So good to see a guy who knows how to keep cool and handle fish properly. They'll be there for next time, and they'll be even bigger because of guys like you.
How in the heck does Clayton only have 45k subs? He catches tons of fish and absolute giants in all of his vids. The content is as good as you'll find anywhere. If you're watching this vid and aren't subbed, get on that. This man is a legend.
Clayton I really commend you on how you treat your fish. To many people out there have no idea just how fragile fish are, especially during cold snaps and heat waves. Keep up the good content love watching your vids.
The underwater footage is phenomenal. So cool to see how well adapted those pike are to their environment. They blend in so well with the bottom of that like!
This is what fishing is all about. Being nice the Aqua Vu looks crystal clear as well as the water. Thanks for taking care of our fish!!!! Good man! Nice set up nice truck lol.
I watch this video every now and again. Soemtiems for the pike, sometimes for how well you think it all through, all for the best interest of these beautiful fish, while still getti great shots and great releases. Amazing!
Excited to come across your video channel. Appreciate your love of the sport and attention to conservation with things like; wanting to remove the previous hook, live well technique, catch and release, great camera work, instruction and commentary. Your enthusiasm is contagious. :)
13:10 I'm not a fan of ice fishing but I do have an underwater camera. I use it during the summer off of docks, floating bridges, drop offs or wherever there's deep water. Bluegills and Bass do the exact same thing. They look at the camera. This is the first time I've ever seen a Pike do that!
I think you made a great decision not keeping hat smaller Pike. I think because you saved him from that bad hook he deserves to go and grow. Thank you for your videos Clayton. You are an amazing teacher.
I love when those big mommas try to eat the camera. Nice to see the markings and chains on them too, Super clear! Always fun watching you react with the big bites!
What beautiful pike. It was funny to see the crayfish trying to be invisible when the first pike started looking hungry. Kudos on the fish handling. The way some people treat fish they may as well not bother returning them.
That was an awesome video man, loved all the underwater shots of those giant pike. Prime video! So much set up work pays off big time for you! Nicely done!
No need to apologize all the time Clayton your content is top notch we just appreciate you showing us all these amazing days on the ice/water keep up the good work🤙🏼
Love your respect for the fish. It's what makes the fishing great. Lots of people just don't get it. Keep a few smaller ones to eat but respect the biggees and let em go!
I wish I could Like this video 1,000 times. This is my new favorite ice fishing video on all of UA-cam. And that's saying something because you alone have a crazy amount of amazing videos. This was an absolute stunner !!!! You literally take it yo the next level with your quality of videos. Well done.
Those big pike like it quiet . Ok thats why the dead stick outperform . I see them on the camera in the tent , but they just sit there waiting for me throw my bait down the hole when I go home . That was great footage with two cameras . I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas. You rock Clayton ! I watched this video twice it was so good .
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors I've had a camera for over 10 years . I'm talking I need 2 cameras now that I've seen you do it . I never thought of or saw anybody using two at same time. My first was an aqua view,loved it until someone stole it out of my van . Right now I have a Marcum camera ,marcum sonar ,vexilar flasher, striker 4sonar . Time for another aqua view, a guy can never have enough toys . I can't wait for end of March fishing , I like walleye to eat ,but pike is my favorite deep fried in crunched up corn flakes .
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors I know you put in a lot of time & a ton of effort to catch quality fish & make production quality videos. Much appreciated down here in Iowa, keep it up 👍
What keeps your "live well" from freezing over between catches. Seems a shallow well like that would freeze up in no time. I see it's fed by an actual hole in the ice. Does digging it below the water level keep it from freezing up?
Another sick video! Quality footage. Monster fish. Over the top trophy management and care with those fish. And probably the thing that gets overlooked for a vid like this is THE HOURS OF SET UP AND TEAR DOWN!! thanks for the hard work my friend. Enjoy your stuff so much!
I’ve recently taken the plunge into cameras if only to scout substrate in our reservoirs. Second time out, boom, the camera was grabbed by a burbot. Reminded me of the one that grabbed your transducer. I’m mesmerized watching those clear images of pike fins in action. I enjoy your enthusiasm and passion, Clayton. Keep it up!
can i get pinned?, i just subbed ur vids r awesome!
Appreciate you watching!! I will pin you for 24 hours :)

This is some of the best underwater footage I've ever seen! You really gain so much respect for the fish when you see them in their natural habitat.
That’s awesome, that was a big crayfish lurking by there.
I know!! I didn't see it till I was editing. I talk about it in my next video :)
So cool to see the crawdad coming in on the minnow scales. Can't get enough of this aquavu footage.
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors when is that coming
Hopefully in a few days :).
hahah he saw that big pike and started hiding 😆🤣

I only just subbed the other day but I’d have to absolutely agree with man awesome content 💯
1000000% agree!
Clayton I really commend you on how you treat your fish. To many people out there have no idea just how fragile fish are, especially during cold snaps and heat waves. Keep up the good content love watching your vids.
Best days of the month are when I'm fishing or when you post new vids!
Sounds like a great day!
Love the Crayfish stealing the show =) Nice Pike action!
Right? I saw that when editing... I actually talk about it in my next video. Good eye!!
Um. Maybe you should be trying to catch those... Crayfish? Try lobster!
I like how you respect the fish, keep the gills wet and otherwise treat them well! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Your fish care for winter fishing is impeccable. Keep it up!
Thank you for noticing!
The underwater footage is phenomenal. So cool to see how well adapted those pike are to their environment. They blend in so well with the bottom of that like!
Clayton, you are the most consistently consistent and entertaining fishing channel on youtube. Great stuff, as always. Keep on keeping on.
I do try :) Thank you so much for continuing to watch!
Pound for pound, the best photographer in the fishing business. So much fun to watch.
Appreciate the kind words :)
Man, losing track of time while catching beautiful monsters is the definition of "Life is good." That is the goal, Clayton. Well done.
Life is Good :)
This is what fishing is all about. Being nice the Aqua Vu looks crystal clear as well as the water. Thanks for taking care of our fish!!!! Good man! Nice set up nice truck lol.
Thank you for watching man!!
I came here for the crawfish comments. World class pike day, Clayton. Amazing.
Right? Funny that I actually talk about the Crawfish in my next video :) I didn't see it till I started to edit.
I watch this video every now and again. Soemtiems for the pike, sometimes for how well you think it all through, all for the best interest of these beautiful fish, while still getti great shots and great releases. Amazing!
2 underwater cameras would be awesome, I honestly use my camera more than my flasher. And that quad cam is awesome! Def not too much!
Thanks for the video. You’re a great sportsman! Your love for nature is obvious.
Great video! No cheesy bs, just great video with cool underwater footage and showing your gear.
Well done!
Deadly footage Clayton and those where some nice fish!! What a guy wouldn't know thanks so much for sharing !!
Great footage Clayton. Both fish of a lifetime for many. Awesome as always! As Wayne and Garth would say, " We're not worthy" ... 😄
HAH!!! Love it!! Cheers man!
Thank you for inserting that clip of Lenny!! That made the video for me!!
HAH!! Can't believe those were filmed 11 years ago already!
I couldn't count on my fingers and toes the amount of times I've watched those videos 🤣
