Jay, it was very nice for you and Sam to take some time to discuss with my 2 boys, Louis (7) and Felix (5), while your mind was probably into the tournament. I really appreciate you did this. Even your gentle soft spoken approach couldn't get Louis and Felix to interact. I have never seen them as startstruck, they were literally hiding under the seats of the boat! They have been following your videos avidly, and you are one of their favorite fishing vlogger. You have been a major influence on them and they often quote your tips while we are out fishing (like, leeches can be hooked from either end). I am not an outdoors-man and I certainly did not initially brought up my kids to be outdoors-kids either. However thanks to your adventures we have become aware of how lucky we are to be on Lake of the Woods, and the endless fishing possibilities that are offered to us. You have somehow showed us the way and we spend most of our summer week-ends on the lake fishing now. And this week-end Louis caught his first Smallmouth bass master angler. All of this would have never happened without people willing to share their passion. Thank you Jay, best wishes of success for your current and future endeavors.

How very nice!!

[@Tyler-xe1es]

Very thoughtfull and well spoken message ! Sure hope Jay sees this ! I just found his channel and am glad I did ! I live in South Western Ontario ! Town called Belle River on Lake St.Clair ! Good fishing and boating, Famous for Musky ! Fish on brother !

[@ralphrohr]

Well, over here in Germany, there is a Little Boy called Luis (9). He is into fishing since he was 4 or 5. And guess what? He likes Jay's (and Mr. Wiebe's…) vids too, sadly enough we don't have the fishing opportunities as you canadians. We are happy with a carp or some small pike. But he is going for it coz he see People around the world fish and he is influenced by them, like your Boys. So be happy about your rivers, lakes and streams and use them wisely and carefully and show Kids what treasures these are!!! Keep up fishin' and greets to Louis and Felix!!!!

[@meals24u]

Wow such a deep message! Thanks for sharing!!

[@chrisderek8150]

you probably dont give a shit but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me

[@midwestflyfishing]

Glad you made a video of this tournament, been wanting to watch another one since Aaron posted it back in 2016. Great cinematography as usual

[@fdyhdfhy]

Awesome too see you take the spotlight instead of being just the camera guy. I’m sure Aaron misses you being his videographer. Hope y’all still talking.

[@fdyhdfhy]

Also, Sam is a beast fisherlady. Unreal how well she can hammer those fish. Well done girl

[@geehomedumoulin2423]

Or married at 16:45 loll sooo funny Sam !!! 👍🏼 great fishing guys !! Trolling for big one is the way to go !! Big jointed husky jerk blue and orange is my favourite!!

[@JaySiemens]

Hahah thanks for watching!

[@mikeygermsheid4643]

Man jay just seems like the nicest guy in the world i would love to meet him someday!

[@rickweinhandl2416]

I have been fishing kenora since the late 60's. Sam your right Kenora is a awesome place. Look forward to fishing next year in your beautiful country.

[@mikeboston421]

jig with a big green drake nymph like the one that hatched and landed on your coat, lol, Sam and the Sam cam are awesome, great vid, looks like fun

[@SheLovesToFish]

Love the video, Jay! It was so nice to see you at the weigh-in and meet Sam! Keep up the great work!

[@daviddelcloo2928]

Nice job on the video, I enjoyed seeing how you set the camera up at the front and the SamCam. Thanks for sharing open water tips with Reef Runners. We don't uually run them until the fall fishing on the Bay of Quinte. Keep up the fine videos. David aka Superdad4sure

[@22steny]

My Fiance and I just finished our second big walleye tourney in July. The best is your statement at the end of video We are still together! We lost a big one at boat day one.

[@DCBronzies]

This method of trolling looks dope! Nice and simple and you get a better feel for the fight!

[@brandondelgado8203]

Top 3 favorite videos of you, I can tell the excitement when one is hooked up.

[@kenbrown5449]

Really fun video to watch guys. Keep up the great content!

[@stevebenson3024]

800 reef runners are a good bait as long as you keep them tuned. Deep water Bandits also great bait for that depth. Try putting a piece of night crawler top of the back hook. Doesn't affect the action. Works great on Erie. Nice video.

[@jefffrancis7198]

Man Sam always kills it. You should bring her everytime!

[@matthewknight1930]

Good show..enjoyed! Great teamwork!

[@blackwatersportfishing1814]

Another incredible video jay!

