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 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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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'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.
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!
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
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
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 😆
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!
@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
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!!
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
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.
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
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.
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
Love the videos you make. I try to watch all of them. I just started ice fishing last year and was wondering if you had any pointers on how to ketch pike
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.

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!
Just an epic save!

That, is and always will be the best way to experience life and ice fishing. No sitting at home!
As always a great video. Enjoy

You are the best icefisher ever 😊
Gotta love the Nats. Warm, waterproof, and light...
There's nothing better than being a dad!

Your so right Jay I have an MRI today and your ice videos really help man. Thanks.
Pumped for the new Canadian angle series.
The info, the gear, the fish, the 'tography, is always top knotch with Jay. Raising the bar on composition all-ways.

Also, stores in Alaska would LOVE to have some Catch and Cook!!!!!

Great video as always, I can’t wait to get out and post some good footage throughout the ice season 🎥🎣🇨🇦👍🐟📷
I’m going ice fishing today, never gone before, thought I’d watch some ice fishing vids
Back on the ice with Jay!
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
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
Jay u are the best, I’m so ready for ice in Michigan 🤘
So early, cheers Jay!
Always amazed by the production quality of your videos
Much appreciated!
Jay you are the man!!
nice to see you out jay thanks for bringing the early season hype congratulations on your family
I've never commented on youtube before but this guy is awesome
just recieved my catch an cook order, stoked to try it
Awesome to hear we’ll be able to get the catch n cook in the states eventually
I love these videos, I've gone ice fishing 3 days in a row
If Catch and Cook is available in Lincoln, NE, I’ll be buying it.
Thanks again Jay, love the videos!
Great video Jay. Oh yeah, the shanty move was a great surprise. Knew you'd snag the tripod first. Great save!
Great video...for a bait fisherman
super fun video Jay
Kenora is such a cool area. Launched out of there for the Canada trip this year
Love sight fishing! High energy!
the tent blowing away made me giggle lol.
omg! ikr, I love ice fishing too, can't wait until first ice.
I like that tiny jig, looks good for brownies and arctic char here in Norway.
You are the best Jay! Quality and content are always top notch.
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 😆
Ice Season!!! Love to watch it in my 65 degree weather.
Coming to AZ in the spring??
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!
“Stay!” 😂😂
Didn’t work for you when you were little. 😊
@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 can shovel snow and slush around the skirt to help keep the tent in place
Absolutely love the gear review.
The unexpected may have been anticipated but it’s also priceless. 😊 Hope all is good and thanks for sharing excellence. 👍🏻
Thanks Tim!
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
I’m really excited for the ice season love your vids bro keeps a person going out
Jay your videos are awesome. Thank you for all you do. I
They have underwater drones now for $400 ish 130 ft depth would love to see you use one
Just received my Catch and Cook with Seasonings bundle. Now to catch some fish so I can try it out! 😅
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
So frickin cool!! Bucket list for me.. thanks Jay.. peace
Jay you need to make a Smitty Sled !
I always get jealous. You guys always get ice weeks before us.
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.

Love these sight fishing videos
wish you did more brook trout fishing videos! love it!
Like all your videos nice to see things are going well. Take time to enjoy the rush...
I can't wait to go fishing with Jay!!! It's not confirmed yet, but one day it will happen 😭😭😭
Srsly if Jay posted every Monday I would start to love mondays
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.
Another great video Jay !
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. 😂
An old timer use to call it watching t,v when we speared Pike love site fishing 🎣.
Badass setup bro!
Awesome video jay ! Can’t wait to try out my new livescope plus
Toronto sportmans show in March , i think you should book that lol
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

Love your content Jay. Keep up the good work.
Hint of jalepeno are awesome too
Love the vids! You have encouraged me to go out and find more fish during the winter
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.
