Ice Fishing Bass and Pike with Aqua Vu AV822HD

[@CBeckham]

Your underwater camera videos are my absolute favorite to watch.

[@BryanProkuski]

Awesome! Glad you enjoy them.

[@CBeckham]

@@BryanProkuski can’t wait for more

[@19jake23]

I know your equipment is very expensive and you put in a lot of effort working to make these great videos. I salute and thank you for everything you do so you can share your experiences with us while ice fishing. Be safe out on the ice because we want you around for a long, long time!!!

[@classicstangs]

Honestly you must all give credit to this pike its going to live a long life with that intelligence and carefulness that he showed on camera. He must of been enjoying just playing around he must have.

[@jamesswanson4391]

That pike watching the rattlebait - "Very entertaining, thank you for the show" 😂

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks James! That pike gave us a show for sure!

[@ShayBabyLove]

Wow! Loved this one. He looked like he was just having some fun and playing around with that minnow!

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks! Maybe too much fun, Just eat it!

[@steveklotz973]

Advertising is all you got. I bought an AquaVu unit last year. Not cheap. Works great until it is put in the water.......good for you

[@BryanProkuski]

I don't work for them but I do like their cameras and no not cheap either. Bummer yours crapped out. I would call them for an exchange, they have good customer service.

[@davidsnider1703]

Love watching underwater camera. Pike looked like sore mouth. Prob not hungry. Thanks for sharing with us

[@BryanProkuski]

Right! Think he was just having some fun with it.

[@nickkloha1346]

So glad to see you out making videos again!

[@BryanProkuski]

Hey Nick! Feels good to be back out making them. Ice season is in full season now, enjoy! Hope you get into some good fishing this winter. Take care.

[@Callmeryan_2.0]

I like how the fishes just goes zoming up after being hooked

[@kevinjtoner]

Awesome footage! That crazy pike had me on the edge of my seat 😳. Glad you got a couple of nice bass……. Thank you Bryan!!! 👍🎣

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks Kevin! He had my on my edge too. When you going bite! The bass were nice bonuses for the day.

[@jeffreyevens2033]

Couple of nice bass that was cool. Watching a pike stand still is so neat. You can see each fin move ever so slightly. Thanks Brian, great video!

[@stinkyfish6175]

That's some great footage as usual. I don't think most people realize how analytical pike can be, can't help but wonder if a single hook would've got him. Like you said he felt that treble each time he went for it, bait was biting back haha. Great vid.

[@BryanProkuski]

They are so analytical, especially in the winter time. Single hook may have done it but he was skeptical from the start. Cool to see his behavior.

[@frostyclipz2479]

Atta boy Brian love to see it

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks! Love to be out fishing!

[@mikek2488]

Awesome man. Was excited to see the difference with the new camera. Like someone else said seems to be more green than normal.

[@Casting_WM]

Let’s go!! New video!!!

[@BryanProkuski]

Lets go!

[@BindeeVangFishing]

Good job bro. I was out today same spot and nothing. Maybe it was the overcast!

[@mbona1878]

i think i saw you over there. i was on the north side in the otter

[@BindeeVangFishing]

@@mbona1878 yep that was me, i was only there for like 2 hrs then had to go, any luck?

[@mbona1878]

@@BindeeVangFishing not much tbh. Some crappies at the end which was cool but slow other than that

[@BindeeVangFishing]

@@mbona1878 yea pretty dead when i checked with my camera and livescope

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks man! Bummer, thats fishing, One day its on, next day nothing. That lake can be hit or miss. I find sunny days best for them to be moving around.

[@blackops44711]

Great videos. I just subscribed today. I was researching the Aqua vu 822 and your channel popped up. After watching your unboxing video I placed the order 😁. Thanks and keep up the great content.

[@BryanProkuski]

Awesome, Thanks Frank! Welcome to the channel. Enjoy the Aqua Vu when it comes. They are a lot of fun!

[@anthonylj9709]

commentary on the pike was legendary L0L!

[@stedyone1090]

Well done

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks

[@jeffkildow9917]

Another great video! Your setup is great. Go Bears!!

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks Jeff! Go Bears!

[@lace.and.camo.youtube]

Omg I'm so glad I discovered your channel!! Underwater videos of fishing are the best, great work on the filming !!

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks Lace, Glad you enjoy the videos! I love filming underwater. Cool to see how the fish react and strike.

