Ice Fishing GIANT Crappies in Shallow Water + TIPS & TECHNIQUES

Tom Boley MERCH AND CONTOUR FISHING CLOTHING CO. - contourfishing.com\
Today we are back with another video! In this video we are fishing for giant crappies while ice fishing. I talk about some tips which I think will help when targeting big crappies through the ice. Ice fishing season is in full swing and a good day of catching big crappies is always a blast. Thanks for watching the ice fishing videos.

YES, please bring in more content on chasing BIGs crappies

[@FishingOD_OFFICIAL]

Those fish were nuts! Great video Tom! I love how informative each video is.

[@ryanhatzenbeller1649]

Thanks for mentioning the line you were using. Ice geeks like me appreciate hearing those details.

[@waynesell3681]

Very very cool looks like a good time! You've definitely got All the good stuff. Plus sharing the knowledge!

[@duanes5117]

Keep it up with multi species. I love fishing panfish, especially big crappies. Great job tom

[@rosey2121]

Great content Tom, keep up the great work ! Thank you!

[@raysomerville6383]

Great content, I've caught double the amount of fish this season due to this channel. Keep it up.

[@terryattewell5842]

Another great video Tom....keep them coming

[@smallfishbigpond5047]

I appreciate how u handle all the fish u catch TB! U are quick in getting them unhooked and get them back in the water quickly and with low stress. Thank you!

[@NatvBearHntr]

Not sure what video you are watching or maybe just not paying attention but the very first fish he caught there was a break in the recording which means he had it out of the water long enough to edit out all the wasted time it took him to find his measuring spoon.

[@jimc4839]

He needs to tell the story after he releases. Too many talk too much while holding the fish. I'm not even listening to what they are saying. I'm timing the release.

[@AnimalJones_outdoors]

Awesome keep up the great work bud!

[@briankent8231]

Great job Tom…… totally awesome video.

[@ihus9950]

Thanks, great info👍🏻

[@brianharrington5593]

Gotta love getting into them like you have. Nice when you catch them that large. I know, I love catching them on small jerkbaits in late fall. When they hit, hard to tell difference from a 4lb. bass, just crush the jerkbait. Keep up the tremendous content in our videos. Thank you.

[@chadclark2070]

Love crappie fishing

[@neilrippey1344]

Tom I'd like to hear your thoughts on barometric pressure and how it affects fishing. Thanks for the great videos.

[@greenpea9412]

Man you live near so many awesome fishing lakes. I feel like I would enjoy retiring up there somewhere. Your set up is a dream set up.

[@krantz10]

Crappie madness!! Hell yeah!

We went to 3 lakes in Hayward yesterday all slush. Wasn't great, but still got 6 bluegills.

Thank you for another great video. You mentioned the Jig used, how about the plastic?

[@rickjames2618]

What’s your opinion of the odyssey 40 vs the evolution 42 noodle? How does the tip and rod action differ?

[@Mkbrachtel]

Hi Tom- I looked through the links but could not find, would you mind sharing what you were using for plastics in this video? Thanks and keep it up!!

[@neilwitkowski2521]

Lake gogeibic Michigan my suggestion

[@coltenschillinger8553]

Tom would love to hear how you find them and what to look at. I did send a message on Facebook asking a few questions.

[@ssdpqd2531]

You need to go back to ND. Road trip for more walleye

[@19jake23]

Crappie sammiches for supper tonight. Mmm

[@CaseyBluestone-kt4xx]

I'm just wondering I have a 10 inch auger blade I can a drill what size drill to use with out burning the drill

[@adambrigham4241]

Hey man ! You ever try the RonnieBird lures !? Panfish and walleye killer !

[@The-Capitalist]

What a slab

[@jackmama6669]

What lake is this on? Crappie that size up north are hard to find up here!

[@tomwestrom2849]

What Go Pro model do you use in your videos??

[@AnthonyXiong]

Crappies are my favorite fish to chase! Tom you should dedicate a week or two this year and really chase them hard to get a true Wisconsin giant 16+! Open water or ice, river or lake, don’t matter where just getter done!

[@wallster4191]

I saw Ty Sennet guiding a fishing show from a few years back on the same lake Tom was on but over basin and he was catching 16" and 17" and that was before live imaging (a lot of holes were drilled!)! I too would love to see a little more content other than the walleye for just a bit. It's nice to have a little change up in content, at least i think most of us appreciate it. Man, it must be just a relentless grind being out on the road that much. Glad to see some content from the hayward area too, even with the added issues of snow and slush.

[@wallster4191]

I don't know about you Anthony, but I feel offended. Why did the scammer bot ignore us?! LOL 😆

I was thinking same while watching video , if I took a drink of beer every time he said "dude". 😅 After a 20min video I would have a serious buzzon.. 😆 🤣

[@juliosdiy3206]

I know a lake that has giant crappies i have a npanoptix but i have not been able to find the pack just one here one there. Maybe this lake the crappies dont hang in packs i dont know.

[@noscopeking6514]

What lake?

[@clemdoggmillionaire9914]

Great content! Love ice fishing. Stay away from that Full Mount MMA theme song. They will find you and tap you out

[@matthewmcnulty698]

I follow a youtuber who ice. Fishes he. Made what he. Calls the ultimate hole 🕳 hopper

[@wesvohnoutka625]

Why would you flop your hand on an exposed auger blade? Or am I just seeing things. I notice in other videos your blades are next to you by your fish hole as well. Cover or put those blades pointing away from you. You are on ice. People slip, dogs bump into things. I've seen people cut their day short of fishing because they have to run to the ER to get some serious stitches. Be safe, be smart. PS, is this the same spot your wife found those slabs the other day for you? 😁 Nice fish Tom.

[@wallster4191]

😆😆 I bet Shelby would appreciate a ring on her finger! I don't think they're married yet!😆

[@nickpantori2359]

why do you always release? Do you ever keep your catches?

[@waynewurst3487]

How can you find fish without a live scope I don't have 5000 to spend

[@TomBoley]

Don't have to use livescope at all. Just drill more holes to find weed pockets.

[@jamesvalcke]

You should turn that birghtight against the tent to diffuse the light more. It's bright enough, but almost too intense. Shining it against the tent should help dull the intensity.

[@paulstubbings645]

[@mikeanderson2037]

White crappies?

[@bennythejett3979]

These are all Black Crappies

[@ryanschaffer5777]

First?

[@wrightschannel8433]

Yeah let’s see you try catching some fish without electronics or maybe just a budget level set up. Not everyone has that much money to drop on a setup. If you have one of those you really don’t need no tips or anything damn thing tell ya exactly where they are.

[@coleanderson8969]

How to find fish: buy a $5,000 live scope.

[@archery20]

Since when is LiveScope $5k?

[@nathangravel3584]

hahaha yup can’t argue with the technology. my livescope is crazy fun!

[@cink1461]

Worth every penny! I catch fish 5-1 against guys with vexilar only.

[@archery20]

I have LiveScope, but also still use my vexilar a bunch. LVS definitely better for finding structure and fish. Time saver for sure, but you still need the right presentation! I have less than $1600 in my whole setup. LiveScope is pretty durable and you can find some good deals on used LVS32’s. Which is what I did.

[@TheLoopy989]

I did and it’s still hard ding ding.
