The Government Hates this Fish! 

Bots all over the comment section lately so don’t get scammed. Hope you guys have a great week. If you want to support our channel, we have merch for sale and other links in the description that help us out. Thanks for everything 💪🏼

I've said it before, Senior you did a hell of a job raising Junior. Have you ever thought of having a boys camp for the summer. You could teach those boys a lot that they sadly don't get from home. You're a natural and could have another revenue stream. Always enjoy going along with you guys! Have fun! Junior always has the right attitude, it makes all the difference.

“They robbed us blind” 😂

The rice paper imprint was something I've never seen before... That was pretty cool

I love your videos! I appreciate your patriotic comments too Senior! Thank you.

Cool rice paper trophy. My brother in law made mobiles out of his pikes. They were sort of cool but creepy hanging from the ceiling with an open jaw.

Sorry to comment again, I used to be a fish taxidermist did many replicas. The best thing you can do to help the taxidermist is get great close up photos of the various parts of the fish markings. They are all unique and the goal is to paint the fish to look just like yours. Hope that helps.

I love the channel, Sr you are a great roll model for Jr., Jr you are such a grown person for your age, I know you're over 21 but still a fine young man. Old Glory comment by Sr. warms my heart, thank you for your service. Hoorah.

Once again another great family, fishing and history video. Even though it’s cold the lake and surrounding areas look beautiful. Thanks again.

As a sign maker and former billboard painter; I find your ink/rice paper transfers really cool! Great job guys on the fishing and everything!

He had you tap dancing lol 🤣

I grew up fishing for Northerns, cleaning and eating them. A lot of people whine about the Y bones, but if you don't bolt your food like a starving piranha, they are not a problem, IMO. They are good eating pan fried but most people around here pickle them. I've also grilled one split in half.

Nice catch!!! My first pike was a pickerel out of Lake Ontario. Of course, I attempted to lip it but I ended up with holes in my fingers.😂😂😂

I have family in Ely! i love that town! so much history and such a great place to visit! its not related to much of what you guys do, but there is an old steam train ride that takes you out to Ruth and back and they do an old west train robbery on the ride. its good fun!

Amazing view of rain dumping from that cloud in the background at 9:48!

I’m from Minnesota and love catching northern pike. It’s crazy to see how they are so frowned upon in Nevada but makes sense. Sadly Minnesota fishing isn’t what it was 10 years ago and pike especially in well known Minnesota lakes are getting harder to catch.

Cool trophy idea. 🎨🖼 Well done overall🇺🇸🐠👊

Up here in Saskatchewan, Canada I have a lot of success using spoons, specifically a yellow spoon with the 5 of diamonds for catching the northern pike. Always a good fight with the pike.

I liked the charcoal ovens vid. History is very important. Great pike, looks like it was a blast to catch them. Also interesting inking project, never saw that before. Thanks guys!!!

"save this lake, or whatever" they sound real excited about the event haha

That fish ink method is so awesome!!!

If some of the people weren’t into the charcoal ovens, then they aren’t into history. I’ve enjoyed every one of your videos. You care about history of the places you hunt or fish which makes the videos even better. Keep up the great content.

Nice pike !! I catch pike while trolling for walleyes on Saginaw Bay, Michigan. Back in the 1980's I went to northern Ontario with a group of friends pike fishing for 10 days. 6 red and white spoons would end up destroyed, you would catch 100 fish a day casting and trolling. Great times!

Good work. Beautiful country...

Pike are dope fish.

Love what you guys do. Thanks!

Pike wrapped in foil w butter, onions and peppers on the grill are good.

Thank you for telling people about scammers they need to be aware as utube could care less similar to our government

Ah. Northern Pike. Gut them, stuff them with lemon pepper and spices. Wrap them in tin foil and barbeque.

what in the SIn City Outdoors and Crafts! lol thats been one of my fishing bucket list fish trip. You guys are awesome. Delivered.

I lived in New England and you could have had that fish made into a trophy by a taxidermist. I always enjoy your videos. I like how you always explain the history of the locations that you visit. God bless!!

Here in Minnesota, pike are trophy fish, and decent eating. Only place you have to worry about mercury is up around Bemidji, where they mine for iron.

That demo of the fish on rice paper was awesome! Was cooking dinner and that burger was looking delicious. 🙆‍♀️

Senior awesome job raising these boys. I try teaching my younger son the outside and sports. So much to life outside of the house and away from the ipad

your smiles make my days better. may God bless you all.

