HOT DOG vs PIKE! Will They Eat? Ice Fishing Northern Pike

[@johnhelms8226]

For ice fishing with sausages, in murky water, my go-to is the so-called “red” hotdogs, which are actually bright pink. They almost glow. In more clear water, I prefer white bratwursts. If you need to downsize, Vienna Sausages or Li’l Smokies work well. If I am in New York, I like to hook a slice or a calzone to a Forage Minnow Jig on a deadstick. Just remember that the NY DNR has a two-topping limit for slice fishing.

Not funny, or worth the paragraph you wrote. Thanks for the glow glizzy tip.

[@johnhelms8226]

@ I bet you are an ass.

[@johnhelms8226]

@ Everyone hates you, I bet.

[@itsUncleMonK]

@@johnhelms8226 I’m genuinely so happy that you’re wrong right now and I get to laugh at you through a screen. Lmao rn

[@johnhelms8226]

@ they do hate you. You don’t realize it.

[@ronaldshank7589]

This was truly AGGRAVATING! Both for me, and for you, Bryan! I know you really tried very hard, though, so, yeah... I'll give you an A+ for effort. I've gotten skunked before, too, when I've been out fishin,' so I definitely know how it feels. Keep them thar' lines tight, Brother!

[@craigkelm7914]

This is turning into my annual must watch video!

[@BryanProkuski]

Nice! I love trying it least once a year. Always interesting to see what happens!

[@radfishguy6784]

The ice looks crazy when it gets that thick and clear

[@BryanProkuski]

Doesn't it! Nothing better then clear ice though.

[@davejann4814]

The kielbasa cam is back!

[@BryanProkuski]

Yup!

[@bingobongo143]

The best videos thanks man!

[@BryanProkuski]

You are welcome!

[@joesilverbliss1721]

Ryan did you try the kielbasa! Looking forward to that one. You ice cabin is awsome. Joe

[@randlerichardson5826]

Hey Bryan great to see another video

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks Randle.

[@chris_2714]

It's strange, here in Alberta its been unusually warm this winter. We barely have 14" of ice. Usually have way more by now. Glad your winter has made a lot of ice 👍

[@gage.c4581]

Where ya fishin in Alberta? Lac la biche has 20-21” and it’s a big lake

[@chris_2714]

@gage.c4581 central AB. Sylvan only has about 14". Four trucks have gone through this season so far. New record I think 😂

[@gage.c4581]

@ holy that’s so weird, there was probably 300 trucks on lac la biche 0 fell through haha. Wabamun area has abnormally thin ice too like it’s almost 20” by now usually but yeah around 14”

[@BryanProkuski]

Ya that is strange. Crazy how far north you are from me but yet we are gaining more ice. Weather last couple years have been odd. Glad this year ice is looking good finally.

[@adammead8197]

"looking spicy".... Hahaha love it

[@migsoutdoors]

Pike day

[@ronaldshank7589]

Now, if the stupid thing would just go on ahead, and chow down on that Hotdog, we might just have something here! Instead..... Nothing. That dumb Pike nosed almost right up to it... several times...and then just sat there. What'd that crazy thing think he was doing? Babysitting that Hotdog?!? That's what it looked like to me... Stupid Pike!!! Oh, well..... maybe next time...

[@JohnConnell-v5e]

Try "mini-dogs" for crappie, perch, even walleyes like the taste of all beef dogs, in small sizes

[@BryanProkuski]

Walleye would be cool to catch on a hotdog

[@JohnConnell-v5e]

@BryanProkuski try drifting a mini dog along the bottom......they big enough to stir the bottom as it drifts along......

[@donleygaming6509]

Just a heads up, if you're in Minnesota it is illegal to use a treble hook that's not apart of a lure. Not that many anglers care, but if you were to be stopped by DNR they may have a few words. Keep up the great vids!

[@FishingemIn]

Love the video Bryan, I'm still trying to get my first pike thought the ice, I see them a lot but most of the time they aren't interested, anyways Great try and love the videos

[@Honeypls]

Same brother, still grinding trying to catch one. It’ll happen God willing

[@mnphatt]

Haha......everytime I see one of these videos, I have to re-tell my story from an ice fishing trip to Devils Lake a few winters back. Pike will eat hot dogs, although I'd go with a half and not a whole. On the trip, I caught a nice 4 pound pike that I kept to eat. If you haven't tried a pike out of devils lake in the winter, you're missing out. The pike eat their share of freshwater shrimp and their flesh is slightly pink and really good. Anywho, when I was cleaning this nothern, I noticed a bump in the stomach. It turned out to be a hot dog WITH grill marks.... ;-0 ;-)

[@RoleyErickson]

Heck ya man way to get em

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks

[@grantjamrock3812]

I've caught more snot rockets on a hot dawg vs shiners! Usually half a dog tho

[@BryanProkuski]

Nice! Vs shinners too. That will save you some money!

[@reelinrichie]

Put some eyes on the hot dog😂

[@BryanProkuski]

lol... Not a bad idea!

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

Nice

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

@BryanProkuski no problem

[@randyengle7691]

It’s not mustard or relish. You need to hit the Asian section and top the dog with…..fish sauce 😂. I’ll show myself out. Great video!

[@ronaldshank7589]

Gotta admit... That was a good one!!!

[@Giddeon131]

I would suggest using half of the Hot-dog. The full one looked too, "out of place". Just a thought

[@BryanProkuski]

Ya half dog might have been the ticket

[@tylerbecker4147]

What's the exact model of underwater camera you use?

[@jpetersonafr]

Have you fished pelican near st michael again since they dropped the water levels?

[@Elberpydna]

Hotdog hotdog, hot diggity dog!!! Mickey mouse would be proud!!!!!

[@Riverside_Railfan417]

me and my friends like to catch large mouth with hot dogs and brats! 😂

[@BryanProkuski]

Havent caught a bass yet on one but had one looking once

[@jamesditsworth3845]

You should have used just a small piece of the hot dog - on two hooks maybe...

[@مطبخمنى-ر6ط]

تحياتي لحضرتك واشكرك على هذا الفيديو الرائع في صيد الاسماك اتمنى لك التوفيق والنجاح أنا صديقه جديده في انتظارك احلى لايك

[@belowfray5251]

Mash the barbs down some. Easier on the fish.😊

[@alanruechel2240]

Try tipping jig with a piece of hotdog

[@BigDaddyDuck]

I know that dog would catch me in no time

[@BryanProkuski]

lol right!

[@thevenin2]

That's funny, hope ya ended up catching something.

[@Macaroniman129]

I think the pike are rubbing up against the hook feeling it and going away

[@belowfray5251]

Maybe he prefers Ballpark?

[@barrybroderick5103]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@peatmoss4415]

Hobby Lobby has Wiggle Eyes to put on that hot dog, just sayin'.....

[@BryanProkuski]

lol.. Awesome! That would be funny to try and see that on the camera.

[@timothybabcock9716]

Should have used a half a hotdog!!

[@rhettgiesbrecht5584]

Clearly it’s time to give up on the hotdogs and try some dead fish. The way they’re nosing it like that is them tasting it. They obviously aren’t into it. A 5-6” dead mackerel or any oily fish like that would more likely get them to eat
