That's a good wife... "...yeah I've got COVID and am 38 weeks pregnant...but hey, you go fishing and make a video..." She's the best "keeper" you'll ever land...😉👍

[@benherzog7579]

As of today the rainy has broke the previous record from 1950, gotta be some islands on lake of the woods almost under water. Another blow to the resorts in the area after 2 years of covid. Stay safe.

[@jam1324]

Hey Jay what makes a joke a dad joke? When it becomes apparent! You should find that one funny any day now. Congrats on the baby to you and Sam thanks for all the hard work entertaining us over the years from you two.

[@SledorFish]

[@WrokBindsor]

Fast healing and best of health to you both!

[@peimanmalekmarzban4633]

[@codychickadee5095]

My wife's sister got covid last year when she was pregnant. Best of health for you and Sam and baby.

[@JJTFishing]

[@jessepicken1662]

[@drewandcharlie7583]

Man lucky ya didnt get it when delta was going around i am 36 and in good shape. I was sick for 16 days and my lungs were messed up for 5 months. The strains going around now just are not the same. Thank god.

[@patrickgibson2828]

[@johnzach8528]

[@Holdmybeer21]

Another awesome video Jay! Seriously man it’s so fun watching you fish while learning so many new things! Your one of a kind bro keep up the great work!

[@marcus_stabe]

Praying for you guys. Don’t be nervous. I know that’s easier said than done but I’ve been there. You’re about to experience the most incredible time of your life. Cherish every second. You’re going to be amazing parents!

[@jeremyhespen8516]

So happy for the two of you. Seems like yesterday when we watched you propose to Sam while musky fishing.

[@TacticoolCraig]

You know your Canadian when your pwc is in the water already, in lake of the woods . You and Sam rock . Watching in Barrie Ontario

[@TacticoolCraig]

I always loved dock fishing as a kid when parents didn’t want to go out . Millions of casts an hours on my stomach with a hand line catching panfish . Great content as always

[@kenbrown5449]

Hope ya'll get better real soon! Especially Sam. Take care of yourselves.

[@kknicekewl]

Awesome video! Making me excited for my upcoming fishing trip.

[@jussdank]

Thanks for awesome content and sending prayers to you and the family.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Jay: If you get your cat on your yak you best have a camera ready to go. I expect the first drop of water on a paw will result in comedy gold.

[@thelonesomefisherman7425]

Best wishes for a healthy delivery, Sam.

[@michaelmaretti3979]

A little advice that I got from the nurse when my son was born "The night will be long, but the years will be short" Enjoy every minute, my son is now 22! Good luck I am sure you guys will be great parents!!

[@sniffum35]

Jay.... holy crap that shot in the thumbnail is amazing.

[@blake.everyday]

Such a Rollercoaster of emotions in this video. Glad to hear the family is doing well despite the rough news. Hopefully the move in goes smoothly!

[@scotttutewiler3938]

Good luck with the birth. Hope everything goes well for mom and baby. Prayers to all of you

[@Northof54]

Always enjoy your vids Jay!! Thompson MB here! Our water is two ft low which is crazy for the amount of snow we got up here this year! Stay safe and best wishes to you guys and your baby!!!

[@marioperalta8062]

Hey Jay, love your videos man, Wish I was a good fisherman like you

[@nossling8898]

Need a big bait out on the dock all day see if a big pike come's by. Love the video's

[@moedog5087]

Beautiful place you have! I like vlog style and the kayak fishing videos too! 😁

[@Badkharma21]

Congratulations on your pregnancy! Hope Covid recovery is speedy!

[@jackgibney6915]

what a bucket!

[@brucejames3055]

Praying for you , Sam & baby to be safe and well in your life's adventure. After the baby comes, be sure you give Sam a chance at those breaks on the water (OR WHAT SHE WANTS) that help one recharge. Jay, I have been very impressed with your behavior and how you treat your friends and family. Good on you, and your parents and grand parents.

[@Offthegridfishing]

im definitely going to have to drive up there for a few days , my girlfriend and I both love your videos

[@johnthazelett8833]

Thought I was gonna dodge covid too but It got me 2 weeks ago. Hope the water is back to somewhat normal levels when I get up to the family cabins on Roughrock in July- been 3 yrs and can't wait. Best wishes on the new cabin and the baby.

[@keenanmoore264]

Jay you might want to be carful showing off your cottage location. Never know with the crazies out there. tight lines!

[@calebclairmont9530]

dude keep it up i love the camp

[@Fish_more]

Every vid is the best

[@Fish_more]

Thanks jay for inspiration to fish more

[@sniffum35]

Your videography is so far beyond other KZbin channels it's ridiculous. Not this video particularly, just commenting here so you see it. Awesome work.

