You've been sitting on this great ice fishing footage since March, just waiting to get us all hyped up a couple weeks before ice season. Love it!

Have traveled to Lake Winnipeg many times starting 20+ years ago and I really don't know where to start but you're spending a lot of time and money with hopes of catching something really special. In my experience you have to be very mobile. You're spending a lot of precious time and money to make the trip. I, personally, would absolutely not lug a massive fish house up there. I've been up there when you had to have two extensions on your auger to get through the ice. If you're extremely lucky, you'll have a year where you can get around with a properly equipped 4X4 pickup but many years we would not have been able to fish without a snowmobile or tracked quad. A decent two up snowmobile with a covered pull behind sled that attaches to your sled with a static coupler and a rack for your auger gives you the ability to be constantly on the move until you start to locate pods of huge fish. You'll know that you're on them when everyone in your party is icing giants which sometimes take hours or even days to locate. If you're catching 2-7 pounders, move on, you can catch them at home. Plan on experiencing busted equipment and horrible weather conditions, I could go on and on including one year when we had a pressure ridge form out from the access during the day while we were out on the lake forcing us to drive many miles across the lake to another access point where we were very, very lucky to get off the lake. That was a decent fish in the video, when you're with a group of 3 or 4 guys and you're all putting fish like that on the ice you'll have experienced fishing nirvana. Your group should be loosely spread out and leapfrog around once someone gets a decent fish, like 50-100 yards until you really get them dialed in. To fish it right is truly exhausting as I get quite a bit older I have to be honest with myself and not attempt it on a year without optimal weather and ice conditions. Best of luck to everyone, we've made a lot of friends up there over the years, mostly friendly and helpful Canadians some of which we, in turn, helped out. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with sitting in a fish house drinking beer and eating deer sausage, just not here imho (well, drinking beer on the ice is illegal in Canada fyi).

The overlay of the garmen over the video is a sweet idea

20:47 - Me: "And I subscribe to this guys' newsletter" LOL!

5th, 10th, 30th time might not be the charm! I've had whole days like that! You see them, they nudge the bait but just won't commit! So frustrating! Thanks for the chuckles, fellas!

Good times! Good people! Enjoyed the video!!

Giant walleye and thru the ice amazing thanks for showing.

way to feed the fever! cant wait for this ice fishing season to start... i would love to ice fish like that for a change ... what comfort! keep those ice fishing videos coming... what a freakin tank of a walleye!!!

This video was super fun. Really enjoyed it guys!

Shoot! I bet that was hard waiting all open water season to put this banger out! Well done! I bet that fish Brett couldn't get in 4 times was a burbot Nice work gents

Brett's Randy Savage "oh yeah" had me rolling! Awesome fish Nick! It looks like you guys had a blast.

What an experience that must of been.Dammm that looked amazing,from the fishing,the cooking and the yeti itself.Just awsome

LOL! "I'm gonna poop my pants!"🤣 Man, them Walleye can make a grown man look silly! Great Video highlighting Lake Winnipeg. You guys are a lot of fun to watch. Catching Big momma Greenbacks on Lake Winnipeg never gets old.

I just stumbled upon this video.. you guys are funnyy! In a good way. Bretts reaction to that mondo mark is priceless 😂😂! Grats nick on that sow of a walleye!!

Easily the best Ice Shack fishing video ever. Thanks dudes!

Target Walleye Brett...Is my hero;)

Great Video guys, the Livescope footage overlay with the video is a real nice touch!

❤🎣 can’t wait for this upcoming ice season!

What a fish!! Your excitement was so good! Just like a kid

That's the thing about ice fishing, always have SO much food to eat, fish fry, steak, potatoes, bacon, burnt ends, beef jerkey, beer, reefer, the thing ya cant notice while watching on KZfaq is the smells!!!😂 3-4 guys consuming food and drink like that can get pretty aromatic, especially when it becomes a game,🤢 it always happens on every ice fishing trip lol! 🍻✌🇨🇦

Looks like a terrible time…. to be a big walleye! 😂

Love the video, Nick! I love that you guys hoarded footage from late last season to get everyone hyped for this season! 🙌 P.S. Definitely digging that Livescope overlay. Trend setter!

Wtf! 3min in and that happens! That’s so sick man. Awesome vid. Thank you. Congrats. ✌️

Love the overlay @5:20

Great video Nick!

nicks reaction to that first fish was hysterical, and that coffee press exploding LMFAO

So sick! Nice fish! Can't wait to hit the ice.

magnum eyezzzzz 😍😍😍😍

I feel Brett's pain. Done that too many times! Lol I have that ice fishing itch even more now!

Awesome fish! Congrats buddy 🎣

Damn dude thats a MONSTER. I caught 1 30" eye in my entire life at age 14...im 34 now. Great work!!

Welcome to the north!

Great film choice

Great video! Was awesome meeting and chatting with you at the Wpg show. Drag Brett up with you next time! Hope you guys are able to get back up to MB for a fishing trip soon.

So unreal! That was amazing fishing...how can a person even come home and fish on the home lake after tanks like those? Spoiled is all I can think. Do I even want to fish there? Yes! Ha, ha, ha!

Great fish! At 2 3/4” and 5/8ths ounce that is a stout ripper. Here I was wondering if a 2” ripper was to big to fish winter. I guess it’s only too big if they don’t eat it and they are eating….. Dude that shot with the overlay while he was fighting the fish was super awesome!!!! Your production has leveled up bud.

If you don't want to get mobbed out there, you've gotta clean up the fish skins after filleting. 😉

Great video nick, me and some friends are going to Winnipeg in late January. What’s your suggestion for line weight and type? Thanks!

Wow Congrats, Welcome to the Dirty30Club

Looks like and absolute blast! What 2500 Ballistic are you running with that?

So you use active captain to your phone, then screen mirror to the tv?

🙌🏻

This is awesome, my buddies and I are going to look into it. When I’m March did you actually go and how late in the year does lake Winnipeg usually allow for this? Looks like a perfect spring break trip!!

How did you get that livescope connected to the TV

Nice

Bro i hope you got a graphite copy of that absolute hawg

What unit do you guys use to have the screen play/HDMI setup?

Fish for burbots I love big burbot videos

What size rattle trap was that

how long was that walter out of the water !!!!! 7 min ?? thats so bad boys . show the lake respect and handle the fish quick and gentle

How do you get the Livescope on your phone and tv?

They only call it " Big Windy" for a reason.

In a sleeper for 3-4 days and didn't have one beer?

This peaked my interest so i looked the guy up. $600 bucks a day to rent. Thats a hard Pass.

it's not good to let the fish go, and if you don't need the fish, then give it to the cripples or beggars, it will be a good God-pleasing deed.
