WINTER Mountain Lake Ice Fishing (Catch & Cook Yellow Perch)

[@peterschryver]

A trick we use here in the east, pop an eye out with your thumb nail and use it for bait on your jig! Can catch a dozen or more on one eye. The scent of it really makes them bite aggressively. Glad to see you getting into ice fishing. It is a great way to extend your outdoor season!

[@moxncal]

Don't you need two eyes to see? 😂

[@owenimhoff5854]

Another quality video. You never dissapoint me with any of your videos because you always can keep me in the video by the knowledge you speak. Thanks for the content and please keep up with the videos !!

[@coloradocatchcleanandcook3426]

No clue how I missed this video but now I'm kind of glad I did because it gives me something new to watch.

[@michaeleveleth7979]

Never have tried perch cooked this way, It's on my list now! Thanks. Heard that crawdad is good that way as well.

[@pdsCV]

As a child, when I would visit eastern WA before going to school there, my uncles and grandfather would take us out fishing. While we would go to trout lakes, etc, we would also chase yellow perch. Good memories.

[@thejoyjordon.77]

You have the absolute best scenery.

[@kantill]

I'll give you three tips that have taken me from an ok ice fisherman to a pretty good one, no one is great😂. First and very cheap. Add a spring bobber to your rod. It will help you see those very light bites. Second is some type of bathymetric map of the lake you're fishing. You'll be able to know where the drop-offs and flats are. And last yes a fish finder. A lot of times you could see fish in a different part of the water column. You can get a garmin striker 4 ice fishing bundle pretty cheap. And then you can use it for summer fishing by swapping out the transducer.

[@doublelunger1978]

Big fan since less than a thousand subs here. Cool video and really nice job on the intro. I think it's often customary to leave a marker at holes so no one walks into it. Hope you don't mind me pointing it out. Keep up the good work

[@pnw_element9822]

Just beautiful bro Sam stay having fun outdoors

[@jamesmikkelson7636]

I like the fact that you talk about getting skunked because it's happened to me a few times this winter in the Okanogan area. It's comforting to know that it even happens to the professor of fishing! And the content and quality of your videos is the best I have seen. Those great drone shots of the mountains captures exactly what I love about winter ice fishing. By the way, after watching the video I went out and caught a mess of perch--all quite small--and fried them up in chili and garlic infused oil until they were crisp. The head IS the best part, but I found it challenging to get the spine bones cooked enough for crisp eating.

[@fullbloodedamerican1366]

Them boys are loud! 😆 Sounds like when I'm out fishing with all my buddies!! Good times.! I injoy your vids.👍 keep it up! Been following now 3+ yrs

[@elbrus65]

Samong brother, been binge-watching your content with gusto these past 2-3 weeks, love it , enjoy your cinematography style. First found your channel through an ice fishing video you posted on lake whitefish at the Banks. I icefish that water and that specie whenever Banks Lake ices over. Would love to share tips with you on how to catch that plentyful fish with generous limit of 15 a day. Would be nice one of these days to run into you on the ice. Be safe and Gods blessings brother.

[@betzaidavazquez5579]

Great video Sam !! Thanks for taking us along that beautiful aerial ride. Cool tent and fun fishing, Glad you got rid of the skunk and enjoyed what looked like a delicious meal. That sauce looked really good, looking forward to seeing more fishing, its a nice treat. 😊🎣🙏👊

[@apoutdoorsPNW]

Love the video's. Every time I watch it makes me a better outdoorsman or cook. :p

[@abovethesurfaceoutdoors]

Awesome video Samong! This is such a great video! Hope you've been doing well and staying safe!!💯

[@vangfamily]

Oh yes, that looked great! It’s like the Lao style deep fried fish. Great video!!

[@CrackingOutdoors]

I was on a dry streak to, but got some great content worked in! I’m glad you did aswell!

[@MinglewoodSlim]

Maybe someone already recommended but here in the Midwest we use ice fishing bobbers for panfish helps a lot distinguishing real hits from just nudges!

