Commercial Fishing 101 | The Canadian Angle

Jay Siemens teams up with Daniel Stagg and Nathan Olson to learn the art of commercial fishing. They head out the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba to set gill nets in search of whitefish and walleye. After a day setting nets the guys use the by-catch ciscos caught in the nets and head out to ice fish for big hungry northern pike.

Jay's & Daniel are right there has always been some tension between recreational angles and commercial fishermen, I never thought much about it and it makes sense that they dont want to target all the spawning fish, always cool when you can learn something while being entertained. Great job guys, stay safe.

[@jonaholson1583]

so many years I watched both Meateater and Jay separately, and it makes me happy that they have combined!

[@JaySiemens]

SEASON 5 HERE WE GO!

[@joryhaken4589]

I absolutely love that you guys have partnered with Jay and Stag for the ice fishing videos! Two great Canadian fishermen right there! Love the content! 🙌

[@briancollins8237]

Loved it! So much fun to watch this one! This crew needs to get together often! Great chemistry together, terrific fishing action, and nice editing! Great little film!!!

[@avail657]

Stagg on the line is THE most underrated fishing content on youtube

[@snapcrack55]

They should cook that at 350....

[@kentuuri8272]

RESPECT! Jay go back at end of January beginning of February and see the freezing weather & wind those men work in on a daily basis ✌️

[@Hunt_Fish_Ride_Prepare_907]

Glad to see the Canadian Angle is back!

[@a-a-ron1776]

I'm 10 minutes in and already blown away. Wild episode!

[@Charactermatters650]

Old dude here - Love to fish - anything, anywhere, anytime…you guys rock - gives me hope for the younger fishermen

[@nossling8898]

Growing up my step father is native and did commercial fishing on lake Nipissing I always enjoy every time I was brought out also where I learned to clean fish so well as that was one of the few things I could help with. I've caught some monsters in the winter while they set and I was always taught to release the large fish its the way to respect the lake.

[@Roninx1980]

I was a little reticent to watch this as it’s not normally my go to for my queue, but this was thoroughly entertaining and so cool to see all those big pikes. Excellent job gents.

[@crowman5936]

THAT was a truly great video with some great locals to the area showing their way of life.

[@TheTimmehtimmeh]

Lake Winnipeg beauty. My home waters once again, thanks Jay

[@JakeBarr17]

Love that this series is still going on! Can’t wait for more

[@kaleoariola]

What an epic time! I'm happy you all had fun. Glad I found this series. Great video, mahalo for sharing.

[@nathanfriesen2351]

That's what it's all about! What a great video! Really cool to learn about and see some commercial fishing up close... and the Northern Pike fishing, that was something!

[@chadbooth4371]

Great show Jay! As a fairly serious angler it’s nice to see commercial fishing done the way it should be done.

[@kevinstromquist5954]

Who knew that ice fishing was so cardio intensive, so many Northerns .... Have to say that ice fishing technology is amazingly effective and relies on a wooden shuttle and no electronics. Great show gents.

[@macshatchetman13]

Oh my. There was so much joy. What a wonderful couple of dudes, Jay. Fun episode.

[@IncognitoGuy9]

Great video!! Got to learn about a part of fishing that is kinda hush hush due to the public perception. Nice to see how much the commercial fisheries can care about sustainability. Fun to see you fish with a couple of charismatic dudes, lots of laughs and makes for a good day of fishing. ✌️

[@Conmantwitty]

Jay you gotta make a few more videos with those two guys. They were awesome.

[@jtothefx]

Two legends, meat eater channel for the win

[@GerryLaBau]

Fun vid, really like the selective harvest part, they know what they are doing.

[@dustinmurdock204]

My grandpa's, uncles and my dad were commercial fisherman from manitoba. I remember doing this as a kid and helping them out. This is a bit of nostalgia for sure.

[@TheVideos1234567890]

Hi Dustin!

[@thirdiprodigy3579]

This is awesome to see a fellow from the same hometown on meateater 🎣🎣

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Good to see everyone having fun pulling nets Awesome video. And the pike looks so delicious. Awesome also Thank you for sharing. 👋🏽👍🏽

[@mtnman6942]

Good to see another ice fishing video Jay. The commercial fishing side of it was very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Our ice here in the Cariboo is just getting thick enough for us to go out, chasing brookies, burbot and rainbows. Tight lines and sharp hooks 😎👍

[@WrokBindsor]

Seriously educational! Jay is the best!

[@markhabeck6614]

This was a great video really interesting thank you, you are the best Jay.

[@fishnreidsflyfishing2055]

best one yet, so glad this series is back

[@WoodsNorth]

Of all the best angles, my favorite has to be the Canadian one 😛 get ‘em Jay!

[@bustinbass78]

Jay puts out great work

[@Roosterer]

Loved this. Certainly one of the best.

[@MTrocker0221]

The ice fishing vehicle is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen! I want one!😜

[@mrlogic6056]

Its so amzing to see people share such an experience!😀Keep up the great work!!!

[@caiogiesbrecht]

Finally another Canadian Angle. Gotta Represent!!

[@chaddavey1]

Cool video guys! Really enjoyed this one!

[@snapcrack55]

I recognized that voice right away! How could you not mention his KZbin channel???? Stagg on the line!

[@peterparsons7141]

That’s what ice fishing can be like. For every 20 trips, you get one trip that keeps you coming back !

[@TwistedTravv]

we have to bombardiers fully souped up with power steering! nice to see other people using them we got them from flinflon

[@ZandMb]

What a great episode

[@dalbert4991]

Enjoyed that one fellas!!!

