  • There’s nothing like targeting a new lake that you’ve never been to. The excitement for what’s to come, how is this day going to play out?
    When you put your knowledge on the line seeing zero response & just grind it out, sometimes the results are big.
    I iced some Giant Stocked Rainbow Trout, like I mean Giant! These trout are stocked from year to year usually with a species rotation.
    This lake or Saskatchewan pot hole I like to call them was under 60 acres in size. So I’m other words extremely small where you wouldn’t expect Giant fish to be.
    But friends here in Saskatchewan we have a great stocking program & Giant Trout are built in these back waterways.
    Here is my epic day as I crushed my PB Stocked Rainbow Trout @ 8.15lb one ounce shy of 9lb and then four hrs later beat that same PB out of the same ice fishing hole with an 11lb 27inch Giant!
    Outside Temperature 0 to -2 Celsius
    Absolutely Epic.
    Enjoy the footage

    Stocked trout don't take well to being weighed like that... If you want to make videos I would encourage you to maybe handle these fish a little better...

    • @surgeoutdoorsangling
      @surgeoutdoorsangling  2 роки тому +2

      I know that Clayton & I’m not taking offence to the comment. Scale rarely gets used. Measured first & were PB’s by length so I wanted to know their weights. Weighed as carefully as I could & released for someone else to catch.
      If they were caught by the three other groups out there that day the Trouts fate may have been different & ended up in a smoke house.
      I have a feeling I won’t have to weigh a stocked Rainbow for a long, long time.
      Good luck on the ice this winter.

      Fingers are not in the gills, one inch of my fore finger is holding the jaw skin & not touching any gill plate. Want to know how I know that? I was there. No one can say any fish lives or dies after release because they aren’t tracked via gps. Mother Nature is stronger than you think.

    Those were tanks, good job! What state is this? Those look like Triploid Trout

    • @surgeoutdoorsangling
      @surgeoutdoorsangling  2 роки тому +1

      Yup Triploid Stocked rainbows. Central / Northern Saskatchewan Canada is where lots of these videos are filmed. We have a really good stocking program & they plant all kinds of non reproductive trout in little water bodies. Waterbodies can’t be connected to any other water way so they can’t get access to natural lakes & rivers. I call the lakes pot holes, quite a few with Rainbow Trout, Brooke Trout, Splake, Brown Trout, Tiger Trout. Every lake is stocked different & can have a variety of species depending on how they do when relating to one another.
      Those two rainbows were Pb after PB and that was the first time I’ve ever been to that lake. I was shocked, stunned & pretty excited. Very cool experience.

    • @SVMSICE
      @SVMSICE 2 роки тому +1

      @@surgeoutdoorsangling wow way cool! That was an exciting day I’m sure. I wouldn’t have known those even existed but my nephew caught one a few years back by my dad’s house in the Columbia River in Washington. I sent the pic to my dad and he told me about them. I guess they were in a pen on the River for some study and the net got a hole in it and they all escaped into the river.

    • @surgeoutdoorsangling
      @surgeoutdoorsangling  2 роки тому +1

      So that same scenario is what happens on Lake Diefenbaker Saskatchewan. There’s a hydro dam at the north end of the lake so rainbows can’t go farther down river..
      On Diefenbaker lake Saskatchewan there’s a few fish farms in the lake with nets. Their triploids are raised because they grow fast and are marketed as steel head and sold in grocery stores.
      But some escape and you can fish and target them in that lake. World record rainbow trout is from there caught by the fishing geeks. 48 lb rainbow trout, the replica for it is in the “fishing hole”fishing store in saskatoon Saskatchewan.

    A better way to weigh big fish is in a water bag so you dont hang the fish by the head.

    • @surgeoutdoorsangling
      @surgeoutdoorsangling  7 місяців тому

      Man trust me I know.
      Let’s lay it down, ya pick out a random lake off a map… throw your stuff in a truck… punch some holes and mess around / film… know one in their right mind would of thought or been prepared for two monsters like that, I don’t care who you are. I sure as hell wasn’t, throw in excited as hell to even do that then add caught on film for a life time… we’re not talking about a picture here. Pictures are easy. Try film, cold, dead battery’s, camera gear, angles to show & not show, fog or water on the lens, connection issues, man… If people only knew the 1/2 of it. A picture… I always say if it ain’t on film it don’t count. I’ve lost lots of fish that would have made a picture. Try timing and getting that moment on film.
      If someone wants to try & replicate two hogs like that on the same day outta the same hole then have at it & best of luck. It’s very hard if not impossible to replicate someone’s angling experience.
      I don’t even weigh fish unless there’s a holy shit reaction for curiosity. Only reason there’s scale with ice fishing is because one time I didn’t have one and wish I did.
      Those fish live forever on film.

