Early Ice BASS & PIKE on Tip ups! Crazy Action! 2021

[@ikesquirrel]

Beaver dams are awesome. I painted all of mine black and made black flags with custom logo's for each of the family members so we can easily see the tip ups and flags and we can see the flags a mile away. The black also keeps them warm in the sun.

Great video. So much fun watching the fish on camera. You really learn so much when you can see exactly how fish are responding to your presentation.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Exactly its amazing to see what they are doing!

With a burger bun in your hand. I'm impressed 👏

The fish had to be caught lol!

Glad you like them!

Thank You! Great Episode!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ancientfishing]

man, wish we had good ice in Southern Wisconsin already. Gonna be a while before we get that.

[@AH-mw8vi]

Cool video! Ditch the BDs for polars set light with smaller trebles and you would catch three times as many fish, including the perch and crappies if they bite. Also, ditch the gilliteen. A small bobber waited with the smallest sinker and a tiny treble will out fish all those rigs on a day like that. Shouldn’t be giving all this away but if you like catching more fish take note… Otherwise, continue to have fun and keeping making cool vids!

[@somekidinwisconsin8856]

Wow good to see you on the ice. Been 60 degrees in southern Wisconsin the past couple days, will not be on ice anytime soon.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Yeah hopefully winter gets here haha

[@drdavewi]

Great video! I had lots of laughs. I could hear you holding your breath as the fish approached the bait. And then the "AAAHhhh" when they spit it out!!! I've done the same watching my camera. I laughed at your spatula, AJ wiping his mouth on his sleeve, and you getting the flag with the bun in your hand! Thanks for sharing!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Thanks Dave it was a fun time out on the ice! I like to show the real side of it!

[@wisconsinangling3054]

The shovel to flip the burgers 😂 awesome video from one Kyle to another. I always love the teaching and the underwater footage.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

We need something to flip them lol! Can’t wait to colab with you!

[@wisconsinangling3054]

@@Wisconsin_Fisherman I’d definitely be interested in that! That’d be sweet!

The hot meal just makes the trip all worth it

Good fishing off that point where that cabin is.

You bet it is I was out there yesterday it was a little slow but they were there

Awesome day on the ice. Thats so cool watching live strikes.

Glad you enjoyed it!

The first tip up bass was my favorite i plan on waiting for more ice haven’t checked ice in a few days but it was 5” solid when I was out again. Nice fish looks like a lot of fun

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Good luck be safe!

Whoot whoot been waiting for your video! Keep it coming sir, tight lines.

Thanks for joining!

[@mitchkayla9195]

Ice scoop flips food well lol. I’ve been there

[@1prepared943]

What type of hooks

[@SlimeDonkeyTV]

Man that was hilarious when the AV cut off while ya'll were looking so intensely at it! I mean it's not funny, but it is. The under water videos are the best! I can't wait to get back out to Iowa/Wi soon!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Dude yeah it was intense lol like it just spit it out like the rest but the chance was there! haha

[@PhotonChief]

I wonder if the bass were just feeling the resistance of the minnows being on the line. Like the minnow didn't just slurp in because it was tied off even with as light of pressure as it takes to spin the tip up.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Yeah I hear what your saying I’ve thought using lighter line but then the minnow can swim away faster thi

[@1prepared943]

What type of hooks do you use for the bass and pike what size

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Usually a #10-8

[@Epheshians6.10-19]

You got some nice ice where you're at. IDK about our ice on the Winnebago / Fox River lake system yet. We seen a couple holes and a few shacks on Little Lake Butte des Morts, but we just had rain / snow mix and above freeze highs with close to 60 come Wed / Thurs. It may be a couple weeks before we can get out, we're hoping at least by Christmas.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Yeah I'd give it just a little bit yet.

[@Epheshians6.10-19]

@@Wisconsin_Fisherman We were watching a couple of your other vids and in one you mentioned where you were (I won't put it out there) Maybe we'll see you out there next summer, we're planning a camping / fishing week somewhere northwest of us with our fishing yaks. We're leaning towards the Flowage, don't know. Here's our channel we just put together to start posting vids. I only have a slide show up now from the last 6 or 7 years worth of pics of kayaking and fishing. Keep them vids coming, you get some nice clean fish. kzbin.info/door/kO6FYpE1RAeygIymd41L7w

[@brandonmcsorley9579]

Typically, I have more luck with a small-medium fathead for BASS rather than smaller shiner or a sucker.....Smaller bait, not smaller hook. However, I am NOT a professional by any means 😉Great video as always, you got all the tools for a sweet setup. Using a Snow Shovel to flip burgers..... you sir, are a legend. Tight Lines!!!!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Thanks for watching Brandon!

