It’s nice being able to have four lines when laying out a spread of tipups but if the fish are biting at all it gets tough dealing with more than a couple.

Great ice opener Matt. Like a good crappie, perch and panfish bite. Like that you also show its okay to use the old In-Fisherman selective harvest. I remember the push of that concept and the Linderers and the crew did a nice job of explaining the conservation upside. And fish taste good. Blessings brother

[@triquetratat777]

Thank you for making some ice fishing videos - please make more.

[@kissamakis]

Interesting to see how ice fishing is done in the US/Canada, and I wonder how much of the differences are because of different target fish (no crappies here). Never seen a tent or a radar on the ice here in southern Finland, but maybe the serious fishermen don't fish on the small lakes I fish either.

[@Fluidz]

vexilars are very common out here just because it gives you a good advantage being able to move to a new spot if you know theres not fish there. Tents are insulated and help with the wind, and allow you to put a propane heater down to keep you warm

[@loboyd691]

Yeah, we have tents or pop-up shacks because it gets cold here in North Dakota but when we fish, ice or open water, we like simple sonar to see if there is fish down there but I am not a fan of the livescope panoptix when you can literally see the fishes every move. Part of the fun of fishing is the drama of not knowing if you are gonna catch them. Stay safe on the ice man!

[@kissamakis]

@@loboyd691 How cold? -10C (14F) is not a problem, but at -20C (-4F) I'd stay at home. One big reason I like ice fishing is that I'm not tempted to pull out a phone, since I'd just freeze my fingers :)

[@philipcallicoat3147]

In the lakes and rivers in Scandinavia the fish are also the same as the northern fresh water lakes and rivers. Pike and perch... I have fished the Swedish fresñ water and the lakes in Minnesota and was amazed that the same kind of fish are also present!!! Small world...

[@stevenkimbrell8796]

Well I have never been ice fishing I've never never tried it I'd like to try it it looks like he'd be fun but down here in in the South regions it don't get as cold as it does up in the northern regions so go out and do any ice fishing down here you'd fall through the ice so it's not it's not like 8 inches or a foot thick when it freezes over down here it might be 2 in and that's not enough to hold the weight of the gear let alone a person what is the interesting interesting video very interesting well then some nice slabs so enjoy the enjoy the the meal and I'll enjoy the video and look for the next one have a good one

[@ndyakangler]

There were a few people that actually drove their trucks out there on this trip. I didn’t show it in the vid because I didn’t want to give anyone the idea it’s safe to drive out there. We had about 8-9” of ice, not quite enough for me to feel comfortable driving my truck on.

[@furballami5842]

For the people that have no concept of ice fishing like me , could you explain your setup and gear. How do you have your electronic and a heater going? Do you clear your spots of snow. How does the ice not break up with you on it? Why did you put snow around your tent. A tutorial would be very informative. I watch you all the time in the summer, and me n the wife love the videos. But in Las Vegas, we get no ice.

I’m not a big fan of the cold either. It’s not too bad once I get the shack up and the heat going, at least then it’s one less problem trying to keep a camera running with frozen batteries!

During the winter you're not kayaking... However, during the summer days when you're on the river in your kayak and you can hear banjo's playing from the woods..... It's time to pick up the pace!!!😟

i limit out on crappie a few days ago. none of them were as big as yours. congrats!

[@joshuaflores3647]

I live in California and I catch huge Crappie on 65mm walking baits, as well as the Super Spook Jr., and Lucky Craft 110mm Jerkbaits. My friends use Crappie jigs on 4# and have had great nights, but I can't put down the bass gear. Even a Whopper Plopper 90 works. My biggest is 1.9, but that's the common weight for me.

[@fishinutah3394]

Fun video! Lookup "barotrauma". You were fishing in pretty deep water and likely all of your released fish dyed as a result of barotrauma because they were pulled from such deep water, typically over 28'. Studies show that even if the fish swims off lively, it has a high risk of dying later from the damage.

[@adamhomb6012]

In 35 ft of water, you either keep everything you catch or take longer bringing them up. Nice crappies. Hopefully we are on ice this coming weekend in south central Wisconsin.

What’s the purpose of the foam slip bobber? I’ve never used one but only done this a few times.

I didn’t really need the bobber during the frenzy but when it’s slower out I’ll use it to keep my bait hanging a set distance above the bottom.

[@OntarioBirding7538]

[@TB-lv2rh]

I hope that ice is thicker than it looks! The crappie that was floating under the ice looked very close to the surface but I'm sure it's all good or else he wouldn't be out there.

[@ndyakangler]

There was about 8-9”. There were a couple guys that drove their trucks out to their spots while I was fishing. Not too smart but I didn’t see either of them break through.

[@TB-lv2rh]

Yea, that's a ton of ice! In Ohio, my father will go out on 3" & his buddies will even do 2.5" which I hope he never does! Unfortunately, here in Richmond VA we do not have ice so it's never an option. Thanks again for the great videos.

[@jorgemasapanta1974]

Hot chocolate and relax Sunday night watching you catch fish!

[@brianm4709]

That fish that did not take off - barotrauma. Gets likely over 30 ft in depth.

[@ndyakangler]

It did swim off eventually. There were a couple others that swam back down no problem but when I fish that deep I plan on keeping anything of decent size.

[@panfishfanatic1055]

@@ndyakangler no any fragile fish like perch, walleye, and especially crappie MUST be kept in over 25 FOW. I normally love your videos and this one was great to see good size crappie but it bothered me that you were releasing them. ANY fish pulled from greater than 25 feet of water will have barotrauma. Seen it way too many times. If you look back at 17:48 in your video, you can see a dead crappie/barely alive crappie under the ice on its side when you go to pick up another one out of the hole. If you would like to release fish in the future, please stay 20 feet and shallower so the fish have a chance!

[@rolandgdean]

Would have been nice to see this yesterday KZbin! I hate knowing that YT doesn't alert ALL subscribers as soon as content becomes available. I put out content as well (not NEAR as nice as this) and the fact that the algorithm does that to creators is diabolical. They already have ALL the power in the relationship...grrr. ANYWAY, I know this isn't your favorite way to fish Matt (freezing your junk off on a frozen lake) so I'm glad you got some beautiful crappie and some great footage, especially the underwater stuff...that's always SO cool to see where they live because it helps to understand how to find them...and I bet sunset on a frozen lake looks cool if you can see it. That shot of Jacob in his shelter was great...just happy as a lark doing what he loves, same as you...just brilliant. I don't know the first thing about ice fishing and I have SO many questions. One is that I get why the poles are short but, why are they so small in diameter and flexible?
