on April 10 2016 I caught a lot of crappies like over 10 crappies and a really giant 3 pounder bass!!!! That bass was the biggest fish I have ever caught in my LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I plan to go ice fishing this week. its been too warm to go the last few weeks and should have some safe ice. I plan on catching some bass, bluegill, and especially crappie through the ice. this will be my seconds time icefishing.
Pro tip lol. Buy some bait the night before. Grind it up and put it thru the holes you'll fish the next morning. Works damn well with bass and crawps. I'd catch a bunch of frogs and kill a few, chop them up and toss them off the dock the night before. Doesn't work so well for larger fish though. You're limit is gonna be like 2.5 lbs at very very most. But last time I did it, I caught 37 bass and perch in one sitting, in under 2 hrs. Large mouth, small, rock, big sun perch that somebody set loose in the lake. If chum works for sharks, why not fish?
Not sure where you are fishing but where I'm from them are little crappie. We fish the lakes in NE Corner of Indiana an 13" + is the normal size for us an I've caught an seen 20"+ crappie. Still lots of fun & good eating.
Coming from OZ, ice fishing is totally alien to me. I've heard a few dudes get killed each year, same as the rock fishing in OZ, but must admit, our fish tend to be just that bit bigger
+timwins31 I'm from Michigan and I was unaware of any size limit on the holes. there are guys up hear that cut huge rectangle holes to chuck spears at pike through.
+timwins31 yes its due to safety issues... sometimes lakes look like swiss cheese and there deadly for falling in the holes twisting ankles especially snowmobiles .... usually 12 inches is legal limit
I'm live I texas and we do a lot of night fishing. At A lot of the popular lakes people have green lights on their docks just for that reason. It's fun at night!!
Jixs 203 I live in Minnesota and ice can get up to 2 feet where I live. The ice only needs to be 4in deep to walk on so in most cases it is pretty safe to walk on ice. But always bring ice picks just in case.
Really luved the video. But ur fish finder caught my eye. How'd u set it up. It looks like a fish finder ud use on a boat and that's what I'm looking into setting up.
Awesome video and great early morning action! Couple questions? How was your slip bobber setup done (weighted or none weighted bobber , size bobber, bobber stop or none)? Any tips for baits to use when not using slip bobbers i.e. tungsten micro jigs? I see your not using a flasher but just a portable depth finder. Any special setup for that in settings vs normal use? Thanks in advance !
Two small splits hot and a small Aberdeen hook baited with a perch minnow. Micro jigs work too. That is indeed an ice flasher I'm using in the video. It uses graph mode, or flasher mode. Lowrance X-67C
Nice! Looked like a nice, calm, fish filled morning. Bet they tasted great.
+Ryan Costello crappie are the best!!!
+Blaine Tegaue (V for Vendetta) Arent they crappy? get it? ;3 no okay ;-;
2 things. 1 beautiful fishing very active. 2 that ice is pretty thin
I've never fished on ice but for that kind of haul I'd try it :)
Well done mate, I wish I could do something like this sometime! But I live of the coast off Australia.

looks like you hit this fish at the right time JB...Nice batch of panfish buddy...

Oh my, talk about fun, I cant wait to get on the ice this winter!
Man, in southern California, the closest thing we have to that is fishing through holes in the weed for bluegill! Thanks for the awesome video!
Oh crap, crappies! Not huge but very nice bite, good times :)
Nothing better than crappies man!!! Nice!!! We have a size and number limit here. Cool video man!!
This video is so calming
From the lack of commentary, I'm pretty sure they just posted this to make us all jealous ;)
Good video man, you found the crappie hole!

Nice!! That's some crazy good action. Looked like a blast!
Looked like a great day on the ice! Awesome video!

Nice fish catching.i wish to catch some fish like you are.
Man, that looks like so much fun. You ever make it north of the bridge for some ice fishing give me a shout. Good times on Superior right now.
Wow... thats some fast action.. Nice Vid...
Coming from OZ, ice fishing is totally alien to me. I've heard a few dudes get killed each year, same as the rock fishing in OZ, but must admit, our fish tend to be just that bit bigger
best i have ever seen ice fishing. Nice!!!
I have to say.. that looks like tons of fun.
Oh it is! So is the eating afterward :)
The Consummate Sportsman you had to go and make me hungry!! Haha. Good stuff!!

This looks so relaxing...

