FIRST ICE Walleyes: CRAZY Action!

[@ErichandZachsoutdoors]

Persistence! Payed off!!

[@davdust]

A good way to get off the phone quick with the wife, "Oh! I got a tip-up up. Gotta go. Byeeeee!"

[@sarahschowalter5828]

I got a kick out of seeing the sucker, bass, and walleye in one Aqua Vue shot! Fun!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

I was thinking the same thing!!

[@jtbassing17]

Yes ice fishing season best time of the year !!!

[@kylebonnstetter1994]

Thanks for sharing your early ice trip with us who aren’t as fortunate to get out yet. Tight lines!

[@larrynelson734]

Glad you are back on the ice!!!👍👍❤🤠...

[@justinmetzger1272]

This is great, no 20 min of lead-up before you get to the ice even. Just right to business, all go n just enough show. Earned a new sub for sure today!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Thanks! I appreciate it. We’ll keep it coming all winter.

[@emersonprey3029]

Geeze they were fighting over them suckers lol, good stuff.

[@drdavewi]

Fun and interesting video, especially seeing how many fish looked at your bait but didn't bite. And several that bit but apparently didn't trip the flag. Thanks for sharing!

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Hey! Wasn’t that something Dave I’m trying different line and hooks next time! I was amazed when I got home I had no idea it was that crazy down there!

[@lanereinikainen9390]

Great footage!

[@claudesylvanshine6551]

They were doin the ole "bit n spit". The finickiness of this species is part of the allure.

[@joanninda255]

Great video! And we’ll see ya next time!!!!

[@yakkensteinfishing]

New sub! Love some ice fishing vids!!

[@sethhuiras7460]

Way to get out and find em, Kyle!

[@dereksoukup]

That underwater footage was so cool. Some walleye were pretty finicky. Crazy how they just chew the head before taking it all in.

[@TheEzrider403]

Nice !

[@davidkeith8687]

Look what you made me do!! Bought an Aqua View from Cabelas 329.00. Looks just like your set up.

[@davidgrochmal6023]

Like red green always. Said if the women don't find you handsome hopefully they will find you Handy 😊😊😊😊

[@genesiedenburg9798]

Nice to see you making videos again. It's been to long. 👍🇺🇲

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

You bet it’s been a long wait!!!

[@mattwaltenberg6722]

Great video coverage. I enjoy your videos keep up the amazing work. Some days it's like that. Have you ever tried using stinger hooks.

[@JustinHallowesOutdoors]

i like these first ice videos. are you going to do a camp 🏕 overnight ice fishing trip this season? and going back to the lodge?

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Yes going to overnight very soon!

[@thomasschafer846]

TOUGH WALLEYE CROWD.😊

[@davidwilliamson1256]

Good 👍

[@stan2207lang]

How thick was the ice and how big of a lake were you on

[@basschaser9356]

How deep are you fishing?

[@xKIAxRAIDENx]

I usually just make a loop in my line that can easily be pulled out instead of using a line marker. I haven’t noticed it having any sort of impact on my line or anything. It’s very similar to your line on your tip ups.

[@bradgarner9087]

I have had that problem not getting the hook set on walleye when i use size 10 hooks. I switched to 8 work way better and the fish dont seem to mind them.

[@andrewaw3634]

I use #4 gamakatsu octopus hooks and 6-8lb test for my walleye tip-ups. Run a series of 2-3 splitshots a foot and a half above the hook and up. Gives the minnow less resistance to swim and I feel the walleye don't feel it as much as one heavy splitshot and are less likely to drop. I also like to use the biggest fatheads I can find. I've gotten some big perch and crappie on tipups mixed in.

[@michaelhutchison2754]

You fish Bear Lake at all in Haugen? Man I use to pound the crappies and perch there.

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

It’s a great lake. We just haven’t fished it in a while.

[@denniscrane9753]

Bro’s got walleye bass bluegill and perch all in one hole! 🕳️ someone pinch me!

[@evanmalison4489]

❤️🎣

[@danielcarpentier3401]

Plum lake?

[@cnorth1562]

You might have to clip the tails on your minnows

[@punkinseed11]

How do you figure one was a 30-inch in one was a 32-in

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Was joking around lol I said probably 🤣

[@dukeitsk9624]

Try smaller live bait next time or try using smaller dead minnows

[@jamesswanson1139]

If you let them go what is the point?

[@Wisconsin_Fisherman]

Hey James, Letting fish go is crucial for conservation and maintaining healthy fish populations. By practicing catch and release, we help fish reproduce and sustain their populations, ensuring future generations can enjoy fishing too. It also protects genetic diversity within fish populations, making them more resilient to environmental changes and diseases. So, releasing fish is a key part of responsible fishing and helps keep our favorite spots vibrant and full of life.

[@bigniftydude]

Yeah james!

[@livinforthelord]

@@bigniftydude yeah james

[@claudesylvanshine6551]

​@@Wisconsin_FishermanMethinks James might not be too familiar with nuance and reason.

[@jonrudolph6814]

I would switch from suckers to fat heads. The minnows were just a little big. Large fat heads with a size 14 or 16 hooks work great

[@FishingNature87]

Technology ice fishing lmao whatever happened to 🎣 pole and reel 😆

[@juliosdiy3206]

That place is crazy no good. Id get the hell outa thr. Fish like that waste my time.

[@RattleCanRedcustoms-xx2bv]

Although I just subscribed to your channel I enjoy your content. I’m a custom bait maker and I would like to see you try my stuff . Free as a tester if nothing else . I’m not looking for a free ad or anything just selective people to try my stuff and give me feedback back . Let me know I’ll ship some out

[@robertstegall5817]

A little secret-hook the minnow closer to the tail..