Fish Art!?! Pretty Cool 😎

You guys have the best videos! With Memorial Day coming up I wanted to say thank you for your service Sr.

I wish senior was my mentor or father. I would be in a better place in life 😢😢😢😢😢😢

The Northern Pike lives in almost any water, eats almost anything, that is why here in Canada we call them Slough Shark.

Those are beastly fish. Must be a fun fish to haul in.

If you caught that big pike in Minnesota you would definitely want to get to the taxidermist. Beautiful fish!

I blew through Ely both ways on a trip from Boise to LV! While in LV, I noticed signs promoting the Nascar race. Since I was there to do repair work for my daughter, I asked her to take me to the Nascar race! Yay! My 2nd race in person! My step-dad was a big fisherperson(?), me, not so much. Great post, guys!

Sr I want to thank you for your service to our country and another cool video have a great day

i’m loving these weekly uploads, keep it up👍🏽

Big baits Big fish! 😂 (Note to self: never forget net while pike fishing!) That’s a shame not being able to eat the fish from there but definitely can enjoy the fight. Congratulations on some very nice pike! Great idea to preserve a trophy pike along with the family experience on rice paper! 🔥🔥🔥

Those were great fish! Wow! 😊 🎣

That racks reminds me of a place in green river called ray's tavern

Charcoal oven I enjoy it good video

Great job yall. I found your channel ever since the Army moved me over here to Southern California at Fort Irwin. I can't wait to travel to some of these locations and do some fishing.

Beautiful Fish Art

Grab them behind the gill plate and your fine done be a baby about picking them up hahahaha😂😂

funny to hear you guys talking about mercury in the water and limits on how many you can eat.... thats every damn lake, pond, river and stream in the northeast

Minnesota is full of Taxademists, look them up and put the fish on ice. Another way to preserve a fish is to incase it in a polyurethane resin, my cousin did that with a lake trout and made a coffee table out of it. Take care, love your videos, and if you ever want to fish in Minnesota, let me know by January because that is when I have to plan my vacations. I can take you to some very fun lakes.

My wife and I like to backpack in the Ruby Mountains always stop in Ely on the way up. It is a cool little town. Turkey Vultures would roost for the night at the cemetery in the trees by the children section if I remember correctly. Kind of creepy but great trout fishing in the streams and lakes in the northern end by Ruby and hidden lakes. A lot of deer and elk. Great video 👍

Nice fish 🎣 Have a great day 🐟☀️

Think that thing would rather have you for dinner. lol He is huge and lots of teeth. I didn't know they made them like that. Happy fishing and have a great day

What a fantastic cross cultural experince! Fun day of fishing and an even better story with the print to display featuring a great predator like the pike. Well done guys!

We call them Snot rockets. Alberta here they can go 40+ lbs and Ive seen them eat baby ducks and geese off the surface. Killing machines. Way to go guys!!

Charcoal Kilns. We used to have a lot of them in Central Missouri. Here we used mostly black oak.

I'm from Michigan. Pike are dangerous to handle. But watching one come up through an ice fishing hole is impressive. Lol

Heavy metals build up in the belly fat. So the bigger the fish, the higher the toxicity. We have a lot of lakes like that in Montana.

I like the fish paintings that is a cool way to save it👊😁🙏🇺🇸😎

There are things to do when Northern fishing, like when the lure gets to the boat, jerk it sideways. If there's a pike following, it'll get him to bite. So, two fishermen in a boat hears a lady screaming from a pier, so they rush over. She says her dog was swallowed whole by a pike near the pier. The two fishermen look at each other, then asks what color the dog was... The only bad thing about pike is you have to filet them differently. Too bad about the mercury levels. They would have been good eating...

Keep on doing what you’re doing guys! Great videography and ideal content!!

Oh man stinky fish and slimy those were so much fun catching them they would take the bait and run with it love it. My husband had fished for 30 yrs in Canada took him long time to catch a big one, I go up there my first year and catch a big one, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 loved this video. Hope senior brother is during well

If you're going to harvest them northerns, next time try a T handle gaffe and some long needle nose pliers to remove the lure. Pike can take your skin off quick if you're not careful.

Up here in Minnesota we love our Pike fishies.

@5:30 Snr... I didn't realise one of the MANY talents you have passed on to your offspring was Irish dancing.😁

there should be 35lbers there. They grow really fast in water that doesn’t freeze over in the winter.

I'm from Michigan in my younger days we caught northern pike on red and white Dare devel spoons

Enjoy your videos! The Japanese ink/rice paper transfer technique is a great simple way to record your ctch! Now you have a framable wall display able piece of art..and I assume at a reasonable cost!

