Congrats Mike on the 1K you earned it! Big Congrats to Kalis and that beauty sturgeon she caught! Was fun watching the battle. Nice follow up with the walleye as well. Mike you did a fantastic job with handling the fish and keeping things running smooth while Kalis had her day. You weren't just looking pretty lol it takes teamwork to pull it off. Good job!
Nice Sturgeon! Always a site to when when you pull them up. I can still remember my dad bringing one up at Scott's Rapids, just past Nutimik. This was before the time of cell phone cameras and whatnot, but it was around the 6ft long mark, and took almost an hour to bring in as the waters hit over 100 ft deep at one point. Nice video!
@@ReelLifeWithMike we've brought in a few others throughout the years, never through the ice though. I had to actually bring one in by hand, as our reel exploded. I was able to slowly pull it in using my hand and it just cooperated and came up slowly. From what I remember it was about a 36", so fairly small for a Sturgeon, but was right at the Dam (Slave Falls).
Again congrats on the 1k. That sturgeon was awesome! I've taken my wife fishing once and she caught a 21.5" smallmouth (her first ever fish 🙄 lol) and that setup looks so comfortable! I would much rather spend a night in there than any hotel Cheers and tight lines!
Thanks I would have a lot more but had an issue with my timing between the two cams because I was trying something new but next one will be much better. Thanks.
Woah I have never seen a sturgeon through the ice before... I haven't watched heaps of Ice fishing before though haha I'm really enjoying watching this ice fishing it is something really different from anything I do... Congratulations on the 1k legend 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Keep up the great work Tight lines 🎣
@@ReelLifeWithMike oh so it was a rare catch through the ice, Awesome job to both of you team effort there 🙂 Yeah I didn't think I had heard of ice fishing for sturgeon before 👍🏼 Keep up the great work
@@ReelLifeWithMike you and me both. I watched my dad land one by the locks about 20 years ago, about a 3 footer, unbelievable animals. I could only imagine one that size. How much do you think hers weighed?
I highly recommend the otter universel shelter lights, leave a little slack for all the wires they are very bring and I have not had an issue. Just becarful with the in off switch but if you buy 4-6 lights you will get a couple switches. You can hook 6 up in a row, one 7 ah lead acid battery runs my lights for 6-7 hrs
I've seen my fair share of live scope battles but that was one of the best ones I've seen. Good job Mike and Nice fish Mike's better half. Sorry don't want to butcher her name
Yeah she’s usually good with slowly lifting and reeling down but we did have an issue with the drag set and it wouldn’t tighten. We are also not pros and have lots to learn so thank you for the info. Thanks for watching.

That was fun to watch bringing in that Sturgeon!
Ha ha thanks. For sure it was a surprise.

Nice fish, young lady. I'm not much of a Sturgeon fan, but that's awesome. 👍👍👍

Yup I actually just bought two sets. I love them

Lol everyone butchers her name it’s all good. I’m hoping to incorporate Livescope cam in all my videos to come
What a fight. Way to go Kali!
Hey Mike what rods do you guys use?
I caught a sturgeon at Nutimik. It was 48" long.
Hey Mike, my shack is in the background of your video. I had much better luck at CIL. I only caught a couple Sauger at EOM.
ha ha thats awesome. Hope you dont mind. Yeah I am planning on some trips to other locations shortly
nice catch. Jealous.
Great fish but learn to lift with the rod and gather line with the reel. That will prevent a pile of line twist, Congratulations Kali!
Yeah she’s usually good with slowly lifting and reeling down but we did have an issue with the drag set and it wouldn’t tighten. We are also not pros and have lots to learn so thank you for the info. Thanks for watching.
@@ReelLifeWithMike No worries Mike I know the heat of the moment comes into play also!🤪
