Thanks for stopping by. My apologies for the blueish tint-camera settings somehow got messed up that morning and I didn't catch it in time! Also, never reel while the fish is peeling drag!!
Nice trout Darren! Sure nice to be on the ice again isn't it! Hope you have a safe and successful hardwater season! If you're ever in MN shoot me a message.
Dang that shaft on that auger is long. Does ice actually get that thick out there where u need that shaft? That is a nice fish, the master for rainbow is the same here in CO. 24"
Lol yeah we get up to 4 feet of ice on some lakes, I just haven’t taken the extension off from last winter! Thanks man, our master threshold is actually 20” for Rainbows so I was crazy pumped about this one!
I messed up and commented after the first fish... now I'm seeing that you have were bagging multiples. Great day man, and I am loving that ap. Makes me wonder if maybe we could come up with a Gulf Coast version of it and make millions of dollars... hmmm...
Jaw jackers look cool I have the old antique flags lol I need to take a trip up north from me we don’t get safe ice here . This first fish is a epic fight
8 inches of ice and you already have the extension on? Do you just leave it on? I've never needed one where I've fished, though occasionally northern Wisconsin gets ice as thick as 4 feet and they need extensions up there. Down by me I think the thickest I've seen the ice get is 2 foot and usually doesn't get over a foot and a half thick. We had ice here for a week or two in November but now we're waiting again!
congrats on that pb rainbow... sweet fish...shout out to Manitoba for providing a great Master Angler program and slot limits to protect their fisheries... our state fisheries are so slow to catch on when it comes to protecting our fisheries... so much "fill the freezer with the largest fishes possible" mentality going on leaves many bodies of water pointless to fish for years here in the USA
You’re reeling against your drag... it’s way too loose. I understand you don’t want to lose him but reeling a against your drag will just twist your line really bad and then that’s when she breaks :)
Yeah I really wish I could have a do over with that fish! Lol there were a few reasons I debated not posting the footage and this was definitely one of them! Let’s chalk this one up to first fish of the season jitters🤷🏻♂️😂! Thanks for the comment Clayton 🤛
Makes me want to get out ice fishing so bad! Another month here in New York and the ice should be good! Great video and good luck the rest of the season!
Hey man! Heading to bower on Saturday, been to bower a couple times and haven’t had any luck have any tips for that lake where to drill holes? Thanks in advance!
Funny. Got your reply as I was sitting in that exact spot. My wife got her first master rainbow 👍 caught a couple others. One almost a master. Missed about 5 other hits. Decent morning 🎣
Loved this ice fishing video, Darren. That was an insane fight, I’m so glad you landed it. Congratulations on your PB and master angler. Huge 👍from the North. Adrian
Holy smokes! Beauty rainbows buddy! So pumped for you! Secretly jealous haha Definitely a master angler on the bucket list Might see you out there sometime Cheers
Haha, thanks dude! You should definitely get after the Rainbows! And hey, send me a message in Insta or FB if you are ever interested in fishing together!

lol all good Stanley! Bet an app like this would work great down there, just LMK when you need a consultant 😉😂
Jaw jackers look cool I have the old antique flags lol I need to take a trip up north from me we don’t get safe ice here . This first fish is a epic fight
Yeah the Jacker is pretty sweet! lol cmon up man, I'll get you on the ice!

Lol I never took it off from last year! I definitely needed it late last winter!
I have seen up to 13” already this winter!
what a beautiful fish. That's one to be proud of for sure.. Congrats on the PB
Thanks man, yeah sure was fun!
Great catch buddy, the fight was well worth it.
Thanks dude! Yeah the fight was freakin amazing!
Huge trout man holy crap! Absolutely beautiful. And that app is so awesome. I wish we had that man
Yeah that app is pretty sweet! Thanks dude!

