Great shot of the pole being pulled into the hole. Pretty amusing. Had more going on than you could handle. The fish were definitely winning the early rounds.
Dude, you were getting destroyed there for a while. My favorite was the loose pole you left sitting there, and down she went, lol Looks like it paid off big time in the end though. I wish we had fish like that ice fishing where I live.
that rod going down the hole reminded me of the time when I was little and we had a tip up set only 15 feet from where we were jigging and when the tip up flag went up we raced over to it. then when we started pulling in the "fish" we thought it was a small one and was foul hooked cause it wasn't fighting back but we felt resistance. we get it it pulled in and we find my dads rod on the other end!

Amazing to see my original comment 3 years ago. This is probably the first video I saw of yours and now it is up to 3.6M Views! Congrats. Just watched again. For some reason this is a really enjoyable video.
That set up with the little poles seems like a bad system to me, I use small 28" ice fishing rods with reels, a lot easier to real in your catch with the drag set just right.Just my opinion!
I agree but I never remember to buy one and when I do remember the store I end up going to wont have what I am looking for so I just use what works for me lol. Thank you. Joe
I was going to say what Dave said. Why the hell are you fishing like that? In Northern Ontario Canada, it's the short rod and reel. Get with the program Joe! Just kidding but, I think you will like that a lot more!
great video. I had to laugh at the rod going down the hole, A buddy of mine lost a ice rod and reel down a hole a few yrs back. he put his aqua-vu down the same hole and found it and was able to snag it with a jigging spoon.
When your pole went down the hole I thought" yeah I've done that" and when you caught the first northern I was screaming " shut the hole" cause the way your luck was going he was gonna do the fish flop and be gone! Lol you did good, man I miss ice fishing, thanks for taking us along.
Got to admit, when the rod went down the hole, I laughed out loud !!! Nothing like getting schooled and then regrouping and working on them !!! Great video.

