Found unbelievable waters on the mighty miss this year with my 2 daughters . By far heaven is the only word to describe. Just the rite episode to get this heart pumping. Love it guys
I knew I should have made my way over there to Film for my channel!!! I guess Ill have to settle for heading north and hoping to land on some Giant Gills!
A word of warning using hovercrafts on ice. A veteran ice fisherman died on the Mississippi River backwaters near Savanna, Illinois using a hovercraft when he struck a stump while cruising over the ice. The stump caused the hovercraft to flip killing the fisherman instantly. Stumps are almost impossible to see when the ice is snow covered so use extreme caution at all times!
I fish pool 9 and 10 and we catch those giant's too. Great to see the perch doing so well in the Mississippi. I haven't been out on the river this winter but Ill be after em soon as ice is out in some of my spots.
I caught some real big ones this spring.. Tons of 12 to 15in perch and pulled 3 out this year 16in. With the biggest being 16.25in I should have had it mounted but I released it. Early ice in 18 was awesome on the Mississippi but it really seemed to slow down after Christmas and fish were super finicky the rest of the season. It was tough to put a solid day together with a ton of fish.
We move around a lot and doubling the amount of holes drilled would really add a lot more work, so we put up with the tangle or just pull the ducer before the fish gets there.
The single hole allows the lure to be in the center of the cone the flasher projects to the bottom. More accurate placing of the lure on the flasher screen.
I know a pond were almost ever perch is between 4-6 lbs 15-22 inch some even bigger it's an awsome pond/ small lake and there is just thousands in it amost every cast on chubs you catch 1 lol it was stocked 30 years ago then never fished.
InDepthOutdoorsTV Uh, actually I do. I’m also very aware that it’s quite easy to lip a perch, making it completely unnecessary to stick ones fingers up under the gill plate.
Something that i have never seen through the ice that i would maybe like to see done is fishing for northern like you would walleye or perch, with jigs.
TheFishingGuru happens all the time. The reason it's not done quite as much is with pike they don't school up together so you could literally sit on a hole staring at your electronics all day. When they hit they usually come in fast and smoke the bait, but not always. Yeah you will mark them on the flasher but it's usually a small window so most people just use set lines and talk etc whilst doing that
This old man that I met out on the ice a long time ago told me; old timers would put the maggots in their mouths to keep them from freezing when it's really cold.
I would love to see you do an episode of perch fishing on American Lake and Tacoma Lakewood Washington or if not an episode of perch fishing do an episode of Kokanee fishing get on that Kokanee bite Kokanee is a badass fish to catch they don't get very big but they're landlocked salmon and they're very good to eat so if you do an episode there and you're doing Kokanee and least cooked Kokanee catch him to keep smoking grillem frying them do all three but if you fry them don't deep-fry them pan-fry am the best way to cook them
How is Prairie Du Chien in Minnesota? Lol Minnesota just claims all the upper Mississippi now? Iowa and Wisconsin just get no credit? I'm just kidding. I love indepth outdoors.
i agree. i keep seeing and hearing about burbot fishing. the guys have been telling me that they're more aggressive and better eating than catfish so i would love to get a bit more intel on how and where to find them consistently.
they're easy to catch, can't seem to stay away from them, once the sun goes down set tip ups with big baits or jig aggressively near the bottom just like you would for walleye and you'll slay em, its easy and tbh they're pretty greasy like if anything a nice cat would fry up better
Knock on wood that I am not superstitious, but it is a tradition among anglers that the first fish of species should be kissed, so angler can catch more. Otherwise, after you catch your first bass and kiss it, you will catch more bass.
We have nothing against keeping fish - see our South Dakota episode from a couple weeks ago, for instance - but perch that big are a special resource we want to see reproduce and grow for years to come. There’s a reason they got so big!
Ed, if you have a chance to catch a mess of Yellow Bass, they are by far one the best tasting fish out there as well! Perch are awesome, don't get me wrong. I love them too, but these Yellows are something else!
Ed Axeman hey Ed, well people of your generation and older believed what you still believe. That you can keep as many fish as you want because they are unlimited. (stupid) so nowadays fishing near any urban area just sucks because everything keeps everything. So we practice something called catch and release. This way we have fun, and keep fishing fun for generations to come. Lots of food at the grocery store.
Unfished spot, why not keep some jumbos and fillet for friends and family that actually eat fish. I bet these guys eat Mickey's on the way home. Unreal
PJ Vick is a STUD of a man!!

James needs to get an ice cleat sponsor haha
Don't forget about the giant pike too!! I just wrapped up this past weekend chasing flags for big Mississippi pike! what a blast.