[@tazeat]

I'll be at Curlew next week, I love the ice. Find the fish before your shelter, too many guys set up their shelter then they wont ever move after which is just setting up for failure when you're not on the fish

[@anonymouse7074]

Good to see you've got a truck, that tailgate being useful

[@jah6534]

see you at the show, Samong.

[@thefishinglor6931]

Nice work bro! Them perch are so underrated when it comes to eating. Perch and bluegills were little pests when I first started fishing but when I started cleaning and eating my own fish, they were quickly my favorite tasting comparably with striper and the typical flaky white meat fish

[@thao078]

Surprised you've never had it like that before. That's how I've always had it growing up. No waste of the fish beside the internal organs. We even deep fry the eggs. If the fish was big enough, we'd cook and eat the livers too. Try going with a softer tip rod and lighter ice lines. Preferably 2lbs because you can really feel and see the sensitivity bite. Good luck!

[@upearlyoutdoors3233]

Looks like you prefer nice equipment for your hobbies. You need a Garmin Livescope Ice Bundle, Big Buddy Heater, and Milwaukee M18 Drill paired to a Pistol Auger for ice fishing. Will make it more enjoyable.

[@everlastinglory9419]

Appreciated the video Samong 👌...be well 👍

[@yoteduster9534]

Bro I’m gonna do that now and out the whole crunchy perch’s on tacos!! With that salsa and avocado with a little spicy sauce! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@DStupak1]

Hey man, buy yourself, a gas, Lanter… it gives off nice heat in the tent and it’s bright where you can see your gear and everything really well. Tight lines.

[@epicdream3r992]

What you accidentally discovered was the act of Double Frying which is the technique that gives chip truck french fries and Korean fried chicken it's extra crispy texture. Don't throw away the egg next time, you can flour coat them and fry them as well. Most ppl think the eggs/roe is the best part. Give it a try next time!

[@martinquintana5837]

Awesome video Samong you made me hungry for deep fried fish. So went to the lake and caught some 6" white bass and made a similar dipping sauce. Perfect meal. Stay safe out there and have a blessed day. Aloha from Kansas

[@cmxvirunit9468]

Blue gills deep fried whole til crispy and then add laab powder!!

[@JohnDoe-qm8nt]

Drilling random holes is how you catch something.

[@BeeChan_]

😂

[@coreyhallman3134]

Yep it attracts a lot of fish

[@fullbloodedamerican1366]

Yeah! Sometimes more then what you want!...🤐

[@CascadeBackcountry]

Hahaha!

[@cmxvirunit9468]

Amen

[@bluegillbum3165]

Your intro was fantastic 🙂

[@abrahamapilado6169]

Awesome video Bruddah. next time you fry “whole” fish. Cut two or three deep slices all the way to the bone from top to bottom. It helps to cook the fish to the bone a lot more easy and the fish does not curl like that one did. And fry the heck out of that thing! To get a really crazy crunch dust the fish with corn starch before frying. Keep up the good work! Hit me up if you ever on Kauai. I’ll bring you fishing. Aloha Bruddah 🤙🏽

[@baitnbullets]

Omg.....eating a fish head! I need to try it. Lol. Thanks for your video.

[@tazeat]

I'll have to try cooking them that way, I've always pulled the skin off after cutting down the spine and behind the gill plate (which is easier than it sounds), then you just cut off the fillets from the spine down goes very fast if you've done a few.

[@timberg7377]

I've never had perch that way, but I've done smelt that way.. So good

[@slideuride]

Finally beat the skunk! That’s awesome

[@tp-mh2ji]

U do great 🎣 and hunting videos... Thanks 👍

[@socalbass758]

Awesome Vid! All your missing is steam rice!

[@gettosurfer]

I use an app called Navionics. Has all the lakes rivers and near shore ocean all in one. The bomb for ice fishing. Saves drilling a ton of holes. So much of successful ice fishing is being on the X. Keep at it.

[@laujjohnny7401]

Making me hungry bro! I tried that with white bass here in wisconsin and I gotta agree with you and Dyang....the head is the best part.🤣🤣🤣

[@sherlee9668]

I've never had perch but we do the same with trout. Deep dry em til they get crispy and eat em with rice in water.

