You're a true fisherman man! Most ppl would keep a catch like that but you let the beautiful fish go! Its Good to see that people like you and your friends are out there respecting nature.
Much props to you my friend for the catch and release..... Takes a true fisherman to do such a thing. You respect life and I respect you... good job, great video.
I respect you guys very very much after watching this video. You totally understand that when you see something very beautiful in nature you don't just catch it and eat it. You allowed it to return back to its home. It was a very beautiful thing that you did when you released the trout back into the lake.
The 'Catch and Release' was as Incredible.. as the 'Catch Itself' ! Great Job Guys !! Saving the Resources for the Next Generation.. Very Impressive !!
@JigHeadsTV , this is by far the best fishing video I have ever seen. The video quality , the excitement , THE FISH !!!! , amazing stuff you guys. Very well done.
Well done. To all the people complaining about handling the fish: The fish wouldn't fit through the whole. It had to be squeezed through. It's the only way to handle a monster fish in those conditions. Oh, and he didn't actual grab it by the gills, he was holding it by that boney area that covers the gills.
Thank you SO much for letting that amazing fish go. Catch and release is the best way to go!!!! The entire video I was hoping you let it go at the end. Good job!
1st off....magnificent fish!!!!!! Also, what i loved the most about the video is ur enthusiasm!!!!! You are a true fisherman....last nov. i caught a 20+lb brown in wa st.....i sounded just like you....especially after he came to the surface the 1st. time!!!!! And better yet.....you let ur fish of a lifetime go, just like i did mine!!! Congrats..!!!!!
excellent job guys, most people get major egos after a big fish, you guys seem hella cool, think i want my first ice fishing excperience to be with you guys
i am not a fisheman so please excuse my silly question but but i do wonder how a small fine line as shown could hold a fish that big without breaking and so with the clear ice he was on which seemed to be too thin to hold his weight? thanks for sharing by the way.
OK guys. Let's clear this up. He didn't grab it by the gills and there was no other way to pull it out of the water except for squeezing it through the hole. Sorry to disappoint the haters.
I could see your using gepu's( not sure if thats the right spelling) how deep of water were you guy's in? Which part of Superior were you guy's fishing on?
great catch! my first time Ice Fishing was up in Grantsburg, WI - Big Wood Lake. I'd never caught Bass before - so my first catch was a 6lb Large Mouth - that was one of my best days fishing!
Just wondering how you kept the water out of the shelter. I went today with about 4 inches of crystal clear ice but the hole was just filling the floor with water. I didnt know if there was a trick. That ice is great! Nothing like seeing your catch come up from the depths! Great catch what a monster!
good vid from some exited canadians which i give mad props to for not cussing the whole vid and using those funny phrases like "HOLY BUCKETS!!!!" and "THIS THING IS A HOG" good vid, great fish.
@JigHeadsTV Thanks for the info! On our Striped Bass (in RI) we have small parasites we call sea lice, too, but they are small copeopods that look like little tiny Horseshoe Crabs. I'm curious what those were on that Laker. Again, though, congrats on a HUGE fish!!
This is a great video, congratulations guys for catching that amazing fish! Hate to say it, but there's a very small chance that fish actually survived the ordeal. Should have kept it and had it mounted, no shame in that!
That was awesome..I think my hands were shaking just watching....Woulda been nice to get a weight on her....Kudos to you for releasing that Fish... Takes a lot of class to do that....
Absolutely fantastic fish. Sincere congrats. Way bigger than my 20-pounder. I do hope it made it, though, as that was some rough handling. Beautifully clear ice, by the way.

This is the most Canadian video I'll see all day.

They're Wisconsin Boys
Except for DUDE. He must be close to the border..
Catch and relese at its finest. Proud of these guys for that! I don't know if I could have done the same.
Its great to see someone catch a fish that size and put it back down the hole great video!
Agreed!
You're a true fisherman man! Most ppl would keep a catch like that but you let the beautiful fish go! Its Good to see that people like you and your friends are out there respecting nature.
One of the best icefishingingfilm I´ve ever seen , just Great !
Congratulations ! Ronnie
I applaud you for putting this old timer back......
3:03 : the voice he have when he say "look at this fish" make me laugh hard!! ahahah
It's great to see someone who has such appreciation and respect for fishing. Good job my man!
Best ice fishing video of all time.
Much props to you my friend for the catch and release..... Takes a true fisherman to do such a thing. You respect life and I respect you... good job, great video.
I like the fisherman's reaction more than the fish :D
Pleasantly surprised when you put it back in. Thanks for sharing.
He's so happy! Great vid
I respect you guys very very much after watching this video. You totally understand that when you see something very beautiful in nature you don't just catch it and eat it.

The 'Catch and Release' was as Incredible.. as the 'Catch Itself' ! Great Job Guys !! Saving the Resources for the Next Generation.. Very Impressive !!
I really dig how clear you keep the ice in your shanty!! Makes for great video footage!! Nice fish too!!
Wow! Nice fish! Glad you got that legend back in the water for another lucky sportsman. Congrats!
@JigHeadsTV , this is by far the best fishing video I have ever seen. The video quality , the excitement , THE FISH !!!! , amazing stuff you guys. Very well done.
I was the most happy to see that monster swim away.
Thanks for putting her back. I dont always catch and release, but this one deserved to be. Congrats on the great catch!
Never EVAR i have seen the ice soo crystall clear,
Good job on the fish
great and all but do you usually have to release back huge fish you catch?
Why would you keep it?
Chandler Hall
cause they are delicious
It's likely female so keeping the population going is important, and they don't taste as good the smaller fish.
Chandler Hall A trophy?
watch the entire video, they did.
This is awesome!! I wish this video was more popular. I've seen other videos saying monster lake trout out there and this one hands down is the best!!
Good thing you got that on video cuz no one would have ever believed you when you told them how big a fish you caught. Nice catch!
That lake trout was so big it looks like a gaint great white shark in that super clear water. Nice fish man.
And you let it go... you are the man there is a reason guys like you catch fish like this..
Well done. To all the people complaining about handling the fish: The fish wouldn't fit through the whole. It had to be squeezed through. It's the only way to handle a monster fish in those conditions. Oh, and he didn't actual grab it by the gills, he was holding it by that boney area that covers the gills.
Ya they grabbed the fish by the gill plate the fish was not harmed
HOLY BUCKETS!!! lmao!! awesome catch and release
you looks like a proud papa with a new baby.I'll say that's your baby good job.
Thank you SO much for letting that amazing fish go. Catch and release is the best way to go!!!! The entire video I was hoping you let it go at the end. Good job!
I have to say, I watch alot of youtube and that by far was one of the best I have seen in awhile. Thanks for sharing !

Great catch! I think I would faint if I ever caught something that big. I'm a bit of a kid when I fish. And it's pretty cool that you released it.
I could see your using gepu's( not sure if thats the right spelling) how deep of water were you guy's in? Which part of Superior were you guy's fishing on?
