The poor fish handling in this video will be addressed in the next video.
A appreciate all positive and negative comments/ feedback. I am far from perfect, and strive to grow to be a better angler, sportsman and version of myself everyday. See you soon.

Hey man going to red lake this weekend should shoot me some nice spots
Generally love your videos and what you preach. This one was tough to watch with letting those crappie sit on the ice, start to freeze, even if it’s just 30 degrees, and shove them down the hole minutes later. Sad deviation from your normal content.
Couldn't agree more. Not looking forward to hearing the garbage excuse 'they swam away fine'. This was weak fellas and painful to watch.
@ryansteiger9606
Posted this vid for another post..... Pretty long, but very great info for on crappie release.... Not saying this is proof all the fish make it, but i was impressed....
ruclips.net/video/6AdfSoPfxr0/видео.html
Funny how none of the fish just floated in the hole. It’s almost like they were fine.
Snow and slush is no go for their gills🎉
Obviously most of these negative comments about keeping a fish on the ice for a few minutes come from people that don't fish!!
If your old enough to remember the last red lake crappie boom in the 80's, dont worry it will get fished out in a couple years.
Late 90s early 00s were hot too. Limit was 30 then. 10 now. Got 500x the fishermen though and guys that let em half way freeze and throw em back are just making pike and eagle food for spring.
Yep, After the walleyes were fished/netted out in the early mid 90s and the crappie population exploded it didn,t take long to fish the crappie out of it with just flashers..{Pre-youtube and FFS}
@@crazycooterMN limit is 10 out there?
Let’s just let the fish lay on the ice for 5 minutes while we act selfish and try to catch as many as we can before releasing any. Way to protect the resource 👍
Those fish were fine. 😂
@@garrettweston767 Mr Weston the fish biologist I’ve been waiting for your professional input. Thanks for informing me that the fish were fine
@@garrettweston767let me hold you underwater for 5 minutes and let’s see what happens 😊
@jonasfitzer2318 he's dead that's why he isn't replying you
Slab crappies yes but man don't just leave in the snow then release them. That's kinda shifty
sobi great catch and ggs
sadly the way you handled the fish is not sustainable. ice and snow hurts the skin of the fish and does lead to certain death. otherwise great video
Usually i like your videos but after watching you leave those fish on the ice flopping in the snow, lost all respect for you. You always preach caring for the fish, not to stress them, freezing fins/eyes and then pull this crap. Shame on you Sobi!!
Let em go after they lay on the ice? Cmon.. weak
It’s nobody’s business what someone keeps size wise. With that being said just shoving those fish down the hole after they’ve been on the ice for that long will 100% stress the fish out enough that their survival chances are very slim. This is not the correct way to practice catch and release or the correct way to teach younger generations of fisherman.
You did not set those fish on the ice and then “release” them?!? I mean come on. Keep what you want that’s legal but don’t be just wasting fish by having them sit on the ice and then throw them down the hole.
They are fine. When fishing a school of crappies sending them back down might spook the school. Having the fish on the ice for a minute as long as it’s not super cold is fine.
@@garrettweston767 a minute not five🤣 let me hold you underwater for 5 minutes and see if it affects you at all. Be a good time I bet
Go elsewhere
Came here just to see if anyone else noticed. Great video but come on guys at the very least get a pail of water god damn
Very poor example of handling fish you plan to release 🤦🏻.
Disappointing.
Yah, that was actually pretty embarrassing to watch as a fellow fisherman. Normally enjoy his videos, but I was actually pretty disgusted with the way those fish were handled. I’d be willing to bet a lot of them are dead for sure.
Setting all those fish on the ice…. Then letting them go….
Cmon man
I don't know for sure but leaving fish on the ice for that amount of time cannot be good for releasing them. This looks like very bad practice.
Who cares if they could possibly spoke off after releasing them. if your not going to eat them pitch them back.
Normally love your videos and passion for the outdoors but really disappointed in the fish handling in this one. 😔 Doesn’t matter how warm it is, there’s no reason to let fish lay in the ice and snow like that and then release them . If you’re going to release them, do it. If you’re going to keep them, that’s great! Just don’t pile them up to make a video or catch more and lower the chance of recovery for the fish. Nothing is worth that. The fish deserve better.
