I tried that spot again this year on a January full moon night but didn’t have much luck. I’m heading out there with a friend or two tomorrow but we’ll be targeting catfish since the walleye season is closed in MN now.
@@safarigoo We spent the afternoon out there last week, not much luck other than a few little pike. Next full moon I’ll have to go spend the night out there. I usually do better after dark. It’s kind of a hit or miss lake too but there’s the potential to catch some big fish there.
What a great opening sequence. A hallmark of your videos is that you make fishing look amazingly easy. You aren't trying to fool us, but I suspect few of your viewers appreciate how much experience and thought you've given your sport to get such handsome results.
You got me hooked into kayak fishing I am in no way getting into ice fishing. I would be cooking hot dogs and slamming beers all day. Awesome video tho once again.
Absolutely love the video. Thanks so much for sharing. Used to live in New York, live in Florida now. Miss ice fishing for walleyes something fierce. Again, thanks for sharing.
So do I ! There is just one place in France where you can fish like that, and not every year... There are so much people that the ice looks like a Swiss cheese ! Cheers from France 🇫🇷
I just want to echo what some of your fans have already said. Night or day, warm or cold, you still have the best attitude I have ever seen/heard from a fishing man. No, you never disappoint. Ice-fishing sure has an appeal to me now!
thank you, great video with fine looking fish and very skilled fisherman that delivers with no nonsense, no opportunity here in Australia to ice fish, but i thoroughly enjoy your videos
That is a great way to ice fish - - compact but sophisticated and comfy - and at night to boot! Awesome fish coming out of such small holes. Heater a-blazing doesn't affect the ice (we used to do some serious campfires on 2-3 ft of ice no probs). Great video!
Love the vid :) I swear it is of a trip of mine, same gear even! No bullshit, and no phony filler footage, just good hooksets and releases :) One thing, please dont take offense...the gill rakers are super sensitive , I noticed a couple times the fish had them thumbed accidentally. I use a liplocker, and at worst they get is a broken tooth :) Keep 'em coming...subscribed! :) Goota get me a couple of the wonderbread Northlands, first I have seen of them here/
That was freaking awesome. Would definitely enjoy more ice fishing videos to keep us entertained until spring! You live in a part of the country with some of the best ice fishing. Happy new year!
Being from Wisconsin, I am all about fishing local and enjoying what you have in your own yard, but in case you would like to know, the walleye run on Lake Erie off Ohio North of Port Clinton in late spring early summer produce wallys 23”-32”. We get them almost every other cast most years. The meat tastes even better than the walleyes on the inland lakes. Worth the experience at least...I recommend a guide for sure though!
Definitely different seeing you ice fishing instead of crushing all those nice smallies in the river good cool video though and glad to see you are still out catching fish!
Love the sled set up. Maybe you show in a little more detail next time. Great video, it’s the first time in a while you didn’t b read out the whopper plopped. Lol hopefully you get out and do some more ice fishing. Be safe out there.
Thanks Chris! I’m planning on doing a video on the sled setup one of these days since most Smitty sleds I’ve seen just have a couple 2x4s bolted between the sled and skis. I figured I’d wait until we actually had some snow on the ice which there should be plenty of now.
Great video. LOVE your sled. Made my own but how you made yours looks waaay lighter. Lighter means easier to pull across the ice for us old guys. Looking forward to the Smitty sled build video. Keep up the good video👍. Be safe out there respect the ice.
