Ice Fishing a Small River in the MIDDLE OF NOWHERE!! (Catch and Cook)

[@rogeranderson6668]

Nice to see you fishing with your Pops I lost my Father back in 1974 from agent Orange. We fish and hunted together for the time I was four. The photos and memories are all I have left now that enjoy him while you got him life is short. Thanks for sharing much peace and love from northeast Texas.

[@RiverCertified]

I really enjoyed reading that sir. Makes a guy appreciate the opportunities I have a lot better. Thank you.

[@thewhiskertamer]

Glad you decided to make it into a video. Cherish every minute you have with your Pops. I'd love to be able to go fishing with my Dad again!

[@RiverCertified]

I'm glad I did too. If nothing else, just to have another memory etched out like this.

[@RiverCertified]

That's awesome. Really glad you enjoyed it!

[@curtclonts1529]

I had the same relationship with my Dad that you seem to. Really fun, pretty ornery, some trash talk, and I too called my Dad “old man”. Seeing you hang with your Dad makes me a happy guy and reminds me of times when my Dad was still around. Really doesn’t matter at all if the fish aren’t biting. You are making some really IMPORTANT memories that will carry you through your life. Take it from me-that’s incredibly valuable stuff. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t give to fish with my old man just one more time. Thanks for a great video.

[@dakotasellers1]

Some of the best memories I’ve had was fishing with my dad. Wish he was still here. But I’m glad to see you enjoying it.

Couldn't ask for a trip that was more fun man.

[@Paulcatchesemall]

Man there's nothing like spending time with your old man doing some fishing. My father had me fishing since before I can remember. His patience was second to none dealing with me and my two younger brothers out on the water. But when I think back to all the good memories growing up 70% are fishing with my Dad.

[@RiverCertified]

Gotta agree man. He sounds like one hell of a dude! Hope those memories are always tucked away for ya.

[@JP12853]

Good stuff man. Some of the best times on the river is when it's slow and you can really enjoy the good company. Anytime you can fish with your pop is a good day on the water!

[@RiverCertified]

That's a really awesome perspective on a slow day of fishing. Honestly never thought of it quite like that. Thanks man.

Catching a fish or catching none, nothing is better than spending time with your dad.

[@RiverCertified]

Amen to that

[@irkjustice5600]

This is awesome! Some of my favorite times fishing was with my dad. He can't go anymore. Breaks my heart sometimes. Do this together as many times as you possibly can. There will come a day when you can't anymore, and it's an awful feeling when you're out there, and you miss him. When that happens, you can look back and remember some of your favorite times when you were fishing together. That tends to take the "edge" off :o)

[@RiverCertified]

I appreciate you sharing all of that sir. I will actually be fishing with my dad this weekend. Stories like that make me feel more appreciative for the people I have in my life.

[@cawkeyedcatfishing]

[@roninwiscon7155]

This may be the most enjoyable ice fishing vid I've watched. Prime example of my fishing philosophy: Don't Judge how good a day of fishing was by how much you caught or how big they were, rather judge it by who you were with and how much fun you had.

[@RiverCertified]

I just try to capture the story. I'm glad you enjoyed the trip too!

[@jamesm.gilbert3543]

you forgot to mention that not only was it just fun but it was also fun being with your dad fishing in the winter time you know what I mean I don't know how your dad and you get along looked like you guys get along really. that is special. My dad died early in my life. I was 13, so savor these moments looks like he likes fishing too. man I envy you brother

[@thumpman]

I’ve always wanted to ice fish, but living outside Dallas it’s not an option. Hands down one of the coolest dudes on KZbin, he always got great videos

I highly recommend it, at least once in your life. It would be a 10 hour drive to southern Iowa, but they definitely get safe ice down there most winters. Make sure ya go with someone who knows what they're doing.

[@RiverCertified]

Sounds like your grandpa was my kinda guy. I feel fortunate to get to spend the time I do with my old man.

[@tlgoodwi1]

What a great way to spend time with your dad! That cooked catfish looked amazing. I have cooked fish that soon after catching them before but never in cold weather. There is always at least the slightest amount of spoilage of fish meat in warm weather, not so on the ice though. That should have been as fresh tasting as it gets. Thanks for taking us along!

[@RiverCertified]

Honestly the best catfish I've ever had. It just added to the great day and great memories!

[@danparke1]

Awesome stuff. I grew up fishing with my dad, and after several years of us having conflicting schedules, it looks like we'll get to have a lot more time to fish together this summer. Really looking forward to it!

