Great music….. BUTT, YOU are the problem. Learn to use all the fish in the net and stop giving the rest of subsistence hunters and fishers a bad name. The wasteful act of throwing that pike in the lake are pure ammunition for those that want to put your lifestyle into the spotlight. I’m respectful and tolerant of your right to fish but I have zero respect and it pisses me off when it comes to that kind of waste. At the bare minimum be mindful of what you post on here. Brutal.
@@danfall1003If you’re correct with what you write then that’s really unfortunate. That may very well be the law and I wouldn’t be surprised one bit. Most people do not want to see any animal wasted like that. The OP should consider keeping it off the video unless they are trying make a statement. Regardless I appreciate your message. Thank you for posting. Take care.
@@r37l36 I am correct. Minnesota only allows whitefish as net take and the season is at the end of the year because it reduces walleye and pike bycatch. The big pike, however, know and understand the whitefish are in shallow spawning and they are very hard on nets. They rarely die unless the spin themselves up. The nets are also generally not left in during the daytime as the spawn is at nite and this reduces bycatch and net damage from pike. I net about once every 3 years.
@@danfall1003 glad to hear steps are being taken to minimize bycatch. I am an avid outdoorsman and enjoy hunting and fishing, so it’s upsetting seeing wasted game. I have seen at least twice where some of the older generation club pike and toss them back in the water simply because they are pike. Regardless, thank you for taking the time to explain.
Regulations in Minnesota state you cannot keep any other fish besides whitefish in your net. The northern we threw back swam away.
Very cool, Kelly- enjoyed seeing how it's done!
I net whities every fall. Devil track is a great lake to pluck a few fish from.
why did you chuck the pike dude wtf
real metis illegal catch; prohibited; might have been alive even
Very wasteful if that pike was dead. I keep decent pike to eat and it is also good smoked.
Luke Lizotte illegal catch silly

The pike is not legal harvest friend. He is required by law to return it to the lake, dead or alive.
