Trying to make my wife understand that you can never have to many buckets has been a battle.

I have never went ice fishing but I already know I would be the ice castle guy. Reminds me of duck hunting in one of the permanent duck blinds. Any “sport” where you can fix breakfast while you do it is my kind of sport.

My father built his own ice shack when i was a kid. It was just a small thing on skis big enough for 2-3 people with a tongue to hook up to a snowmobile, had a couple benches, a window, a couple holes in the floor, and a little propane heater. We'd chuck the tip ups way out, sit inside and fish with rods and wait for flags, run out with the sled when they pop up. Probably some of the best times of my childhood right there.

"Pick one up every time I go there - use it as a shopping basket" Story of my adult life right there.

You guys forgot the “fishes out of truck” guy. That’s the way to do it.

I would be in the Bear Grills group. Sitting on a 5 gallon bucket watching 4 holes and skimming the ice off the holes constantly. Long Johns, coveralls, 3 pairs of socks, 2 stocking hats, and loving every minute of it.

I’d say there’s also a 4th, the guy who drills 100 holes and covers the entire lake.

I grew up in a poor family that didn't have a lot. But my pops was a dark house spear man. This was the 1960s. That old shanty put a lot of food on the table. Here I am all these years later... Still doing the same thing, and still more poor than most. It doesn't matter how fancy your rig is. Those are some great times out on the ice.

I remember stepping in one of those wide holes as a little kid and getting soaked up to my waist. We were done fishing that day. My dad once left his half-finished icehouse too close to the road, and it got picked up by the garbage truck. Lol! I can still see it now! Being crushed like a pop can and put in the back. Good times, good times.

I went ice fishing for the first time yesterday and I feel like I can relate to this

I’ve been all 3 of these guys at various points! I’m pretty much exclusive to the pop up tent now though. Don’t have to worry about lifting it out of slush and lets me fish all the lakes around here.

"Oh yeah no for sure!" I don't think a sentence can get any more midwest 🤣

Now that’s what we’re talking about! Great content as always! We just got back from a 5 day trip and our motto is “Winter camping with some fishing thrown in for good measure”

My first winter in the U.P. Michigan. I’ve fished with all those guys this year lol.

I have a painting business and a 5 Gallo bucket hoarding problem I’ve reduced my stash but at one time I had quite a collection, you actually can have to many

where’s the guy that only comes as an excuse to get drunk

This has Letterkenny vibes all day long. Great work gentlemen.

He literally said he only wants trophies, he had to throw them back. He's a friend of the fishes.

I am pretty certain I have a permanent indentation in my butt from sitting on buckets ice fishing as a kid. There was always a thermos with hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps (don’t tell your mother). Good times? You betcha! 👍 Thanks for another great video.

My dads pickup was our ice house as kids , drill holes stare out the window, we use 2 bobbers 1 in the hole that lot of the time you can’t see, run enough slack in your line to hook the second bobber up and leave on the ice, when you see the second bobber scooting across the ice towards the hole bail out as fast as you can, try not to forget where the door handle is during all the excitement.

*Seriously can't get enough of these 🤣 let me know if you need another dude to help drill holes, your highness hahaha.*

Just gotta make sure you don’t get into a stoned trance while looking at the screen, that’s the biggest danger

I have zero experience with any ice fishing and never lived anywhere that it was even possible. I’ll just take your word for it, that it’s like this here.

Im 65. Gettin ready to go ice fishin in a little while.jan 26th 2024.this warm winter has been killin us with bad ice. Gotta be careful. Great to read all the comments. Dad took me when i was 3 or 4. Never stopped fishin. Good luck to all. These videos are great.

I’ve been all three, now I’m the bucket guy, fair weather ice fisherman!!!!!!

I know it’s safe and all, but there is something bout camping on frozen ice that gives me the chills.

FLAG!!! I fall for it every time I do the same to my wife when we’re hunting together… there’s a deer…

I guess I’m behind the times using a hills brother coffee can hobo stove for heat and a bucket to sit on from the 80s that emphasizes it is asbestos free joint compound. I always get lots of interest in the coffee can stove and did get portable sonar that is a game changer from the 90s since I last ice fished as a child glad to get back into it and upgrade equipment the next couple seasons

When the guy in the shack said he was marking a few, I started chuckling. The bucket guys always seem to do better? Don’t they get cold?

If you watch the podcast it makes this video 5 times more funny 😂🤣 loved the video

Ice fished for years growing up - had my own hut and snowmobile. Spent 50% of the time in the hut...the other 50% sittin' on the ski-doo seat next to the hole I'd drilled - jiggin'. Some damn good times. Listenin' to the sounds of pressure cracks, watchin' the lake water go up and down in the hole when a bombardier would drive by (pressure wave). One year we had to walk 3 miles through 2ft of water on top of the 30" ice to get to the hut...just too much water to take the snowmobiles out. It was surreal - felt like Jesus. Ice fishing can be an irresistible compulsion. Plus - there's beer involved.

Really food. I too do promotional vids but you guys are masters. Really good job.

Beautiful vintage STIHL hat; didn't know I needed one of those until today

Lol, three types of weekend warrior is what ya got there bud. Ya know the clowns that are all bunched up together because they all assume there must be fish there if that's where everyone else is. It all starts with one permanent.. hilarious.

number one just seems over all a happier person.