[@darrelllykins8754]

So,I know this video is a year old or more. Never actually fished through the ice on a river. I do fish every winter for Catfish. 100% right, Catfish are much better out of cold water. I start freezing shad 2- 4 inches long about 20-40 in ziploc bags with no water. When ready to go fishing,throw a bag in warm water or just turn the heater on and put shad on the dash. They will unthaw on the trip to the lake (about 20 minutes). I rarely ever use cut baits in the winter. Just run the hook down from mouth to tail along the backbone and throw it out there. You might give it a try. Been watching your videos for quite some time, first time I've posted. Love your videos, please keep em coming!

[@markdishmon681]

Great video brother, spending time with your dad has to be the best.. Be thankful for him while you have him.. I wish I could go with my pops one more time. But I can't... You know what I mean right.

The Casey's water bottle caught my attention. When I was traveling around the USA I used to find any excuse to get a Casey's $5 pizza. They went from 300 stores to over 800 in the few years I was out there driving around.

[@RiverCertified]

The first 10 minutes of Casey's pizza is awesome. The next two hours suck. Maybe I eat too much haha. What were you traveling around for?

[@MissionaryInMexico]

@@RiverCertified I was doing government contracting... traveling in-country for most of it from 2000 to 2008. That's when I found Casey's pizza. And come to think of it, the pizzas were so big and sometimes undercooked that I seem to remember having stomach trouble for a few hours after eating one. I've pretty much switched to 7-11 pizza 🍕 which is also $5, and slightly smaller and fully cooked, next to a Casey's pizza. I retired to Mexico and my friend in Santiago Chile has invited me to Patagonia for river trout fishing. I'm going, but in two months when it starts cooling off there. Who knows I might decide to move to Chile... If the trout fishing is good. Would you believe me if I told you I caught trout in a lake above Pachuca, Hidalgo state, in Mexico about 4 hours south of my house, up in a cool alpine zone... I caught 11, actually, in one day, and the others with me averaged 5 fish each. My friend who is a "very high-up" in the federal police in Mexico City, she cleaned and cooked the fish for us. What a treat. Because, 6 months without trout can cause depression. Enjoying your vids, glad to see you spending time with your dad. Do it all you can because my dad was taken from us by gun violence, and he was a widower 7 years before it happened. Cherish those days and hours with the parents! God bless.

[@RiverCertified]

@@MissionaryInMexico that sounds like a legendary life you've had the opportunity to live sir. I've read good things about Chile. Honestly hoping to make a trip chasing cats in South America someday. Thanks for sharing all that. I really enjoyed it.

[@MissionaryInMexico]

@@RiverCertified I know someone kind of local to my place in San Antonio TX, who started a fishing channel in 2018 it something. I subbed when he only had 100 subscribers. Now he's over 160k subs, because his content is clean and family friendly and (to quote a Field and Stream columnist's words about me when I was a kid) that kid can catch a trout out of a mud puddle. Look up "Ty PigPatrol." Maybe you two can collab. Ty has taken his dad on fishing trips to the headwaters of the Amazon in Colombia, as well as fishing in Guyana. You would absolutely love his attitude and abilities...

I know the rivers and areas I trap I only try too walk over the places that are less than 3 feet deep and I’m pretty sure of it as I have been wading it with waders trapping all fall . And I also fish them . I remember where I’ve seen fish darting around and try and target those places if the ice is good . The eddies of that certain place we share also present great ice fishing . But it’s been a lot of years since we’ve had these conditions.

That electric auger is all sorts of neat. Be careful on that river ice. Many years ago now i went through and due to the current unfortunately came back up under the ice. Swept along under the ice for what seemed like an eternity until I hit a rocky shallow spot with thin enough ice I could force my way through. Left my auger and gear where they lay and made the long mile walk back to the truck in single digit temps. Been back on the ice a few times since but those memories of being under the ice just kinda took the enjoyment out of it.

You gotta come ice fish wisconsin this year. I have the spot for you to have some fun!

[@attitudeadjusted9027]

Great vid. River ice can vary in depth very suddenly so be cautious. Don't dismiss the shallow water especially for cats. We catch cats in three feet of water alot of the times on minnows. Learned that by accident years ago. We mainly fish the steep ledges and alot of times there on top instead of bottom. Say hello to your dad. Great to see you guys enjoying the time together. And the food. Keep your powder dry young man 💪😎

[@zachdowell1722]

Do u get to pick the adds that play during your video?

[@RiverCertified]

No sure. Most ads are based of off the things you have been looking up while signed into your google account or just on chrome.

Good video I am looking forward to you all ice fishing again we don't get to ice fish here it's not often the sea freezes up and then not enough to walk on just a shit load of slush on the beach really 😀

[@RiverCertified]

If you every had the chance to ice fish the ocean, that would be pretty crazy.

[@danielboone3390]

Best moments spent fishing are the ones with family

[@RiverCertified]

You got that right!
