Would love to win that Flex heater / cooker on the 24th! That's my birthday too!

[@joegallagher4933]

Unreal

[@trevoryoung1606]

When Sam went on about the Pasta salad, you could tell Jay was very confused for the first 2.5 seconds...😂

[@JaySiemens]

You never know with her

[@richardvalenzuela9317]

I'm new to ice, you make it clean and fun thanks, keep it up...

[@johnzach8528]

"In the slush, it swivels like an office chair" Love it! Sam's quirky sense of humour just brightens up the videos so much. You guys are great.

[@JaySiemens]

Love when she comes out!

[@cfishernb]

Might be first time comment from me. You've grown to be one of my favorite youtubers. You put out quality videos a lot more often than many other youtubers. Appreciate a lot. Not usually much ice here in southwest Pennsylvania so I'm living through you. Keep catching man.

[@johnnywhite1681]

It's so wonderful, you two can share this time together! I hope the memories bring you lots of heart warming smiles throughout the years.

[@JaySiemens]

Thank you so much!

[@jeffhagen7620]

Hello there from Wisconsin Jay and Sam!!! You two are truly one of the best teams in making fishing vids. Don't feel bad that you guys don't always have the how to's and lessons as part if the videos. Its nice to see you guys just simply have a good time too!!! Stay safe and keep up the good work you two!!!

[@joshbraun3743]

Best jay seimens video i have seen in a long time. Nice to see a big fish come up the hole on one of his videos.

[@Tyler_County_King90]

Thank you Jay and Sam for being a true inspiration for every one to get out and explore your backyard. Especially during these troubling times. My fiancé and I have decided to put the renos on hold, and get out to adventure on the hard water more. Thank you.

[@JaySiemens]

Thats awesome! Sam and I had the same thought process.

[@Xy11212]

Man you and Clayton with your walleye and trout mix Bach that’s so cool!!

[@haylietysdal3982]

you know I'm a huge fan when I wake up in the morning and I instantly watch his videos! absolutely love them! Everything he teaches and does makes me a better ice fisher.

[@JaySiemens]

Great to hear!

[@robertsfamilyoutdoors643]

Introduced my 8 and 10 year old sons to your channel this year and they're obsessed. They're supposed to wait so we can watch your new vids together but they keep cheating and watching without me. And they keep begging me to take them out on the ice again every time they watch. Thanks for the effort to make such great content! Our family is enjoying.

[@JaySiemens]

I love that! Thanks so much!!

[@ibanezman34]

Fantastic videos! You have inspired me to get more serious about ice fishing, my son and I are planning our first ice camping trip this month! Thanks for all the great tips and fun videos!

[@JaySiemens]

Hope you had a blast! Stay safe!

[@GoodTimeCatchers]

I think this is my third time watching this video. Love it! What a great trip!

[@LeMeFish]

Man how I love when my Jay Siemens notification comes up!!! Jay thanks again for the best video on a Monday. Alao finally caught a 18.5 walleye but didnt get it on video. Persistence pays off, and I've learned so much from your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@JaySiemens]

Thats awesome! Congrats!

[@taragee787]

With the stay at home order, I can't decide if the ice fishing vids are a giant tease or they're the only thing keeping me sane. Keep up the good work, love it!

[@JaySiemens]

Haha sorry! Hopefully the latter!

[@hunterbaum6921]

Just spent my first night on the ice on Waubay in SD. You and Mav have been a big influence on me to experience ice camping. It was a blast! Tight lines.

[@jasondavidmann]

My wife and I are planning to ice fish camp for the first time this winter. Thanks for the videos with all the tips!

[@JaySiemens]

That is awesome! Hope you had a blast!

[@jamiedayton1598]

Laker jumps out of hole... Sam: “He’s here!” 😂

[@JaySiemens]

Haha he was a bit aggressive

[@queenpdog]

Jay, recent subscriber here. Thank you so much for your vids. I'm learning a lot, and I love it when Sam goes along for the trip. She's your best catch, by far!

[@JaySiemens]

Thanks for following along! You're right. She's fun.

[@joshdettmer5836]

Thanks Jay another great video. That buddy flex looks sweet

[@fredtoombs278]

Great show I love watching the both of you out fishing and staying overnight

Hope you had a blast!

[@dillonsaltzman5856]

@@JaySiemens we did! Insane perch bite in a snow storm! Made for a great time!

[@fabulous7567]

Love the camping ice fishing vids! Any tips you can recommend for taking kids?

[@JaySiemens]

Yes! a confidence spot that produces some frequent bites. and snacks. Thats how I keep Sam out.