Nice vid! Nothing better than a crappy fry!
just watched. getting ready and jittery for the season. sweet vid. I too live in norther Mi. tight lines Man.
night time is better than morning :D
nice man
nice video, never watched ice fishing before, looks cool!
Yo the beginning tripped me out man
I might try this 2 rod setup seems pretty good
what happens when the fish is bigger than the hole?
Problem solve its illegal to make a hole bigger than the size the government says
+timwins31 I'm from Michigan and I was unaware of any size limit on the holes. there are guys up hear that cut huge rectangle holes to chuck spears at pike through.
+timwins31 Yup, spearing pike is a quite popular in the midwest. There are some videos on RUclips about it.
+timwins31 yes its due to safety issues... sometimes lakes look like swiss cheese and there deadly for falling in the holes twisting ankles especially snowmobiles .... usually 12 inches is legal limit
+timwins31 due to the fact you cant release it there "uptight" .... who wants to eat 40 inch pikes.... there much better fish that could be eatn
We be scared as buggery to sit on that ice and fish it ahahah,Good one mate.
the lantern is attracting them. that's an effective trick for crappie.
Derek Benson we should share..because...we help each other...
I'm live I texas and we do a lot of night fishing. At A lot of the popular lakes people have green lights on their docks just for that reason. It's fun at night!!
wow...i wish i can go there one day...
Feeding frenzy indeed. Nice vid!
Wow looks like a good day fishing.
Good vid, ill be going out this week .Thanks again .
that looks like a blast
Really small crappies , but a lot of action, looks like fun to me.
Michael Hutchison alot of small crappies can actually fill you up if u cook all of em
Sounds tasty for me tbh :P
you weren't kidding that was crazy
That was really exciting.
Nice craaaaps!
Nice
i love how they just flop around on the floor xD
dude you had a pretty crappie day!!
Great fun,I love it when the bite is on :-) Thanks for sharing :-)
Nice man, I just caught 2 nice rainbow trout a few hours ago. A great day for all (:
little ones taste great but man they are a pain in the ass to fillet
Ice fishing for Crappie is the best.
Good luck with the crappies
Loved the intro
I never liked fishing so much that I would go out after dark and freeze my ass off just to fish !!!
nice crappies!
WOW now that is a good day lots of crappies . where were you fishing at?
nice catch
Where do people find areas of strong ice? Aren't they ever afraid of falling through thin ice without knowing?
Jixs 203 I live in Minnesota and ice can get up to 2 feet where I live. The ice only needs to be 4in deep to walk on so in most cases it is pretty safe to walk on ice. But always bring ice picks just in case.
It's a crappie invasion !
That looks fun
this is awesome ! damn so much fun and it does work they u want it !
nice crappies bro
Really luved the video. But ur fish finder caught my eye. How'd u set it up. It looks like a fish finder ud use on a boat and that's what I'm looking into setting up.
It's a Lowrance X67C. Equipped with a special transducer for ice fishing. You can also hook it up on your boat with a regular transducer.
People how feels sad about fish just hahahah it's the fucking nature so it's natural
Fish-Fry tonight!
thanks for the video
awesome video
Why does he put a few back in?
Too small probably
nice little rod
Well it seems you did not need the heater, all that movement should have kept you warm enough. Good job
What sonar are you using? I much prefer the graph style or a flasher so I think that's what i am going to go with. Great videos!
It's an X67C by Lowrance. You can run it in either mode, it has both!
Almost got enough for lunch!
Awesome video and great early morning action! Couple questions?

whats the limit per day?
Great vid pal, outta curiosity do you eat the fish you catch? (just curious)
great clip man thanks. Hey can you tell me what kind of lantern that is that you are using? Thanks
Thanks, Laz. That's a Coleman, white gas lantern. Cheers!
That was a great vidieo
Do you prefer using these minnows over say a teardrop and spike? Just wondering
what lake where you fishing? great vid
I am not that good at fishing but you make it look easy
Caleb Jacobs Also at 5:24 i just started laughing.

What is the name of the lake? Good video : )
Is there just a billion crappie up north lol ? We have many in texas

I had no idea you could eat these. I always considered them a junk fish that ate my worm all the time!
The Consummate Sportsman What kind of fishing rod on your right I would like to buy one.
wow you had a good bite going there, ice to see. Was that a back bay? or a main lake?
This was a back bay.
That looked fun as hell JB, how deep were ya gettin' them?
13' of water, about half way down.