[@fishstick_gamer]

Always love the vids

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Thank you!

[@ppplll1122]

Use a 3/0 circle hook tied with a snell knot. I'm tellin' ya. Fire.

[@kenwoolner8606]

What lake are you at? I'm in the chippewa valley. You gotta be north of me.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Pretty much do this in any lake in Washburn county

[@fishlovme]

Leave the skin on the bass. Season with a little salt, pepper, and garlic powder after marinating it in Italian Dressing. Grill it for about 10 minutes, leaving the skin on. When done it should just come right off the skin. Definitely my favorite way to eat bass, both smallmouth and largemouth!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Nice! that sounds amazing actually!

[@-chrispav-9671]

What county are you in? Here in IL just trying to find some early ice and trying to take a trip soon!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Washburn

[@kirkarneson4087]

You might want to try blackening recipe for the bass. I've done it with bass caught in the summer on the Upper Mississippi and it's very good.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Thanks for the tip Kirk!

[@colinemler2356]

Must be nice up north. Feels like fucking September rn in southern wi

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Yeah it's taking a while this year..

[@traviswalker8308]

Love the video, how far do you put your sinker above the hook? I keep mine about 6” so the minnow can’t run.. what’s your thoughts?

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

It all depends on the fish and how they are acting I thought about putting jigs on them to try something way different

[@KermitTheGamer21]

To the haters: As long as it's legal to do so, keeping some bass under 14" is actually important when the bass become overcrowded. It allows some fish to grow larger into trophy fish. And come on. Keeping four or five bass isn't going to hurt the population in the lake, there's probably thousands of bass in there!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

PREACH IT MAN!!

[@CTRFishing]

That one handed Pike catch & release with the bun in your other hand was super IMPRESSIVE! Haha Great video as always man!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Right it was funny I was reeling with my teeth!

[@teenagepatriot7061]

how thick is the ice. I’m also new to the channel James Gatewood told me about you

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

The ice was about 5” or so. Welcome aboard!!

[@teenagepatriot7061]

where you fishing?

[@terrymartin7002]

Nice muti species of fish for sure

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Thanks Terry!

[@fishlovme]

Darnit I was going to comment that the hook is too big then you say it yourself! Yes, it was obvious to me that the bass was tasting the minnow but also could taste and/or smell the hook and didn't want it. Smaller hooks catch bigger fish too, so I go with as small as I can get away with. Number 14 or 16 treble is what I use for crappie. It's so small it easily gets out of larger fish too.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Right on lol, I use them smaller ones for crappies and love them!

[@Epheshians6.10-19]

I almost forgot, HOOKS TOO BIG, lol. ;-P

Yes very large population in this lake

[@mitchkayla9195]

What with people questioning keeping bass. They eat good. I think it like horse. Lots of people around the world east horse but we keep them as pets. With bass masters everyone just wants a trophy

[@gman77gas]

Eater bass and you live in Wisconsin ????

[@aydensaunders3371]

Bass are still nasty, so mushy every time I tried it

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Yeah winter seems better as the meat is firmer and cold

[@shane6232]

U see how the fish almost stops when the minnow starts to take off, it's cold fish are lazy they don't want to chase. If you take your weight down to 4 to 5 inches above the minnow this will trigger a lot more fish and keep your bait in the feeding zones all the time.

[@shane6232]

And yes downsize your hook! Just as you questioned yourself I'm adding this comment. I use a size 10 or 12 for everything and I've got a lot more hookups.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Right on! Thanks Shane!

[@tonystraw7901]

why do people eat bass, turned off as soon as that first largemouth hit the ice

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

This lake is overpopulated with them

[@drdavewi]

I live up near Kyle, and he is right. Many of our lakes have lots of them. And I think that the little ones (11-14 inches) eat great. To me they taste the same as a bluegill, at least in northwestern Wisconsin. Once they get to 16-inches, I rarely eat one.
