Again Great job!!... with everything Joe. Funny how you talk about how great yellow perch is. I'm an avid trout fisherman year round in NH. I actually had the opportunity to try a yellow perch last ice fishing season. I've heard people say they would prefer a yellow perch over a trout any day!..and they're not kidding. I couldn't believe how great that one tasted. Just with basic panko bread crumbs! 😋
Thank you. It’s a surprise to most anglers in the northeast especially here in Maine how tasty they are. We have them everywhere and they are so easy they get overlooked I think.
I don't care what people say about northerns, I love them. Sure, they are boney, but they taste delicious and they put up one hell of a fight.
For sure
I like the rubber band idea. I have been using buttons for years which works pretty decently.
Thanks, Its cheap and easy and can be moved easily or removed easily.
For those Coleman stoves, we stick a small piece of cardboard between the valve knob and the stove to keep the gas flame at a low level. Those valves are all like that, it's either on full blast or completely off.
Awesome great tip thanks.
Yellow Lake Perch are my # 1 favorite fish to eat !!! I've never had any luck catching Pike through the ice on tip-ups ! You given me a couple good ideas to try for next year, so thanks ! You had that one 10 lbs. pike ! Now that was a NICE FISH ! Oh, and I watched your ice fishing bonanza today ! That looked like so much fun ! I wish I could have been there for it ! It felt like I kind of was !!! I'll keep watching your video's because you are one of the nicest person's that I have never met ! L O L
Thank you.
Food tastes best at camp for sure! Love cooking for the boys at bird hunting camp every October. Great video Joe!!
Thank you
Great video. Believe it or not Pike have pretty terrible vision makes sense that most bites come when it’s clear and bright. I’ve had them completely miss lures in the summer to turn around and strike it again.
makes perfect sense thanks.
Glad you're posting again I am from Upstate NY have done lots of Pike fishing my while life maybe you can make a trip up this way sometime do some great pike fishing up here
Id like to do a little travelling and ice fishing combo
Ha ha, funny. White perch are an invasive species in the Great Lakes. When I've fished Green Bay (a tributary of Lake Michigan) and caught white perch in the summer we've always fed those to the seagulls! Their flesh is very similar to white bass and you have to remove that red mud line in them, then they're fine. Yellow perch don't have that red mud line in them and so maybe that's why people in the midwest love yellow perch!
I always love hear the difference from State to State on likes and dislikes.
I love the catch and cook videos!
We have a lake in Idaho you can catch 16”+ perch. So fun to catch.
Holy smokes those are giant!
Great video Joe! Yes, food is always better when cooked outdoors or at camp. No doubt about it!
I thought so, thanks for confirming!
Oh Joe... Missed a golden opportunity to eat a delicious meal of fish. Those little guys are amazing table fare.
For sure, I love eating them, We have so many of them I can get them fresh anytime!
As a Mainer one thing I've never done is Pike fishing. Definitely want to try it at some point
Go for it!
I haven't tried pike through the ice for about 20 yrs sine Lake Attitash, in Amesbury, MA.I was using shiners in the 8+" range, and they were tripping the traps all day. I like the rubber band on the trap holding the line. Looks like I will be trying soon, as well as breaking in my new eskimo 650 with some ice camping. I would add a fire ext to my gear... When I rig my traps, I add a shirt button to the line before I tie on my snap swivel. The button can be moved, just like your rubber band, to remind me where that trap was set. Regardless of how deep/far off bottom, I always leave the button just off the reel. Love watching your ice fishing videos. hope to bump into out there some day. (I won't set up in your pocket, or your old holes.)
Thank you best of luck with the camping and tight lines!
A cooking show is in the future. Nice Egg flips in the intro. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks buddy had to oil em up.
I liked the preview, how to get everyone from standing to close to your hole. Funny how the sound of cracking ice can get a guy moving. Another great video Joe.
That was awesome everyone jumped back!
Another great video Joe. Couldn't agree more that there is nothing better than hot food on the ice. Warms up the belly. Keep the videos coming. Ice is still sketchy here in NH
Thank you, hoping for a deep freeze for you guys soon.
Great vid! I remember my Dad saying everything tastes better out in the bush. So true.
Thank you for sure
Great videos! I love yellow perch - it's a nice sweet fish.
For sure, one of the best tasting fish that swims.
Awesome video! Love seeing videos from here in maine!
Thank you!
Awesome video! I love your trips must be a lot of work to prepare. I drive up from CT almost every weekend and that prep alone is a lot so I can imagine what the camping out prep must me like!! Great job!! Love using the Goldens too!!
Thank you, it’s a lot of work but with the support from the community here it makes it worth it, thank you.