I think he should have cut a livewell in the ice or brought one so they could at least swim around and stay healthy. Leaving them on the ice is just yikes 😬
Ive never watched one of your videos where ive been disappointed. This video was just hard to watch. Sobi the sportsman was not seen in this video. Temp was maybe 30° but you should try sticking your face into the snow thats sitting on ice. What a shame. 😢
Makes a person wonder how they behave and what "ethics" they may display when the camera is not rolling. 😢
Way to protect the resource A hole
I normally really enjoy your videos but found this one at the very least disrespectful. No reason to leave those beautiful fish on the ice while you greedily catch more. If you aren't going to keep them summer winter or fall they need to be put back as soon as possible. No reason to do that.
This is why they won't last long nowadays with forward sonars. Sure looks fun! Why not release them right away?
Sometimes releasing them down right away will spook the school.
They didn't last long back when the original Red lake crappie boom happened many years ago. No damned forward facing sonar used back then.
Over pressured and they harvested !
lol was livescope around on the late 90’s when the OG boom happened and they got hammered?
@@garrettweston767who cares. Oh you might not get an extra few crappies who cares. Fish care is #1 priority
Good stuff! That's a day on the Ice every angler dreams about!
Lost my respect how that went down definitely don’t care about resource only care about content SAD.
My absolute favorite channel. But have to chime in with most guys. TERRIBLE fish management, so many frozen fins being released!!
As much as I appreciate Sobi this one really turned me off! I actually thought they were keeping their limit but to just pile them up on the ice like that for a mass release is unacceptable! Their mortality rate has to decrease the longer they are out of the water! Sorry to say but I’m tempted to unsubscribe!
I unsubscribed, this is what a group of jackasses do when they get greedy. I wouldn’t be surprised if he deletes this video
Have either of never made a mistake? You sound like snowflakes, a ton of content and he messed up once and yall lose your mind. Grow a pair.
Did not like this video at all, ruined it for me by saving them on the ice and THEN releasing, poor poor sportsmanship right there, wow
Sorry but fish need to go back asap if not kept
Poor fish handling. Come on sobi your better than that
I think you guys shouldn't leave crappies sitting on the ice just to let them go like that. Crappies are such a amazing fish and they should be treated with more respect.
This is hard to watch. All of those beautiful fish flopping in the snow just so you can keep catching and not “spook the school”. Piss poor sportsmanship. Disgusting!
Weren't you on the crappie Chronicles Criticizing 90s fisherman for taking crappies out of red Lake? Then you leave them lay on the ice then release them?? How long do you think they can hold their breath? I've liked your other videos but this one isn't great.
Don't listen to the haters bro! I've been watching you since you've started and us devoted channel watchers know you wouldn't intentionally hurt the fish you catch. You're still the most genuine, and fun fisherman to watch on RUclips!! Go get em
i agree!
Pathetic, the way you guys handled those fish. These videos do more harm than good.
Love the videos but first that’s illegal to set fish on the ice/snow in mn this year get a bucket of water or something it freezes there fins! I get when it’s 2-3
Come on man….that was almost 5 full minutes of video with those fish sitting on the ice…You’re way better than that. Don’t let fish fever cloud your judgment…
Great respect for the fish. Later losers.
Great job finding and catching them Beauties! Dayum fun video! I too, think letting them sit on the ice was a lil to much, Although I know why it is done. A pail and some water at the Bare minimum next time? Luv your videos, and talking about Selective harvest and C&R.
for someone that’s all talk about fish handling and selective harvest you really just showed what not to do smh. use to love watching your vids but this was just disgusting to watch. I get putting a couple on the ice quick to get back down there but between both of you there was a heck of a pile and with that amount of time in the snow it does kill them and damages them.
dropping frozen dead crappies back down the hole...... not cool, at all
Horrible fish handling!
Great example of why FFS will be the death of fishing.
C'mon boys, laying 13 of them on the ice before releasing any of them? I realize they are more than likely fine, but why would you knowingly give people a reason to beat up on you and the technology in the often discussed forward facing sonar debates?