When they're snapping the line and stealing the pole they must be some big lunkers. Glad you caught your limit. Enjoyed the video Joe. Thanks for posting. When you say ice fishing I think of Grumpy old Men and Grumpier old Men. Great movies.
How nice!!! man some people just can not apreciate fishing. It is such a nice past time. Thank you for the Video man, I really enjoyed, down in The Dominican Republic.
Thank you slitwood for the nice comment. I ignore most of the bad ones, it seems no matter what a person does everyone has something to say, its just nice when they have something good to say. Thanks again. Joe
Have to give you a thumbs up on this Joe. Many folks would have edited that part where the fish got your pole but not you. Good sportsmanship there. Not only that, you too the time to cook up that Northern, Damn, with I had been there. Well done!
Brian thibodeau you're an idiot, I meant the way you have to catch fish while you're ice fishing, I live in texas, and I use a bigger rod, plus I'm not limited to just a small hole in the ground/ice, I should've been more specific, I always forget there's bitches like you on youtube.
that is NOT the way to catch fish through the ice, many wrong things done in this video, but its having fun that counts, this guys is way under-equipped though. Pike are mostly ice fished with tip-ups or rod & reel combos made for the ice, shorter/smaller than a summer rod, I live and fish in Minnesota, don't think I have ever see someone pike fish with 2 jiggle sticks lol, he would NEVER land a very large fish on that gear.
I'm not trying to be a jerk but if you allow a fish to take the rod in the water you probably should consider only using one rod. I hate to know that a fish is dragging around a rod until it probably dies because of it.
Daniel Copps its part of the game, plenty of people have lost fishing poles this same way. you are legally allowed 2 rods per person and that is exactly how we fish, if you ice fish enough you may lose a rod as well.
That fish is crippled by having to drag a rod behind it for a very long time (the rest of it's life if you used stainless hooks). Any fisherman worth his own will hold the health of the fish in highest regard. Besides that: thanks for uploading the video and sharing your fishing experience with us!
thank you for sharing. Made me want to go out and get some more gear. It wasn't always right but that's what fishing is about. Appreciate the video. Keep sharing please.
That sucks that you lost a pole. I was hoping to see you bring up a northern and it would have your other pole still attached. lol. Another great video.
Fun videos, classic old school jig stick action. Love the double bobber set up. The rod going down one hole while trying to catch one in the other hole is priceless footage. I have been to "the lake" several times, fun panfish lake. I never really gave much attention to the pike, but maybe I will next time I'm out there. Good video for the non-ice fisherman to just see what it's all about.
+Alex Ososkalo I just fish the way I always have. When I was a kid and went ice fishing with my Dad they didnt even have ice rods with reels. I just have never done it any other way. Plus its fun. Thanks Alex. Joe
+JoeandZachSurvival for sure get yourself a rod with a reel and some heavier line haha. dont know how the fuck I ended up on this video either! good job!
Yum! Well done Joe. I love crappies.. I can eat a zillion of them. (well, maybe not) Northerns? I never have really been fond of them. Bones, bones, bones, and mean mouth of those swimmers. They looked good though on your plate. Thanks for sharing with us once again.
Ice fishing, to me is more fun than summer time fishing. Waiting for those flags and making a dash for the hole watching that spindle with the line flying off, then set the hook and feel the tension as you pull your catch through the ice. That is something the summer just doesn't have. Then I like to go outside and cook my fish and potatoes , a nice cool one, good as it gets.
Dude....wtf. Seriously, invest in some tipups with 40lb bankline and a 20lb leader. Forget the bobbers. Pike are not genius fish, they'll bite a bait tied to 550 paracord if it looks tasty.
by letting the fish run a short distance you won't loose as many pike . you are pulling the hook right out of its mouth. the fight is the best part,slow down and enjoy fishing
Great Respect for you, unlike so many 'Fishing babies' you don't take things too seriously, plus no bad language when you lost your rod. Really enjoyed your video ! ! !
+Moritz Schulz I don't think they 'freeze' to death, especially when the water is colder than outside. There use to the cold. They lack O2 exchange so they must suffocate. I would go out there and give them tons of bait without the hook
At 3:31 into the video I laughed my ass off. Man that was funny. Lord knows if ya ever done a lot of ice fishin that's happened to just about everyone! Darn nice pike too!
***** When my Daughter Sara was 5 years old she lost a pole when we were fishing for Crappies. The next weekend some people we knew were fishing in a fish house maybe 50 feet away from where mine was (it was not a portable at that time) they caught a fish and attached to it was Sara's pole she lost. She is 26 now and that pole sits on my fireplace mantel. Thank you for the nice comment. Joe
lol @ 3:25 hilarious. nice fishing, I think you pulled the fish up too fast the first time which ripped the hook from their mouth, would love to try this sometime, but I don't live near any cold climate
What a small world, I'm watching your video in mid June missing ice fishing. All along I'm like I know this guy. Well I don't know you but this past winter I watched your back woods cabin series.. Nice fish in both videos.
Thanks for the great video! Those were some beautiful fish and even more beautiful after being fired!! Sorry abut the pole, but when you get a fish biting, the blood starts to flow and things get excited. One good point, you knew the fish was biting in both holes!! Take care friend and may GOD bless you and your family always. Hope you make some more f these videos!!
I am an avid hard water angler. Really enjoyed your video. Hilarious when your rod flew down the hole. Not that you lost the gear, only that things were going crazy on you and it was basically a no brainer that was inevitable. Lol. Love all your videos. True outdoorsman. Keep up the good work.
+Jaki あほ no I thought it was in the mid summer. could atleast club them over the head instead of letting them sit to there deaths. I beat the fuck out a lot of anglers for that bullshit. there scum.
This is the slickest fishing video share, the editing and camera work keeps it moving through all the fun and frustration. Other fisherman agree. Of course we're all from the Pacific Northwest, not much ice fishin, but fish on ! Is the same all over the world
Hi love ur ice vids 1 tip if u don't want the minnow to take a bobber down just take a sharp knife and trim the tail to where there is just a little bit of tail left so the minnow can swim around
Set up a reel that is suspended above the hole from overhead with fly casting line that is tangle free, with a leader of monofilament 3 feet long at the bottom. Use a large, single bobber that clips onto the fly casting line. You get a better hand hold on the fly casting line than the monofilament so you can set your hook better. Consider using a lure with treble hooks for northerns as well. Swedish Pimple lures work well for this. The benefit of having the lines suspended over the holes is if you get two fish on at the same time, you can just let the other line wait while you reel in the first one. Back when I lived in MN, I lost a pole like that to a large sunfish when they were really biting and since the lake ice was clear with no snow on it I was able to spot the pole, and drill a hole to retrieve the pole. The fish was still on!
I'm sorry but that was just hilarious when the fish took your pole XD
Games On Quack I laughed my ass off too!
Yep 🤣
I watch these old ones once a year I think. Love the beginning
Great shot of the pole being pulled into the hole. Pretty amusing. Had more going on than you could handle. The fish were definitely winning the early rounds.
Great video mate, watching the clip here in Australia now its summer and 39°c (102°f) helps cool things cool down!
Cheers
Dude, you were getting destroyed there for a while. My favorite was the loose pole you left sitting there, and down she went, lol Looks like it paid off big time in the end though. I wish we had fish like that ice fishing where I live.
Yeah
+HardWired417 when that pole went in the water i was cracking up. like this poor s.o.b. has no idea what hes doing. he did redeem himself though.