    Man oh man, extremely poor fish handling. I remember when I caught my first trout and to be honest it was a lot lesss harmful then that. And since you watch all these UA-cam video of all your hero’s, what you should be able to take out of them is that the way you just handled those fish was very improper.

    • @surgeoutdoorsangling
      @surgeoutdoorsangling  2 роки тому +1

      My hero’s? Like regular people that land big fish on first ice the same way.
      Thin ice, no ice hole shoot to guide fish, fish as big as ice hole so can’t use hand to slide down and push up, 6 lb test will break on a heavy pull, 0 to -2 nice outside temp, measured and weighed PB’s as careful as I could because I rarely weight or measure fish so I don’t carry a net for a sling & zero blood.
      Unfortunately I disagree, but a person always has to try & do their best with the situation regardless or the species.

      The fish will be fine, the fishing will be fine. No one was sitting there with me to see in person just speculation across a screen.
      People that know lakes know where every video is filmed, anglers fish this lake & that lake in which it’s the government’s job to watch & regulate.
      I’ve seen lakes with one subdivision then another & another, fishing is still there with pressure. I don’t care about the size of lake, some anglers fish for perch others for walleye, some lake trout … then there’s stocked trout. Everything is rationed around the community of anglers.
      At the end of the day regardless of lake, spot, bait, color, technique it’s impossible to recreate a day of success that someone else may or may not have. Then if someone does it’s a positive for the whole community from the angling license purchased, bait & gear sale, gas, maybe even a restaurant / hotel. Take all the provincial tax dollars generated & you have a tourism/recreation created economy. They can reinvest in stocking & regulation… there we have the circle of finance and a positive for the province.
      Be nice, be humble because the next person that goes there might have a great experience & a memory for a lifetime. Don’t try and scare people away from the sport that you enjoy yourself.
      Good luck on the ice this winter.

  • @murrayzelt3967
    @murrayzelt3967 8 місяців тому

    Nice fish & seems you mean well but it's a studied fact that fish to be released should be kept out of water a VERY short time , like hold for quick photo & back in water ( 20-30 seconds ). This beautiful specimen odds of surviving the prolonged time of getting tape, scale, weighing, pics etc is slim to none , & thats a shame. Not to mention it should never be left on ice like that , so hard on their organs flopping around on super hard ground when they are designed to be buoyant with little pressure. Pls in future think about better handling, as catch & release is only sporting if they survive!

    • @surgeoutdoorsangling

      Don’t worry, everything in that lake is dying this year. Gov is winter killing it.

      They are Saskatchewan secluded trout lakes, meaning they get restocked every year. Essentially renewable meat fish.

    Your fish handling abilities are terrible lol, way to kill a beauty fish. If you want to put this on you tube you would think you would work on not looking like an amateur with those rookie handling techniques. Unfortunately that fish is dead. Never weigh a fish like that. You should know that. Don't gill trout like that. I use a basic trick for keeping trout out of the water. When the fish comes out the hole take a breath and hold it, when you're ready for a breath the fish is too and you didn't just run a marathon. 10-15 seconds out should be a max.

      Unfortunately unless you are Mother Nature which I’m not aware that you are.. or are you? Hello 👋 Mother Nature
      Then you cannot say wether or not any fish from any species survives or parish’s due to certain factors. Because you don’t know.
      Watching across a screen does not put you there at those exact moments seeing everything.
      What determines if a fish survives or parish’s are factors, and the percentage of those factors may increase or decrease survival chances. In the winter time they would be weather temperature, how long out of water, bleeding, gill damage, fight duration and maybe others. Positives or negatives on any will reduce or increase survival. So everyone does their best and at the end of the day the angler who caught the fish makes decisions for themselves and then it’s up to Mother Nature. Just like it is in any other circumstance.
      Good luck on the ice this winter