[@ndmx1000]

How does the new AV822HD compare to the HD7 or HD10? I have the HD7 and may be looking to down size.

[@BryanProkuski]

I would say my HD7 has a better picture quality as in shows more definition and color but not sure they are trying to compare with those units. It does however still produce a great picture and the unit itself I love more. Not big and bulky, Awesome 8" screen, Battery life goes all day and I can record.

[@mikefinnegan7469]

Love the video thanks for posting. I am looking to get a camera and am agonizing over which one to get. I was set on getting the Marcum Pursuit HDL because I wanted the best camera quality. It will likely be used mostly in my wheel house hooked up to the tv but I liked the idea of the portability for scouting. Then I saw the Aquaview AV822HD and like the Idea of the bigger screen in case I didn't always want it hooked up to the TV. If you have any recommendation or insight between the Marcum and this one could you share your thoughts? Thank you

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks Mike! It's a tough choice. Both are really great cameras and have awesome quality. I would say maybe the Marcum has little better quality as it might show little more color but I love the Aqua Vu for its bigger screen and camera reel. I have been getting this question a lot lately, so today when I was out fishing I did a side by side comparison so you guys can get an idea of which camera you like better.

[@mikefinnegan7469]

@@BryanProkuski Thanks for the reply. I ended up going with the Marcum because with the camera and the panner it was over $200 less. Glad to hear you like them both though.

[@BryanProkuski]

@@mikefinnegan7469 Nice! Love that cam. Packs a great picture for a small unit. Have fun and learn a lot!

[@erndog0110]

Great footage!! But could you clarify which Aqua Vu you're actually using here pls? Your title says one thing but the link goes to a much more expensive one Thanks

[@BryanProkuski]

I am using the Aqua Vu AV822HD like the title says. This was my fist time using it and I didn't have a link yet. The one you clicked on was for my HD7i Pro camera. I updated the description now with this camera link. Thanks man!

[@GordonCreech]

Why is the drag so loose,I'm just curious 🤔

[@stevenblackwell3899]

Do you keep them to eat.

[@BryanProkuski]

No just catch and release.

[@Wott786]

@@BryanProkuskiI would switch to treble barbless.

[@Elberpydna]

That was "the little Pike that could, not." We never saw things like that watching In-fishermen ice tech lol!!!

[@BryanProkuski]

lol.. That is awesome! I probably still have few In-fisherman on VHS somewhere.

[@TTangOutdoors]

Fun to watch!! How would u compare the video quality to HD7I? Just from comparing this video to your previous videos it seems the new camera shows more green? And not as HD as the HD7i?

[@BryanProkuski]

First time using it so still early but yes this shot appeared more green then the 7i. I will need to use it few more times to get an idea where it stands. I also plan on doing a comparison video of the 2 units so we can see the difference.

[@enian82]

How long did it take you to get this many fish?

[@BryanProkuski]

Probably was out about 4 hours that day.

[@martinwalter8402]

Could you recommend underwater camera for fishing at 45-50 ft depth?

[@patrickstoyreviewspatricke8083]

Nice catches

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks

[@philipcallicoat3147]

As a kid I was thrilled to have a cane pole with a can of garden worms and a hook with a bobber... And,of course,a little pond full of panfish and the occasional bass... Sigh 😔. Things were simpler then.....

[@MECH-MASTER]

Pike: Not my first rodeo..😂 👍

[@NDWalleyeTrollR]

Hey Bryan do you still use the helix 5? I wanna buy a unit with gps contour mapping to find new spots would the helix be good for that?

[@BryanProkuski]

The Helix would be a great unit for that. I love mine. Nice to have the GPS for sure. I haven't used it in a while as I've been using the camera most times to film these videos but if I head to Mille lacs for walleyes soon ill be using it.

[@djomegaminus]

Paused my Salty Cracker livestream in order to watch this!! Love your underwater vids!! Told my girlfriend that you're to blame I went out and bought an HD7i pro. ;)

[@BryanProkuski]

lol.... Thats awesome! Hopefully she has forgiven me by now. The HD7i Pro is a beast! Love that camera.

[@sonnenburgoutdoors]

Excellent vid!! How’s the video quality of 822 vs Evolution 5 pro??? Battery life ??? Thanks

[@BryanProkuski]

Thanks! The Revolution is not HD so the Picture should be better on this unit. Was only my first time out so need to use it few more times to get an idea where it stands. I plan on doing a comparsion video to of the different units.