[@stevenrochon2513]

Love Sam's happy dance when she catches a biggn. Great videos. Are there any hunting videos in the future???

[@JaySiemens]

Maaaaaaybe!

[@mikemccarthy2226]

Sam was killing it! Great job!

[@fishingwithcam7449]

I lost a HUGE walleye today at the back of the boat 🙁. It was a 10lbs walleye

[@andrewkenny742]

Really love the tourney format.

[@thecresseffect7549]

Love the videos man,, I cannot catch a walleye if my life depended on it, not sure what I’m doing wrong there

[@joeydesousafishing1203]

Pretty sure I seen you and Sam out on one of those days so that was pretty cool and the bite was extremely slow that day so I was surprised to see how many fish you guys got but then again Sam is a fish whisperer

[@marcbouffard4042]

Should have fished with Taro... gurarenteed money soney!

[@marcbouffard4042]

Or maybe Sam should have fished with Taro

[@MsPrincesspaulina]

Fishing a tournament with the love of your life, priceless.

[@edstaart8548]

SamCam is a winner, goodluck next time .

[@sobifishing]

Visor game strongggggg

[@JaySiemens]

💪💪💪💪💪

[@jons7677]

That would suck with slot fish. Bass masters would be like wtf? 😂 Have to think too much. I know you guys aren't big on pike, but I luv a good pike bite. Luv eating them too.

[@Kayhaw40]

another great video

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks Ben

[@chrisbraun11]

Awesome video man! Unfortunate that you lost the two fish on day one. But there's always next year!

[@jg_fishing4897]

HHhahaha when sam catches that first big one the little happy feet hahah

[@colesmall250]

If you want to get more walleye use leadcore and redfins

[@17hunter00]

11:10 "We're so fast!" 5 seconds later: "We're getting passed" :I

[@JaySiemens]

Not the fastest in the league but we've got heart!

[@lildavies1140]

Was this around the time that areas of forest near Minaki were burning? For a few days I couldn’t see 50 feet ahead of myself it was nuts

[@dronereviews3220]

i love you guys .. your great fishermen and lady... max props to you both on the KWO

[@JaySiemens]

I love you! Thanks for watching!

Gangsta Sam with the #SamCam !!!!

[@207outdoorsmoody4]

Sam cam.....Sam cam.....Everyone loves Sam cam......

[@780outdoors]

Loved the Sam cam! Good luck next year! Hey jay do u think the reason those fish dies was because ur live well screen was plugged? Or were the fish just stressed out?

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks so much! Not sure on the exact reason 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Reeser00]

You guys are living the dream! Marry that girl.

[@BucksNwalleyes]

What type of line were you using? How deep do those reef runners go when 100 ft back?

[@The_Endo]

+1 thumbs up for jumping in the lake naked in the name of competition 16:20

[@cbowick1000]

jay has a friend on him 4:24

[@m3ga008]

Great Video

[@schoover]

Something I've always wondered while watching your videos: How does the use of the metric system factor into how you measure fish? You always measure your fish in inches. Do you guys just use inches so we all speak the same language in terms of fish?

[@JShera]

Robert Curtin Canada uses the metric system. Hence Km/h and fishing regulations using cm.

[@jaredolsen4242]

What is the make and model of landing net your using in this video?

[@summitreigns1657]

How deep were you vertical jigging and trolling cranks

[@savanha2.069]

Yess I love this

[@ksoutdoorsports]

Sam smoked some biggin's! To bad about the day 1, 2 dead... It looks like that would have moved you up a bunch.

[@GusgusA1]

do you need a live well for this tourny?

[@JaySiemens]

Yes!

[@TheoToliverFishing]

Awesome Video Jay! Question... How was Sam determining how much line she was letting out since she didnt have a line counter?

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks! She would let out at the same time as me typically, otherwise she just guessed.

[@TheoToliverFishing]

Jay Siemens thanks for your response homie!!!

[@noahverra6364]

hey jay whats your rod and reel set up trolling there

[@seashurjewelry]

sweet!

[@bigfishbrau]

you didnt fish it this year?? :(

[@jam1324]

Those 2bite brownies make good bait or are they just payment for the Samcam? Great video Jay.

[@JaySiemens]

Hahaha

[@TooterBear23]

Is that twin islands?

[@beardeddude9168]

Bummer about the filter Dude. But, you still did a decent job catching!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks Adam!

[@kylekubik4468]