[@michigantroutaddict4910]

A much lighter rod or attaching a spring bobber to the end of your rod will really help you detect those light bites. Those rods you’re using look pretty stiff for perch fishing.

[@anthonyhoofatt7253]

That type of cooking might work with crappies guess I’ll try it ( if I can get out) lol great video!

[@crimsonsapper9837]

Another Awesome Video. Have you tried Bait Buttons? They go on the Hook and hold the Bait. Works with plastics for Trout and bass to.

[@aaakeedub118]

Keep up the awesome vids!

[@ryancavanaugh4479]

Heads are the best!

[@inspirednorthwest]

Same, I am on a dry spell for the last 4 trips steelhead fishing....Hopefully, it breaks soon for me :)

[@thejoyjordon.77]

Drop some merch, I’d wear a hoodie with your logo. I love it! SY

[@danbotica]

You threw away the eggs! I can't believe it :)))

[@russellhiggins1300]

Spring bobber is what you need

[@nlvoutdoors5626]

Great video !! You will enjoy ice fishing more with using electronic.

[@nevrbluffs]

Well you taught this old dog a new way to eat perch. Wonder if you have rainbow smelt in your area? We used to dip net them here in western ny and cook them very similar to how you did the perch. They are delicious, like eating french fries. Great video.

[@russellhiggins1300]

Been waiting for some ice videos should come out to Curlew with my buddies and I catch some jumbos

[@ballistic350]

Come to wi and mn for slabs...I wouldn't ice fish without a flasher lol props to u

[@uncledavesbigadventures9174]

Try the smallest cast master and do the maggots

[@nickbasher4232]

Hey Samong love your videos. Have learned so much. Especially fishing stuff. Would love to send you a couple things in the next few months if you wouldn't mind

[@IP.NWAdventuresOutdoors]

Good video, my friend. Trying to figure out where you were....I think I know but am unsure. Oh well.

[@qiOutdoors]

[@DYangBass]

[@pappaspoko]

Hey man, I'm a DP local. Love to go out fishing with you sometime! I'm all over the areas you go to. Some are even on my channel. Surprised we've never ran into each other! Love your fishing videos!

[@ipwnu11b]

Hyped!!!

[@Koobmeej_Vang]

Love fried fish like that but man perch just has way too many bones for my liking. But those size it’s not bad to just eat it with the bones

[@skyking9008]

U just need a lighter tip rode.. to see those small bits. I do alot of ice fishing too

[@rikan77]

Why didn't you fillet those perch

[@rikan77]

Oops didn't see the whole video my mistake

[@russellhiggins1300]

What lake were you fishing

[@russellhiggins1300]

Nevermind I know what lake lol

[@christhomas5937]

@Russell Higgins I know exactly what lake. Been there many times. It's called Nunya Lake, down by No Name Mountain.

[@russellhiggins1300]

@@christhomas5937 it's called mind your business nobody asked you a thing

[@rogerschrotenboer2166]

I found the opposite to be true with ice rods the more stiff your rod is the easier it is to fill the bite you won’t see it but you will feel it if you have a noodle rod it’s a site rod you visually see it but you won’t feel the bite I don’t like that visual stuff I like to feel

[@josephsaeteurn9158]

really? u never fried a whole fish? its very common . only on small fish though..

[@jtwhyy6923]

Come on man you should know better than that deep fried fish til crunchy/almost burnt is good with the pepper. Just need to add sticky rice ! I’ll be here for every video tho just giving you a kick in the ass. Try fish fried laap.

[@nate_ng1]

i can never ice fish i am sensitive to the cold

[@ataglance556]

Samong kill the fishes after you catch them if your going to eat it so they don't suffer anymore than they have to, and nice vid bud.

[@backtonatureitis]

You lost me when you throw away the perch egs

[@jeffreylor4383]

Great video like always n see 2 to great youtubers influence each other. 👍

[@hunterfishman7119]

WAYYYY TOO COMPLICATED CHAIR & THAT ICE SHANTY CLAIMS 2-3 PERSON. THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL 3 PEOPLE COULD FISH IN THAT!!!

[@carolinareaper5011]

Need to cook at higher heat....
