693]

RimfireOutdoors yea I say 3 times a year someone calls the cops on me for fishing suburban ponds.

[@GenXstacker]

If it's a recurring issue, I would call the local police department ahead of time and tell them you are going ice fishing at XYZ location so if they get any calls from concerned citizens they can disregard them. If LE is uncooperative and you are sure you have the right to do it then you might even see about attending a local city council meeting that allows residents to speak briefly and raise concerns. They could look into it and notify local LE on your behalf.

[@thegrantdanielsband]

first of all, they recommend 4" to walk on and you have 3.5" 2nd you have kids watching you !! where do you think they will go when school is out? It's a matter of your safety and the kids simple 🙂

[@tracyjamestavares3255]

We use xtra large shiners when ice fishin . You got to temp adjust them or ice water throws em in shock , also add yellow food color in the shiner tub for a bit , shiners turn gold

[@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures]

I've been kicked off the ice in Edmonton Alberta in Canada as well. Same thing. Probably some clueless person called me in and the cop came out and was like, "what are you doing?" I was like... Ice fishing. He said get off the ice. Didn't explain so I had to get off. Now that I'm an old foggy I'd probably just tell them to stop harassing me. Anyways... Ice season is good up here already driving the trucks on!

[@maxchronister7713]

For a second I though you were flipping him off in the thumb nail

[@blastyfish1393]

Local DNR says not to fish on less than 4 inches of ice. Also, 2 years ago, some kid drowned after falling through 3 inch ice at west branch forest preserve not far from where you're at. I'm sure it has all the cops and forest preserve officers a little more diligent about safety. I like to fish all the ponds in that area. Hopefully I'll see you around next spring. Keep up the good work.

[@Morninggroup]

Nathan Camarena That kid was probably heavier than the average adult

[@blastyfish1393]

LBF Outdoors definitely. Because when I said kid, I meant full grown adult half my age.

[@woodethan31]

Hell, I've been fishing for almost 2 decades and I'll tell you right now it takes a serious effort to break more than 2 inches of ice without an automobile. You'd have to be jumping or literally stab the ice at your feet, unless it's weak ice which is visually noticeable by the taint in color.

[@WesleyAPEX]

The water here in Dallas only gets around 50 degrees at the coldest. Ponds icing over is rare and when they do it’s never 3” thick also ponds have to be VERY shallow to freeze here. Ice fishing would be fun but it’s impossible in Dallas. It’s possible in Amarillo Texas though so I don’t actually have to leave the state to ice fish and also i can catch cichlids like oscars and tilapia in Brownsville lol. So Texas has everything from Tropical to Desert to Swamp/Forest to Cold mountainous climates.

[@tylervisina31]

Devils Lake, ND. Giant perch, walleye, pike, and white bass. I don't fish there since moving to MN but it is world class ice fishing.

[@fishingmojados1121]

Right......... People called. Sure thing buddy.

[@xxCutlery]

Fishing Mojados as someone who knows people in law enforcement you'd be surprised at what some people call 911 for. It is definitely in the realm of possibility that someone called. Plus cops just dont randomly show up to places, they either get called or come across something on patrol. But this cop wasnt very educated on ice fishing ill give you that.

[@fishingmojados1121]

xxCutlery also in the realm that nobody called

[@TeamActionAngling]

Somebody called the cops on me from a house 500 feet away once because he *thought* I was flicking cigarette butts in the pond. Cop came, must have felt really absurd doing so, especially when I had an ashtray beside me when he got there. Some people just itching to judge.

[@xringkiller]

So what if someone called? It’s either illegal or it’s not. Just because someone called doesn’t make it wrong.

[@nolimitsamputee5219]

You could be so right about people calling. Really it could go either way. People are jerks but so are cops many times. I have been in situations when cops used the "people called" excuse and it gets old. I wish I could make up stuff to make them go away and bother real law breakers. Leave anglers alone unless they are breaking a law. Should have kept fishing Chris. What would the charge have been? Disrespecting a cop I guess. The law that is not a law.

[@debothatho5435]

Am I the only one that about died when he slammed the auger blades on the ice? Damn, good luck cutting your next hole when the ice is 4in plus. Probably why the video was edited. It took you 5 minutes to cut through 3 inches 😆

[@Al-vm7fx]

Lol honestly that’s as far as I made it. I did watch that part like five times in a row but that was it. I feel like if I watched the entire video I would have been left disappointed because slamming your auger blades on the ice like spud bar is hard to top.

[@jimberousek5127]

Check the pond down Longridge when it ices over. It's a small pond but deep. Bass gills and crappie.

[@nextraincloud1989]

A hand auger is perfect for anyone ice fishing like this, buy a blade cover, keep your blades sharp, Im from ontario my bay has like 7 inches of solid ice and my manual auger gets thru in less than a minute. All im saying is keep it sharp and it will keep you fishing

[@ryanlewis1758]

Definitely do another trip to lake winnipeg. Spend days there. Some days are amazing, some days not so much. But that 30+ walleye is why it is worth it! I was out there one day, and although I didn't catch any, met alot of friendly people with multiple catches of 30+ walleye.

I am in Port Clinton right on lake Erie and the harbors and canals are already freezing over. It's been cold here and we're expected to have a cold winter. I'd say there's a better than average chance of it freezing over this year. All the marshland around the Ohio Michigan border are frozen over already too.

[@ghnami5160]

Chris Bulaw I live in Northern Wisconsin on the Chequamegon bay of Lake Superior. If you have interest in fishing the big lake or just getting up in the northwoods where people aren't going to kick you off the ice on some of the great inland ponds here, I would enjoy showing you around my neck of the woods!

