Nice vid! Getting on a simcoe school is always fun. Looking forward to more.

[@wilfshipman3146]

That was some nice footage

[@backyardshenanigans4100]

I was thinking I hope he picked up that cup. But then he did. Great video

[@isaacsiemers3412]

That is a nice fish.

[@tylerellis1254]

Wicked video. Great job. Love the respect for the bigger fish and releasing them.

[@TeamColdfront]

Thank you!!

[@truenorthangler]

Party is over at Simcoe until next year. Hello Mitch, great underwater footage.

[@TeamColdfront]

👋🏻

[@walleyperch]

Patiently waiting for ice fishing. Fish the east side if the lake using jigging raps - I replace the treble with a stronger eagle claw and bait it with a small red grub - the perch love it. I got some pro-cure ice hole perch gel to sweeten it up. Good luck this winter...

[@chrischarlebois2631]

This is amazing I’ve been a couple times and never once seen a jumbo perch my biggest is around 8 inches. My son is starting to love it as much as I do. He’s 6 now maybe this will be the year we finally get a jumbo perch.

[@TeamColdfront]

We wish you all the luck in the world!

[@chickenpoxGC2010]

Loved the sonar footage

[@ActuallyAndrewFishing]

Awesome vid! What underwater cam were you using? I was on Simcoe today, and had a fun time fighting jumbos! Dropped you a 👍and subbed.

[@TeamColdfront]

We use the Marcum LX-9 underwater camera. Awesome, we love the jumbos!

[@rdo6566]

Nice job! LOVE the underwater footage!

[@carlosmoreira7692]

Hi There, are you steel fishing? I am just a bigginer, I would like to get some tips... 4 (perch) (whote fish)

[@Kayhaw40]

Great video

[@TeamColdfront]

Thank you!

[@elanrider]

More underwater footage! Please) Cool video!

[@laughingloonfishing4838]

Well done. You guys certainly found some nice yello bellies.

[@TeamColdfront]

It was hard holding up and waiting for the schools!

[@billwilliamson9842]

everyone of those fish was bigger then my biggest yellow perch lol Biggest yellow perch I ever saw caught was in a pond on long island ny, had to be at least every bit of 3 lbs and oddly enough it was the only yellow perch I ever saw caught out of that pond. Believe it or not, those ponds on long island had some of the biggest brim, bass and pickeral I have ever seen, no one fished for them and no one ever removed them to eat if they did. secret panfish paradise.

[@chrislaprise398]

Congrats you figured out how to get the camera working.

[@TeamColdfront]

Shout out us eh

[@jesseeddy9191]

I do a lot of lake Erie and get jumbos like that every trip and it saves me a big drive

[@kenlomasney9292]

Where you put in at?

[@tymorrison8499]

New subscriber. Number 666... that doesn't seem to bode well, but really loving the ice fishing content guys. If you ever wanna hit some MN hardwater, hit a brother up!

[@TeamColdfront]

We appreciate it! Thank you!

[@reelcanadianlunkerhunter7574]

Well done gents... Did you guys pick up a Rapala sponsorship?

[@TeamColdfront]

Thank you! Mitch has been with Rapala for a couple years now :)

[@travisfuller7405]

When drilling a hole in your hut put auger in reverse ans it pushes the slush back down the hole

[@kengord168]

Nice video! How far did you place the camera from your lure? Same hole? few feet over?

[@TeamColdfront]

Thank you! About a couple meters away from our lures.

[@polarisoutdoors3105]

Great video. When you guys go out are you dropping the camera looking for structure, transitions or weeds on the flats for perch?

[@TeamColdfront]

Thank you! Not really. We generally know where to look for perch. The camera is just fun to see how they react and get footage for the viewers.

[@scottbangart3192]

Ya you catch them and throw back I'd be taking them home for lunch

[@TeamColdfront]

We keep our fair share once and a while. But we live far away and not always convenient to keep!

[@salgalluzzo1984]

What model camera do you use to film underwater??

[@TeamColdfront]

We use the Marcum LX9 underwater cam

[@elennabaron1465]

Golden fish

[@wcleafs]

where about is this? looks like its just off the shore of thorah island?

[@TeamColdfront]

No sir, but there can be good times had around Thorah sometimes!

[@freedomunrestricted]

What depth do you usually start looking for them at when they start moving into pre spawn?

[@TeamColdfront]

Typically, you can find jumbos at a big range of depths (7-45 FOW) in January and early February. Around late February and March is when we usually stay shallow on flats and rock piles.

[@freedomunrestricted]

Thanks for the info, local reservoir I've been fishing I have had good luck between 25-40 fow so far. But relativley new to perch fishing. Will start looking to move shallow at the end of february.

[@bankerliu1366]

how far was the camera set from the bait?

[@TeamColdfront]

Roughly 5 feet

[@rickeyd5520]

Why would you risk your life on a frozen lake and not keep any that's crazy

[@TeamColdfront]

I feel more safe on a foot of ice than driving on the roads everyday. These big mommas need to spawn! We still keep some smaller ones the odd time but love catching them.

[@jeffreystieve3558]

releasing them? They are the best eating.

[@TeamColdfront]

Perch are definitely one of our faves! But not all the time do we feel the need to keep for a meal.

[@danielgodfrey3583]

LITTERBUG

[@TeamColdfront]

LOL, watch the rest as I pick it up and never litter on purpose. We always keep our waters clean. No respect for people who litter on purpose...

[@plastamasta5096]

Sonar bonar

[@emileebalzer8225]

“You wanna keep some? Nah, I don’t wanna fillet anything tonite” .... WTF?

[@TeamColdfront]

3 hour drive home makes me sleepy lol

[@biol0gical718]

Innisfil?

[@TeamColdfront]

Nope, opposite end of the lake!

[@chrislaprise398]

Get the camera down.

[@elennabaron1465]

Salam allah

[@klattrap]

10:06

[@davenelson9253]

Why in the hell go fishing if your not going to keep them ?

[@TeamColdfront]

Sometimes we do, sometimes we dont. Can still have fun without keeping any. On top of all that, we live far away and dont always feel like cleaning fish after a long drive back home.

[@robchapman3681]

Keeping fish that big can really hurt the populations. They are practicing great conservation of the fishery. No need to keep any perch over 10" they produce a lot of eggs.Keep up the great work guys!!!

[@TeamColdfront]

@@robchapman3681 Well said Rob, C&R is where its at!

[@randybiceman]

Right off the bat you start your video by throwing trash on the lake. Doesn't say much for you or your character.

[@TeamColdfront]

Watch a few seconds later as it was clearly a joke and I pick it up on camera. We always clean up our trash and any other trash we see from other people. We keep the waters that we fish clean!

[@robchapman3681]

wow man just wow🤦‍♂️ ^^^^^^ troll^^^^^^^^^

[@travissmith4102]

They picked the trash up but the amount of time they take for video and pics is ridiculous. If you're going to release a fish just release it.