Nice fish fry! Growing up in Maine, I found the most productive ice-fishing times were approximately 8:30 a.m. (the best), 10:30 a.m., and 1:30 p.m. I once caught 5 large, native brook trout in 15 minutes wiggling a half-dead bait off the bottom in 6 feet of water with the last rays of the sun (I also caught one earlier that morning for a total of 6). Usually, only 1 brook trout is caught on this entire lake in the winter. I carried back my fish in my bait bucket and woke my dad from his nap. He said he didn't want to see any bait. But I encouraged him to look at these bait. He was tickled pink. It reminded him of once catching 7 brookies in the same area decades earlier.
great story thanks for sharing.
awesome! we love eating perch in sask!
Awesome, thanks.
Yellow perch are the best thanks for sharing Joe
Thank you
Thanks for another great video. I’m in PA and don’t have any ice yet. Rock bass are plenty here and we don’t like catching them. They are called trash fish here. I tried eating them when the water was warm and they were very fishy tasting . Like largemouth bass. They are much better through the Ice. So nice to be able to watch you get after them.
Thank you! Definitely firm in the winter.
I’m doing my first overnight hub fishing using my UTV in South Dakota. Not sure everyone who enjoys your videos understand what it takes to pack, i.e. sled, food, heat etc…. Your videos are inspiring. Thank you, sir.
For sure, add on the filming stuff and it’s a heavy load and a long list. I love it though, best of luck.
In Lake Erie yellow perch that get caught sell for 20 to 25 dollars a pound. where white perch are the crappier fish that sell for far far less. Yellow perch is the best tasting freshwater fish hands down.
Its amazing the difference state by state on what people like. Thanks for sharing
Another great series so far Joe! I couldn't agree more that all food tastes better when cooked and consumed in the outdoors!
Thank you!
Rubber bands are a great idea to mark your depth. I use a slip bobber knot on mine which have worked great. If using live golden shiners, I set them several feet off the bottom, sometimes even right below the ice, but dead bait I lay right on the bottom. Hot dogs seem to work well too for big pike, though I haven't had much luck on them.
Thank you.
Awesome video really a lot of good tips if you yellow perch has worms after you skin them put them in enough water it covers the fish and two teaspoons of salt about 10 minutes all the worms will come out in the fish is clean
Thanks for the tip!
The stigma of yellow perch being lower quality carries over to New Hampshire as well. For me, it was always seeing those black worms during the open water season. Some of my fishing buddies loved them though, and when I fished with them, they jumbos never got thrown back.
for sure, thanks I didnt know where NH was on the subject I had heard people around Winni hate White perch which was surprising.
@@JoeHollandFishing No way, I've never heard that. White perch are prized fish. Usually we keep the whites and crappie but release the yellow perch. Maybe the trout fisherman don't like them because they sometimes mix in the same water with lake trout? Our big lakes only allow 2 lines through the ice which forces people to target specific species.
The Friday fish fry is a wisconsin tradition, and mostly perch. I've heard Minnesota people who also leave them on the ice for the eagles. Crazy wrong! We have jumbo perch in Green Bay. Very tasty. Of course, everything is better with Frank's Red Hot 🥵. Be good Joe!
For sure, thanks for sharing!
Excellent video Joe!
Thank you.
Yellow perch are one of the best eating fish there are! Top 3 for me are bluegill, perch, and northern pike. Where I live in southern wisconsin it's nothing to see a couple hundred, even a thousand people chasing perch in 70 feet of water in the winter. It's fun chasing those when the school is almost 10 feet thick of nothing but perch!
That's amazing, Thanks for sharing.
just awesome!!!!! and yes you are correct, yellow belly perch are top table fare my man....cheers, keep the camera rollin' !
thank you
LOVING the pike series, great job as always joe, keep up the great work, all this hard work you are putting into this channel will pay off BIG TIME soon enough, people can make a very healthy living off UA-cam, you have the talent and knowledge to constantly keep the channel growing. You will be rewarded in the end. Good things happen to good people!
Thank you!
Great content! Really enjoy seeing the big perch and crappie! I live in the Great Lakes area. If you ever are interested, try scaling those perch and frying them with the skin on. I think it adds a lot of flavor but that’s just my opinion.
That sounds delicious
Thats how us Michiganders do it. Excellent taste. We even leave the tails on too. Crunchy.
Great video Joe. Really enjoy the whole experience with back to camp at the end. Thanks for bringing us along. I've been waiting all summer for these videos.
Thank you so much
There no better tasting fish then yellow perch. They are so sweet and firm. One of the best perch baits I've found. That I have used for the past 50 years is. Eye ball. Catch a perch and dig the eye balls out. Put the 1 eye ball on the hook of a tear drop jig. It's a rugged bait and the more it gets beat up the better it fishes.
