South Dakota Darkhouse Spearing I Big Pike I

One day of dark house spearing in South Dakota, January 2022

[@thesteelheadmaniac2045]

yeah cameras on the spear is a bad idea, unless your spearing like 4ft of water lol.

[@davthedvdman]

Agreed

[@samuelspaulding7172]

You can definitely feed heitzman with that big pike! Awesome video,

[@hillyclimber]

Loved the drone and go pro footage. Awesome spearing angle,

[@jordanbaker3087]

Keep crushin’ em boys!!!

[@bradyschneck1994]

Heitzman is salivating

[@lukebouwman6843]

You should get a gaf too to hook the pike under the jaw before they come off.

[@davthedvdman]

nice video

[@SpearingPike]

Get ya a Belle River Spear! They hold fish incredibly well.

[@roberttaylor8261]

Get yourself a Tactacam I-Fish put a weaver mount on shaft an a scope mount that fits the diameter of the round Tactacam I-Fish! I have used them for 4 yrs an works awesome! It’s a lot smaller but has as good or better video than GoPro I have both!

[@nickbaloo2167]

Dam nice fish btw

[@NBO41624]

One piece of advice is when you spear the pike, let the spear pin them to the ground and just let them sit for a bit. They will try to breathe and will actually suck up sand in their gills causing them to suffocate and kinda die down a bit. You won’t lose as many fish that way 👍

Good vid

[@highplainshunting3002]

Thanks!

[@shawnrieschl1567]

The fish you hit with two tines in the skull that then somehow got off is just bizzare. Never seen anything like that in 50 years. However: Is it a SoDak thing to spear one, then just let it sit for a while? I was raised to ALWAYS keep the rope tight. Hit the fish, pull in the slack, pull up the fish. 1-2-3. Not judging, just curious. I haven't speared for quite a while, so I rely on videos like yours to keep me in the loop. Thanks! And keep 'em coming!

[@erikhillenbrand1997]

How big was that big one?

[@highplainshunting3002]

36”

[@mattrocks101]

Love the videos but this is getting out of hand. Idk how many times I gotta ask for some meat before I get fed. I will stop being polite if I continued to be ignored #iamhungry

[@toddlarson883]

Ditch camera on spear before fish and game starts fining cruelty to game. You made the right decision

[@davidmerfeld9917]

Go Pro footage does nothing for me. Suspend that Go Pro under the ice somehow I love seeing the approach

[@UpNorthOutdoors231]

Your spear is dishing from your go pro.

[@thesteelheadmaniac2045]

what was the length on that pike at 8:42?

[@highplainshunting3002]

That one was around 36 inches

[@liamwalters5029]

Do you eat them ?

[@highplainshunting3002]

Yes, Northern are great eating. We fry some and pickle some.

[@isaiahpeterson7032]

Why doesn't South Dakota have more lakes open to spearing

[@highplainshunting3002]

It depends on where a guy goes. There are a lot of lakes closed due to Muskie spawning efforts in fisheries.

[@isaiahpeterson7032]

@@highplainshunting3002 we have muskies here too and most of ours are open to spearing

[@nickbaloo2167]

No measurements, no weights, no footage after the big ones get drug out of the whole.....c’’mon man!!!

[@highplainshunting3002]

Haha yeah kind of forgot to include that, he wasn’t as huge as I thought, I’d say roughly 36”
