[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

[@wildgirlsalberta73]

What an awesome day man! Gets me hyped up for the river

[@ZachTheFisherman]

I am so stoked!!

[@albertafish5808]

Awesome video man!

[@leswhynin913]

I know this spot well... didnt know it was passable yet. Let me know if you want to head out sometime

[@ZachTheFisherman]

Barely passable but do able

[@TTangOutdoors]

Congrats on your sucker on jig!! They seem to be more aggressive in spring. Nice work that plastic is the juice!

[@Hookedupfishinggear]

When in doubt, get the plastics out lol. Nice video buddy!

[@ZachTheFisherman]

You got that right!

[@AnglingSpiders]

What a fantastic opener to some open water fishing Zach. Great multi-species day as well. Just wondering why you left the hook in the pike? Looks like you could have grabbed that one with your fingers, oe was there more in it's mouth?

[@ZachTheFisherman]

It was barbed and wouldn’t come out. So instead of prying just let it go.

[@ransleyschild1361]

I’m looking to go tomorrow I just don’t know where the parking is. Also does a curly hot pink jig work here?

[@ransleyschild1361]

Zach where did u park to get to this spot also do you think a bright pink curly tail jig will do the job down here love u dude!

[@ZachTheFisherman]

They should do the trick! And there is 2 parks on either side if you park on north shore you have to walk across bridge

[@keithmielke2204]

Hi Zack, wondering if that was a Quillback Carpsucker?

[@ZachTheFisherman]

Just a white sucker! Suckers aren’t actually in the carp family!

[@pocketaces8749]

Hey Zach, looking for a good spot around Edmonton, not in the city preferably but close by. Any recommendations for places with minimal snags?

[@ZachTheFisherman]

That’s unfortunately not going to happen the river is snag central and it’s always changing. That being said the head stand jigs help… and try going with a 3/8 oz jig and larger. The traditional jigs and smaller get stuck just because the current can take them and you’ll have less control with how you’re using your jig head leading to less strikes!

[@pocketaces8749]

@@ZachTheFisherman thanks for the point man! I just picked up some bigger jig heads at the Fishin Hole today.. gonna try them out this Sunday in the beautiful weather! 😍

[@ransleyschild1361]

Is this by The ainsworth bridge

[@maxbrand7381]

I'm gonna have to go check out hooked up fishing and tell em Zach sent me 😉

[@ZachTheFisherman]

You should! They got some great soft plastic baits & they’re super durable !

[@AllaroundNbackagain]

Where abouts is this at?

[@ZachTheFisherman]

Edmonton

[@RiverRidgeOutdoors]

Why did you release that fish with the hook still in its lower jaw ???

[@ZachTheFisherman]

Because instead the of ripping it’s face apart I figured it would be more ethical to leave it in. I had forgot my pliers with my ice gear and with barbs it would have caused more damage to the fish.

[@RiverRidgeOutdoors]

@@ZachTheFisherman . Pull it out the shaft and loop end ..... But I do get what you were trying to do yeah ....

[@ZachTheFisherman]

50cent hook… vs fiddling around keeping the fish out of the water. Idk what I thought was best in the moment!

[@TheErms12345]

I would have taken the hook up my buds. I never used barbed hooks anymore it causes to much damage to the fish if you don't keep them

[@ianbowie8121]

Why didn't you take the hook out of that pike ?!

[@ZachTheFisherman]

It wrapped itself in the rig that we were using. I must’ve just missed it, I didn’t notice until after I edited the video. I made a mistake.

[@ianbowie8121]

@ZachTheFisherman No worries I thought it was somebody else's hook that you couldn't get out

[@ianbowie8121]

@@ZachTheFisherman Beautiful pike !

[@themarshboss]

What month?

[@ZachTheFisherman]

April

[@infobaseworks2401]

6:05 did you guys release a fish with hooks and fishing line still attached to it?👎👎

[@ZachTheFisherman]

We didn’t realize at the time. I saw it while editing. Nothing I could do unfortunately more careful next time
