Fish Identification for Ontario, Canada 

Hey Kevin : When I saw how long the video was I almost passed the view. I'm glad I didn't. Really informative & interesting. As I get older I've changed my fishing habits . I only fish in the morning or early afternoon , because I feel I must eat it right away. It must be small enough to eat at one setting. Any fish over a pound I throw back. My first preference is Perch but I will eat Crappies or Rock bass. I just do not want to harm any fish I can't consume in a single meal. Maybe I put too high a value on their life but they are so beautiful I want to avoid harming them. Guess I sound like an old softy. Anyway, thanks for a great video. Brian 79

Best fish ID video I have watched. Thank you so much Kevin. Now let's talk about that fat bass you had wow what a beauty

Awesome video! Your recent videos are awesome! Thank you so much! I thought I was an avid angler and couldn't believe how stupid I am! Ha,ha! I loved it. Your fishing partner had me rolling! Love it!

Awesome video. Extremely helpful. Thanks Kevin! If you can do a wild plants video, and tree video in a similar format, I think the community would really appreciate it.

That was fun :) I got 19 on the test. I thought the last one was a splake by process of elimination. You deceived me with no splake on the test. Now I have no confidence and will amount to nothing in life. I forgot about that Kirkpatrick/Blue Lake loop....added to the list.

Very educational thank you

Hey Kevin, How about a video on your fishing gear? What you take with you on canoe trips. Walleye/bass trips vs. trout? Keep up the content!

This video was really great and I appreciate you making this content. Would you be able to make another video expanding on identifying other fish found in fresh water in ontario and their variants such as whitefish, Cisco, carp, lampry, sauger and more. Thank you

18/20. Got the first two mixed up. These are great videos! It's nice to learn how to more properly identify the different fish species.

this is my favorite fishing video on youtube

Another great video Kevin, thanks. Have you done one on Ontario fishing regulations? If not, that would be very useful too.

those are great looking fish

A terrific ID video. 14/20. My thanks, Martin

Hi Kevin. I enjoyed this video, which covers much of the Ontario angling experience and really helps with those tricky salmon. Maybe in a future video you could highlight some less familiar species, like sauger, pink salmon, longnose gar, even big minnow-like fish like fallfish, chub and mooneye. Also of note, there is a catchable population of Atlantic salmon in the St. Mary's River in the Soo. Rock bass are sunfish and are native to Ontario.

Thank you!!

loved the video, very descriptive. The first picture confused me, the tail of the fish on the left side doesn't look like square so I thought it was Splake. , I got all other 19 correct. :)

finally i know the origin of the word "badonkadonk"

That was a terrific lesson. I want to take up fly fishing too. Thanks Kevin. BTW do you cut the barbs off the tackle. A cousin it a big fly fisher on the west coast and he said it's illegal to fish with barbed hooks. (Q, is it common to find 'black spot' larvae in theses species flesh? e.g. Atlantic salmon that live in the Great Lakes?) 17/20

Another education film brought to you by Kevin Callan!

Not to forgot the holy grail of all trout. The Aurora trout. :)

I thought 20 was a splake

learnt a lot on this ..however we only got 17/20

👍👍👍👍👍

Yippee!!!!

I love these videos Kevin, but pls turn up the volume

thank you for sharing, KCHappyCamper, you have a bot sitting in your commentor list the bot is TEM it posted "awesome content bro" that bot is apart of the Mr Beast family of bots, Tem was named TheComicalCanadian then named "Tyler" and now named "Tem" because it keeps getting reported to youtube and removed from commentor lists.

You left out bowfin

Fish calls?

if you yourself remove "Tem" you can rid it from your videos on a more permanant basis while I can only report it as spam. It will be removed short term but the bot's human controller will only have it come right back to your videos
