This was a great adventure heck yeah! As always an amazing job on putting all the footage together… yeah we have to enjoy the smoke while we can

[@jimrosenberger8476]

Rande you gotta release the 22-26" pike in that lake. I enjoy your show, but please read up and follow obvious regulations. I tell my kids: "don't be a rebel without a cause." In this case, I'm guessing you just had no clue and did not know you were rebelling. Or maybe not? I'd also love to hear a response/excuse.

[@GoMidwestFishing]

Thank you for the heads ups. We rarely keep fish, so I missed that one. I always look at the regs posted at the landings, and it doesn't say it there, so I thought we were good. Not trying to be a Rebel.

Very nice and beautiful ❤️ 😍 🤩 👌 Thank you ❤️ Subscribed!

[@GoMidwestFishing]

I appreciate the sub.

Great lake, but you might want to brush up on fishing regulations. "North central The majority of the state is in the north-central zone, where the issue is overpopulation of small pike. The objectives are to allow more harvest of abundant small pike and shift population size structure to more medium-sized pike. The north-central regulation zone starts on a line stretching roughly from Hastings to just south of the Twin Cities and over to Ortonville; and in the north from Duluth along U.S. Highway 53 until it reaches International Falls. In the north-central zone, anglers can keep 10 northern pike, but not more than two pike longer than 26 inches; and all from 22 to 26 inches must be released. Northern pike taken by spearing follow the same rules except one pike may be between 22 and 26 inches or two larger than 26 inches."

[@GoMidwestFishing]

I sincerely apologize for that. It was not intentional. I've been fishing WI a lot and had those regs in my head. That's for the info.

[@jtn-minn8105]

So from the north boat landing we go west and a little south and troll spinners with minners or crawler harness for walleye, looks like you were pretty close were you caught the rocky, the white long two story house is one of our turning points, 12-16 feet water.

[@GoMidwestFishing]

Thanks for the great info. Its always good to hear from people that are familiar with the lake.

Hey Randy! Love all your videos! What kind of editing software do you use to make your videos?

[@GoMidwestFishing]

Hi. I've ben using Davinci Resolve for the last year. I switched from Adobe Premiere.

[@northernbassalliance1442]

Hows south lida for bass? Almost went there saturday but changed cuz it was 30 mph winds.

[@GoMidwestFishing]

South Lida was pretty good for bass. We caught more bluegills than anything there. We fished it the day before we did North Lida. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3uwYoV6gJyVjbssi=jz6PHX0mRqroOAky

[@HuntingFarmerOfficial]

That lake treated you well! Lots of variety and a couple nice ones to boot! Looked like fun 👍

[@FCPFishing]

Those were some giant Rock Bass! Looked pretty chilly out there.

[@cornfedlife]

Looks like y'all had a nice day on the lake despite a bit of rain.

[@robertdoyen5434]

Wow’s great video and thanks for sharing your experience on this lake. With the wind 💨 and rain 🌧️ you still got some great fishing 🎣 in. Thanks From Wisconsin

[@GoMidwestFishing]

The fish seem to enjoy the wind and rain, it just makes it more miserable for us. It was another successful day on the lake. Thanks for watching Robert.

[@JonGunnerOutdoors]

Looks like a fun lake to fish. Lots of structure and different spots to try.

[@fsupoutdoors]

I'd hate to be a snake in that lake! 😂

[@GoMidwestFishing]

Speaking of snakes, I just had a snake swim across the water and tried to get in my boat! Maybe I should have put him on my line.

[@fsupoutdoors]

@@GoMidwestFishing Wow that's freaky!

[@jeffhintz7733]

Otter tail county and near Detroit Lakes got my attention. I had a friend in Hawley, not far from this area. He talked of Big Cormorant Lake being really good too.

[@GoMidwestFishing]

So far all the lakes we fished there were awesome. (OK, we had a tough day on Ottertail lake) but what an amazing area. I need to go back and fish more lakes there. I have several more coming up from there, so stay tuned.

[@DpuckFishingandOutdoors]

You boys had a great day! Heck of a rock bass. No joke. Great largie at the end.

[@GoMidwestFishing]

It was a great trip. This whole area was good fishing. I will have to come back here, there are hundreds more to fish! Thanks Dpuck.

[@PandJsHomesteadAdventure]

Hi Rande! Really great editing! Another great video! We liked the snake lure! Jason said put that on our store list! Lol So excited for your Alaskan fishing trip video! Hope you have a great weekend!

[@GoMidwestFishing]

We don't pull out the snake lure that often, but its a lot of fun when we do.

[@WesLovelace]

When you're looking for variety for a fish fry you can't beat those results!!😎

[@GoMidwestFishing]

It was a delicious fish fry. Great way to end the day. Thanks Wes.

[@FishingWithBIGD]

Dang ! what a rock bass that was lol... some pigs in that lake, I've never caught pike they're not in many lakes around myself but look like fun , enjoy your weekend man ...

[@GoMidwestFishing]

Thanks Big D. People don't normally target rock bass, but I think they are a lot of fun to catch.

[@FishingWithBIGD]

@@GoMidwestFishing they sure are , I target them in the river with ultralight gear it's super fun

[@JohnAmes]

Looks like you had a lot of fun

[@Co_5590]

The music sounds like star trek TNG intro lol, nice lake

[@GoMidwestFishing]

I'll admit, I haven't seen much Star Trek. Now my curiosity is making me look it up!