[@mrbtwice]

You are by far my favorite fishing channel, I dont think there has been a video put out yet of yours that I haven't watched since finding you a few years ago. So happy for all the things you guys have going on, and good luck with the baby! Hope everything goes well. Can't wait for a few years to hopefully get to see you passing all of your fishing knowledge down the line!

[@willthrelkeld1432]

So excited for the two of you my wife is pregnat with our 8th child! My second oldest son loves to watch your fishing videos as do I keep them coming! If you ever make it to Little Falls MN hit us up he would love to take you fising on the Mississippi. He will probly call dibs on my old town. lol. Sam ya look great just breath enjoy the moment Jay be there for her as you always are you two are going to be great parents Gods love to you both and Have fun with the next few weeks they are the best most amazing fast changing days ever!

[@jakelittle359]

awsome content thanks from rocky mountins alberta

[@gunnarbuz]

I have a lake trout lake near my house that is closed for the winter and only accessible by kayak or canoe which i have pulled all my best lakers from, it takes some practice and patience but the vertical jigged laker from the kayak is so rewarding!

[@loboyd691]

Same thing here in North Dakota. The lake that we fish was up about 3.5-4 feet from the insane spring rain.

[@ogfredhawkins]

That camp is incredible. Best wishes on the child birth. Cheers !

[@muskybites505]

Hey Jay, cut your hair hippie 😂 Best wishes to the soon to be 3 family!!!

[@james199920]

Man the high water there is crazy! We have the complete opposite in Alberta, our water levels are pretty low... We could use some rain 😅

[@wills.fishing1071]

Boundary waters water level is insane right now too!

[@JakeBarr17]

Due date is so close, good luck to you both.

[@alecwilcox6549]

I’m a fisheries biologist tech at voyageurs national park and the water is insanely high on the namakan basin and rainy. Rainy officially broke the record high from 1950. Lots of lost homes, cabins and docks.. hopefully it will peak soon.

[@squishy1127]

I always have to chuckle when you call Kenora "northwest Ontario" when it's about as southwest Ontario as you get. I get that it's north of Toronto, windosor and the like but Ontario is huge and goes wwwaaaayyyyy further north that LOTW. I'm betting the people who are actually from northwest Ontario like those of us from northern Minnesota hate when somewhere in the southern half of the state os called northern MN.

[@BCyr1991]

Actual “NorthWest Ontario” has effectively zero residents. Windsor to Toronto is considered southwest Ontario.

[@bustinbass78]

Holy misery. Poor Sam. Get well soon.

[@ezrawarkentinsoutdoors]

I have a cabin on the lake and my docks flooded too

[@firecaptaintom1977]

Seems like yesterday you were proposing out there. BTW, I love my PDL106.

[@ryanlillypad]

We call them “camps” in Maine, too!

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub ! Liked ✌️👍🤩

[@iainkurry6606]

We call em camps in maine, thought we were the only ones. My buddy from Minnesota insists they’re cabins or lakehouses

[@thelonewolf967]

By the time I am posting this rainy lake and river have already surpassed the 1950s record high level. The rainy river damn is overflowing

[@aaronhunt4305]

Hey jay, do you ever use some sort of an anchor on the yak… if so what?

[@JaySiemens]

I typically don’t use one. Sometimes I use my powerdrive that has a spot lock feature.

[@Daniel-vy5vq]

can you do a video about what setup you use for walleye and smallies

[@robclark1215]

Sorry to hear Jay. How's the baby? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@blackmoonangler]

They call them camps in Maine too

[@brendenjohnson1258]

Lucky we are record lows in northern Montana

[@_Stetsi]

Hey whatever happened to your NuCanoe Frontier?! (I own same model) Are Old Towns just way better? Do you see a big difference when you switch between the 106 & 120? As always- Love watching your stuff. I really appreciate that you & Sam share a fishing / life mix, and include the fun & challenges of marriage into your story!

[@GalensFishing]

Need a lake Trout trolling video

[@keenanmoore264]

Are bass already in season in northern ontario?

[@jonathanreimer6882]

Bonus is devils gap should be deeper.

[@evynhole5429]

gosh I have had covid 2 times possibly a 3rd how did you dodge it for 2 years.

[@bsimmons00]

Curious why you don't have a net?

[@commiecrusher]

And the Saskatchewan river system is at damm near record lows...

