I targeted Lake trout for the first time last season after watching you. Was probably the most exciting couple days on the hard water I’ve ever had. When they are on and chasing there’s no shortage of exciting hook ups🎣 thanks for all the excellent advice and strategies
Your theory on the reason smaller lakers don't get hooked is spot on. That's also why you can get multiple attempts on the same smaller sized trout - they don't get nipped by the hook.
What a giant! Can’t wait for ice season! It would be awesome to see more series like these where you break down every aspect of fishing for a certain species. I’m a beginner and I find your style of explaining easy to understand.
You're the man clayton, much love as always. Very much appreciate how you take such amazing care of the fish and set a good example! I wish you another epic ice season!
I'm a boring commentor but I'll do it for your algorithim... Love Ice Fishing lakers and you are great to watch doing it... You put me on Baker's Narrows from past video's and I love that place so thanks for all you do...
Clayton, you told us about the rods/reels/line combo last time. You told us about the tackle this time, but you didn't mention the jig heads for the tubes and the hooks that you use on the dinnerbells. Do you use the factory hooks from Frostbite on the dinnerbells? Do you use the jig heads sold from Send It Outdoors w/ VMC hooks? if you don't mind. Awesome video and GREAT information. Thank you.
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoorsMy experience has taught me lots of time they are just hanging on or crushing the bait. You can bring them up 20-30 ft & I don’t think one even had a hook in them. They just open their mouth & let it go. It’s like a Pike hanging on to a walleye until you get it to the boat & they just release it. Great Video 👊🏻
Awesome video Clayton😉 You have just kicked started my ice fishing season. Great 43” laker and released😉 I tryed Dinner Bell spoons last year and i found the trebble often hooks up inside bell slot upside down😢 Have you noticed this too happening? Keep on making lakers ice videos🎉
DAMN IT CLAYTON! I shouldn't be fishing, have so much to do ....but now im thinking Lake Trout might be fun coming up this week. Live near Lake Huron, we have dome dandies, jigging from kayaks. Fun, fun, fun! Always love your vids and passion! Keep it up.
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors not at all man you're in the moment there. I'm sure by the weight you were thinking it would be longer. Good stuff, ice is on the way!
This word gets thrown around too much but, that battle with that tank 43 was EPIC! Excited to see what you hook into thisnciming winter. Hopefully see you next weekend in Wpg.
Stoked to see what you have in store this upcoming ice season! You were a big inspiration for me to start my own channel recently out here in Utah! Thanks for getting the ice fishing juices going early!
Here it is October 28th in Northern Michigan lower peninsula and I'm ready for Ice fishing!! Last winter was terrible, I'm praying for Solid Ice from January-March!!! Let's Go!! 😊
Dude!!!!!!! Amazing fish!!!! Gonna try to get on the flaming gorge this hard water season... Cant wait to hook a good one. I've never encountered a big one. I don't have many options close to home 😕.
Congrats on another giant.What type of heater are you running?You probably have mentioned it on other videos im guessing.Cant wait for your newest first ice video.Thanks for all your great info
Another amazing video! That fish was a tank!!!!!! I’m super excited for the ice season to start…on a side note, did you start using a new heater? It looks different than the typical big heater buddy.
I'm so excited for ice fishing I could bounce off the walls but like I told you in the other video I'm injured and the last thing I need is to fall off a wall 😂
Cool that youve already got ice ?! I live down in south Sweden pretty warm theirs asses on mopeds out still . Theres snow coming down around the Arctic. Ir le back home but thats in the North . Hope Youl catch anything
Only lake trout I ever hooked was exactly like that one Clayton had bite 3 times. I’d drop down he bite I’d lose him I’d drop down he’d bite I’d set the hook then lose him. I’d drop down 3rd time he’d bite I’d really set the hook then I lost him again. It was extremely frustrating
Nice work. What a fish! Can’t believe those dinks will eat a spoon that big. Never seen that happen here. What about the Williams spoons? Had good luck with those it seems
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors tubes are definitely my go to though. 4in seems to work best around here. I don’t live in the land of the giant lake trout. State record is 39lbs 44 in. But that’s definitely an anomaly
You know your watching a man who catches lots of big fish when he says “it’s only 43 inches”! Amazing Clayton, awesome video!
Haha… doesn’t sound right when I say that either. 43” is big. I just meant for how hard it fought :) felt even bigger!
Glad to see the ice fishing videos starting up. Gets me hyped up for hardwater season!
It's coming!

They are so much fun!!
What a fight!!!🤘🤘🎣🎣 gotta love the feeling you get when ya get a tank on the end of your line. Sweet! Gorgeous Laker. AMAAAAAAAZING❤❤❤ CONGRATULATIONS
Excellent vid!! Brilliant idea to get late ice vids out early this year when everybody has the itch !! Thanks so much 👍👍🐟🐟
Better to put them out early ice than late ice, when no one is fishing it anymore...
The Laker King 👑 👑 👑 Big fan of all your content! New favourite saying while setting the hook.
Schick em
And
Stick em.
Fantastic fish!
Love it!!!

It's cool to see ice fishing videos well before ice is in. Thanks Clayton!
Ice is coming!!