[@rogeranderson6668]

Wow Jay and Sam the heater would be perfect for Catfishing when it's cold. Thanks for your videos such a awesome walleyes and a lake trout to boot eh I miss fishing in the great white north. Much peace and love from northeast Texas.

[@ysgamez7403]

Y’all are the best fishing couple and y’all have guts to go on the ice for that long sad for me I can’t go ice fishing in Ontario cause of lockdown

[@rileysteffensen7270]

At 17.00 you could see the fish in the holes too the right as you are fighting it .awesome video!

[@kevinwinkler7116]

Believe it or not, sometimes its a breath of fresh air to watch "just fishing!" ... We don't always need an education video. As a matter of fact, I subscribe to more people who just fish than I do people who are resilient with sponsor hype relentlessly. Keep up the great work, I'm looking forward to the next notification already.

[@kevinwinkler7116]

Also ... can you please explain how to turn on those settings for the drawing? I've been scrolling all over in my settings. Maybe a short walk through video or live session?

[@SuperiorNorthwestRailfanning]

Wow. Monster walleye and huge nice size Lake trout. 👌😍👌. Wish I could get out to Lake of the woods.

[@fishingandflying8266]

Always enjoy your content. Still waiting for good ice out here on the east Coast Can.

[@williamjerome463]

Here’s a new subscriber 🤪🤪 love to see your videos! Shows everytime on recents. U my friend. Motivate me to go fishing even when I’m feeling down! So thank you for these wonderful videos!🤧

[@JaySiemens]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ssdpqd2531]

Your wife has the driest sense of humor ever. She’s hilarious. She compliments you very well. Keep bringing her on your ice excursions. It was another great video. Great walleye and some nice lakers.

Haha I appreciate that. She's fun to have out.

You should! Do your research first and stay safe!

[@Gatesoutdoors]

Best part was Sam..... He's HERE!!!!! Great stuff Jay

[@Brandonv5280]

Would love to see some more videos of you specifically targeting Lakers. They’re the hardest fighting fresh water fish hands down

[@aaronpullen8990]

My grandpas biggest walleye came from lake of the woods 30 1/2” and 10lb some odd ozs he’s passed away now would love to make it there sometime

[@JaySiemens]

Thats a great memory!!

[@ssdpqd2531]

Seeing the bubbles coming out of that lake trout was very cool.

[@stuarthammer3175]

Nice catch, Sam! The lake trout looked like a fun little fight as well. Nice video!

[@ChrisPollard]

Imagine what fishing like that would be without the live view ... showing you that it's sitting right at the end of your bait, waiting for you to entice it. Awesome walleye Sam!!

[@JojoVangOutdoors]

You should do a video on Mille Lacs! Morning Tullibees and Evening Walleyes!

[@Kenzie1387]

I was fishing when I got this notification. It was more exciting then the fishing. Lol. Thanks Jay. Any of those prints would be amazing. Thanks for the chance man.

Sam don't need your pity fish,...Boo-Ya!!! That was indeed a well fed, and very healthy Walleye, and congratulations Samantha for bringing in that massive slab of fish!!! Jay as always a well shot story, there is a reason why I comment as often as I do with your videos, in hopes that critiques and accolades encourage you to make even better content!! I'm so impressed with the skills you and others show, it makes me wish I were still in the game again, and I just might start having purchased a reasonably decent dslr before Christmas, now I just have to learn to shoot the damn thing! lol Please keep up the fantastic work you do, and I look forward to your next exploits!

They could add another 4 ft to the tent just for kitchen and heater and electronics. Looks to cramped but it's working or have a whole another tent to add on the existing one.

[@matthewmartel9898]

Love your channel so happy I’m subscribed. Fingers crossed on the flex system lol. Keep up the good work

[@3billm]

Great video, guys! You're truly living the dream, Jay!

[@JaySiemens]

I am very blessed!

[@TomLowers]

You two make some really good ice fishing videos. Keep it up. Sam I say this your very pretty. You remind me of my wife. She liketo fish as well. Even when our kids came along. Took them with us as baby's. Made it a family event. But later on the cost of license got to be too much& had to hang it up. Have NOT been out since. Still have all the stuff. But now no time which bits. Again thank GOD for you two. GOD BLESS !!!! Happy fishing videos to the both of you !!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mitchellbarrett2270]

Hi Jay, I love all of your videos! As I have been taught since I was little, we always have used minnow heads and not minnow bodies. I see you use the minnow bodies in a lot of videos on your tungsten jigs. Do you see more success by using the bodies instead of heads? Is there a situation for one or the other? Thanks!

[@JaySiemens]

Nope shouldn't make much of a difference. I use both ways!

[@Rat-ret]

Huge walleye. Great video. Really enjoyed it.

[@JaySiemens]

Awesome! Thanks!
