Ice Fishing Wisconsin

We're drilling holes right now. That's a lot of ice my friend. Yeah that's that's the camera hole. Drill is giving up huh? Wow that's that's some deep ice. No. How many holes did you drill with that already? It's barely made huh? Yeah. A lot of people here. Get the heat out. We'll get the other stuff in. What we need to do is hit some snow on these flaps. Okay. So we're pretty set with the shack. We put some snow on the edges to give it some good insulation. Looks good. Looking really good all the way around. And it's already warm in there without the heater being on right now. So once the heater gets going I think we're going to take off all our jackets and everything. Hey. Okay. And get a seat, rods, equipment. Getting all set up right here. Heater is going. Drilling holes very straight. Oh yeah. It's going on an angle a little bit. The fish will have to travel on an angle. They don't know we're sitting up here. Putting up the vex knob right there. It might not work. Oh it might not work? Why? Because it's going to be too far away from the hole in the shallow water to see my bait. I got my whole angle the way I didn't drill. Now we're setting up the camera here or something? Where do you want this? Like right here? That looks fine. Yep. That looks good. Oh boy I got that whole bed too. How far up you are from the bottom? I think maybe four inches. It looks like the bottom was on the screen there. Maybe I'm too close to the bottom. You got it huh? Yeah. That's good. Neat. Yep. I got it actually a little close to the bottom don't I? That's right. That's good. You think so? Yeah. I don't know. That's where all the fish are. But if they're feeding they're up higher. Huh? If they're feeding they're up higher. Rod set up right there. Got him? Oh. That's a, that's a pretty good size but he swallowed the thing. That's all right. I'll That's a pretty good size. Yep. And the other day when I went by myself here all of them were bigger like that. Okay thanks. Oh there you go. That's a fatty. That's on the egg. That's on the egg. Oh yeah. See that? See the egg? Yeah. I think I'll leave it on. Yeah you're not scum. Really small. Is it good? That's a small one. Yeah they're all bad. Wiggle it a little bit and wiggle it. Oh. Looks like a, well they're not bad. Yeah that's a pretty good size I think so. Yeah he's got a few shoulders on him. Yeah. I got one on this one now. I'll give him to this rod. Just a little bear. Tiny one huh? Yeah. On a wax one though. Don't want to bite. Oh. Tiny. It's a tiny little fish. This one I need, I need the surgery, surgery tools because my fingers are too big. I broke my line. Yep I did that before. You have to retie it. Okay I'll do that in a few seconds. In the meantime I'm gonna run this rod in here. Put this over here and I'll take a two minute. We got another one, big one coming through. Whoa that's a humungo. That's a good one. Get him out. Easy. That's a good one. That's a humungo. I snagged him on his eye. Does that count? Yep. That counts, that's good. Snagging on the eye or not, doesn't matter. I think my drag is just like so soft here. Okay back in action. So how many do we have in the, in the thing right now? Seven. Seven already huh? Yeah. We've only been here for like seven minutes. Just a little one. Tiny one huh? Yeah. Well that's eight minutes right there. Good one too. Not too bad huh? We're cleaning fish. Here's my corner. Mark him on the corner. I think the ticket is in smaller hooks. Yeah. And two pound chest line. I don't know I think you bought heavier line when you bought your line. No I got three on two pounds on one and four pounds on the other one. Okay well four that makes a lot of difference. Yep. Awesome. Oh I lost it. Okay another monster. Coming up. Yep. Oh that's a keeper. Oh look at the color on that thing. Yep that's a nice a nice bold bluegill. Yeah. Another mason like whopper. That's tiny. He wanted to stay up there. He's got some shoulder. Okay there you go. Coming up. Coming up. A lot of little ones will make one big one you know so what can you do? Want him? Coming up. Oh that's a monster. My buddy Mark would say that's a watch bob. That's that's that's a good size right there. Yep it is. That's for sure a good one. Look at that he even unhooked himself. Yeah that's what I like. Don't let him get down the hole. He's only going in the bucket. That's an invisible fish right there. Look at that he gobbled my bait. Yeah awesome. Can't even see my bait. Got one coming in he's gonna grab your bait. I doubt it. That's a nice one. Yeah that's a good size right there. I think you're getting hungry. Not too bad. Oh that's a big one. Don't let that one go. That's a nice one there. What's wrong with that one? No. Okay you're on your way to a number two limit. You know I haven't gotten a bite on this one in a long time. Check your depth. Put a wax worm on because overall I'm having more fish on the wax worm than spikes. I'm still catching a few on the coming up. Oh I want to inhale the bait. It's like a cat and mouse game right there. Look at him. Come on get it. Free meal with a hook in it. Got a camera? Yeah camera is going already. I didn't, I never turned it off. Okay. I'm playing the cat and mouse game right here with this one. Hoping that this will bite eventually. All I can do is catch them on spikes. I can't get a bite on a wax worm. That's tiny. Yep. Oh that's a good one here. Hey that was four fish just bang bang bang bang. Yeah. What are you doing over here? I'm still playing with this one. Look at him on the camera. Look at him. Okay so he's just sitting around there. There's another one shows up. Just raise it up real real slow. Just just finesse them up real real real slow. That ice does not sound good. You can't go through 30 inches of ice Claude. Wow look at the size of that thing. Yeah I wish I could make it somehow. You want to throw yours in here in this hole? Well I got one that I got to do surgery on here. Oh there comes another one. Man they don't even want to smell it Oh there comes another one. Okay raise it up. I'll show you how it's done. Okay go on down. There it is. Oh there he is. Oh that one was aggressive. Now put your back down. This one right here was just a bobbing. Better turn this. Jumbo. Jumbo perch. Oh boy. That's. I mean it's not a monster but there's good flies on them. Yeah. About a nine or ten incher. Big boy. This is it. The last of the day. The last big boy. And he is going back in. Going back in the hole. That's it. So we caught about 75. Kept about 40. And now it's time to head back and clean clean all the guts. So here is our catch for today. We kept 40 tan fish right here. Ready to be cleaned out. And no more snowing anymore. Got a lot of shacks out here. Look at that. Yeah. The pink shack. Truck. He caught three right there. He's still sitting there. He caught three today. And I could have given him some of ours but. Oh looks like he pulled one out. No. No. Fake. Fake call. That's it.