[@mattwiederholt7258]

You need to worry almost more about ice late in the season where ice is weak relative to thickness. Early in the season ice is almost always the best quality ice you’ll have.

[@keepcalmfishon2415]

Come to Colorado for ice!!! We have pike, lake trout, rainbow trout, walleye, bass, panfish, you name it!

[@ericm3493]

If you fish for carp use bread and lightly put it on the hook without squishing it so it will float. It falls off easily but the bite is a lot better. I’ve tried corn and bread balls that sit on bottom and carp just don’t bite as much

[@poopingandroid]

I live in Michigan. I will go ice fishing with you as long as you are willing to drag me out in my boat. I don't trust the ice no matter how thick you say it is.

[@mikeanonymous669]

If its a public pond and there is no law against ice fishing there then I would have told that cop that it is my job to be concerned for my safety and not his. Then I would have turned around and said that I was going back to legally take fish and if he didnt like it then arrest me and suffer the consequences of the lawsuit later. Then when I got home I would have called the DNR and filed a report with them that the officer interfered with the legal taking of fish. (against the law in many states) Then after I cooled off (or warmed up) and filed a complaint with that cops agency the next day for illegally interfering with my legal taking of fish for which i am licensed for. The machine wont fix itself. File complaints, sue for unlawful arrests, sue the police officers individually in a civil suit, sue the police agency, county it resides in and teach them a very valuable lesson. Make it easier for the next person to sue them once they are taught a lesson in court the first time. If they do it again then they cant deny that they didnt know any better.

in the cops defense if he did go through then one of them may have to risk themselves going out and getting him. in todays world unfortunatley no one wants to open themself up to a liability lawsuit so they just shut anything and everything down. we had a guy near my place over 20 years ago ride a bmx off a popular cliff jumping place about 50ft tall and got paralysed. his parents sued and somehow won so now no one can jump there anymore except the little 20ft baby cliff. people are straight retarded and expect everyone else to pay for their mistakes.

There is a public pond here in Evanston for skating... probably wouldn't let is fish there, bit there are lots of good places to fish.

Grew up in southern Minnesota a lot of great lakes in the Mankato area. Also northern Minnesota is always a safe bet to catch some fish on the ice.

I'm sure the officer was thinking about the kids, you did say the kids were watching you. They looked pretty young and I'm sure some of them were getting the idea to go out there and play. Which brings to mind why the heck are all these cities building schools by ponds or even digging ponds around schools, especially grade/elementary schools. Most kids in that age range do not know how to swim well or swim at all.

[@jeremiahkari7615]

Dang, that sucks that he kicked you off. I can see why tho, people don't understand who don't ice fish. Up here in Ely Mn we have 10-12 inches of ice already. I've already caught lots of crappie and walleye. Tight lines Chris🤙🏻

[@4115353]

[@Army_Outdoors_88N]

That's because your catching his bluegills....LOL. He's probably friends with the guy who kicked off the lake we went to

[@hughesy8411]

I can understand why he called you off say kids see you they might want to do the same and have a accident, but no fisherman wants to hear what they can and can't do lol. Love the vids you need to get the UK and catch the fish i will never catch

[@jakdfishing2562]

I live on a pond in Lombard and it has been froze over for a week. Along with a few other spots I hit in the area. Haven’t been on them yet but seeing where you were I’m sure they are good

[@TylersOutdoorAdventures]

I don’t have any ice fishing. But here in Kentucky we got prime musky fishing in the rivers. Anytime you venture south. Stop by and fish with us. Check out our channel to see what kind of adventure we have to offer

[@chrisburgdorf7469]

i do a lot of ice fishing about 4 hours south of Chicago. i went a few weeks ago and caught rainbow trout out of lake argyle, which is a state park in Illinois. some nice bluegills and bass out of a few reservoirs near there as well. come on down and ill take you to a few of my spots.

[@colehalley8765]

You should never bang your auger on the ice it will ruin your blades

[@bobseagar2839]

Cole Halley good call newbie

[@keonihillier981]

Lol no joke???

[@jsetzer3105]

Another "Pro-tip" BANG I cringed every time he threw it around - lol

[@drummingzach96]

You should try Candlewood lake in Connecticut That loaded is loaded with trout bass bluegill perch walleye crappie and pike

[@trow717]

I’ve owned tiger musky before as pets just giving you a heads up they will try to jump out of tank I had 2 die on me found them dead on floor make sure you have something heavy on lid of tank when they get to be about 6”+

[@DEADWINTER]

Yep, we do not have that problem here in MN

[@lauranblack5036]

Lmao he just hit the auger into the ice.. smh he did that to my auger he'd be buying me new blades

[@natesfishingct8865]

Cringed so hard, no wonder he can't cut a hole

[@chrisbulaw7270]

Scott nailed it, got a new one coming and these blades are pretty canned. Not much room to get worse lol

[@natesfishingct8865]

A new 30 dollar set of blades will make that old Mora cut like butter as long as the metal holding the blades didn't get bent. But I hear ya, I switched to an electric drill setup last year and it is so much nicer.

[@PlaneButcher]

I was just about to say that. One hit like that and the blades are nearly toasted

[@johnbostwick2018]

It's not that the blades get dulled it's that the angle of the fixture they bolt to gets bent. After a couple of good shots like that one it doesn't matter how sharp the blades are, it still won't cut.

[@ismaelaceves7217]

When a person who lives outside of Chicago says they are from Chicago.... Suburbanians I swear.... Hahaha I'm messing with you man, good video have a great merry Christmas and happy new years :)

[@vengfulpker6905]

Come up to Minnesota and have a meet up I'd love to have a bunch of us out on the ice slamming some SLABS!

[@xELCHEETOx]
