The ice recently left our lakes, I had some mild weather on a Friday evening before a cold front was coming in for the weekend. I didn't let the opportunity go to waste. I grabbed my dog and fishing bag after work and went for a long hike from my house to try my luck at fishing.
I really didn't have any expectations or goals aside from having fun and catching my first open water fish of 2024. Walleye is closed where I live, during the shooting of this video, but every other species swimming our waters was open. I was expecting maybe a bass and pike mix but it was all about the Esox lucius this day and I was okay with that. Not only were they smashing the lure but I ended up getting an absolute beauty pike. Not bad for a lake so close to home.
It is a long season and so far it is off to a good start. I am still waiting for some really nice weather. Summer weather is taking it's time getting here. No rush for that, the warm weather brings everything I don't like about the season. Mainly the wide spectrum of biting parasitic insects my part of the country is famous for lol.
I hope you enjoy this one! Until next time Cheers and Tight Lines every one!
Oh heck yahhh! Lots of great pike that day
Not bad for a couple spots I can walk to from my house eh?
Oh, dude, so cool those spots quick and easy!! That's awesome
I have a few closer lakes, the one with the pike is a little over 5km each way. So it's walking distance but ya got to budget some time to do it lol
Gotta love that open water. Congrats on some very nice pike
Yes, the season has arrived! Now I just have to pull the kayak out of storage 😉
Solid catch, enjoying watching that fight
Was a nice surprise!
Great looking area for some bank fishibng and what a nice session. That Pike at the mid-point was a tank! Nice job
Thank you Larry. I would have been happy with the other fish I caught but it's always uplifting when a big girl shows up. Cheers!
Those are some aaaangry Pike, bro!! Lol 😂 spunky
Just finished their spawn so angry and hungry... hangry lol
Congrats. That pike at 10:21 was saweet!
It was a good one for sure, was not expecting that one. Cheers!
Great action, and a nice one too! Great to be back out on the open water.
Oh yes and last weekend I went out in my kayak for the first time. May Long weekend, it was super windy!!! But fishing was good when I was able to fish. Cheers.
Looks like a beauty start to the season! Those are some nice fish.
I was pleased for sure. How are things with you? Wet any lines down there yet?
@@differentfins nothing yet. Hoping to get out this week I see fish are biting. Only thing that sucks is for the next couple weeks panfish and trout are the only fish in season and we don’t have any trout spots around me… Ill be trying for crappie/bluegill soon.
Love hearing that drag rip!
Best sound ever! Even if it's on an old reel. I love that little rod... I should get a new reel for it though. Caught so many nice fish on it and it fits in a backpack!
@differentfins sweet! Get a new reel and then you can do "first fish on the new reel" 😁 Always fun!
I think I remember the dog story you referred to, yeah, that was messy 😮
Yeah, I forget who's dog it was. A black one I think. We were fishing off that point at Lincoln. We must have been about 8 or ten years old then eh? Don't forget something like that!
Good to see ya back. We’re gonna be on lac seul first week of June. I’m up there off and on, all summer. (Friend of nc outdoors)
Ah sweet. It's so awesome up there. I've been watching Nick fishing down south when he does get out. Miss him up here, he was so much fun to fish with.
Good kid. We fished together a lot that summer. Hope to see him back north in the future. Keep up the great vids and maybe we will cross paths sometime!
I would not want to unhook a dog. I actually went out for pike yesterday. Had four or five hits and couldn't sink a hook in one. Those were beauties.
Ah nuts, that's too bad. I hope you get another shot. Yeah it was a bad memory. Fishing from shore, we were probably like 8 years old. Well a dog decided to bite one of the jerk baits in the tackle box. It got the hook in his jaw, then naturally swiped at it to remove the lure but of course the paw got snagged.... we built a makeshift stretcher to carry him home and had an adult pull the hooks. Wasn't fun at all. Dogs get excited but just like people that's when dumb mistakes happen. I get nervous when I am ice fishing with him too. Always have the blades covered. I can see him licking the slush off and slicing his tongue.
What state are you in?
Ontario 😉
@@differentfins must be northern Ontario I guess eh? To be able to walk to numerous lakes for big pike
@jonasmartin678 NW Ontario yeah. We literally have more lakes than people. Minnesota is the state of 10,000 lakes but looking on a map it appears to be a desert compared to this side of the border. Water everywhere!
@@differentfins that's my dream
@@jonasmartin678 it can be a dream come true.
