Jay makes the best contribution to the Meateater crew! Always entertaining!

That’s Old school! going to try that when the ice finally hits in my area

The journey, the fellowship, and the deep fried goodness! Love it!

Good friends, good fishing, and good food. Great video, mahalo for sharing.

Best one yet!!! My family has been fishing this way and breaking trails in northern Ontario for decades! Only time I ever see my grandpa, uncles, and dad run is when they're running after a stick that's halfway down the hole! Love it!

Reminds me of my youth willow stick fishing. Really cool episode. Love the simplicity!!

Fantastic videography. Troy the Giant always makes for great content. Your adventures are unreal Jay you have a very blessed life.

This reminds me of perch fishing with tip downs . When they're biting, you will be running. Its so much fun with kids.

Boy, that looks like a vacation someone would pay for! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

Love the slow blues while willow picking on Hard to Get to!!!

We were in that area last September caught hundreds of blue walleye. What a great time and really neat to see how blue they were

Living the good life guys !

Nothing beats Canadian walley and the fresh fish fry dinner

Reminds me of ice-fishing near Merritt, B.C. when I was a kid with my Grandpa. Love it guys, more of this please.

We used to carefully split a hole in the branch around a foot from the thick end, and push a short stick through the hole, perpendicular to the length. If a perch pulled your switch in, you'd probably catch at the hilt and be OK.

Dang!! I thought that was me grabbing some willow branches on the second trip😂😂😂 too funny

Every. Single. Time. I watch Jay make fish fry, I just want more fish fry for myself.

man does that bring back memories, old school, awesome video

Awesome vid. Back to the basics of ice fishing in some incredible back country lakes 🤙

What a great video. "Stick will get them everytime!!"

Amazing episode ! Definetly refreshing style of fishing.

Very cool old school way to catch some nice fish!

Growing up in the 80s and 90s I always fished at an outfitter in Quebec just over the Ontario border from Ralphton. The Quebec government didn't believe blue walleye existed and would pay for specimens if they were actually blue walleye. I sent in an 8lb walleye and they sent me a check for $5,000. Always loved fishing in Canada the best. The ones we caught were way more blue. Even the gold bellies were blue.

great group of real fishermen.

great video. very fun to watch. Jay is very enjoyable to watch

after seeing this, I will definitely be willow stick fishing with my own kids one day

Lookin forward to seeing new ski doo in ‘24 Jay!

stick fishing looks so fun!

Get your plastic wrap from Costco in the yellow and blue food service size package. I use it for catering, and at home, fish, and meat storage, and even in the garden. Bout thirty bucks but it will will last you a year or two, and it's much more durable and easy to work with.

Nice video. Brand new sled brand new electric chain saw brand new gps, fishing with a stick back to basics lol

best ice fishing video ever

Great episode Jay and crew 👌🏼

Absolute awesome adventure!!

Many Years ago when I was just a lad (actually it was back in the 50's and 60's in lake Erie there were a strain of Walleye that were called Blue Pike that were fished out completely and none have been caught in Lake Erie in many years. I was just wondering if these are the same strain of fish? We sat along the shore with a light hanging over the water and a single hook with a minnow waiting for these to bite. As you looked down the shore line all you could were campfires with fisherman trying for '' Blue Pike''. Even if they weren't the same species it still brings back a lot of good memories,

Seeing Jay just gives me hope of seeing AP on Meateater.

So jealous, we just lost our ice to a freak temperature swing and rain storm yesterday. Looks like open water until late January again.

Nice !

Ahw sweeeet we actually get to watch jay fish again instead of being a walking advertisement for frostbite and Eskimo

I love how these guys call all snowmobiles "ski-doos". Like down south calling all pop "coke".

East coast hunters fighting for two square feet of land putting stands up on the same tree and this guy has eight cabins XD

Good one, might not be as great as the first video of the season but it’s a good one 👍🏽

Man i was super into jays youtube channel and he kinda stopped posting. At least for quite awhile

Always considered myself the Usain Bolt of ice fishing...

The Pennsylvania fish and boat commission was offering a cash reward for DNA samples of blue colored walleye in hopes of reintroducing the Lake Erie blue pike. It had been fished heavily and with the drop of in mayfly due to pesticides it went extinct before I was born.

Love it guys and gals

What is that blue from? In the boundary waters the last fall on the Canadian border my buddies and I all caught the classic dark gold walleye but the fins were a blue green and we’d never seen that before. Still haven’t seen it again

Yuuuuuuuuup!

*birch stick walleyes*

what minnow bucket is that

im sure if u lay in the snow u will turn blue lmao

People used to maintain trails and work to get their fish that was part of the adventure😊. Now society is all about instant gratification and let someone else do the work😐✌️

Tungsten is not more dense than lead. Tungsten is no.74 on the periodic table. Lead is no. 82.

Just putting this out there for anyone running trail cameras Do not buy or support spypoint! I purchased a new camera from them for over $250 it didnt last 2 months. I emailed them multiple times during the warranty an they refused to replace or help in anyway. After the warranty ended i even sent them screen shots of conversations ive had with different repe an they still refused to help even though the conversations began within 2 months of purchase. They still refuse to help! Do not support this shady business.

Why is this video under a meat eater headline?

Yeah!!! First

Less facetime with your multiple channels and"persona" ...more fishing footage. Great video of fish..far too much of you. Is this your job??
