Ice Fishing Brook Trout - Under Water View!

Stumbled upon some of the coolest ice fishing I have experienced in the brook trout state, aka Pennsylvania. These fish were holding in a small area of shallow water in Lake X, I had actually spent a couple hours punching a dozen or 2 holes in different areas of this lake before finding the fish, once I found them I realized that the original video I was trying to make which was pretty revealing wasn't going to fly, so I scrapped that and just made this video of underwater views of Brook Trout reacting to different jigs and baits. What started as super slow dismal ice fishing turned to some awesome sight fishing and I had to come back as soon as I could for another session.

I can't even describe how much joy this brings me to see these gorgeous trout in such an unvarnished and intimate setting, so natural. And the colors are just breathtaking!!! You are one lucky MFer t have been able to have such an experience. Made my day, vicariously that is. Thanks so much for posting, dude!!!

[@UncleLarryOutdoors]

Magical place...and some of the strait up dopest footage I've seen in a while.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man.

[@nobleshadow1468]

@CAPTAIN COURAGEOUS lmao why are you so mad about what he says and does

[@jraible0117]

This might be the best commentary in a fishing video I've heard in a bit.

[@paultopnotchfishing7506]

hands down, best underwater fishing video!!! sickbstuff here man...

[@blaziconsins6402]

topnotch fishing I would be scared to drop the camera

[@brianquan7218]

This lake definitely has stocked fish. You can see their worn out fins from the hatchery. Love the underwater footage bro!

[@rupertmedford3901]

Concrete raceways are hard on fins!!

[@sticksnstones4357]

Yeah but they eat everything when they are stocked in a tiny pond!! This dude is a fucking joke. If he would have just said it's a stocked pond then nobody would care but he act like he stumbled up on this place and its a "honey hole" he can't tell anyone about. Because it's "small" LOL yeah because it's a fucking stocked pond on someone's property!

[@brycewhite3971]

Sticks n stones u prob can’t catch a fish anyways lol

[@nicolaslebrun9455]

@@sticksnstones4357 he said they were stocked at the end

[@sk88rat]

Excellent footage. I never realized how beautiful brookies were, I always thought rainbows were more colorful. Between this vid and the underwater striper blitz footage, you've provided some of the best fishing videos I've seen in good while.

[@toddh6102]

Obvious you have to be stoked with all the positive reviews of this video. Definitely the best video of brook trout I've seen, ice fishing or other. Beautiful fish captured perfectly on video. Tight lines.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man!!

[@deschutesmaple4520]

Wow! World's best ice fishing video hands down. Never saw it this good, ever.

[@JM-fc9gm]

the commentary on this is A+. i laughed the entire time.

[@bobm2811]

thats insane those are giant brook trout for around here and the amount of them is crazy and through the ice craziest thing ive seen and that pickerel was huge like probably state record

[@FishHawk]

Some of the coolest footage I've seen. Very nice job! Tight lines!

[@Paul-lb1cq]

Definitely one of the best ice fishing videos I've seen.

[@FVT-tn8ji]

I watched this for the 5th time now and I really enjoy watching it every time :D

[@idkwhattomakemyname101]

I love how you're roasting the trout during the video 😂

[@justintaylor883]

He's got anger

[@michaelsimko7694]

Footage of fish hitting the lure or bait while ice fishing is so awesome. And with the way those brookies were being, oh boy is this video a hit!

[@mikaelrantaoutdoors]

One of the best ice fishing and underwater videos I've ever seen. Awesome commentary by the way.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks a lot glad it was enjoyable

[@extremephillyfishing]

Last time I was this early, Sea-Money Fishing invited me to fish. Nice Trout, by the way! Killing it!

[@gulp_man1026]

So hyped for the Fl vids Leo!

[@lukasznowakowski9950]

Extreme Philly Fishing come on Florida videos!!!!

[@trebien98]

Live in the phoenixville area, would love some new buddies to fish with.

[@scottrudesill4339]

I was mesmerized. You know i hate you kidding. Thanks for the video!

[@zamora3D]

easily one of the best underwater fishing footage

[@scottpitts3966]

Cool perspective! Id say this and the striper blitz are some the coolest underwater footage I seen.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man!

[@yaboycody4633]

one of the best fishing vids ive seen in a while

[@HaNguyen-pn1vu]

This is one of the best fishing video i had seen. do more video please.

[@bassyaker7256]

I love your vids. I am a PA native to, I'm down in South Central PA and have been wanting to do some ice fishing for trout, like etc. I have to say this is some of the most awesome and informative footage I have ever seen. Keep it up.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man glad to hear!

[@salmonninja7223]

We don't have brookies over here in the UK, but I reckon they have to be the prettiest of the whole Trout family. Amazing colours and markings. A long time ago in our local river our club stocked some and they were great fish. UK rivers now are very strict on what is allowed to be stocked to protect the wild brown trout.

[@pollyfree]

This is a really good video man, one of my faves from this winter on youtube period...