Some states don’t allow the eyeball trick but it works amazing
That spot is about 500 yard from my house across the way! Always done well there! Great video man
Thank you
What a great channel Joe! And don't let anyone slander the yellow jumbos because they're incredible tasting. Head up to Ontario, Canada and we'll show you some beautiful jumbos and the best fresh water tasting fish, the walleye. Keep it up Joe, awesome content
Thank you, I wish we had Walleye here!
Awesome first day!! Wayne’s a good guy!! I’ve fished with him a few times!! Very knowledgeable
He’s the panfish slayer!
Loving the series
Not just the fishing but the adventure!
Awesome thank you
cant go wrong with a beautiful day and NO wind out there!! down here in northern conn. its 50 degrees,not looking good to get on any ice soon.good luck fishing
I didn’t know what to do with such beautiful weather, thanks
Fishing for pike early ice I like to find weeds in 10ft of water if the weeds are green and located next to deeper water you are golden. I also like to set my baits only about 4 to 6 ft under the ice max. when that bait is higher up the pike can see them from a further distance dependent on your water clarity
Nice, it varies every body of water. Caught them over 70 and less than a foot. They are amazing
I'll say it again: Your videos are awesome!! I miss fishing, but watching your videos is almost as good!! Thank you for sharing!
Please stay safe out there!!

English🐞
Thank you, Much appreciated.
I use egg sinkers above my swivel. You can use tungsten . Better than the clip on ones . When the fish runs and if it gets in the weeds the line will slide through it and the fish won’t feel it. I sure do like watching you catch crappy and pike. The perch are great also.
Great call thanks.
You should fry up some of those smaller Norherns too. They are also one of my favorites. 😋😋😎😎
For sure, A few of the Veterans took some fillets home on Episode 4 of this series.
I had to google White Perch. Never heard of that type of perch before. This is why I love your channel Joe! Very informative
Awesome thank you, I’ll shoot a video on them later this season.
You can not beat the taste of yellow perch .I am up in Quebec Canada, waiting on cold weather to thicken the ice.
Soooo goood!
Wow I know this doesn’t matter but I gotta say… that red and black striped shirt is bananas lol 😂 I love it
Thank you!
Looks like you have that new stove figured out. Thanks for the new content. Hope to be on the hard water soon.
ehhhh its a little tricky , Some people have commented about fixing the o rings behind the controls.
Love your videos Joe.
Thank you!
Shack and Bake !! Agreed everything tastes better on ice. Since the "Rona" I keep the Coleman in the truck all the time . People look at me funny when I'm pulled over on the side of the road grilling deer stakes . Oh well! Sure beats a Mcdoodoo burger, and there is never a line, lol
Good idea thanks
Awsome job Joe I'm glad your fishen again I love watching u every year go get um budy good luck for 2022
Thank you
I live in vermont yellow perch are a good eating fish like anywhere from 4 lbs to 7 lbs are awesome for eating anything smaller or bigger are though backs crappie are good eating too in my book just sayin. Love your show keep up the good work and P.S. I agree eating fish on the ice is much better than at home. Tc be safe out there.
For sure thank you.
joe I never eat yellow perch until we what to lake champlain pike fishing. they serve that at restaurant it is real good to eat.
For sure, I have had it at restaurants out of state too.
Ha ha I didn't think you felt pain !
Another great video Joe and some gorgeous fish!
Hahah, every once in awhile.
Crappie are delicious !!!! We caught 44 out of the Ohio river 45 years ago !
Awesome, congratulations
Here in southern Ontario yellow perch is probably most targeted through the ice due to abundance and them being delicious!
Absolutely! So good, thanks.
Yellow perch are awesome eating.smell the fillet and they don’t smell fishy
So true, thank you
I use cheap styrofoam bobbers for my depth markers. They are real easy to move up and down and if they let go after taking some line the bobber keeps the hook off the bottom or at least less of it. Great work as always!
Good call thank you
Hey joe try tungsten putty for weight on your line! Stays on great in cold water and you can make it any size you want. Loon outdoors makes a good one so does orvis. It’s usually used by fly fisherman. Works well for me salmon fishing and trout fishing in early spring.
Thank you! Great idea
that's crazy about the yellow perch..they're as good as walleye up here..cormorants tend to make em wormy on some lakes but others they're fantastic..catch big ones up here on Nipissing..great vids man..love these series
Thank you!
Joe loving this trip. I am 2 and a half hours above Toronto Ontario on Georgian Bay. We usually go 2 hours east in search of perch and that here is a treat for the boys. Like gold. We have rock bass but they don't get big enough for fillets. Just little pike around me half to go way farther north for bigger ones. I am jealous never caught pike that big but they are addictive to chase. Cheers.