I saw a live northern pike feeding in an aquarium at Fort Peck reservoir a long time back. After that, I had no pity for a pike.

I was fishing with a lure like that once at Lake Meade. I was bored and the big lure put up a little fight all by itself and I was just casting it out as far as I could. After about the 4th or 5th cast when I reeled it in I noticed it was wriggling and I thought that was weird until I saw a little tiny 1.5 inch fish had bit one of the giant hooks. Not snagged, but he actually bit the hook. It was at that moment I knew I was never gonna make it as a fisherman.

We can’t even keep them if they’re less than 24”. I usually grab them from the top just behind their gills and squeeze tight. More than once I’ve found myself bleeding but never felt the cut happen.

8:54 "You might be able to grab him by that lure" LOL yeah ok. Love the paper trophies!!!!!

🤗THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO,GREAT TIMES AND THE FOOD LOOKS DELICIOUS 😋 Thankfully we’re eating right now😁🤗 AND WE ENJOYED THE HISTORY OF THE CHARCOAL OVENS💚💚💚

Trophy fish in Minnesota along with the Walleye. Northern are great pickled ! Love watching y'all fish...

Thats awesome🎬🔥💯👍. Thanks guy's 🇺🇸 🫡

The ink pressing turned out great.

Love the rice paper fish 🐟 Very cool.

I caught a 43" pike in Michigan,they make good pike nuggets,i used chad for bait.

Great Video! Nice size Pike! I am from Minnesota and have fished for Pike many times in my life. Only thing we do different than you two is, we bring a net to get them in the boat. Senior's hands could have been saved.

I've been a fan for a couple of years now, and I always enjoy the content. I really enjoy the Father/Son dynamic. Junior, you're a lucky man being able to do what you love along with your Dad. Senior, you've raised some great boys. Keep the videos coming, Fellas!

Jr. That Pike was treating you like a Red Head Step child! Who dropped the ball and forgot the NET!!?

Jr. I agree. I have been fishing for approx. 75 years and one of my favorite fish to catch is pike. Many years ago I used to guide in Ontario for walleyes and pike. I would make a shore lunch of the fish we caught that morning and most of my clients never knew they were eating northern pike, but they enjoyed the meat even more than the walleye. The only caveat is the pike have to be caught in very very cold water. In warm or muddy water they are not worth eating. LOVE catching them! Troy Ball Lake Havasu

Dude the music is great. Weird the pike has teeth on the gills.

Good show! The fish prints turned out great.

Slough Shark...Snot Rocket...couple Alberta Canada names....nice job.... enjoying your channel

Sin City Outdoors videos never disappoint!! I always enjoy them!

I have fished the Northern Pike in Colorado at Spinney Mountain Resivore. It's up in the South Park area close to Eleven Mile Resivore. These fish act like a log when you hook into a big one. It's as if they bite the lour & go straight to the bottom of the lake & just sit there until you wear them out. It feels like you are hooked onto a log or like you said a large bunch of weeds. It was a very odd experience the first time I hooked into one. The more I have fished them I've gotten used to how they feel & they are rather large fish as well. The trout in the lake are huge as well. They close Spinny Mountain res during the winter & it's also closed at dusk & opens at dawn. This gives the fish some serious time to grow large & the trout must be a minimum of 20 inches to keep & you can only keep 2 of them. But the Pike they want you to keep all of them for the same reason they are invasive to the state of Colorado.

You need to go to Upper Red Lake in Minnesota and fish for giant pike. 20+lbs.

Nothing better than those beer battered

Well Done. I believe they have an extra row of bones when filleting....

That is a very good idea for a pike mount. It's about ALL I'd want from a pike.

Man you guys make me want to go fishing. Love your videos. I fish Lake Mead almost every week. I am retiring soon and will be taking my 15 year old son, Michael out on our 14 foot canoe and do some fishing soon. Thanks guys!

Up here in the northern states, we love northern pike. It's actually a great eating fish if there are no consumption advisories. BTW, you guys are crazy, pike fishin' with no net! LOL

Cool ink print. Being and artist/art teacher and an avid fisherman I probably should try doing that sometime. The toughest thing for me is what to do with the fish afterwards as I really don't care to eat most freshwater fish.

That makes me so sad that the lake and its fish are poisonous. Great job catching the Pike. Always wanted to fish for them.

My home town

You guys should come this summer up to my neck of the woods in Lockport, Canada and go after some good channel cats