I will try to add more stuff like this in the future!
I've been excited for hard water since June. You're my favorite fishing channel and this really gets me going. That laker was a tanker.
Appreciate you watching a lot!!
You're the man clayton, much love as always. Very much appreciate how you take such amazing care of the fish and set a good example! I wish you another epic ice season!
Excellent!!!! You know with a stinger rig…. You’d catch every single one of those youngsters! But I’d sure hate to see that pig get the treble!!!
Yup! Sums it up right there!
I'm a boring commentor but I'll do it for your algorithim... Love Ice Fishing lakers and you are great to watch doing it... You put me on Baker's Narrows from past video's and I love that place so thanks for all you do...
I appreciate the comment and for following along :). Bakers is a great place!!

What a fish! Another great video, Clayton! I can't wait for the ice!
Won’t be long!! Cheers!
Man Clayton you sure know how to get someone pumped for ice fishing. Great fish
Heck ya!! It’s coming!!
What a day... All the small fish makes the tie go by.. 43" WOW what a monster beautiful fish. Great video keep them coming 😊..
Was a great fish!
I once caught the same pike 3 different times in the same area.. 28 inch pike missing half his tail. It's so cool when that happens 😊❤
That's awesome!
I can't wait for your ice fishing adventures and content this coming season. Very much enjoyed them all last season
Tank of a Laker, awesome! Wont be long now and we will be back on the ice.
Great to see some more ice fishing videos !!
You know it!!
Dude! Absolutely insane! Awesome fish.
Was a fun fish!!

When you said big, I was like wow, ok it's gonna be a big one. But when you pulled it out of the water... I was NOT ready to see the GIANT it was!!
I bout jumped outta my skin seein a new vid up!! Best sat night!
Yes!! :)
Lake trout are the coolest! 🔥 another killer vid, Clayton!
Awesome video Clayton😉
You have just kicked started my ice fishing season. Great 43” laker and released😉
I tryed Dinner Bell spoons last year and i found the trebble often hooks up inside bell slot upside down😢
Have you noticed this too happening?
Keep on making lakers ice videos🎉
Well that has me
pumped!!! A few weeks b4 the hard stuff but all gear is now checked
and ready to go!
Will be watching all season, tight lines to all…
I appreciate it very much!!
Awesome video man I can’t wait for the ice here in Wisconsin gonna get some big walleye this season
Love me some big ice walleye! :)
Beautiful fish! Love seeing the ice fishing video’s starting to pop up.
It’s almost time!!
Awesome Video Clayton! Can't wait for first ice . In a month or so now, stay safe everyone
DAMN IT CLAYTON! I shouldn't be fishing, have so much to do ....but now im thinking Lake Trout might be fun coming up this week. Live near Lake Huron, we have dome dandies, jigging from kayaks. Fun, fun, fun! Always love your vids and passion! Keep it up.
😮 that was a " SLOB"
Never doubted for a second that you would end up connecting.
Was a good one!!
Hey Clayton I was wondering what kind of head unit you are running for your garmin. I was thinking of upgrading not sure what to get
HOLY CANOLIE CLAYTON !!! 43"? How much does that weigh? What a hog. Great vid. More please.
I’m so excited for ice fishing season
love watching the livescope!!! great stuff. and thats one beast of a fish!!!
Thank you for watching it!
Ahh, ice fishing videos are so tempting! I’ll be on the ice next week or the week after!
If you want a giant blade bait for big lakers try a Fuzzy Duzzit. It's a musky jigging bait but is a really good big laker bait too
“Only 43 inches” lol. You the man Clayton!
HAH!... I kinda meant just for how heavy it was :)
Hog Alert!! Great video man.
Yup!! BIG ONE!
love the video!, I wish there was more lakes for lake trout around Calgary!
Clayton over here catchin blimps😂
Trying :)
Only 43....TANK!!!!! I know when you're arms are shaking and you can barely hold it out it is a giant! Awesome!
Only 43 sounded really bad haha :).
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors not at all man you're in the moment there. I'm sure by the weight you were thinking it would be longer. Good stuff, ice is on the way!
@@BobbersDown that’s exactly what happened when I said only 43. Hope all is well my friend!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors life is good, hope it is for you as well. Keep those lines tight!
This word gets thrown around too much but, that battle with that tank 43 was EPIC! Excited to see what you hook into thisnciming winter. Hopefully see you next weekend in Wpg.
Wow what a beast!, great fight, I felt nervous there for you!
I was for sure nervous as the fight was on!
Heck yeah 👍 just came inside from getting my gear together to chase perch and crappie tomorrow. If you can spare any luck I might need it!
Sending my horseshoe your way!’
Amazing fight on that Laker Clayton 🎉
Cheers!
Wow ! Great landing of that beast , cheers !
Cheers!!
Wow that's a big girl. Great video!
Dude finally im so ready for ice fishing season to be here!!!