First off, that first shot with the sled going over the camera was ballsy! I would have been so nervous I would knock the camera over! Secondly, I’m just excited to see OU do some ice fishing. I hate having to go all winter without seeing your videos.
Now THAT'S a cool intro shot! Right over top of the video camera. Great fishin' video there, my friend! You know, you're the Pecos Hank of fishin'videos. Like Ol' Pecos Hank, you don't do a whole lot of yelling and screaming, when you're fishin'. Pecos Hank, by the way, is a Tornado Chaser out of, I believe, Houston, Texas. He's like you-a really chill dude. If you get the chance, you oughta check out some of his videos. It's great stuff! Have a good day, and keep on catchin' them there fish! Tight lines to ya!
I was born in Minnesota but my mother moved before I even had any memories there but I definitely need to take a trip there and do some fishing. For some reason I had no idea that Minnesota was such a great place to fish
Fantastic video. I've never ice fished a day in my life very cool to see how it's done! Wonder if one day you could talk about your battery setup for your cameras (swapping batteries or a battery pack?) And show your rod holder in more detail in the bed of the truck! Great work!
Thanks! I had to take the rod holder out of my truck bed to make room for the ice gear but when spring comes I’ll pop rivet it back in. I’ll try to remember to throw on the hat cam and do a quick video. With the hat cam I was using here I just bring a half dozen spare batteries. It’s tough keeping them from freezing up and working for more than five minutes when it’s below freezing outside but once I get the ice shack popped up I’ll stick the cell phone dry box I keep my spare batteries in up in one of the cargo nets in the ceiling of the shack to keep them nice and warm.
Greetings from Brisbane Australia 👍 That was very cool to watch! It was a balmy 21 degrees Celsius here last night (70 degrees Fahrenheit) so we aren't doing much ice fishing here. Mind you, even in Winter the only ice we see is in our drinks 🥃 I look forward to seeing more of your winter adventures. If you need a fix of warmth I'll try and post an Aussie Bass video soon for you 😎
@@Ball-Dangle I’ve never had it happen but I’d imagine it’s possible. I don’t think the edge at the top or bottom of the hole is really sharp unless it starts to freeze over again but even then I’ve never had line break because of the ice.
Dont feel to bad man I have been waiting for safe ice on the Mississippi and now its 45° for the next 3 days so I doubt I'll be pulling any eyes through the ice this season :-( but there is always the spring bite.
If I’m hand augering it those blades better be sharp lol. I always bring the auger into the ice shack and set it in front of the heater for a half hour or so once I’m set up then wipe it down once it’s thawed out so the blades don’t get rusty.
Your fans always talk about your laid back manner. This video impresses me for videography, audio and editing. You never disappoint.
Spooky.. ice house pops up and starts moving across the lake by itself at 00:57 😱😱
Strange things happen when the moon is full.
Lol awesome video. Was excited to see you post an ice fishing video. Where you in North Dakota or Minnesota for this one?
True
not true.. it man push camping
That’s the walleye breaking into it. Strong little things
I'm confused... that's a weird looking kayak
Hahaha
Not a kayak lol
Lol
Bass Bites r/woooosh
Bass Bites shut the fuck up
Really nice video. No drama, no bullcrap, just good content. Love all your vids. Keep up the good work.
just watched this for probably the 3rd time. Good spot, wish you would go back and film there again!
I tried that spot again this year on a January full moon night but didn’t have much luck. I’m heading out there with a friend or two tomorrow but we’ll be targeting catfish since the walleye season is closed in MN now.
@@ndyakangler cats on ice gear looks fun. Good luck!
@@ndyakangler Been back yet?

