200 Anglers in Minnesota got stuck on a broken ice sheet today. That might be a new Minnesota record! I'm in Wisco and have thousands of miles of open water trout streams to enjoy Jan-May.
I rarely ever comment but I have to say you have some of the best fishing content I have ever come across. I have just watched a lot of your longer film like videos, and they truly are films. Excellent editing and unmatched beauty in the fiilming. Thank you!
I love that bit about not keeping secrets. I was walking off nipissing last week, we fished for 30 hours and the eyes had lock jaw. The last 5 hours or so we discovered they didn't want stuff moving. As soon as you set your rod in a holder they were there. We told everyone we saw on the way off the ice.
If you guys plan on having more than 1 kid, I'd suggest doing it soon. I've got 3. I have 11, 7, 2 year old. Makes it very hard to do a bunch of outdoors activities. Just food for thought. We enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work Mr
I ice fish vicariously through Jay. I moved to Florida 8 years ago from Michigan. I grew up ice fishing and it’s so nice to be able to tune in and rekindle some of those awesome memories from when I was a kid.
I just circled back to this great video, starting to think about this upcoming season and hoping it’s better than the flop of a winter we had in Michigan last year!
This time of year I have to live vicariously through RUclips fishermen since we're still nearly a month from good ice in west Michigan. I'm also someone who started fishing later in life a few years ago at 40, so I find vids like yours invaluable, and have learned so much. I always appreciate them.
Fix your tailgate latch! I had the same problem. Take the panel off the inside of gate and clean the dust out. Spray with silicone or wd 40 and work it. Takes all of 5 minutes! Keep up the great vids!
I just catching up on some videos and oh my goodness! I thought you were going for an icebath! Thanks for the video and open moment of what is going on in your world. It makes you human. I am totally sold on the Catch and Cook. It is hands down the best I've eaten!
I'd like a video of you "getting emotional talking about it." Nothing is more motivating for me personally than seeing someone work hard and achieve their dreams. Keep Slayin' Jay.
@Jay Siemens in a situation like this grab your spud bar and your ice saw, sink them both in and tie off to them, its not perfect but it will help. SO interesting to see them miss the spoon and immediately switch to the plastic bait. Very different from other species.
You need to come to the states and sight fish with a spear. You'll get nice whitefish high in the water column to spear and can still see perch on the bottom
Congratulations to you and Sam for the new baby. My girlfriend and I just had our daughter back in September so I understand where you're coming from. It can definitely be tiring. But little bean is the best thing that's ever happened for us
Thanks for the little extra about the Eskimo Superior system. It answered my lingering questions perfectly. Glad I popped on their Black Friday sale this past weekend. Always great content!
I did the same,bought the fat fish 949ig this weekend,dont think it will be here in time for the weekend,we should have a good 5-9" by the weekend.Tight lines!
Deer season over for me here In Michigan. Time to start watching yous Canadians walk on water. Can't wait for water to harden up around here. Go team catch n cook
Jay, your videos on the ice make me cold all over down here in Florida. Hello and Merry Christmas to Sam and the baby!! As well as everyone else here!!
I'm glad to hear things are good. I for one have been watching you since you filmed for uncut. Your camera work is legendary, your personality is gold. The fishing is just the cream of the crop
Hey Jay! You're one of my favorites to watch ice fishing videos on. Ice fishing is definitely one of my favorite things to do and I have a lot to learn but I always enjoy your videos. This is one of the activities I get to spend with my dad he's 72 as of now. I bought one of your packs off of your site and excited to share with my dad on the ice. Thank you for all you do and the content you share!
I usually pull the block out but if I have to push it under I tie a piece of paracord to it so I can pull it back into place when I'm done fishing I still Market heavily it helps to make the hole safer faster
I have a couple of spots where I can catch 13"-14" Brookies and they are some of my absolute favorite fish to go after. Pound for pound probably one of the best fighters out there and some of the best eating fish a guy can catch.
Hey Jay I’ve been a big fan over the years and I’ve never seen you forget the ice anchors. Note for next time when you have ice saw cut some small blocks out and weigh down the corners of your shanty with the and some snow
Still patiently waiting for first ice down here in illinois/Wisconsin area. Been having some weird weather lately, it was starting to get cold enough then the temps shot back up again. Really looking forward to trying out my new gear!!
Awesome videos fellow angler. To make your life easier make a smitty sled with skis. I've been in your shoes before, bringing everything but the sink 😆
For a second there, I thought you were going to show us how to get out of the water once you fall in. Any day on the lake is better than a day in the office.
Best ice fishing is 5-6fow in places like long point. There’s nothing better then watching my kids stare down a hole watching fish and getting excited instead of staring at a screen
Glad to hear you are trying to balance things with family being top priority. Love watching you. My last season in MB so looking forward to it. Moving to BC. Dont think there is too much hard water there
Great video, reminds me of sturgeon spearing season in WI. Get catch and cook stocked at Menards! Their grocery section is fairly minimal, but that makes it easier to find the good stuff. Looking forward to footage with the kiddo to help me convince my wife we should take our son along when we ice up in the next month. He'll be about 4 months so I'll be interested to see what kind of gear is available for the little ones
Next time you forget your anchors, drill a hole where you'd put one and loop a strap around a piece of wood and put the wood in the hole. Same concept as a toggle bolt.
Hey Jay, can you do a video on falling through the ice, I know it's dumb but can you do a video on falling into the water you can do it in a pool. I see alot of videos where people have both jacket and bibs on and it floats, but you know alot of us that hike out usually take off our jackets and just wear a bib and a hoodie and our muck boots, I just want to see how the flotation technology works with only half of it on. I know you're supposed to have the full suit on to get it's full effect, but it's just not realistic.
TO JAY & SAM: PLEASE, DO NOT HESITATE to share a way to donate to the HANNON FUND, if there is one still that is. (Just remember a livestream before Hannon arrived, the donations were going to 'Hannon Fund'). I think I can speak on behalf of everyone who adores your family, we're here to help and more than glad to as well!!
This is my first season sight fishing and it's by far my favorite way to fish, it almost feels like cheating😂 but I know exactly what you mean about smaller ones getting you excited sight fishing but when your not sight fishing it's almost annoying catching them
Jay! My first ever! comment on RUclips.. You have made me such a better fisherman! New "unofficial" (released, alone) record Tiger Musky in Colorado. I'm from Wisconsin. With all the comments I'm sure we could wright books. Personally, the dinner bell thing and line seems hard to figure out. I'm sure you have more videos on that... also with and secret bait that doesn't get talked about online. I'm not famous like you but would like to talk? Keep on being awesome!