Perch sandwiches great video guys God bless
Thanks Daniel!
So awesome! Dave a guide there James? That would be a great day on the water with the hovercraft and all! So cool!
Dave isn’t a guide, just a very dedicated fisherman!
I have cleaned some decent perch,and they were full of YOY bluegills.That's why those rippin raps work so well.
Man oh Man those perch are true giants. loved it
Some Giants... looks like Cascade Style fish!
Why don't you just drill a hole just for your Marcum? Just watching the line getting tangled up in the transducer drive me crazy! 😂😂

I love it. I just caught me a 15+ in perch, now let me stick my fingers in its gills before I release it.
You really have no understanding of how fish are held, do you?
InDepthOutdoorsTV Uh, actually I do. I’m also very aware that it’s quite easy to lip a perch, making it completely unnecessary to stick ones fingers up under the gill plate.
Chris Brines go find a diffrent channel to troll
So you're telling me to go lip a 40" perch or 30" eye? Idiot
Jeebus those are unreal! Great episode as usual!
Don’t perch love crayfish and other crustaceans? Must be a lot of that in those flats?

James and the Giant Perch
you guys should come to the UK the record perch is over 6 pounds and pike record is over 46 pounds
not sure about the pike but i know the perch are a slightly different species.
We have muskies here. 50 lbs is not un heard of record is 68...
This old man that I met out on the ice a long time ago told me; old timers would put the maggots in their mouths to keep them from freezing when it's really cold.
You should check out Lake Gogebic in the UP. 2lb to 3lb Perch.
Gogebic can be a realllly light bite though since they feed almost exclusively on wigglers and dont often chase anything
In Australia we call them Redfin
I love fishing
Dahaaaaaaam bass size.
I would love to see you do an episode of perch fishing on American Lake and Tacoma Lakewood Washington or if not an episode of perch fishing do an episode of Kokanee fishing get on that Kokanee bite Kokanee is a badass fish to catch they don't get very big but they're landlocked salmon and they're very good to eat so if you do an episode there and you're doing Kokanee and least cooked Kokanee catch him to keep smoking grillem frying them do all three but if you fry them don't deep-fry them pan-fry am the best way to cook them
Awesome!

Unbelievable!!
How is Prairie Du Chien in Minnesota? Lol Minnesota just claims all the upper Mississippi now? Iowa and Wisconsin just get no credit? I'm just kidding. I love indepth outdoors.
My question is u can or not keep them there super awesome eating or is it the fact it's the Mississippi river. , contamination
They can be kept and they're good to eat.
I was wondering how long it would take before our perch fishery was discovered lol
Very nice fish guys!!
Yeah now it’ll be a zoo out there by next weekend
I had no idea the Mississippi held perch
Thanks for the video James them were some big perch. Were you fishing pool 9 ?
Is the spot on the spot near lacrosse, WI?
Jeff byars Go Green!
It is about 50 miles downstream
@@tonykrueger2991 downstream 50 miles is Iowa bro. You mean 50 miles upstream ?
Want to try this out, american perch looks so different from european
Dave Koonce is a great guy, I worked him,
Dave Koonce is an awesome guy!
Hey I love to fish and I live in Nebraska so yesterday was my first day open water fishing
can you make a burbot video one of these episodes coming up
PLEASE NO
i agree. i keep seeing and hearing about burbot fishing. the guys have been telling me that they're more aggressive and better eating than catfish so i would love to get a bit more intel on how and where to find them consistently.

1st and I love watching in depth out doors!
Lot's of variables here, but I'd rather dine on 9 - 12" perch. Release fish bigger.
What's with these people who feel they need to KISS FISH??? Jimmy Houston started a stupid thing, lol.
Love is love.
You should of given one of those Mississippi Perch a little tongue then, lol. Don't think I could kiss any fish out of there yet.
Joe Shock agreed. So awkward
Maybe those just want to be like Jimmy!!!
Knock on wood that I am not superstitious, but it is a tradition among anglers that the first fish of species should be kissed, so angler can catch more. Otherwise, after you catch your first bass and kiss it, you will catch more bass.
The biggest I cought 15 inches in Canada.
Advertising, guess tv ain’t as bad ,as I thought. You came in first
Are you guys on halfmoon lake?
Never heard of half Moon lake so I think it safe to say no.
It’s south of Alma Wisconsin
Full of eggs
are you sure you arent in Europe? those are some tanks
What pool is that
Pool 10, pool 9 if they were above the dam in Lynxville.
2nd
We catch big fish
Absolute slabs.
Io ne ho pescati di più' grossi.Quello mi sembra un alborella.Tanta attrezzatura,,,va' be'.Conteni voi.E poi dono in frega ,pieni di uova.
Is the i-fish pro legal in MN?
Yes. It doesn't set the hook so it is legal in MN.
All the boat and city runoff pollution and what ever else runs off the farm fields is what makes those fish so big!
einstein
Kevin A lol chemist
The best tasting fish on the planet, and you throw them back??!!

Yeah I do know where this is actually. Watch where you pan the camera! Your in my hole.
No... no you don't
Watching him throw these perch back makes me angry I would kill to catch perch like those
You only catch perch like that by putting some of them back.
This people will only go fishing where they know It is guaranteed fish
Unfished spot, why not keep some jumbos and fillet for friends and family that actually eat fish. I bet these guys eat Mickey's on the way home. Unreal
You don't need to keep every fish. Why do you care what hey keep and what they don't keep..
