So good to see a guy who knows how to keep cool and handle fish properly. They'll be there for next time, and they'll be even bigger because of guys like you.
Clayton I really commend you on how you treat your fish. To many people out there have no idea just how fragile fish are, especially during cold snaps and heat waves. Keep up the good content love watching your vids.
How in the heck does Clayton only have 45k subs? He catches tons of fish and absolute giants in all of his vids. The content is as good as you'll find anywhere. If you're watching this vid and aren't subbed, get on that. This man is a legend.
The underwater footage is phenomenal. So cool to see how well adapted those pike are to their environment. They blend in so well with the bottom of that like!
I watch this video every now and again. Soemtiems for the pike, sometimes for how well you think it all through, all for the best interest of these beautiful fish, while still getti great shots and great releases. Amazing!
Excited to come across your video channel. Appreciate your love of the sport and attention to conservation with things like; wanting to remove the previous hook, live well technique, catch and release, great camera work, instruction and commentary. Your enthusiasm is contagious. :)
That was an awesome video man, loved all the underwater shots of those giant pike. Prime video! So much set up work pays off big time for you! Nicely done!
This is what fishing is all about. Being nice the Aqua Vu looks crystal clear as well as the water. Thanks for taking care of our fish!!!! Good man! Nice set up nice truck lol.
What amazing footage ya got there Clayton! Absolutely beautiful! And the vibrant colours on that pike, 😳 WOW! Thanks for all the time you take to film these awesome fish and your adventures! 👏🏻😃. Well done!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors ~ You are welcome Clayton! We are fans of your videos here. 😊. Oh! And your honest approach as to how you present things in your videos. 😎🎣
I wish I could Like this video 1,000 times. This is my new favorite ice fishing video on all of RUclips. And that's saying something because you alone have a crazy amount of amazing videos. This was an absolute stunner !!!! You literally take it yo the next level with your quality of videos. Well done.
I love when those big mommas try to eat the camera. Nice to see the markings and chains on them too, Super clear! Always fun watching you react with the big bites!
My take from this video: 1. I agree with you 100% about the wind, cold isnt cold... the wind is lol 2. That is the best underwater footage of pike in the world. 3. That crayfish was cool 4. Pickerel rigs are trash! I've never seen one in use in Ontario but I see shorelines across Manitoba littered with them. And they are snags for other anglers. 5. I want to fish with you someday! Cheers 🥃🍻🐟🎣
Another sick video! Quality footage. Monster fish. Over the top trophy management and care with those fish. And probably the thing that gets overlooked for a vid like this is THE HOURS OF SET UP AND TEAR DOWN!! thanks for the hard work my friend. Enjoy your stuff so much!
No need to apologize all the time Clayton your content is top notch we just appreciate you showing us all these amazing days on the ice/water keep up the good work🤙🏼
Amazing footage man. I got an eyoyo UW camera off Amazon and the quality's ridiculously poor compared to your AquaVu. Appreciated how you were considerate with the fish and had that desire to remove the hook from that pike 👍👍 Gotta love the barbless, wish Ontario would go that way
Those big pike like it quiet . Ok thats why the dead stick outperform . I see them on the camera in the tent , but they just sit there waiting for me throw my bait down the hole when I go home . That was great footage with two cameras . I know what I'm buying myself for Christmas. You rock Clayton ! I watched this video twice it was so good .
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors I've had a camera for over 10 years . I'm talking I need 2 cameras now that I've seen you do it . I never thought of or saw anybody using two at same time. My first was an aqua view,loved it until someone stole it out of my van . Right now I have a Marcum camera ,marcum sonar ,vexilar flasher, striker 4sonar . Time for another aqua view, a guy can never have enough toys . I can't wait for end of March fishing , I like walleye to eat ,but pike is my favorite deep fried in crunched up corn flakes .
I think you made a great decision not keeping hat smaller Pike. I think because you saved him from that bad hook he deserves to go and grow. Thank you for your videos Clayton. You are an amazing teacher.
What beautiful pike. It was funny to see the crayfish trying to be invisible when the first pike started looking hungry. Kudos on the fish handling. The way some people treat fish they may as well not bother returning them.
13:10 I'm not a fan of ice fishing but I do have an underwater camera. I use it during the summer off of docks, floating bridges, drop offs or wherever there's deep water. Bluegills and Bass do the exact same thing. They look at the camera. This is the first time I've ever seen a Pike do that!
I’ve recently taken the plunge into cameras if only to scout substrate in our reservoirs. Second time out, boom, the camera was grabbed by a burbot. Reminded me of the one that grabbed your transducer. I’m mesmerized watching those clear images of pike fins in action. I enjoy your enthusiasm and passion, Clayton. Keep it up!
Unreal clayton! The best underwater capture ive seeen! Crispy clear! 😯 The way you hold those monsters and say ohh itsss heavy itss heavyyy . Always makes me.laugh with a huge Smile!😅 I Just frikken loveee it Clay! Cant wait for next video! Awsome awsome editing! What a great way to end my weekend! THX!❤❤❤
Love your respect for the fish. It's what makes the fishing great. Lots of people just don't get it. Keep a few smaller ones to eat but respect the biggees and let em go!
Dude one of the best vids ever! They are so curious and confident. Landed some real nice ones last few days here in MT but still looking for that 40 incher!!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors that 2nd big one was insane. what a take. we learn so much by being able to watch their behavior. you have some insane fishing wherever you are up there!
Clayton great video! Very impressed with how you have set up your fishing camp. You have developed a great process in how to catch and release fish! Thank you for sharing, my son Jessie and I have utilized many of your techniques/equipment and have started to catch our own trophy fish. Hope to see you on the ice or water one day to thankyou in person, maybe the boat show in Winnipeg when it is back on. Keep up the great work and Thank you for all your efforts.
Best channel I have discovered in 2021 hands down. I was about to ask how you find such big fish but then you answered my question towards the end. Keep the vids coming!
Fantastic footage! The Pike you’ve got there, are really beautiful - what a pattern on them! A quick question - Don’t you ever feel like getting the weight of the fish, not just the length? With the warmth within that insulated shelter, the propane heater in the corner, it would take like 30 seconds to put the fish in a weight sling or weight net inside the shelter, note the weight and then measure it outside before the release? No critisism, I’m just curious. I see a lot of European Pike fisherman using only the lenght, but for me that is only half the story of a catch, if you know what I mean 😊 Tight lines!
@@ClaytonSchickOutdoors I know you put in a lot of time & a ton of effort to catch quality fish & make production quality videos. Much appreciated down here in Iowa, keep it up 👍

This is some of the best underwater footage I've ever seen! You really gain so much respect for the fish when you see them in their natural habitat.
That’s awesome, that was a big crayfish lurking by there.
I know!! I didn't see it till I was editing. I talk about it in my next video :)
So cool to see the crawdad coming in on the minnow scales. Can't get enough of this aquavu footage.

Best days of the month are when I'm fishing or when you post new vids!
Sounds like a great day!
Your fish care for winter fishing is impeccable. Keep it up!
Thank you for noticing!
Clayton, you are the most consistently consistent and entertaining fishing channel on youtube. Great stuff, as always. Keep on keeping on.

2 underwater cameras would be awesome, I honestly use my camera more than my flasher. And that quad cam is awesome! Def not too much!
This vid never gets old. Cold here in Pa today...good day to watch a few oldie but goodies ☺️
Deadly footage Clayton and those where some nice fish!! What a guy wouldn't know thanks so much for sharing !!
I’m glad I subscribed to your channel. I love that you use cameras. I appreciate your 3 cameras. It makes me more involved.