Thank you we are super fortunate here,
Food always tastes better cooked out doors or upta camp. You had some awesome catch there, very nice
Thank you
Enjoy the Maine ice fishing videos. Will have to try frying up a few perch next time I catch a pile of 13 to 14 inchers.
For sure, thank you
In upstate ny, perch are one of my main targets!! Along with walleye and crappie!! Thanks for the great videos!!
Sounds like the perfect three targets, thanks.
Happy new year joe, happy to see your out there making great videos to watch
Thank you!
I so enjoy your video's. I am new to ice fishing and appreciate the pointers. Thanks !!
For sure, my pleasure thank you.
Love the ice fishing videos. Tons of helpful tips and a great taste of Maine fishing...got a few trips planned for Sebago and Moosehead. Thank you for the videos and have a safe season.
Awesome might see you out there on those two lakes, Tight Lines. Thank you.
I'll keep my eye out for ya. Good luck this season. Looking forward to the next video.
Nice fish!
Thinly you
Love your videos man! I want to get into winter camping, you make it look really easy!
Thank you! It gets easier every trip. depending on the weather too.
Happy New Years Joe! I always look forward to watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Always enjoy the videos Joe. It’s good to see you back out on the ice again. Looking forward to part 3. I’m going up to Escanaba MI next weekend to do some ice fishing on a couple of smaller lakes and Bay De Noc.
Thank you, tight lines and thick ice for you!
Good stuff as always. Hitting the CT river for pike on Tuesday and headed to Moosehead on Saturday.
Sounds like a blast good luck.
Great video buddy! You caught some nice fish! I never knew people in Maine didn't like yellow perch? I've caught them in Minn and Canada and didn't think you could get much better! Can't wait to watch day Two my friend!
It baffles me but it’s an old time thing. I think when people try them they are happily surprised
As always looking forward to your next video!
Thank you
I can't even begin to fathom people leaving perch on the ice for the eagles. I live in Michigan. We go perch crazy on the big pond
Dude its crazy. You should see the amount of Crappie left on the ice.
Up here in northern MN people say the same thing about perch, "full of worms not worth eating" I have never even attempted to keep one because that freaks me out, but I think this year I might just fry one up!
yeah don't let them scare ya!
Beauty pike 🤛
Thank you
Take it from a Midwesterner, yellow perch are some of the best eating fish in any water. 😋😋😋😋
Absolutely.
Man would love to have those big yellow perch we are lucky to catch 11" Wisconsin love perch Friday night fish fry. tight lines
We are so spoiled here in Maine, thanks.
My biggest pike in Massachusetts was 29lbs 10oz in 1979 2hour fight !!!!!!!!!
GIANT! congrats
Haha, It's always fun when they strike before the bait makes it all the way down.
That’s my favorite, the feed is on!
I'm cleaning yellow perch right now lol I love yellows . The white perch here in Vermont r eagle food lol
It's funny how different it is state by state thanks.
Both those pike and perch are awesome eating fish, I’m jealous we barely have ice in Ontario
For sure, thank you
Yellow perch are really sought after in Wisconsin great eating fish here.
For sure, thank
Would love too put you on Some big browns lake trout and smelting. Big fan of your channel. I fish dammerscotta lake alot.
Thanks, I will be doing a video on Jack Smelts in the dead sea of Dammy this winter when frozen.
another great video keep them coming
Thank you
I'd say food tastes good while camping to me because I have a lowered expectation of how good it will be overall, so I'm pleasently surprised when it comes out decent. Pretty much tricking me to think it's amazing, though I've probably half butchered whatever I'm cooking haha. On to day 3!
Hahaha thanks.
Joe, I absolutely love the show. You’re content is the type of stuff that I dream about, but my career and family life just hasn’t afforded me these types of opportunities. Not yet anyway. That being said, how about taking a lucky subscriber with you on one of your adventures?? I’d certainly be game for that. Keep up the great work
It’s a future possibility thank you.
Awesome video ya camp food always is so good !!
Thank you
LETS GOOOO!!!
So ready!
I’d stick to 9-11” perch because the skin on the larger fish is a little much. Hopefully you can sort through some of those jumbos and find some smaller fish lol.
The bigger ones have scales like steel! Thank you
Joe, have you ever used hot dogs for pike? Double hook on ends of the dog, pike love them and cheaper than chubs.
I never have.
@@JoeHollandFishing you should try it, they work. I live in Michigan and they work here. I like your videos keep up the good work
If there like White perch and damn good
Yes a lot like Whites, a little smaller but a little sweeter too.
Happy new year my friend!!
Thank you, Same to you!
Have the same tip up you have and was using it wrong for years wow
Oh no kidding.
Man what a great video. Where did you get the awesome sweaters
Thank you I don’t remember where they came from
