Giant Lake Trout | Cooking up a Trout!

[@adamkoindustries88]

Well, I just spent 2 days trout fishing and caught 1 burbot, 1 pike, and 1 walleye. I’m glad you are the one making videos and not me. Awesome stuff!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Oh man! That is a tough go!

[@adamkoindustries88]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors That’s the way she goes sometimes!

[@jardy6155]

Love your cooking recipes usually enjoy that more than the fishing part !!! Excited to try this but with walleye !!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It's really good with Walleye as well :)

[@Nick-dd2xg]

That was so badass seeing those fish come all the way up to the surface, completely unphased by the boat

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

They are so much fun to watch!

[@jackoff8919]

Personally lake trout is so underrated in my opinion. Quite possible one of my favorite fish to eat!

[@TheJesse1515]

I know it’s going to be a good second half of the day when your new video is at the top of my feed!

[@MrHarryson1985]

By the way, because I forgot to mention it; Great to see you back Clayton!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Thanks dude!

[@munchems]

Clayton, where do you get your tubes? I can’t seem to find anything that big near me.

[@Jiordanios]

This got me amped for my weekend of fishing coming up!

[@frontierfishingwithRyanMacD]

That shorelunch looked deadly good there Clayton!! Oh how I miss having those!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It was yummy!!

[@darcybain2657]

gosh you have the best recipes definitely going to try that one, went up on lake nippissing couple weeks ago by myself, did a couple catch and cooks, for some reason they always taste better LoL, great video

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Open fire always is the best :)

[@dalbert4991]

I could watch your vids all day long, Clayton!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Much appreciated!

[@adammead8197]

Nice hog Laker bud! Sweet recipe too. Thanks Clayton.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Cheers!

Good ol past Clayton he's such a positive guy 💪😎👍🇨🇦

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Always :)

[@dallasw2664]

Went walleye fishing with family 2 days this weekend. Pulled in 200 fish and 1 29 Inch walleye!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

That is a smash fest!

[@connelevish3797]

Went walleye fishing with me dad like 20 times, caught nothing but bass and pike

[@randygagnon9175]

Awesome! Looks delicious!

[@stephaniecooper8206]

We tried this recipe with some rainbows this week and it was AMAZING!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

YES!! Glad you tried it!

[@nellieupnorth4960]

Nice Giant! Love cooking fish on an open fire like that... So Good

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Me too!

[@joshmo5575]

Do you already have a video on how you target lake trout? I fish lake simcoe with my family and can never seem to find active lake trout. They are always very slow and rarely chase.

[@Scrobner]

I have a good idea for a video: future Clayton should travel back in time 30 years or so, and fish with only technology from that era. Would be cool to see the difference.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I don't think I would enjoy that as much.... I love the technology and learning more about what the fish are doing.

[@differentfins]

30 years ago I would bet the fishing was so good that the high tech equipment wouldn't make a difference. Fishing without technology will continue to get harder as our equipment progresses. Fishing pressure is ever increasing. That being said using the tech is fun and we just need to be more conservation minded to preserve the resource.

[@bilbilly625]

There is a reason there are bag limits in place for both hunting and fishing. The tech is there dont be a scrub and use it if you can afford it.

[@chefwild2table61]

Dude that trout was aweosme

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Was so much fun!

[@johngeissel5021]

Another great video😊 love your ice fishing trip. What brand of rod were you using on this video? Thanx

[@kanalgratisdotcom]

Need to catch a big laker so bad!! Awesome video man!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

We will hook up one day! :)

God damn ! Lol also im so glad i ran into you channel buddy. I got so much catching up to do plus you post on the reg. Im still waiting to hit the ice 😄 but some lake sharks an tubes i couldnt stay away from

[@RSVPxShadow]

Hey legend what lure are you using? I'm new to lake trout fishing as I moved over from Australia just recently. Cheers

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

6" Chartreuse Tube Jig :)

[@keos9388]

Sweet video Clay! I gotta try that if I ever keep one. Hey you should get a shirt made with just a chartreuse tube jig on it lol just sayin. Fish on buddy-!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I like the shirt idea!