I think that’s how a lot of ice fishermen do it!
I don't think you understand how addicting ice fishing really is, the jigging, the drilling, THE BEERS, lmao
Absolutely love the video. Thanks so much for sharing. Used to live in New York, live in Florida now. Miss ice fishing for walleyes something fierce. Again, thanks for sharing.
I will never have a chance to do such fishing and thank you for uploading it. Love every minute of it!
So do I !
There is just one place in France where you can fish like that, and not every year...
There are so much people that the ice looks like a Swiss cheese !

Mr. Whiskers came for a bite.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎣
thank you, great video with fine looking fish and very skilled fisherman that delivers with no nonsense, no opportunity here in Australia to ice fish, but i thoroughly enjoy your videos
Awesome videos. My daughter watched this one with me and said "he sounds like Bob Ross". Keep up the great work sir.
That was a very talkative catfish. I love hearing them croak it sounds so cool
wow. I never saw the appeal to ice fishing, until I watched you do it. now I wanna give it a try. but I'm sure you're making it look easy as usual
IDK I still think that doesn't look fun with all the water getting on his little platform. It would be fun with booze and friends though.
@@guppy719 That’s pretty much it, booze and friends! Bring a camping stove for a fish fry as well!
Awesome video man! The amount of effort you put into your videos is outstanding. Thanks for sharing!
Such mature, quality content. You’re one of the best on the internet
My PB walleye is 17in. I caught it bass fishing. Just under the limit.
Just found your channel, like it so much. It's all about high intelligent fishing.
The master of disaster has returned! So good to see/hear from you! Keep ‘em coming. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, sir!
I never had a chance to do ice fishing but it seems to be a lot of fun. Excellent work my friend.
Perfectly edited and exciting fishing vids! Great job!
All your videos are so incredible. I don’t understand how you don’t have more subs. Please continue to post videos. I promise to watch them all.
Another great video without annoying music , just great comments and fishing
Man, you like the Mr. Rogers of fishing. Hey Neighbor! Keep it up!
That is a great way to ice fish - - compact but sophisticated and comfy - and at night to boot! Awesome fish coming out of such small holes. Heater a-blazing doesn't affect the ice (we used to do some serious campfires on 2-3 ft of ice no probs). Great video!
That was a nice looking group of eaters you pulled through the ice. Landing that 26” eye had to feel good. Thanks for taking us along, Matt!!
Always inspirational to watch you fish.
”Catch you later” must have been the best dad Joke that i have heard
don't stop making videos, i religiously watch your videos and i've probably re-watched all your videos up to a year old 3 times each
Love the vid :) I swear it is of a trip of mine, same gear even!

I figured you had to be an ice fisherman also, seeing where you live. Nice job! Love me some walleye through the ice.
Old but gold video, love your stuff!
what a beautiful watch, thank you so much i enjoyed every second, at the end i was like its over already. amazing !
I’ve been waiting for this :) thanks for posting
Fantastic walleye. Love the cat in there too. Ever tried a Rapala flat jig? I’m having good success on them this year.
I’ve looked at them plenty of times at the tackle shop but haven’t tried one yet.
Couldnt believe this video when I first clicked on it. That's superb. Great fish and interesting video
I love ice fishing! Not sure if we're gonna be able to in Illinois this season. Thanks for taking me along👍
I find ice fishing boring, but you make it kinda fun. 😊
That was freaking awesome. Would definitely enjoy more ice fishing videos to keep us entertained until spring! You live in a part of the country with some of the best ice fishing. Happy new year!
Love all your content! Probably my favorite UA-cam channel.
Thanks Clif!
I enjoy this video and come back to it often.
Good video!!! No annoying stuff just right to the point, good action too!
Okay even though this channel is kinda quiet compared to others it’s still one of the only channels where I watch the whole episode
Now that is a good night on the ice! Nice channel and Walleye!
Nice fish and I love your set up. I can’t wait to get out and catch some moon eyes
Walleye and perch are my favorite fish to eat! Live on lake Erie, plenty of nice Walleye and big perch...
The end was scary af! 🥶😱 It may have been a full moon, but it was pitch ass dark! Serial killer dark! Dude you seriously are bad ass!
Fear of the dark
Nice walleye and channy! Can't beat that for a night out

Wow never seen ice fishing before now, very informative, be great to try it one day, thanks
You have a very nice set up!! Great tips and very nice fish!
Imagine bigger walleyes that people just haven’t caught yet. Those little ones were nice eating sizes though. Now I’m hungry!
Love the sled set up. Maybe you show in a little more detail next time. Great video, it’s the first time in a while you didn’t b read out the whopper plopped. Lol hopefully you get out and do some more ice fishing. Be safe out there.