[@opveziok3386]

Dude sweet vid my mom doesn't let me fish during the winter but your vids give me that fishing high I need

[@spacecowboy3806]

the best trout fishing video on KZbin entirely very pretty footage

[@senormofeta6726]

Dude this is CRAZY! I'm jealous as hell. Thanks for your amazing vid

[@nickvargasfishinfool9612]

Great video! You can only pray for a day like this on the ice. In central New York we've had warm weather and rain this week, so no safe ice that I know of.

[@scott2686]

That pickerels huge! Probably because it gets unlimited trout to eat though.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

I do think he might have been up there looking for an easy meal in the form of weak stocked trout

[@filiptheis7888]

Sea-Money Fishing god vidio

[@ryansheppard5048]

That was a pike, my dude.

[@bradbroussard9035]

Lol the commentary is awesome on this video!!! Cool shots.

[@PoconoOutdoorsGuy]

We fished a place very similar... Brookies are fun for early ice season targets!

[@fishingmidatlantic6610]

What’s the name of the name lace you fished?

[@wildlife3083]

What a great video. Thanks for the beautiful footage and the laughs.

[@samgerland6087]

Love fishing on arctic char species, especially sight fishing. Had some of my greatest fishing moments on ice-sightfishing for arctic char! Eventhough in my personal experience the brookies are much less frightened and much more willing to eat compared to the original arctic char! Nice video again mate

[@danielhettich9350]

This is one of my favourite ice fishing video!!!

[@Andysfishing]

Nice one, I like the underwater footage.

[@scapekiwi]

Ayy did not think you would be here

[@HigherElevations]

Awesome footage! It's nice to hear you talk about what's going on in the video, recapping your experience

[@Bloodfang152]

by far sickest trout ice fishing video ever

[@pwrplnt1975]

WoW! You don't see that very often..Well I don't anyways! Great find! This is definitely the best Trout Ice Fishing Video out there! Those are beautiful fish! I live in Maine and I've never seen Brookies eat like that! AWESOME!!

[@Handberrydea]

Amazing footage! You were jigging up Brookies like they were perch. Well done bro!

[@joshdewitt8796]

Idk if that’s a chain pickerel. The patterning looks like a northern pike, which would explain the size too.

[@skylersadventures1106]

Josh Dewitt that’s a northern pike lol

[@ryansheppard5048]

It’s a pike for sure.

[@westonchavez1439]

Nice early season thin ice, most people won't touch it but its usually the best fishing of the year

[@benmasta5814]

This was an awesomely narrated video dude.

[@fishingsouthjersey5768]

those fish are beautiful, they have so much color, nice video.

[@shawnkiesel5349]

Trout are a beautiful fish... So cool hopefully I'll go ice fishing One day...

[@MyBallsUrJaws]

what is this a frickin brook trout farm lol. that's awesome!

[@HeySkipper]

those are some fantastic shots! we just went ice fishing our first time in New York... no trout, but we caught some sweet underwater footage of pike eating our live line perch! thumbs up!

[@josheverett1239]

This is the best ice fishing video out there man, this is wicked keep it up!!

[@fordpowerstroke2849]

Some nice brookies awesome like always your videos will never be old

[@zachbland4239]

[@matthewtE]

This is the kind of stuff I like to see. Thanks.

[@riverfishing2051]

Great episode. That is National Geographic footage. Amazing how they behave.

[@jcorbett1168]

That's so awesome. Place is loaded with trout. Nice clean water too

[@jimlahey2290]

Love how you added the narration instead of having all the noise and not understanding what your saying real nice professional video, never have I seen a brookie hole like this. Love the angry trout part lol Good for you man

[@fishman5604]

Great video, and love the fact that you released them to enjoy another day. Cheers

[@thefamilygamerscrewlisabre136]

Great video was really interesting to see how the trout were reacting to the bait

[@christophermills1733]

That was a seriously wicked video, so awesome to see them up close and personal. Cheers.

[@HotDogBunN2YG]

love northern pa. i have a cabin in potter. theres so many of the mountain spring ponds all over of the place full of nice trout. id come across them a lot when id go way back woods beaver trapping. i came across this moutain spring that was had the biggest beaver dam i ever saw in pa, the shit looked like those massive dams down south. wading through there were muliple brooks taking off. the way all those streams and creeks intertwine up there id imagine you could find some monsters out it those backwoods ponds.

[@fishingmidatlantic6610]

Where is a good pond to catch brook trout through the ice?

[@FarrellX]

dont know how i missed this one. this is some awesome footage

[@NFLDShoctopus]

So jealous! The season has yet to open where I live (Newfoundland). Loads of ice on the ponds tho. February first can't come soon enough, thanks for the content keeping me content until then!

[@jif.6821]

WOW, very nice sized Brookies! I thought you had to go to Canada to find Brook Trout that size. Awesome that you keep these places secret, protect the fishery from over fishing. Great video, mahalo from Hawai'i.

[@codysummerland]

Beauty footage of my favourite fish. Love the commentary too haha

[@seijoscha]

This is an amazing Video.

[@MasterInvesting]

Kinda like your underwater weakfish video, love the footage always cool to see

[@joshcerkowski3439]

one of the most beautiful fish in freshwater by far!