[@MrHarryson1985]

Would you consider using a rattle bait in the summer/fall?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Yes I would, I just like something that fall fast!!

[@TheJesse1515]

What’s the water temp roughly right now? Want to try and chase em when the water cools down in a month or so. Find the big mammas

[@chrisgaudino7350]

How did that storm ever turn out on the way home, Clayton? Did you dodge it?

[@NorthernOntarioOutdoors]

Looks like that captains chair needs a smooth moves base, much easier on the back

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

That would be nice!

[@Gumby905]

So what do I look for if im fishing lake trout in ontario in northern waters. Ive never tried but simcoe and the muskokas have lakers and i dont know where to start. Do i just look for humps like walleye? I guess in the spring they go shallow so i can cast swimbaits along the shore no? I dunno lol. Im more of a bass, pike, bowfin, sheephead, channelcat. Dont do trout and salmon but lakers are probably my favourite in those 2. Obviously no mega live. Just old school. 🤙🏻

[@Efish3]

Nice fish! Going to have to try that recipy

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

It's so good!

[@normsancartier4350]

Great to see your back buddy !!!! I’m off to buy some dill .

Cheers!

[@Mackerel1801]

Hey I loved the video I live in Saskatchewan and my dream job is to guide how should I get started

[@TheKodiakWay]

I'm curious about your MegaLive settings- it's so clear! I'm in Oregon, and chasing lakers this way but my fish are in 120-150 feet, and I'm having a heck of a time filtering out the noise.

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

125-150 feet is pretty deep... I don't know if I could get a clear image and see fish in that much depth.

[@TheKodiakWay]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors It's definitely pushing the limits/capabilities! Soon as I pulled back in the driveway it dawned on me to turn off all my other transducers to possibly clear the noise. 🤦‍♂️

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

@@TheKodiakWay that does help a little for sure

[@TheEzrider403]

NICE !

[@freds280]

What’s the mount for mega live you are using there ? Looking for a good mount like that

[@freds280]

Thanks so much Clayton !! I’m Canadian (Ontario) and have been looking for a good mounting option and this looks absolutely great ! I appreciate the response

[@kylejordan2654]

The closest lake to me with Lakers is soooo finicky and almost always choppy when I get out there. A few weekends ago we were put trolling with down riggers for them couldn't hook up.

[@seriousfaceop]

What's the device you use on your chest, doe it mark locations or log how many bites you got?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Around my neck area? That is my microphone.

[@korycolorado]

Yay!! I'm on my way to lakers too!!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

Good luck!

[@korycolorado]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors if I have a quarter of your luck today, it will be a good day! But any day on the water is a good day...

[@DB-FISHING]

Does it matter if you cook it with the skin on the fillet or is it best to slab them off? Nice 43" giant!

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

I find it better with the skin off.

Mystery lake.

When you said you seen another mark, I didn’t see a second mark. Were you using another fish finder?

[@ClaytonSchickOutdoors]

You can only see it just dart in for a second.... I had to look over it several times, and there is a SMALL chance that the mark I saw was my tube jig and that the big fish was the one with my bait too :)

Any tips to sort through the smalls i cannot catch anything bigger then 32 on gods lake

Upsize baits, I also find the bigger fish will separate from the smaller fish. As in if you are catching smaller ones the bigger ones might not be around.

[@Noah_P]

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors thanks for the advice! Could we get a lake trout fillet video to maybe in the future?

32 isnt too bad. Man I've caught 100s of Lakers here in NW Ontario and my PB lake trout is 24" lol, I am the king of cookie cutter trout 😂

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors oh shit tell me about it! Not just the disrespect to a fish that is 30 years old but to trophy fishermen who would catch, photo and release those fish. Not to mention old fish that size are teeming with heavy metals and toxins from bio accumulation.