@@ndyakangler More info on your sled would be appreciated. Great video.
@@ndyakangler Yes please, would love to see info on how you did the Smitty. Also, your lighting setup in your shanty!
Great video. LOVE your sled. Made my own but how you made yours looks waaay lighter. Lighter means easier to pull across the ice for us old guys. Looking forward to the Smitty sled build video. Keep up the good video👍. Be safe out there respect the ice.
It looks like you have the blessing for more than one species of fish
I’m just glad I finally found some fish willing to bite through the ice that weren’t camera shy! It was a great evening in the shack!
Great video ! I watch all the kayak videos. Winter has been mild here in the Northeast so we have not started ice fishing yet
First off, that first shot with the sled going over the camera was ballsy! I would have been so nervous I would knock the camera over! Secondly, I’m just excited to see OU do some ice fishing. I hate having to go all winter without seeing your videos.
I may have done that on the first attempt to get that shot lol. Luckily the GoPro can take some abuse!
This video is extremely satisfying inside the warmth of my home haha
In North West VT. Ice fishing is very fun for all!! Thanks!

Man I was rooting for some action on that second rod! Great video man !
Finally! Let's keep it up! 🎣🎣
I need Walleyes in my life!!
Back to back videos you caught your PB. That is no small miracle to have gotten those on video too.
Friend...The Gospel of John, when you're ready!😊🔥
sehr schönes Video wie immer von Dir frohes neues Dir und Deiner Familie

Yeah I think we're screwed here in Ohio as far as ice goes. Bummer.

Those were some awesome fish, congrats.
Awesome video. Keep them coming!
Nice treat Matt. Thanks
YEAH MAN THAT'S SOME PRETTY GOOD FISH 👍👌💪🐟😁
This is why I love ice fishing right here👌
Never ice fished.. does the ice not sometimes cut the line?
@@Ball-Dangle I’ve never had it happen but I’d imagine it’s possible. I don’t think the edge at the top or bottom of the hole is really sharp unless it starts to freeze over again but even then I’ve never had line break because of the ice.
Does anyone else find his videos relaxing
Nice fish! Thanks for the video.
Your edits are soooo good!
Thanks Nicole! After the two previous trips of filming the setup process and not catching much it was nice to finally catch some fish worth uploading!
Not into ice fishing, to cold for my liking, although you definitely made it look more inviting with your awesome setup 😎 😀 👌.
Thank you so much for your quick reply
Love the ice fishing videos
Great night on the ice man, Happy Holidays 🍻
That looks like a whole lot of fun.
Nice video sick fight on that catfish thanks for sharing 👍
I love the setup
hell yeah buddy. happy new year and be safe.
gmanlipripper yio
Man, I wish the ice would setup here already. I'm jealous..
Dont feel to bad man I have been waiting for safe ice on the Mississippi and now its 45° for the next 3 days so I doubt I'll be pulling any eyes through the ice this season :-( but there is always the spring bite.
Ralph Barton NICE. iTS Amazing how they talk to you. Loved the video. Very entertaining.
Sweet set up. Beats sitting wrapped in a sleeping bag on a 5 gal bucket.
This is so cool I a always wanted try ice fishing.
Awesome video, the fish weren’t too bad either 😉
What is the thing on your line a float?
It’s an ice bobber, they’re a little different than a normal bobber to prevent the line from freezing to it.
@@ndyakangler cool thanks
Creek chubs work amazing on that lake.
ice on film... clear... ...............ice on film dark... sun went down... walleye came up... nice...
Watching you drill that hole makes me think my auger may be a little dull..
If I’m hand augering it those blades better be sharp lol. I always bring the auger into the ice shack and set it in front of the heater for a half hour or so once I’m set up then wipe it down once it’s thawed out so the blades don’t get rusty.
Отличные судаки! И сом тоже зачёт!
Great vid!!!
