[@brianeisenga882]

Sweet.

[@bluedogsurvive6501]

Great! East gaff- stick with large treble hook screwed to it, keep up the fun brother👍

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks brother 😊😊🙌

[@savagewolf1966]

LT,that was a much earned fish. Great job on getting them thru the hole.should taste 👍 great. nice caught.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks buddy!! It was such a rush landing both of those

[@savagewolf1966]

They where both so dark in color,is that do to the cold?great caught with a little ice rod ,must of put up a good fight ,white knuckle cold hand 👏 caught 💪👍👊

[@LTOutdoors15]

It was crazy lol. They actually get darker the longer they spend inland. They need to stay out deep to keep the color

[@savagewolf1966]

🤔,do they taste different also.didnt. Know about the color change.

[@LTOutdoors15]

They actually do. The longer they spend inland the worse the meat gets.

[@tomm2812]

I saw a video on eating lamprey eel. Said to be extremely tasty. Best

[@bradleymarquardt4464]

Now that had to be a blast. Great video well done.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Ice fishing steelhead is a riot. It gets nerve racking 😊🙌

[@frankklootwyk9085]

Those fish will put you through an emotional rollercoaster while fighting them. Most get impatient and loose them at the hole. Can tell you've been there. Done that. Good work bro and that Steely was a beautiful fish!

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks Frank!! That's so true!!! Its crazy how much goes into fighting them. Definitely a total roller coaster ride. I look forward to that battle every year

[@richb.1453]

[@rickrick7309]

That was a nail bitter good job

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks Rick!! Was a good 20 minute fight with that salmon!!

[@funnynader9149]

I would love to catch steelhead and cohos through the ice that would be awesome I’m surprised you don’t drill three holes in a triangle shape so it makes it easier to land them

[@LTOutdoors15]

I might try that next year, honestly I usually drill holes as fast as I can because it spooks them out for a bit

[@funnynader9149]

@@LTOutdoors15 oh ok I gotcha

[@GMC-lr4jj]

Great video, also nice to see you on MOD! That was awesome. Congratulations man!

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks brother!! It was such a good moment

Wow man, that was an exciting video to say the least! Those were some beautiful salmon and steelhead ya caught, especially that steelhead was super pretty, keep on rockin it man, your channel continues to gain more subscribers and some really good people as well! THE SKIES THE LIMIT!! Much love brother!

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊 thank you so much brother! It was definitely one of my favorite days this season

[@michigancaughtwild]

Awesome fish buddy! Nice job 👊

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊😊🙌 thank you so much brother! Had a blast fishing with you yesterday 👊🎣

[@michigancaughtwild]

@@LTOutdoors15 It was a great day. Love seeing you land those big fish on the ultra light gear. Earn those dinners!

[@LTOutdoors15]

@@michigancaughtwild 😊😊🙌 thanks brother!!! Its definitely an insane fight on that light stuff and I'm so happy that our tackle pulls it off every time. I'm looking forward to a future with you guys, your definitely family to me brother

[@WDFJR16345]

Way to go!

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks brother!!

[@evanjarvi406]

Damn fine fish Lt Im feeling a little jelly u catching all them dandys.keep it up and good luck!

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊😊🙌 thanks Evan!!! Wait till the next episode, it was an epic day

[@lawtoncustom8582]

May I ask what pole you're using and what action it is? Also may I ask what line type you're using and what pound line? I'm impressed you're catching salmon on a ghost inline.

[@LTOutdoors15]

That was the lake effect pannie stopper ultra light rod. I only run 4 lb berkley micro ice. Man the ghost does a great job with the big fish

[@billverheyden2561]

Another great outing, congrats on the beautiful steelhead.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks Bill!!!😊🙌

[@billverheyden2561]

👍

[@nikkiblack5073]

LT cut 2 holes that are connected so landing them beast will be easier. GREAT JOB

[@LTOutdoors15]

I definitely need to try something like that! Thanks 😊🙌

[@fishin_da_mitten8859]

Awesome vid bro💪

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊😊🙌 thanks brother

[@lukehaglund7592]

You had me more nervous than Don Knotts in a bank robbery trying to grab that fish!!!!!!!!!!

[@LTOutdoors15]

😂😂😂 dude its intense lol

[@thomashribar5092]

And put tip up line on ur tip up.u see all the memory in that line from running straight line.use tip up line and just put a leader on it.

[@LTOutdoors15]

I won't use tip up line on my windlass tip ups, that's not how they're supposed to be used. The only reason memory was that bad is Because it wasn't ice line. I catch plenty of fish bud

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Awesome job buddy sure not easy getting them through the ice! Beautiful fish!!