[@kristophanderson3798]

Had low expectations after seeing the title but this one was awesome!

[@GillsNReelsFishing]

What a Pike-Fest‼️ Nice work.

[@FondelMikeRotch]

40 years ago a 50” pike while walleye fishing was pretty much a daily occurrence. We would usually hook one every trip. Times of change. We never called them big till they hit 50.

[@justinrice243]

It looked like a great time

[@wouldntyoulike2know883]

Man I have been waiting on some Canadian angle!!!!!!

[@JigginwithG]

Hell of an episode!

[@kirtthomason4620]

that's some overdue content! great stuff, well done👍👍

[@watertothepeople]

Awesome episode, really enjoyed that!

[@Walleye279]

What an awesome video

[@jessebaker5007]

Jay has the best angling videos by far. Hit hits all of the categories

[@alcidegrenier]

that daniel seems like a fun guy to fish with. legend has it he a pretty decent beer league hockey player

[@reekypilsaw]

As someone who played the walleye chop with him in Minneapolis, solid hockey player, solid dude!

[@woodsfamily1986]

great vid!!!!!!!!!!! keep them coming!

[@prezzle208]

Im so excited for ice fishing. I got one place thick enough to fish but its been above freezing during the day which makes me nervous on thin ice.

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

i thought most would be dead in the net too. So this was an eye opener for me and i likely owe some folks a "Sorry". Cheers Jay and crew.

[@staggontheline]

apologies accepted

[@Sam-go3yn]

That was wild!

[@BrandonPercell]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing.

[@normbutler6627]

Wow, Wow, Wow nice pike and that was a slow day? Holy smoke we all would like to have a "slow day" like that.

[@robertflint4115]

26 minute video released 16 minutes ago and people leaving comments about the video. I am no math expert, 🤔....Rock on MeatEaters 🤘😎

[@marksalinas8744]

Love some ice fishing!

[@lexlax999]

Great episode keep it up

[@plumbussmith]

Great episode. Just started fishing in Canada this year myself but nothing like this.

[@Handlebar79]

That bombadier is a sweet rig! What I’d give to have one of them or a snow bear lol

[@xmooosemeat7480]

I was doing this when I was 15 and did it for about 4 years with my uncles and cousins. Summer and winter it was hard work and filleting fish. I thought it was harder in the summer it was a workout. On lake of the woods

[@senorburnsy]

Stag is one very funny guy!

[@zachrichardson4394]

Jay is the man!!!

[@aMoodyCanadian]

Aww yeah baby Canada represent

[@dylanritter3660]

hell yeah eh

[@kenzistoen6668]

6:55 to 7:05 hell ya Jay. Pick a pace and stick with it!

[@madtownangler]

The limit on pike where I live at is one over forty inches. I rarely catch a small one.

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice !

[@jonathanagnew]

Good stuff

[@dediandtoys9319]

Nice video

[@keenanmoore264]

Okayyyy, let's go.

[@dannyb.9721]

EPIC!!!

[@kenzistoen6668]

So what is the time frame from where you pulled up that first fish up at 9:50 from the time you set that same net

[@Slormer]

Siiiick

[@harleyfolgado]

I've seen those snow bugs out by simcoe before

[@hosehead_]

Canadian Angle!

[@peterhanks5765]

Nice

[@jovanventer1308]

Its nice to see but in southern Africa where I live people would kill just about everything in their nets,big,small light or heavy,one of my childhood fishing lakes have been almost cleared of all fish,It really is unfortunate.I have and still continue to pull out and burn nets.

[@chrishorning7853]

The proper term would be "cabin boy" for Jay.

[@kenzistoen6668]

The guy you are commercial fishing with......... 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 'stag on the line' channel?

[@nicholaseedy3244]

Can y'all add Daniel to the regular?

[@satanmitdengeilenbarthaaren]

Petri 😊

[@mayhem035]

❤🐟🤟👍👌

[@drewandcharlie7583]

I used to love the canadian angle! Jay up n disappeared! Guess he fancied himself a big hollywood filmmaker there for a spell. 😂 i thought he left the dregs of Hollywood for good

[@brianperiso674]

Not a fan of gill nets or commercial fishing period. I would vote against 8 days a week. I love the sport of fishing!

[@paulopimentel2523]

🇧🇷👍

[@wyattl2538]

Daniel Stagg should be on council.

[@ouissandy2806]

No sunglasses? bro thats tough @ I'd Go blind

[@staggontheline]

lmao bro... we did. suffered for 4 days after

[@SH-lb1nu]

Plenty of lakes here in Albert's with no fish left because of nettin

[@TheD510addict]

This is super cool but netters kill everything in the PNW rivers and get preferential treatment from the government on top of that. Gill nets are indiscriminate and decimate fisheries.

[@savageinstitute9569]

Commerical fishermen in Alaska talk good about you guys. This video does not do Canadian commercial fishing any justice. Good fun though.

[@mikeveine]

I don't get it. Netters are no friend of sport fishing or fisheries. They use gill nets to indiscriminately rape the waters until fisheries are wiped out, then they move on to pillage other areas. Pitiful show.

[@mitchrapp6963]

Shame on these people for market fishing walleye, but shame on you more. Would you be so excited covering them market hunting Moose in Suskatchawan?

[@Frost3D44]

you're comparing apples to oranges. how is that even remotely similar?

[@leondulak6652]

Shame to the ignorance of your comments.
