Perch and Pike on the Mississippi River Backwaters

This weather is unreal! We are out in the boat in the shallow backwaters of the Mississippi River where we should be ice fishing. The good news is that the fish were waiting for us.

Fun video to watch In January. Can someone tell me.. is that pool 4?

[@anthonyferguson8857]

Ok, the bloopers at the end are now mandatory!!

[@AnglerX]

We will keep showing the bloopers when they happen, and they will happen lol.

[@danward2490]

Every fisherman dreams of having what you have, a beautiful wife that loves to fish!! You are blessed!!!

[@woodsandwater123]

That girl has a wicked hookset.... Very impressive... Man perch are some fun in winter!

[@AnglerX]

lol! She does a great job

[@drdavewi]

Thanks Lance and Niki!

[@AnglerX]

Thank you for the comment!

[@gregoryhunts3006]

I'm anticipating freeze up. I really love ice fishing, I just don't go out on thin ice anymore. Maybe I should just go hit a few shore spots and see if I can pull out a fish fry or two.

[@AnglerX]

I think the weekend of January 13th there will be more ice fishing options around the upper Mississippi River.

[@ombrom.6040]

Are you all using ultra light rods for prech and crappie

[@AnglerX]

My rod is a 7' light action panfish rod and Niki is using a 6'9" medium light fast action rod both made by Radcliffe Custom Rods.

[@juliosdiy3206]

Pikes will certainly end my show.

[@AnglerX]

We love pike fishing! They are the apex predators of these waters.

[@JonGunnerOutdoors]

Fun video. Makes me jealous that my boat is in storage.

[@AnglerX]

Thank you! My boat is not going to storage. The vehicles will have to collect snow in the driveway, lol.

[@SquatchMan123]

Looks like a good day to be in the boat. We don’t say that at the end of December very often. Fishing is non existent in my area this time of the year for the most part. You do have a fine meal there.

[@AnglerX]

I'm enjoying the warmer winter but hope it's an anomaly and not a trend.

[@chucklutter7399]

Always enjoy your videos and usually take away a tip or 2. Appreciate all the releases! You show that great food is possible and protecting the resource at the same time, RESPECT YOU BOTH. With the incoming cold spell ice might be coming, stay topside. TIGHT LINES

[@AnglerX]

Thank you so much! I'm thinking the weekend of January 13 and 14 we'll be back on Mississippi River ice.

[@Rocket405.8]

Nice catch! Are pike as underutilized in your pools as they are in mine? I saw 1 pike caught last year down here and it's not because they aren't around. The boat takes its last voyage of the season next Monday. Saugeye time is near!

[@AnglerX]

I think the pike are a polarizing species. Some people love and target them, others would prefer they all disappear. I love fishing for pike! Especially big ones!

[@jimnummerdor9687]

Great video as always. Love the little blooper segment at the end!!

[@aaronekker3250]

No ice geting depresing

[@chucklutter7399]

I'm jonesing for ice too

[@aaronekker3250]

Went out in my boat today all i found was 2 inches of honeycomb ice

[@teamextremefishing]

"Did you put the plug in?" Had to laugh, I get my wife with that one too! Great video

[@AnglerX]

A very important detail!

[@jdebell7068]

If only everyone would release all pike over 30 .needs to be more laws.also only took a second to figure out where this is.hope others dont.

[@AnglerX]

Absolutely!

[@markszablewski6619]

Such a calm area, no train whistles?..

[@AnglerX]

It was amazingly calm...you don't see that very often.

[@justinmckinney4650]

What model boat is that

[@AnglerX]

Lund 1625 Fury XL

[@mr.manpoop6741]