I have not been ice fishing since I was a teenager, no safe ice to fish down here. Thank you for sharing, great video..
This video reminds me of a favorite movie, Grumpy Old Man. Looks like fun.
debra bolton Its always a fun time. Thank you. Joe
LOL...when I saw that rod get sucked into the hole I just about lost it...it looks like a ton of fun...great fishing very nice fish!!!
Why don't you use a reel?
Love that you are fishing old school with no electronics and dead stick hand over hand!
Amazing to see my original comment 3 years ago. This is probably the first video I saw of yours and now it is up to 3.6M Views! Congrats. Just watched again. For some reason this is a really enjoyable video.

JoeandZachSurvival you should buy a small rod and reel, i would enjoy watching you reel it in
I was going to say what Dave said. Why the hell are you fishing like that? In Northern Ontario Canada, it's the short rod and reel. Get with the program Joe! Just kidding but, I think you will like that a lot more!
Grate video I laughed so hard when the fish Stoll your rod. haha
great video. I had to laugh at the rod going down the hole, A buddy of mine lost a ice rod and reel down a hole a few yrs back. he put his aqua-vu down the same hole and found it and was able to snag it with a jigging spoon.
Reminds me of the old Bill Dance blooper vids. Great video and at least you got the last laugh JoeandZachSurvival
Dude vexilars are awesome and they have rods with reels now lol!
The sight of the rod flying down the hole was pretty funny. Hope it was inexpensive!
I can't believe this video has over 2 million views, I remember when it first came out ha-ha congratulations
📨🎉🎎🎌🎏📨🎂📍📆📆📐✉🎌🔭🐇🐺
lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that pole going in the hole made me lose it with laughter....that was freaking funny....he gone lolol
Keep fishing, you might catch the one that took your pole...with the hook, line and pole in tow, haha.
When your pole went down the hole I thought" yeah I've done that" and when you caught the first northern I was screaming " shut the hole" cause the way your luck was going he was gonna do the fish flop and be gone! Lol you did good, man I miss ice fishing, thanks for taking us along.
the sound he makes when he pulls the fish in 😂
Got to admit, when the rod went down the hole, I laughed out loud !!! Nothing like getting schooled and then regrouping and working on them !!! Great video.
lol @ 3:26 !!!!!

Nice catch but was funny how it took the rod lol
Cool. Never seen ice fishing before, looks fun.
How nice!!! man some people just can not apreciate fishing. It is such a nice past time. Thank you for the Video man, I really enjoyed, down in The Dominican Republic.
Too funny, man what a tough start. Great video, thanks for sharing!
Awesome :)
Good luck and have fun your next fishings...
How nice is your cosy little ice shack setup. I bet that would make it so much fun. Andysfishing
Great video Joe.Enjoy watching them with kids.
Ignore the negative comments, as they say"people who live in glass houses should not throw rocks".
Thank you slitwood for the nice comment. I ignore most of the bad ones, it seems no matter what a person does everyone has something to say, its just nice when they have something good to say. Thanks again. Joe
Has anyone ever considered tying a string to the pole?
Sooo there's a fish down there with a pole attached to him....?
Yes, if you catch it I want my pole back LOL
I've been on that lake, it's a busy one! I enjoyed your video....I couldn't help but laugh when your pole went down the hole! Thanks for sharing!
Man that lake has to look like Swiss cheese with that many people out there...
Have to give you a thumbs up on this Joe. Many folks would have edited that part where the fish got your pole but not you. Good sportsmanship there. Not only that, you too the time to cook up that Northern, Damn, with I had been there. Well done!
why r u using a thin line and hook
+Trey Evans its 20lb test
Absolutely awesome video! Love the pole going down the hole!
Ice fishing seems pretty cool, but I would hate to catch something this way.
that's how you catch fish dumb ass

alexis espino hell yeah ain't nothing like gulf Coast fishing! Corpus to be exact! Tight lines buddy fuck ice fishing looks boring
Really cool. Thanks for having me along.
Why not use small ice fishing pole n salmon bobber