[@ThatsitWeregoinfishin]

Those fish look so cool!

[@jumpninthedarkalley]

I love fishing white ice. Looks like you guys are nice and shallow. But be safe :D! Nice fish too

[@darrenvough6914]

sweet footage man! really enjoyed this video!

[@joshandthejam7806]

Dream hole right there! I am fishing for my first brookie currently. The lake I am aiming at has the highest amount of 3 inch perch i've ever seen so it's been difficult. I saw one on camera finally but couldn't hook it before all the perch came running back in. I'm going to be more patient with my hookset after watching this footage. Great job.

[@peteraikens8151]

this is unbelievable love the videos man!!!

[@k0olmini11]

these are some sick camera shots, thanks for sharing this with us

[@MrMcQueen_01]

This is soo cool I hope you come back here in the spring for some blue gill/ crappie fishing (if there's any in there)

[@burnwash8174]

Excellent job all around - super camera work, nice fish handling!

[@milehighanglerstv.7759]

That water i so clear ! I mean we got pretty clear water here in Colorado, but dang !!!! Great for the aqua vu!

[@seabears_hate_circles]

Man those are some beautiful brookies.

[@stillwateroutdoors59]

That's insane man! Absolutely unreal brookie action

[@alainbeausejour3159]

My son and I experienced the same kind of Brook trout fishing in northern NH in December... Not sure the final count, but over 20... Hatchery fish... 10 to 15 inches... but they would swim right up into the hole... not much for a fight... Still awesome to see 3 or 4 Brookies fighting for your worm in your hole... thanks for the video...

[@nategaris3457]

Awesome video. Totally enjoyed watching it.

[@swimbait1]

They look like hatchery fish, rounded off fins. Great video

[@FLawLesSTaStE]

Are you from Sweden? Btw I wanna fish trouts and the red ones in Sweden we call it röding. What baits would you reccomnd? If you are from Swe what stores are good to buy from then? :)

[@axlholmes]

Nice video! I have always wanted to do more ice fishing

[@dendemano]

Every time I feel a knock on my rig I automatically think I have missed a bite, but so many times they have simply bumped into it. Fascinating viewing. The information you have provided is going to be a great help for me. Is the still water deterring them from taking the bait. I imagine that it’s hard to replicate natural prey in these conditions. I only have the option to fish on fairly fast flowing rivers. Obviously, there are spots where water converges, but I seldom have much success. I tend to catch more fish in the faster water of about 2-4 ft deep that is running over boulders. I have only been angling for trout and grayling the last year, or so. I use the bubble and fly method and have had moderate success. I would like to learn how to fly fish, but I have limited knowledge. Thank you, sir.

[@rodlife7802]

Awesome video! I've never seen anything like this! Very entertaining and definitely some beautiful fish.

[@sirmegallot3276]

really cool video! Crystal clear, stable footage,! I absolutely love trout, especially brookies! Well done!

[@lukasznowakowski9950]

glad u r doing fresh water again

[@MrKarloz97]

Beautiful fish and footage.

[@morganbaird200]

amazing video. keep that spot a secret theirs not many left.

[@josephkee1298]

That was great loved every minute of it

[@FishingPleasures]

Omg that's like a dream spot!!! Lol

[@fordpowerstroke2849]

Yeah I never caught stocked brook trout all natives

[@mabesanglingmn8985]

That was awesome to watch.

[@daver9594]

One of the most AMAZINGLY awesome Brookie vidios [Salvelinus fontinalis; Char fm.] I've ever seen! TX4S!

[@CraigMounsey]

Greetings for the Antipodes, Nice video Mate, enjoyable watch, liked the cometary to. when they're on they're on. We have days like this, but less ice.. Subbed. Cheers, Craig

[@chrisbrown8748]

You guys killed it. I'm hoping to do some ice fishing in PA this winter and would love to have a similar day as this.

[@mobius-1503]

Your hilarious man. Thanks for this insight on how they react and how to jerk the jig. Awesome stuff

[@clemmiller6464]

Loved watching your video, thanks for posting it.

[@rawrfishing]

sweet trout fishing. clear water too :)

[@Fake.plastic.guy.]

Brookies are gluttons! I caught a 2+lb fatty with a garter snake tail sticking out of its mouth and the backbone and skull coming out the backside, snake had to be 2.5ft long, and it STILL ate my jig! I was only 7 or 8 at the time too. Was a mountain lake in Quebec (same mountains, more snow, and the hillbilly's speak french.) that was full of brookies, bugs and not much else so they become cannibals when they outgrow bugs. Or y'know snakes, mice whatever gets swimming in the kill zone. The food is scarce in winter in cold clear lakes , that triggers aggressive competition which you filmed beautifully. Ya, the brook trout is the fish worlds equivalent of the chihuahua (known man-eaters, given enough time.).

[@papilio7431]

Omg,best spot on earth! Best video ever...

[@gestalt3]

Pretty jealous! Awesome shots, great fish!

[@ethank7522]

Awesome video!! I really wanna get back into trout fishing again