These videos have become all about, look how many fish I caught…I’m really good!
Don't watch.
@@earlshannon1048 😭 I’ve got more respect for the sport in my left nut than most people have in their whole body. Not sure why I’m in RUclips comments with snowflakes in the first place
Not trying to hate guy but come on now, those fish deserve more respect than that
What’s up with the blurred out spot
Sobi,I have enjoy almost every video you’ve ever posted,but this was complete bullshit. Prime example of people(especially the RUclips warriors) care way to much about a picture for social media rather than just enjoying the experience. The amount of time I see RUclipsrs keep fish out of the water is unreal and who knows how long before a release behind the scenes before they cut the video to it swimming away. They might’ve not all died but the few that looked froze are likely gonna die soon after release. Such a waste especially that those are mainly females with good genetics. Should’ve kept what you needed/wanted for meat and if you want pics of the tanks keep ‘em alive in a bucket of ice cold water while you keep catching. You’ve been so good about setting examples of fish care/selective harvest to your audience but this was down right disgraceful.
Gonna have to use the mega live to show that those fish did indeed swim away Sobi if you are uploading fish on the ice and then returned. After Aaron’s vid showing how he uses his forward sonar to verify the fish went back I think it would put minds at ease or clear up is this a harmful practice or not. I know we are not taking about barotrauma but it doesn’t come off well.
just because they swim away doesnt mean they survive
@@rushlakejim1 agree. Which is why people are going to come at Sobi for showing a tail kick in the hole and assuming the fish are good. Sounds like content for another video!
These guys aren’t fishermen or sportsman. They are tech guys who were given a fishing pole and a salary. Another example of abusing resources from ppl who live in the metro area
Waste killed a couple limits of fish
Ka-boom-ouch from the comment section, kinda brutal....The excitement of the catching must have clouded there judgement a bit....The guide friend dumped his fish right back in....
Get that clam livewell so you can cull and take pics. Bring the extra buddy that can do the camera work and fish rangling for you. Got to have the dedicated guy to help you keep
fishing so you can focus on fish and he can focus on camera and fish.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 cant believe yalls got rap snacks in the video 😅😅
Cousin Kyle + sobi = 🚬🚬
@sobi Lessons learned! I can help you share your information and build a positive Community around your ice fishing knowledge. I was just out pounding some crappies on a local lake near me in Michigan. Love ice fishing, but too bad winters have been only leaving us with a couple months of fishing even in the north..
@uncutangling what do you think of this handling of crappies?
I think Uncut angling is the reason guys think releasing crappies “spooks the school” when he put out that 16” crappie video that got a million views..If seeing their buddy get yanked out of sight doesn’t spook em why would releasing them… Do people think they go back and warn their buddies. Fish are dumb and very tough. I think the fish laying there for that long is a bad look but most likely swam away fine and will bite again. Just my opinion🤷♂️
@@samsquanchoutdoors.6271Aaron’s new videos about crappie barotrauma are something to look into. Not saying they are perfect but do take note of how crappies swim. They don’t swim vertical they swim horizontal so sending a crappie back down doesn’t spook the school because they don’t rocket down the middle of it. They just swim off to the side and zig zag their way back down. They likely swim more horizontal the deeper they are caught from but I still think that principle stands even in shallow water
@@Dr.EmmettBrown. So I tested the releasing fish spooking the school yesterday. I was fishing in shallow clear water and would have 2-3 blue gills swim in I would catch one and as my fishing partner was about to catch one on Livescope I’d release mine n sure enough it would spook the gil about to bite and it would dart off. Then we hit a deep 24ft hole,pretty clear lake, for crappies and were catching and releasing for an hour and had no effect on the school. So maybe in shallow water have a bucket ready I dunno
@@samsquanchoutdoors.6271that’s good to know. And the thing is, it’s purely on the fishes mood. Some days they spook and others they don’t. Shallower water would make some sense for the potential to spook fish. If anything just have another hole drilled like 5 feet away and release it away from your school. I’m sure this whole topic is wildly over talked about and is probably so much simpler than we make it out to be. I think the over arching point of the whole thing, if you’re gonna harvest the fish, do so, and if you’re not, just release it. Fun that you made your own experiment out of it. Adds a nice bit of fun to your fishing
Another guided fish video
For people who don’t understand getting caught in the moment happens to all of us especially when getting on a crazy bite sobi means the best as always give him a break ..