@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors first year with livescope!! I'm not missing a single day this year!!
Man we just are having our first few nights below freezing in SW Wisconsin. Looks like you have 2 feet of ice already.
Great video, Awesome fish👍
That was filmed early April in 2023 :)
i love fishing!!!!
To be honest im not super stoked for ice. But this video has me jacked up! Nice fish Clayton!
Im ok with this :). Trust me I miss open water and my boat more than anything. :)
CSO!! The best channel, not gunna lie, pumped to get out on the ice!🎣🧊
Yes!! Won’t be long!
Stoked to see what you have in store this upcoming ice season! You were a big inspiration for me to start my own channel recently out here in Utah! Thanks for getting the ice fishing juices going early!

HAH! heck ya! Cheers!
Now that’s how you get a guy pumped for hard water laker season !!!

Cant wait to hook a good one. I've never encountered a big one. I don't have many options close to home 😕.
Hope you crush a big one!
Congrats on another giant.What type of heater are you running?You probably have mentioned it on other videos im guessing.Cant wait for your newest first ice video.Thanks for all your great info
Clayton you need to buy a mini Medusa and catch a laker on it!
Another amazing video! That fish was a tank!!!!!! I’m super excited for the ice season to start…on a side note, did you start using a new heater? It looks different than the typical big heater buddy.
Looks like the 18,000btu heat hog
Would like to see how you would cook one of those eater lakers!
Clayton !! What a pig!! 🔥🔥🔥love it!
Was a big one!!
I'm so excited for ice fishing I could bounce off the walls but like I told you in the other video I'm injured and the last thing I need is to fall off a wall 😂
Haha!! Ya maybe don’t bounce :)
Awsome Footage! YEAHHH BABY!😂
Cheers!
Another great video Clayton
Wow… that fish is huge!
Was a big one!!
Cool that youve already got ice ?! I live down in south Sweden pretty warm theirs asses on mopeds out still .
Theres snow coming down around the Arctic. Ir le back home but thats in the North . Hope Youl catch anything
Its fun that you use those mid 1990:flying lures its hillarious atleast for me aaahah :)
My boy is 10, he can't wait to hit lake okoboji and nail some biggins. Neither can I, 2024 ice season, here we go!
Sounds amazing!!
Best fishing vids I've seen 👌
Thanks for the kind words!
I blame you for my ice fishing purchases today, and I also thank you! Haha Can't wait to be on the ice. Always look forward to your videos. 🤘🏼
You are welcome :) BUT what did you buy?
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors Grabbed a new Frostbite rod and hoody. Then had to get a new line, along with some other odds and ends.
Love it! @@russellingaroundoutdoors
You should do a video on how to properly winterize a boat at home
I will put that on the list for next fall!
Should try gitzit tubes ! Best out there especially for lakers here in Colorado 🤘
Pig of a laker! Canadian Lake Trout is on my bucket list. I was wondering what kind of rod case you use? Great videos Clayton!
When do you know when to upsize or downside tube size? Like if you are catching a lot of small fish or not getting bites at all?
Lol even had me breathing hard nice job ❤
Cheers!
Have you ever fished New England area of the US? Do you think they act similar?
Hopefully I'll get to do lakers up north someday! Have all these suckers that I'm trying to get rid of.
You need to go do it my friend!!
Only lake trout I ever hooked was exactly like that one Clayton had bite 3 times. I’d drop down he bite I’d lose him I’d drop down he’d bite I’d set the hook then lose him. I’d drop down 3rd time he’d bite I’d really set the hook then I lost him again. It was extremely frustrating
That's a Hippo Lake Trout!!! lol
Clayton, What length of pole are you using for your ice fishing ducer setup? and what length would you recommend?
Two days in a row with a Clayton video?? I had to check my calendar that it was October still and not Christmas!
Haha!! I think it’s a couple days apart :). But more to come from this series. 6 more videos!! 😊
Awesome video as always!
Cheers!!
You sure know how to get us spending them ice fishing dollars early ehh buddy!!!
I've been looking at sleds all sumer hahaha
Haha!! I try my best :). Cheers!!
Good fish dude
Nice !
Nice
Nice work. What a fish! Can’t believe those dinks will eat a spoon that big. Never seen that happen here. What about the Williams spoons? Had good luck with those it seems
Those would work too I am sure :).
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors tubes are definitely my go to though. 4in seems to work best around here. I don’t live in the land of the giant lake trout. State record is 39lbs 44 in. But that’s definitely an anomaly
@@TheJesse1515 big lakers will eat small baits too 100%.
What?! 😮Where is this.? We still have water lol!
The Man!!!
You mean the "Donkey" :)
The best time of the year is back!!!
Yes it is!!
Hey I got a bunch of tube’s from send it do you do something with yours to make them more pliable? Love the tubes just seem stiff
Just use as is :)
Exciting ❤✌️👍
Yes!!
Hell yea!!! How thick the ice this time of year?
Was like 4 feet
What is the fish finder set up used? My fiancé wants this for Xmas 🙏🏻
another beauty from my brotha from anotha motha. 👊
cool catch in the lake trout congratulations and i subscribed to your channle
Thanks for subbing! Cheers!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors your welcome
Are you going to do the game of inches again ?
Sadly no... Some of the teams did not want to do it...
Would love to know how much that fish weighed