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks brother!! Its definitely not, they're probably the toughest to get through the hole lol

[@nickbarrett3607]

Man that was awsome brother. I can only imagine how much fun it was fighting them bad boys.👍👊

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks brother!!! There's definitely nothing like it man

[@Bob-ln1jh]

I used to have a Gaff hook I made out of an old treble hook

[@LTOutdoors15]

That's probably what I need

[@miangler6313]

Man I love the steelhead videos! I've not had the best experience with the drag on those black Betty's and it doesn't seem yours is too smooth either. I'll be on the sag river in the morning. Good content buddy.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thanks!! I'm actually loving the black Betty drag, I wasnt sure if I would like it but its handling well, I even caught a 31 inch pike 2 days ago on that 4 on test

[@icywolfboy182lol2]

@@LTOutdoors15 Is that the line you recommended for jigging for them? It seems like it would break for how big of fish they are lol. Just asking because it’s my first time doing this

[@LTOutdoors15]

@icywolfboy182lol2 yes I actually like using 4 lb test for them. I always have my drag set good so they can peel out though. They can be line shy so I think its important to use light line.

[@icywolfboy182lol2]

@@LTOutdoors15you use just straight mono or do you have a flouro leader? Thanks in advance

[@LTOutdoors15]

@icywolfboy182lol2 I just use straight mono! Works great I play my drag alot but it's very rare that I break off on a steelhead or salmon

[@jameshamilton2590]

Hey man i saw in your intro you have your aqua vu connected directly to a large marine/car battery. What do you need to connect it like that?

[@LTOutdoors15]

Hey!! You have to contact aqua vu and order their special cord for that. Sadly I've found it's the only way to run for long hours

[@jameshamilton2590]

@@LTOutdoors15 thanks a lot man!

[@LTOutdoors15]

😊🙌 you're welcome!!

[@junenagel4899]

nice job on the video, I agree with the comments about needing a gaff. plus you'll have it if you ever hook one of the giant walleyes in the saginaw river

[@Hawkeye45thParallel]

Beautiful fish 💪 🎣 Couldn't imagine reeling one of them through the ice.. Can you eat Lampray? That's first I've ever seen

[@LTOutdoors15]

I've actually caught a bunch of fish with lampreys over the years. Even have a video on here where I grab one out of a creek and it bites onto my hand lol

[@oldmanfred8676]

I think in Portugal they are eaten and are considered a “Delicatessen” as a guy I knew used to say!

[@markpetricevic3368]

Lampreys are trapped and discarded at weirs. They used to get very large and attach to lakers. Thats why lake trout need to be raised and stocked into the great lakes now. Because they swam in from the ocean and arrived in the great lakes in the 1940's. But in europe people have them to eat.

[@markmehalko2644]

Just discovered your show a few months ago. Very educational & enjoyable. I honestly believe it’s better than MOD. You do affordable things that outdoor people can do. Do you walk to your locations or use a machine. Especially curious about the salmon on the east side of the state . Keep up the great work.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Thank you so much Mark!! That means the world to me!! I have to walk everywhere! I'm hoping one day to have a machine though, I kill myself somedays with the mile plus hikes lol.

[@031568dennis]

Yep, the next slight noise you hear outside that shanty is going to be my auger, incognito mode.

[@LTOutdoors15]

😂😂😂😂

[@MegaYangman]

Both very nice Fish!!! Looks like you might need to invest in a fish gaff to keep your arm from freezing up.

[@LTOutdoors15]

Funny thing is I have like 3 in the barn I just never seem to grab them lol

[@lloydbeebe8019]

Man I wish I could go do this with you. Looks like a blast. Can’t imagine catching a steelhead threw the ice. Thanks for sharing your success. Came down with Covid Thursday. No fishing this weekend.

[@LTOutdoors15]

I'm so sorry lloyd, I hope you get well soon!!!

[@markpiekaczpiekacz912]

Can not hit you up on you're live video

[@jamesklinkhammer7539]

I like coho better than steelhead

[@LTOutdoors15]

They're a little better eating for sure

[@DROutdoors18]

Curious why on that size and species of fish you can't sneak up to 6 or 8 lb test for a quicker fight to keep the fish healthier and to not have to worry as much about break offs and bite offs

[@LTOutdoors15]

Why would I want to? It's all about the fight anyway, kinda like shooting a deer, the experience is the fun part. I would much rather have a good fight than try to horse any fish. Not to mention on those little tungsten jigs you don't dare pull much. I use 4 lb test for everything through the ice and always catch great fish