Good Stuff
All these comments lol i can see an explanation video coming.
I'm getting out this weekend finally, I wish we had crappies like that down here in Iowa
They are around in Iowa… just takes more time to find them haha
I need more fish in my freezer for dinner , yummy
Those crappies are SLABS! keep grinding boys! love your content Sobi the man! keep em coming! tight lines brother
MN smokes mids! 💨💨💨💨🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow, not cool. Do you really think releasing them will spook the school or shut them down?
I have yet to see this myth be proven. Fish don’t swim straight down they swim sideways. When you send a crappie down it doesn’t rocket down to the middle of the school. So way more often than not they do not spook the schools
Nobody out there cause were all working for a living at some humdrum job bro ! Lol enjoy your life my friend
Catch and cook. Up the subs.
Awesome crush scene! Those fish are just fine!!!
Better chance put back in the hole than in the frying pan!
What do you keep blocking out in the video? Great one none the less. I was just curious.
Definitely some houses or buildings that would be a spot burn
@@TheMasterCaster well one looked like a fish house… that’s why I was confused
@@phillipschillaci7372may be a recognizable fish house too
Absolutely wrecked it!!! So sick! Nice work 💪
Anyone know what gloves those are the fellas are wearing? Been looking for some solid fingerless.
Fish Monkey
Man you guys are nuts. People are still falling through the ice up there. The natives need to take this whole lake back.
🤡
Wow that’s the day of a lifetime on the ice!! Amazing!!
Great work - fun to watch. Smashing BIG crappies.
Wow
random question does anybody know what rod hays was using?
Any way to add a corner video of your vex so we can see what you’re seeing to make your ice videos more interesting vs just watching you reel up fish?
Awesome Day on the Ice Sobi 🤙 Keep Bend’n Tips
Just crushing them! Awesome video as always!
Congratulations hay dude you deserve it! Thanks for you and sobi and your other friends to have the opportunity to join in in a outing in memories that will last for years!
That first hole was bananas
SLABS boys! Loving the ice fishing Sobi! 🔥💥
Great video and amazing fish! and hey we all get caught in the moment we are all human! when you can pound them like that and tag team that many is awesome! And they all swam off good!
Those crappies are ridiculous Sobi!! Makes me wanna get out on the ice ASAP!
Dude! Great job! Your level of respect from me increased 10 fold with the video response to not being perfect. Getting caught up in the moment happens to all of us. Keep kicking arse.
⌨️ ⚔️ assemble!
Shoutouts from Omaha Nebraska unbelievable crappie action. Sobi you guys Change Addresses in a major way awesome content!
Where did buddy Hays get that Wolves hat? As always, great video!
Lids!
Let’s just fiddle f with something that used to be a rarity and on the comeback. Also haze bothers me, take that back he has to walk this earth with that name. That’s hard enough. God speed with that name brother. Get a real job sobi and leave the fishing stuff to the real fisherman. RIP Dolph
Always waiting for your next trip!! Come to Wisconsin buddy
What are your gloves?
Fish Monkey Wooly Half Fingered Gloves
Thats sick guys...WOW
Amazing video boys! Red Lake crappies are magical!
The only video of poor fish handling and some fans are losing their minds. Give SOBI a break ya! It happens! People out here acting like they NEVER handled fish poorly.
What a great day! Love the selective harvest you promote! The katana noodle with tikka flash is such a great combo! Keep it up!
Great video sobi, thanks brother.
Sick Sammy! Hey Hayes!!😎
Kudos on you for being resource minded. Not keeping all you could just because. Well played sir
❤️🎣
this is unreal. UN-real. And top notch production. You did it again Sobi! Your vids get me yoked to go fish.
Not cool boys even my kids got mad about it but we still allow 2nd chances and all the other videos are much better fish handling hope is a lesson learned
🤘 Good video 📹
I like all your content keep it up 🤘
Talk about bent rods. Holy crap. Way go guys. Such a fun video to watch.