I don't ice fish. But I watch Jay Ice fish. And that's good enough
Beg to differ lol
Get out there and watch him lol 😆
What will it take to convince you to ice fish?
You’re missing out bro. Ice fishing is the pinnacle.

the tent blowing away made me giggle lol.

That, is and always will be the best way to experience life and ice fishing. No sitting at home!
23:28 and this marks the day Jay never forgets his anchors for his shanty again. Super cool video. Looks incredibly fun to sight fish!
Gotta love the Nats. Warm, waterproof, and light...

Your so right Jay I have an MRI today and your ice videos really help man. Thanks.
I’m going ice fishing today, never gone before, thought I’d watch some ice fishing vids
NZ crew checking in
The info, the gear, the fish, the 'tography, is always top knotch with Jay. Raising the bar on composition all-ways.
Will be learning to ice fish for the first time here in a few weeks and pretty excited about it!
Remember icepicks and good luck
“Stay!” 😂😂
Didn’t work for you when you were little. 😊
Fix your tailgate latch! I had the same problem. Take the panel off the inside of gate and clean the dust out. Spray with silicone or wd 40 and work it. Takes all of 5 minutes! Keep up the great vids!
Also, stores in Alaska would LOVE to have some Catch and Cook!!!!!
I just catching up on some videos and oh my goodness! I thought you were going for an icebath! Thanks for the video and open moment of what is going on in your world. It makes you human. I am totally sold on the Catch and Cook. It is hands down the best I've eaten!
As always a great video. Enjoy

If Catch and Cook is available in Lincoln, NE, I’ll be buying it.
I've never commented on youtube before but this guy is awesome
An old timer use to call it watching t,v when we speared Pike love site fishing 🎣.
Deer season over for me here In Michigan. Time to start watching yous Canadians walk on water. Can't wait for water to harden up around here. Go team catch n cook
Jay, your videos on the ice make me cold all over down here in Florida. Hello and Merry Christmas to Sam and the baby!! As well as everyone else here!!
You are the best icefisher ever 😊
I'm glad to hear things are good. I for one have been watching you since you filmed for uncut. Your camera work is legendary, your personality is gold. The fishing is just the cream of the crop
You can shovel snow and slush around the skirt to help keep the tent in place
that's why you keep the pegs inside the tent when you take it down....I keep them in the pockets on the inside tent wall
I was just up in Michigan o r fishing got 3 burbot 7 splake fish only 5 were keepers and a 15 inch pear h was REALY fun ten out of ten recommend
Great video...for a bait fisherman

