FIRST ICE 🇺🇸 Shallow Water Fishing (Hand-to-Hand Combat)

[@norderntackle]

That yearly reminder, no ice is safe ice. Especially early ice. If you really want to risk it for some dinks, make sure you got picks and rope. Look forward to seeing all your pictures of pickups going through this coming week!

[@NickLindner]

100%

[@JackJames-yp6fu]

😂

[@craigwavra3495]

Have to appreciate these days as any other!! Pickled pike anyone??

[@NickLindner]

Walleye are the target, but pike are good fun too

[@kevinteal247]

Any first Ice content is great. Thanks !!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks for watching kevin

[@Scott___T]

That's real fishing; not just the best day. Appreciate your real videos. They're not all going to be hit out of the park. It's going to be a great season!

[@NickLindner]

Agreed. Finally a great ice season to enjoy

[@5199John]

Good video, Nick. These days are more like we all have than not, so yes, post 'em all! Thanks.

[@NickLindner]

You nailed it

[@hmongvaj98]

Nice Video Nick. Appreciate the honesty. Not going to smash every time on the water. Thats why when there is a smashfest and nothing can go wrong, those are the blessed days. Thanks for keepimg it real.

[@NickLindner]

100%. Thanks for watching man

You do not disappoint Nick. Love your Raw content. Love the authenticity. And yes, that Walleye hurt but that's the game and you know it!! Cheers from the Ottawa Valley!

[@NickLindner]

It hurt, but I’m ready for the next one!

[@ricksmoove123]

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Rick! Appreciate that

[@jonpeterson5749]

Glad you shared it with us it's good to see that everyone has days like this. Thanks again.

[@NickLindner]

Not a killer day, but still nice to stick a few fish on skinnier ice

[@MontanaWalleyeAngler]

Absolutely post it dude! So glad to see the grind sometimes! Keeps it real for those of us who have days like this too! Heartbreaking to lose a big fish at the hole! I’m sure it’s not your first nor will be your last!

[@NickLindner]

That’s just the name of the game. All you can do is lock in and catch the next one!

[@robgrubb420]

wooooohoooooooo LOVE these nick killing it this season!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Rob. Hopefully more to come soon

[@NickLindner]

Thanks for following along. Really appreciated

[@BindeeVangFishing]

great video nick

[@NickLindner]

Thanks bud!

[@dogtoots8923]

Scared my dog, sitting beside me, when you lost that fish and I yelled “NOOOOOOOO !!!!!!” I swear, watching ice fishing videos when I can’t get out cause I’m too busy. It’s like a sober alcoholic, watching people drink lol I don’t drink.

[@NickLindner]

Hahaha, extend my apologies to your dog!

[@davidmartinez9993]

I feel like the mark of really great fishermen is how they handle losing a big fish. You handled it with grace man. Seasons just getting started! I lost about a 26 to 28 inch cutbow my second trip out. It hurts 😅

[@NickLindner]

Thanks David. I’ll get the next one haha

[@codyarthur7374]

I just went ice fishing for my first time ever, we live southern utah so we went and caught some rainbows and brookies. It was such a fun time.

[@NickLindner]

Nice Cody! That’s such a neat area for trout.

[@codyarthur7374]

@NickLindner it sure is man, it was so much fun! Come see us in moab some time, we've got decent fishin here.

[@coyakbrian3411]

Must feel good to get out. Video is still worth posting. Thanks for sharing

[@NickLindner]

100%. It’s great getting out and scratching the itch

Haha I’ll get the next one!

[@devonjames9584]

That walleye wanted to take a run should of let it an put your rod tip down in the water to prevent your line from rubbing on the ice lil tip for everyone for early ice! Keep the videos coming man! Love um!

[@NickLindner]

👍

[@fishingwithchet6835]

Looks like a good time im hoping to be on some hardwater Sunday

[@NickLindner]

Best of luck! 🤞

[@curtissears8878]

Good job Nick, wish I was fishing with ya. Still hoping I can get the boat out and head for the St. Lawrence this weekend👍

[@NickLindner]

[@JDPMN1]

[@evanmalison4489]

Love it!❤️🎣

[@NickLindner]

Thanks for watching Evan!

[@evanmalison4489]

I never miss one!👊

[@kenanderson5877]

Your work ethic is great, try cut level 1 gloves when your by yourself, you can grab em by the lip if there mouth is open!

[@NickLindner]

Nice! Appreciate it

[@Buy_MadeinUS]

I like the drama loosing that walleye Nick! That happens, you cant land them all.

[@NickLindner]

Indeed. You can’t catch em all

[@ChristinaLemke]

That's fishing!

[@NickLindner]

It’s so much fun though

[@ChristinaLemke]

@NickLindner absolutely 💯

[@ChristinaLemke]

@NickLindner Happy Thanksgiving! My plan for 1st ice is coming soon! DL area 1st weekend of Dec I'm ready 💪

[@onthefish3984]

We are so far behind in the northeast I almost think its going to be a repeat of last year. No ice 😢

[@NickLindner]

Oh no. Man, I hope that’s not true

[@patrickethier6190]

You're right Nick, that's why they call it fishing because you can't slam them all the time... Take the good with the bad and a lot of times there's more bad😅

[@NickLindner]

Haha ice fishing isn’t always a slam dunk!

[@ricktaylor3196]

Ice!! Yea!! Is that livescope your using? Great video.

[@NickLindner]

Yup! The LVS34

[@jefflien2599]

[@NickLindner]

It was 4-5 on that day

[@blueaggie64]

The line is fine , but the pike definitely got nicked! 😂

[@NickLindner]

Got em! 😆

[@blueaggie64]

@NickLindner happy Thanksgiving, Nick . I've been pounding Lakers, steelhead, and walleye in the lower Niagara gorge from shore lately. Love this time of year.

[@Kaizen_101]

[@RoadLifePursuits]

What state could possibly have 4-5 inches already? What state are you in? OR is this Canada....

[@SeanHarris-df9lv]

How many inches of ice?

[@NickLindner]

4-5 inches in this video

[@Fishfreak59]

Hey Nick it is what is. It’s called fishing not catching 😂. Two pike and a lost walleye better than nothing. Wish I was out there. Good job

[@NickLindner]

It definitely could have been a lot worse! I’ll take any action I can get on early ice
