Hell yeah guys! You weren't shitting when you said epic. lol AJ had a couple of nice saves there, I wonder if he was a goalie in a previous life. lol I may have to change my plans on where I am going this weekend!
@@MountainStateAngler You are going to have to get you some long rubber gloves to keep your sleeves dry. lol If the fish is big enough it is worth a wet sleeve I guess! Those are all some blue ribbon winning hogs.
Wow love the Mile! Thanks for sharing! Going up Christmas weekend! Hope to see you up there! Almost tourney time! Need to figure out colors they want. New hut and new panoptix to try! Your adventures are the best Paul!
N3WT Fishing no tourneys at the mile this next year due to covid. Check their site for updates. Grand Lake is the only one having any kind of advertised tourney as of today.
@@mamabfishin1059 Thanks for the heads up! You are correct.. I'm a little pissed. Spent over $4,000 to prep for this tournament. There still is a chance but not likely.. Lame sauce
@@psauerfish I’m just ready to hit some ice! It’s been a while and don’t have many folks to go fishing with anymore. Everyone I use to fish with are becoming sissies to the cold and would rather sit around in a warm house playing video games.
@@psauerfish I fully agree with that. Shoot, I only made it up once last season, was skunked that trip and my son got too cold so we had to call it a day way too early. Gonna try and find some new folks to go with this year tho and I am kinda waiting for the Fork to freeze.
Fishing before a storm is a perfect set up for catching. Nice job guys! Do you bonk your fish, so they don't suffer even more than being caught? Maybe it's just me who does?
Goin Fishin Yes, I do think the meat tastes much better. Plus, it's how I was taught. My father has been my biggest teacher. Ask AJ I bled my fish right there on the ice when we went. Saw another spot where someone else did too. He asked about it too.
Awesome Video Paul! Super cool to get your cousin on a fish after all those years. Your beard and mustache made it look pretty cold lol. Awesome 20"+ trout!
@@psauerfish Haha I bet that is quite the site, would make for a good thumbnail lol...Let me know if you want to hit the ice this year, we started traveling as you may have recently saw. Would love to get some lines out with you at 11 mile or somewhere near ya!
@@teamcoff we should plan a trip. Sounds like the ice tourneys are being canceled. Im going back this saturday to the mile and try to focus on getting pike. There are some monsters in there.
@@psauerfish I have the 19th of December thru January 4th off...We should definitely plan on getting out during that time!! Otherwise January would work too, now that I won't be coaching until February.

he got his workout that is for sure. We will give it another go this weekend. Im hoping the local and east lakes will be ready soon.
I’ve been conditioning for these early ice trips in the South Park and practicing my swatting skills. :D

Beautiful Fish!!!
Thanks, and they are awesome on the smoker...
Love the mile Awesome video
Thanks Ed
Lmao!! Aj's just trying to dry it off 🤣 Good stuff Guys 👊🏽
When I re-watched this I was laughing my ass off, oxymoron statement from me right there! :p
Lol, that was a good one, drying off in the water...
Great video my friend 👍
Thanks John
Love that place, they are nice and fat this year, great job guys and congrats Richie.
They always are!
I dont think there is another lake like it in CO for the average size u get

Yea, saw that the grand slam is a no go. Possible the other to in Feb and March
I will be there the 26th, not sure where we will be going
Looks like an epic day on the mile! Lived in CO my whole life and never fished the mile!
Travis, the mile can be tough at times, the fish have so much food in the lake they can be very picky. But the average size of fish is epic...

LOL, that is funny, well my video game is my fish finder,, way more funn.

That's some commitment on ice fishing freezing
The size of the fish here makes u not care about the cold. There are GIANTS in 11 mile and the average size are monsters in any other lake.

I have seen people blead them out, do u really think that makes a difference in the quality of the meat?

Apparently Ritchie should have just been going with you for the last 30 years. Awesome fish, I miss fishing 11 Mile
Thanks Kyle. I was going to go to another area that day. But I knew we could get Richie on fish in this area.
Awesome videos great day on the ice whereabouts do you fish on the lake... I’ve been fishing there for years to but just can’t seem to find a spot
On this day we were parking at Stoll and walked West a little ways, 18-20ft of water was the ticket,

Thanks Tyler, just wait to see the ice on my beard when it gets to -30 lol

I was wondering what length and if it’s a light, medium or ultra light on the tickle stick
Mine are the 38in light
the ice on your beard
That is just a little ice. Wait till it gets 30 below.