Always wanted to ice fish. I have caught Muskie in Rhinelander Wisconsin but think that ice fishing would be fun! Thanks for sharing.

really tell me the last time you went fishing then

Besides that: thanks for uploading the video and sharing your fishing experience with us!
He was probably a pike not a helpless fish like a bass meaning he would snap the line and go on with his life probably js
thank you for sharing. Made me want to go out and get some more gear. It wasn't always right but that's what fishing is about. Appreciate the video. Keep sharing please.
hahaha good fishing man right on. hilarious video too, shit happens eh
That sucks that you lost a pole. I was hoping to see you bring up a northern and it would have your other pole still attached. lol. Another great video.
maybe he should have put the word out... free beers to anyone catching a fish with my rod still attached!!!!
tiredmummy they would have ran when he told them it was boxer beer
that was awesome good job, I just couldn't stop laughing when that rod jumped in the water.
LOL at 3:31 :D
Ahahahahah :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

+JoeandZachSurvival for sure get yourself a rod with a reel and some heavier line haha.
dont know how the fuck I ended up on this video either! good job!
I agree
Thanks for leaving in the bit where your rig went down the hole. I had a good laugh. Some days that's just how things go.
dude just get a bigger bobber.
Yum! Well done Joe. I love crappies.. I can eat a zillion of them. (well, maybe not) Northerns? I never have really been fond of them. Bones, bones, bones, and mean mouth of those swimmers. They looked good though on your plate.

Pike are very good pickled, I could never get all the bones out either.
Hahaha the fucking pole went into the water😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Looks like shit from a movie

+JoeandZachSurvival stop you from loosing so much fish and stop you from loosing rods.
+Matthew Filla the challenge of keeping your fishing poles
+misesmedicine LOL LOL LOL aint that the truth.
Ok I am moving on up to Minnesota for sure now despite the cold ....nice fishing and catching man ! LOL
by letting the fish run a short distance you won't loose as many pike . you are pulling the hook right out of its mouth. the fight is the best part,slow down and enjoy fishing
He has old school poles there is no drag
Great Respect for you, unlike so many 'Fishing babies' you don't take things too seriously, plus no bad language when you lost your rod. Really enjoyed your video ! ! !
Why does he just throw the fish on the ice instead of smashing it's head that it hasn't to suffer?
Death by freezing is an near painless death
Mh mh you have to know that.
+Moritz Schulz I don't think they 'freeze' to death, especially when the water is colder than outside. There use to the cold. They lack O2 exchange so they must suffocate. I would go out there and give them tons of bait without the hook
+binthrdonthat As the water is not frozen under the ice, I highly doubt that its colder than the freezing air.
no suffering on the ice and why ugly your catch
Wow Joe! Looks like a great day! 2 great days in a row.
Ice fishing is an excuse to get away from the wife and to drink lots of whiskey.
At 3:31 into the video I laughed my ass off. Man that was funny. Lord knows if ya ever done a lot of ice fishin that's happened to just about everyone! Darn nice pike too!