[@TylersBeard]

Sam Camp

[@whatsyourmax223]

Hit that like button 🛎💯🛎

[@jordant5816]

Jay, I love you

[@esoxaddict]

I must be missing something. You moved out to an island 9 days before your due date? Did you watch a video on delivering babies? That seems crazy to me.

[@samwallin1095]

Not on an island! Ten minute drive to town by car.

[@bsimmons00]

Another question, what did you do with the walleye you kept? Do you have some sort of live well or did you bleed it? Getting into kayak fishing and always looking for tips. Honestly, I think a bare bones video about exactly how you've found things to work for you would be great. Every little detail from launching to getting in the kayak to dealing with kept fish and so on.

[@christophercarolla1061]

jay i have insane respect for you and all you do BUT,,,how bout you ditch the elec tronics and fish like like you are supposed to, the old fashioned way...by gut and by feel and by intellect which you have in spades. kind of tired of you marking fish on the sonar and casting directly into thier mouths. sort of takes the spirit out of it.

[@farisfayedalshebani]

My first time Kayaking and this Kayak held strong. kzbin.infoUgkx4k5UrhC3v_Y4hIEaXLGvHcN5a5aBmZNB The water got pretty rough as a speed boat zipped by me, and the Kayak withstood it (I expected to be capsized). The Ores are very easy to put together, the pump worked beautifully. the seats are a bit hard to sit in after a while (I recommend sitting on the floor). after reading the reviews I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable. The Air valve may need a small Phillips head screwdriver to adjust, other than that, it's well worth the money!(update)I've gone Kayaking in 3 Lakes and 2 rivers totaling about 40 miles. the kayak had two holes and they patched easily and no other problems can't wait for kayaking season this year!

[@markcomisky7106]

Have ever tried a Sports pal canoe they are supp to be awesome for back country

[@RobertKearl-Outdoor-Adventures]

Being this video is from 3 weeks ago and Sam was 9 days away from the birth should be closer or have had your lil one .

[@leon_bel_fishing]

Would love to get a yak one day to fish the days away. Not sure if mine will be as rigged up. Still looks fun

[@chinncannon]

Hope you both have fully recovered from Covid and have no long Covid symptoms. It has plagued lots of people I know including my wife and it stinks. Good luck with the baby!

[@rylandowney4644]

Hoping sam feels better awesome video btw super cool footage of the water levels in the boathouse

[@jrwarrior1100]

Hope you’re healthy brother ❤️ glad the fam is okay too ! Keep on baby!

[@coleg4783]

My favorite videos!!

[@NellysfishingAdventures]

Kayak fishing has grown fast in the past year, our tournament group is now seeing 100 anglers per event. It was good to see you on the Old Town

[@fishingsouthernontario6384]

I just bought a kayak so hyped for the kayak content!

[@carlfriedrich5316]

I think you just sealed my decision on that same boat. There’s something fun about fighting a fish that pulls the boat around.

[@mdpenner]

Hey Jay, love your videos. Great video a while back on the Garmin Striker 4. How about a video about a portable live well ! Cheers !!!

[@letsgofishingboys8756]

The fact that you believe in COVID really makes me not want to watch you anymore… 🐑🐑🐑

[@jacksonleska1470]

Holy cow this guy really doesn’t shut up.

[@itzlogical9795]

I am always in awe of LW, I went up there for a few weekends, and the average size of these fish I was catching is mind boggling. I love watching your videos & living vicariously through you

[@ziongal333]

Do other surrounding lakes like low bow lake for example have high water levels too?

[@tammyquinlan1240]

I was checking out that exact kayak today , considering one in the next couple week. just wondering what accessories you'd recommend?

[@tammyquinlan1240]

Oh also this being my first kayak i was just wondering how secure it is to stand in?

[@jacobneymeyer9692]

What feel would you recommend for musky

[@jacobneymeyer9692]

Reel*

[@jaron_G.]

Awesome video!!🔥 keep it up!💪

[@TooManyHobbies]

Good luck with the baby! I have a 10 month old, it's a wild ride that's for sure!

[@creatorwords4113]

A dad, you're going to like that Jay!

[@pcgeol]

Fish on? Kids on!

[@dansmidwestangling]

I grew up in Maine and there any building you own that is not your primary residence on separate property from your primary residence is referred to as a "camp", and when traveling to your camp it does not matter which direction you are traveling, you are simply going "Up-ta Camp"

[@rippinmn8934]

hey dude nice video!!!

[@cabinvibesebaystore8956]

New sub ! Liked

[@ziongal333]

Do you think it will drop by august time?

[@idek8751]

my dock at the lake of the woods is usually a good 3 and a half feet above the water and now its submerged fully