@Jaysiemens1 done. Thank you!
Kenora is such a cool area. Launched out of there for the Canada trip this year
I usually pull the block out but if I have to push it under I tie a piece of paracord to it so I can pull it back into place when I'm done fishing I still Market heavily it helps to make the hole safer faster

Watching this while placing my Frostbite order was not a good idea! LOL
Hey Jay I’ve been a big fan over the years and I’ve never seen you forget the ice anchors. Note for next time when you have ice saw cut some small blocks out and weigh down the corners of your shanty with the and some snow
Thanks again Jay, love the videos!
I always get jealous. You guys always get ice weeks before us.
Just received my Catch and Cook with Seasonings bundle. Now to catch some fish so I can try it out! 😅
Pumped for the new Canadian angle series.
Still patiently waiting for first ice down here in illinois/Wisconsin area. Been having some weird weather lately, it was starting to get cold enough then the temps shot back up again. Really looking forward to trying out my new gear!!
Same weather weirdness here in Eastern Ontario... blah
I like that tiny jig, looks good for brownies and arctic char here in Norway.
Awesome videos fellow angler. To make your life easier make a smitty sled with skis. I've been in your shoes before, bringing everything but the sink 😆
For a second there, I thought you were going to show us how to get out of the water once you fall in. Any day on the lake is better than a day in the office.
Back on the ice with Jay!
Best ice fishing is 5-6fow in places like long point. There’s nothing better then watching my kids stare down a hole watching fish and getting excited instead of staring at a screen
super fun video Jay
Great video as always, I can’t wait to get out and post some good footage throughout the ice season 🎥🎣🇨🇦👍🐟📷
I can't wait to go fishing with Jay!!! It's not confirmed yet, but one day it will happen 😭😭😭
When I grow up I wanna be like Jay!
They have underwater drones now for $400 ish 130 ft depth would love to see you use one
Jay you are the man!!
ur videos are lovely bro thanks for the good content 🙏🏽❤️
Great video Jay. Oh yeah, the shanty move was a great surprise. Knew you'd snag the tripod first. Great save!
Awesome to hear we’ll be able to get the catch n cook in the states eventually
LMAO NICE TO SEE EVEN THE PROS DO MISTAKES. been there.... good video makes me want to go for trout
Hint of jalepeno are awesome too
I love these videos, I've gone ice fishing 3 days in a row
Awesome.
Thanks from alaska
Jay you need to make a Smitty Sled !
Lmao that ending though 🤣
Me and my bro billy and Willy think your the legend bud hahaha awesome vids man !
Thanks!!!
Great video Jay! I’ve left my ice stakes once before and had a similar experience. That brought back some memories of that very comical day. 😂
Glad to hear you are trying to balance things with family being top priority. Love watching you. My last season in MB so looking forward to it. Moving to BC. Dont think there is too much hard water there

Thanks Jay!
nice to see you out jay thanks for bringing the early season hype congratulations on your family
So frickin cool!! Bucket list for me.. thanks Jay.. peace
Jay u are the best, I’m so ready for ice in Michigan 🤘
Toronto sportmans show in March , i think you should book that lol
Love sight fishing! High energy!
omg! ikr, I love ice fishing too, can't wait until first ice.
Badass setup bro!
Srsly if Jay posted every Monday I would start to love mondays
Glad all you lost was the water bottle. Could of been much worse. Awesome video
Watching from cancun Mexico
Hopefully when I get back to Michigan for 1st ice
For a sec I thought you didn't have hooks on your baits cause you missed em so much 😂 Great vid Jay!
wish you did more brook trout fishing videos! love it!
hey jay big fan here love the mb content a buddy took me sight fishing we couldnt help be giddy and now.... i cant go back to 6 inch holes xD
Hi Jay, love your channel, I have the Eskimo 450XD, I bought the Clam bag for $25, much easier with a zipper down the side.
Absolutely love the gear review.
Next time you forget your anchors, drill a hole where you'd put one and loop a strap around a piece of wood and put the wood in the hole. Same concept as a toggle bolt.
That’s a great idea!
The unexpected may have been anticipated but it’s also priceless. 😊 Hope all is good and thanks for sharing excellence. 👍🏻
Thanks Tim!
Awesome video jay ! Can’t wait to try out my new livescope plus

Ice Season!!! Love to watch it in my 65 degree weather.
Coming to AZ in the spring??