If I was to live where hard water seasons happen I’d have the ice house RV or his type trailer or I’d stay home lol 😂

I wouldn’t know about any of this. The ice is a little thin this time of year in south Florida.

As a guy from Georgia, I experienced this once about 10 years ago. I had a friend who moved to Maine and met a group of guys there that did this. It was very cold to me but so much fun. They had 2 utility type sheds on the lake and we fished, ate, and drank pretty much all weekend. It was awesome and the yelling "FLAG!" was a real thing haha.

That ice shanty is on my bucket list.

I’m the hole hopper . Turning the lake into Swiss cheese

I prefer more BBQ and Beer happening around me when I ice fish. But all in all I can relate to this video.

I know nothing of ice fishing but its great to see people enjoying things

Another one let’s go loved the first one ! 🧊 🐠

my favorite type of Ice Fisherman is the drunk Minnesotan who falls through the ice at the wrong time of the year.. sometimes with his truck

Seriously….i didn’t know they made a trailer shanty. I’m from Lake St, Clair…the guys actually build their shanty once they can go on the ice…..and then when the ice melts…..most shanties end up in the lake. The local party /bait store that is lakeside is filled with parked pick up trucks every weekday…..they park there and walk out to their shanty…..I guess their wives think they are at work.

Another awesome video well done you bet ya

another banger, frigging love you boys!!! cheers from canada eh! smokin a fat bowl for you boys LOL ICE PRINCESSSS

Should have had a spearing guy walk out of his dark house looking all primal…lmao

Your videos are funny I can’t relate to them at all because I live in Florida the only ice I see is at the gas station or in a whiskey glass that I’m still drinking while I fish.

Went for the first time this weekend. Didn't even have a bucket and used a chainsaw as my auger

This is the best channel on yt

I've never been so proud to have grown up on a Wisco lake with my Dad and Bro's doing this kind of nutty sh*t. 🥰

Haven’t even seen snow where I live in 2 years but yeah sure I’ll give this a like

Great ice fishing in Quebec! Who doesnt love Quebec!? Give this guy a pupper!

I tried ice fishing on a bucket, and in a portable hard bottom shanty. I quit both kinds and wait for summer now 😇🤣😂😅

And people make fun of "Florida Man?" 😁

Watching this after getting home from slaying slab crappies today in east Texas reminds me of why I still live here next to Sam Rayburn lake that’s to dam cold lol 😂

Bahaha. This is a good one buddy. Nice work

I found 8 5 gallon buckets dumpster diving, some even had the fancy kids with a gasket. God bless.

That bucket life!

I'm the ice castle guy but with a pop up hub. A rattle reel and a rod with loose drag and I take a nap and wake up with a fish on😂

Nailed it!

Always good for a laugh

bringing a portable wood mini furnace is so worth the extra setup if you are staying long enough.

Yes, there is the truck guy and now we can add the Snow Bear guy. I actually saw 6 of those 60-100 thousand dollar machines within a quarter mile of each other out on Devils Lake the other day. Who the --------can afford these things? And who the -------decided to paint them white? It must be the stealth factor that makes them so expensive.........

This is so accurate it hurts.

I'm all 3 of them! Including saying I caught my limit on way to the bar!!

My names Tyler too and I love watching flags go up! Ik his pain. Lol

"Ooh yeah, no!" Got me

You should do 5 types of hunters

Man that Ice Castle is sweet, you don’t even have to go home and watch The Packer’s game

Wow, I barely noticed the Fleet Farm pimping. Very slick.

The fish castle is still cheaper than a divorce. 😂

I’m the minimalist lmao but I just bought a tent and garmin, so worth it

You're supposed to yell 'Hey your flags down!' whenever there is a new guy. Works once everytime.

This one was so good lmao

I laughed too hard at this 🤣

That’s the nicest ice camp I ever seen

One of them shoulda had a person next to them who knew nothing about ice fishing

How we ice fish in Massachusetts: Drill holes, set the tip-up’s, make a hockey rink, play pond hockey until the flags go up, drink beer, listen to the bruins matinee games, bring a small grill and small grill pit for deep ice lakes.

Wheres the Hole Hopping guy? Drills 200 holes through out the lake in constant pursuit of the fish.

This is great

The only thing you've catching is a buzz😂🤣😂

Pretty accurate

Gotta be a Beaver Dam tip up!

Classic!

I’m all about a flip up, a vexilar, and a school of crappie. Jigging til I’m out of maggots

Anyone that goes ice fishing is clinically insane. Nothing could make me go out there and freeze my ass off, unless I was seriously starving.

I'm the tipup guy lol 🤣 no tent no heater and I kill it. All about the jigging

You forgot the southerner who's just heard of ice fishing

100% Ice Castle Guy has holes drilled and tipups out, too.

I always catch my limit but I’m usually the only one! Lol

Portable guy all the way, but if I lucked into a ice castle that'd be cool too

Im a bucket guy, my pappy’s a bucket guy and his pappy ‘fo him

when it comes down to catching fish....I am the Portable guy. I stay warm and move where the fish are.

I gotta find that sweat shirt, that says drilling to close

Yeah. Don't see many of the old time ice shantys anymore. Basically an out house on the lake.

Love it

The guy with bucket, he'll survive alot longer