JoeandZachSurvival That's a great story. I have seen her up at the Tent in your videos. You seem to young to have such a grown up girl.
Did anyone notice that every fish he gets he does sexual noises 😂
Maybe it turns me on.
Yes i notice it😂
+SweSize Lol I was like wait a minute😂
Ye😂👌🏽
I am from MN too and a girl, never knew fishing---ice fishing was thus interesting. I'm loving ALL your videos so far!
low your speaker that someone might tinking you ar waching porn
Why would I care if someone thought I was watching porn?
nice on
Woops, Fishing pole go bye bye, Fish won, Congratulations xD This deserves a like!
ewww, you put salad on your dressing!
lol @ 3:25 hilarious. nice fishing, I think you pulled the fish up too fast the first time which ripped the hook from their mouth, would love to try this sometime, but I don't live near any cold climate
Nice video. If every one of those village dwellers does half as good as you did, that lake must have a lot of fish fodder in it.
What a small world, I'm watching your video in mid June missing ice fishing. All along I'm like I know this guy. Well I don't know you but this past winter I watched your back woods cabin series..
Nice fish in both videos.
Pretty slick setup you have there! Never tried ice fishing myself but it looks like fun. Thanks for the video
Sandstorm9562 Thank you. Another week or so and the ice should be thick enough to get out this year.
Thanks for the great video! Those were some beautiful fish and even more beautiful after being fired!! Sorry abut the pole, but when you get a fish biting, the blood starts to flow and things get excited. One good point, you knew the fish was biting in both holes!! Take care friend and may GOD bless you and your family always. Hope you make some more f these videos!!
Wow, I am new to your channel but I already love it. I would love to try ice fishing some day.
I am an avid hard water angler. Really enjoyed your video. Hilarious when your rod flew down the hole. Not that you lost the gear, only that things were going crazy on you and it was basically a no brainer that was inevitable. Lol. Love all your videos. True outdoorsman. Keep up the good work.
so much for catch and release. that's what makes it fun. future fishing. good video BTW.
+Marcy Mawn To be fair, ice fishing is normally done in cold remote areas. Fishing for his dinner is justified.
+Jaki あほ no I thought it was in the mid summer. could atleast club them over the head instead of letting them sit to there deaths. I beat the fuck out a lot of anglers for that bullshit. there scum.
Marcy Mawn don't they survive out of water for hours?
+Jaki あほ no brother there a very fragile fish along with muskie. have to be delicate especially with the larger ones.
Marcy Mawn ah fair enough then. I'm used to more common warmer water fish which are a lot tougher by the sounds of it.
Awesome video!!! It's a shame you lost your pole.Keep the videos coming. I really enjoy them, Thanks
Cool setup. Never seen a setup like that but then again I’ve never been ice fishing lol
awesome video!!! the fish taking the pole is cool as hell !!! love it!!!
That was really, really entertaining! Never felt this urge for ice fishing before.
This is the slickest fishing video share, the editing and camera work keeps it moving through all the fun and frustration. Other fisherman agree. Of course we're all from the Pacific Northwest, not much ice fishin, but fish on ! Is the same all over the world
Thank you, what a great comment. I ice fish, fresh water fish, brackish water fish and salt water fish. It is all AWESOME. Thanks again. Joe
Lots of excitement there. Great video.
Hi love ur ice vids 1 tip if u don't want the minnow to take a bobber down just take a sharp knife and trim the tail to where there is just a little bit of tail left so the minnow can swim around
Omg! Lol I’m 4:32 into the video and wondering if this is your first time ice fishing... something you’d see in a Bob & Doug McKenzie movie 🍿
hope I can go there someday.. .. such a nice fishing.. . .
Awesome
Well done
Great stuff
Great catch
Great video
That's looks like fun
That's awesome
Love ya work
Thanks for sharing another great day of fishing with us!
Set up a reel that is suspended above the hole from overhead with fly casting line that is tangle free, with a leader of monofilament 3 feet long at the bottom. Use a large, single bobber that clips onto the fly casting line. You get a better hand hold on the fly casting line than the monofilament so you can set your hook better. Consider using a lure with treble hooks for northerns as well. Swedish Pimple lures work well for this. The benefit of having the lines suspended over the holes is if you get two fish on at the same time, you can just let the other line wait while you reel in the first one. Back when I lived in MN, I lost a pole like that to a large sunfish when they were really biting and since the lake ice was clear with no snow on it I was able to spot the pole, and drill a hole to retrieve the pole. The fish was still on!
Braided line works just fine, too.
Great video man and don't mean to be rude but when that pole went in the water I lost it 😂😅
I got abnormally warm this morning ...around -20 I think....damn MN living has it's costs. lol
Thanks for sharing, as always.
Beautiful fish. I'd like to try this one day
I think it is about time I start ice fishing. Nice fish! I was like "oh shoot" when your pole went in the hole.
Joe, did you want a little Salad with your Dressing ? haha great video !
If you can taste the lettuce its not a salad hahaha. Thank you. joe
hahaha i'll remember that ! lol
Those last shots made my mouth water.
Enjoyed the video. Thanks for posting.