Thanks man! Yeah this program has sure made for some amazing fishing here in Manitoba! Most of the lakes are actually regulated individually.
Wow, you took a TON of photos of that fish! :-)
lol, gotta get it right
you fucking Canadians are so polite hahahaha love it man! Got on the ICE today!
lol! You catch some?
14 inch Goldeye is a master angler?!?!?! holy shit man...come to Montanahahaha
Haha Yep! I would love to come to Montana one day!
Interesting that your Master Angler entries are in inches rather than centimeters, eh?
Lol! They actually have the option for either measurement.
Darren! You shold know to never grab the line buddy! Just slap the body! Nice job staying calm and fighting that fish. What a awesome episode!
Lol yeah got a bit flustered with this one😂! Thanks dude!
After that half day fight, you could end the video....🤣🤣🤣 there was enough action.
Lol true! Thanks bud!

Darren's Northern Life it’s all about learning :).
Yeah it sure is!
That’s a pretty sweet app for Master Angler entries! Awesome fish and video Darren!
Thanks man! I was stoked to catch my PB trout on camera 🤓
Makes me want to get out ice fishing so bad! Another month here in New York and the ice should be good! Great video and good luck the rest of the season!
Double Down Fishing
Me too. Never caught a rainbow or steelhead through the ice, hoping this is the year.
Lol you should come up here for some ice fishing! Thanks man, tight lines!
Hey man! Heading to bower on Saturday, been to bower a couple times and haven’t had any luck have any tips for that lake where to drill holes? Thanks in advance!
I’m so sorry but I just saw your comment now. How did you do?
I haven’t fished Bower yet so I wouldn’t have been able to help you out though anyways
Man those were some studs, congratulations guys! Awesome video brother, that ice fishing looks like a heck of a great time!
Thanks man! lol you gotta come up for some ice fishing soon!
I need more info on how you're catching those trout
Cmon up and I’ll show you😜! JK, we were just dead sticking small tube jigs and the hair jig Ryan showed. Super simple!
Great job guys, that fight was awesome. They do love the darkness don’t they?
Thanks dude! Yeah they sure do!
Way to go Darren! Man that was a really nice trout! Awesome job. I thought you had a tarpon there for a minute man.👍👍
Thanks dude! Lol that fish fought like a tarpon!
That for sure was the most epic ice fishing fight I've ever seen! Woo!, that Master Angler Program is showing great results.
Haha yeah this was probably my best fight ever! The program really works well! Thanks man!
Ice was thick enough no ice yet here can’t wait to go out. The fight was on that day it’s all right if they get off at the hole got to see them 👍
Yeah the ice was 8 inches thick on that lake. Lol sucked to see em come off at the hole but is still worth it! Thanks man!
Great video 👍 I’m heading there tomorrow. What shocked me the most was you having 3300 unread emails 😳😂
Thanks, good luck!
lol, yeah I got a little behind on them!
Funny. Got your reply as I was sitting in that exact spot. My wife got her first master rainbow 👍 caught a couple others. One almost a master. Missed about 5 other hits. Decent morning 🎣
@@victoreiriksson6165 haha nice
Lol Yup. Nice to get out. She was reeling it in and I said “now don’t reel while the fishing is taking drag!” Haha 😆
@@victoreiriksson6165 oh boy, lol yeah I don’t know what I was thinking there🤦♂️🤯
Dude, that was one heck of a trout! What a fight! Light line too, or heavier pound test?
Yeah it sure was! Lol was surprised to get it in on 6pound test!
Loved this ice fishing video, Darren. That was an insane fight, I’m so glad you landed it. Congratulations on your PB and master angler. Huge 👍from the North.
Adrian
Thanks Adrian! Lol was sure relieved to get that fish on the ice!
Holy smokes! Beauty rainbows buddy! So pumped for you!
Secretly jealous haha
Definitely a master angler on the bucket list
Might see you out there sometime
Cheers
Haha, thanks dude! You should definitely get after the Rainbows!
And hey, send me a message in Insta or FB if you are ever interested in fishing together!
@@darrensnorthernlife1184 sounds good man! keep up the good work. i got lots to learn from you
Thanks man! You guys are getting it done as well 👍
Dang , missed this one when it came out, awesome rainbow trout Darren. How many Master Angler species have you caught ?
Thanks man, yeah this trout was a blast! I have caught 9 Master Angler species so far in Manitoba, hoping to make that 10 soon!
I like your bibs man! Those trouts are insane. Bet it was fun on rod and reel rather than hand lining a tip up!
Dude I freakin love those bibs! Lol I have never even caught a fish on a tip up yet😂