[@sonnenburgoutdoors]

@@BryanProkuski I have the pro and like it the hd and bigger screen should make this a winner!! Thanks 👍👍🐟

[@trentwilder5354]

Does the camera take a memory card for the dvr function or is it internal memory?

[@BryanProkuski]

No built in DVR which I'm not a big fan of. Wish they had an external SD.

[@alternativereefoutdoors6319]

@@BryanProkuskiHow do you get the video off the internal dvr? Thanks if you do reply. I love mine, recorded a bunck of crappy strikes but can not figure out how to get them off the camera.

[@djomegaminus]

Does the AV822HD have HDMI output? I love rocking a big screen TV in my hub. Makes it feel like an ice fishing video game.

[@djomegaminus]

Also, nice hogs!!! Inspires me to hit up a little lake no one hits up that had 23 inch bass on the shore that got winter killed 2 years ago.

[@BryanProkuski]

Yes it does have HDMI. Would be a blast to watch it on the big screen!

[@BryanProkuski]

@@djomegaminus 23" bass is a HOG! Some of those winter kill lakes produces some big fish.

[@lorenzo-greasy-bottom7929]

When the pike are being low energy/less aggressive, try downsizing your lure and moving a little bit slower. That'll trigger a bite a lot faster than flailing it all crazy right in front of him.

[@gennarodeluca5521]

Agreed, I think a little more patience and letting the lure sit more still when it was in front of him would have triggered a strike. It’s like the pike was just calculating his strike and then you moved so quickly that the pilke had to recalibrate again. If it was still, he would have calculated his strike and then attempted a hit.

Went out today and couldent get the pick bite but at least somebody could! Cough cough u

lol... It's hit or miss on pike bites. Middle of day and sunny skies seem to be my best days from them roaming.

[@radfishguy6784]

It's amazing to see how that pike can swim backwards with zero effort.

[@BryanProkuski]

Right! Crazy watching their behavior. Moving with no effort.

[@stinkyfish6175]

Yeah, and when they want something, they strike so fast.

[@Casting_WM]

Another amazing video Brian! Making me jealous with all that ice! We haven’t even gotten our first layers of ice in west Michigan yet 😭

I feel the same way smh still waiting for that cold 🥶🥶🥶🥶🤣🤣🤣😪😪😪😪😂😂😂😂

Grab the fish bobby

[@savannahostenson9304]

u guys only get 2 lines in minnisota in wisonson we get 3

[@easygarden777]

Nice vid ... Formally VinNZ... You getting the ice means we're finally getting summer in New Zealand 👍... That Pike knew what a trebble hook is by feel and sight I reckon..... Oh and as we don't have Bass ( except for the one with 4 strings that I play 🤣 ) in New Zealand I wasn't sure if those were large mouth or small mouth ? Still nice fish

[@accurateoutdooradventures]

Why not just use a deadstick instead of a tip up? Less tangles

[@BryanProkuski]

That and when fishing thick weeds then can get all wrapped up and off. But I just bought a XH rod this week and going be using the dead stick now so we can rip through the weeds if need. Should be fun.

[@daniels4227]

How can a fish think that jigging lure looks even remotely real? I get skunked, running a crankbait in optimum conditions in the fall 😮‍💨

[@BryanProkuski]

lol... I love crank baits, especially for walleye. Man when it comes to shallow water ice fishing, jigging lures is where its at!

[@cliffpetty3476]

Pretty sure that pike was a vegan! Enjoy your work, hope to get ice soon here in northern Indiana.

[@BryanProkuski]

lol haha. Thanks Cliff! Maybe a carrot would of done the trick! Cold weather coming soon, Hope you get ice! Goodluck!

[@shyguy8240]

I would a switch and drop a rattle spoon. It'll hit it right up

[@DanKoning777]

Here's something you may want to consider re: coaxing a fish that's unwilling to commit: use an attractant-especially one with glitter. Here's something you may want to consider re: your first time viewers, subscribing, and *not* using phrases like those at 5:09 / 7:57-why? While most could care less, some [like me], will bail if they think that casual cussing and "oh my God" will be the norm. I'm sure this seems lame / funny to most, I get it-but I also get what they don't i.e. the fact that they don't care b/c they're blind. Sadly, it's only when people are face/face with Jesus Christ that they'll realize the truth/cure was found in the Bible. Interested?
