*Prompt delivery with great packaging **enjoyable.fishing** recommend it’s the hat is just as described with the fit being perfect. Really going to enjoy using my hat.*
I have always thought ice fishing was ridiculous until this series, now I can't wait to get up North and give it a try. Thanks for bringing us this series in such a light hearted way that explores the community as much as the process. Great people, great fishing, great fun.
Janis is to humor and camaraderie what Rinella is to philosophy and wisdom. These guys can do no wrong. Being a native Wisconsinite, this particular episode was even more fun to watch.
Its funny I have heard pike is a trash fish from so many people, I have been eating pike since i was a young kid and its one of the best tasting fish i have came across. Blackened Pike is my go to recipe. I have fed it to many people and they all have loved it. Other then a few bones here and there i cant find a bad thing to say about them.
I have found that in the wild game world there are so many nay sayers that say everything tastes bad other than venison backstrap and walleye. You can make almost anything taste good if you do it right
People say the same here in wa about white fish if you can believe it. Everyone wants Salmon and write off anything else. I'm a salmon fisherman and would take walleye or white fish over salmon any day. We ate pike growing up and it's delicious
I’ve never understood it. They’re phenomenal. Maybe it’s because they’re super slimy or because of the y-bones that people assume they’re not worth it, but when you know how to handle the bones, it’s not a big deal. More for us, I guess.
JJ is an amazing guide... if you’re looking to ice fish in Sturgeon Bay, JJ’s Guide Service is top notch. All around great guy and holds his team to true professionalism.
What a great resource recovery story! Just goes to show that here in America when we set our sights on doing something worthwhile, we pull together and make it happen.
Who's Pat? Where's Dave? I absolutely love that Meateater is putting out their own content... This is the future... Create it, own it, show it. No middlemen, no studio execs. Keep it up, love everything you're doing.
Growing up Whitefish were always on the menu..year round, but especially during the spawn in the river......to break the slime and make them easy'er to handle...gut then soak in a salt bath...works on most fish I have tried.
5"? A couple years ago, we had dang near 5 FEET of ice on some of the inland lakes. Many lakes in Northern WI have average days of ice cover in the 150+ days category.
I have ridden bicycles twice in Door county Wisconsin and had a fish boil of white fish. Amazing! Who would think boiled fish would be good but it is a regional surprise.
I shed a tear when I saw that Spotted Cow 😥 I only get them maybe once or twice a year when I get family to bring me some when they come visit down here in Tampa.
I have to go to my mother-in-law's for Christmas, and I've serendipitously gotten into Meat Eater recently. I know what I will be watching for most of the trip.
From st Joseph Michigan to sturgeon bay WI my second home. Worked at bay ship build co. Super sections and in the million dollar hole. Last vesicles worked on where for sea Land Co. The Kodiak, Tacoma, Anchorage. President Regan visited the shipyard just before I hired on.
I'd LOVE to have one of those fillet machines, though here in Michigan, skinning is almost a requirement due to the pollutants. =( Been many years since there's been any number of whitefish though... our DNR sold us out to the commercial fishermen. Key to filleting whitefish by hand is to cut from the inside of the fish out so you don't have to cut through the scales.
You guys need to do ft peck lake trout in March! That’s some of the most fun fishing I’ve ever had in my life. Run and gun on sleds and fish that chase and look like sharks under the ice!
The eagle tried to slip in a sneaky little advertisement for meateater whiskey there... a true wisconsinite knows you gotta have a old fashion with korbel brandy
Good video, and yeah that guide was obviously giving a tutorial on tip ups for the viewers not Jani. All the high points, old fashioned, supper club, and what comes with that fish on the side. But man did they haul a good amount.

I agree Derek. As good as any perch or walleye.

"Homemade airboat" that right there is the epitome of Green Bay.
'A couple, two, tree inches..." lmao... reminds me of Charlie Berens
Keep’er movin...
@@RenegadeBeef tell yer folks I says hi
yaass
I’m from Pennsylvania and I say that aLl the time lol

Fur hat ice tour is the best thing on CZcams right now. I don’t even ice fish... but making me really want to get out there this winter
I guess Dan Lindal, Commercial Fisherman is just out of luck.
I was really hoping someone would comment this
Who's Pat? Where's Dave?

This whole episode is aggressively Wisconsin

Those are some serious winters. Can't even imagine what 5" ice looks like.
It gets over 36” thick in Wisconsin on most lakes. You need an extension for the ice auger
5"? A couple years ago, we had dang near 5 FEET of ice on some of the inland lakes. Many lakes in Northern WI have average days of ice cover in the 150+ days category.
This Hoosier is thinking about moving to Wisconsin. Man that looks fun!
You have no idea! This is my back yard!!!
@@Jj-di7su Same here. I'm not so patiently waiting for good ice on the bay.
The ice cracks at 7:50 and everyone shits a little. Look at their faces! Lol
Wrong name in the intro under pat durkin
I have ridden bicycles twice in Door county Wisconsin and had a fish boil of white fish. Amazing! Who would think boiled fish would be good but it is a regional surprise.
@1:06 - is it just me, or is the wrong name up on the screen?
Yeah. Im totally confused
What are you confused about?
@@ottoschultz9768 The lower third in the intro has Dan Lindals name not Pat Durkin!
We found a glitch in The Matrix!
@@deerlydepartedtaxidermy I understand.
Great video guys! That filet machine was incredible.
Here before the guy sending virtual hugs
You mean virtual head right? Lol
I shed a tear when I saw that Spotted Cow 😥 I only get them maybe once or twice a year when I get family to bring me some when they come visit down here in Tampa.
For the next ice hat your you guys have to come to Canada and visit Jay Siemens! He is an ice fishing guru!
I 100% agree with this superb idea
is the border open yet?
Yes!
Jani is probably thinking "It's a tip up dude. I get it."
Pat Durkin gets the shaft on the intro. There's record amount of awkwardness to this episode.
I love how awkward this episode is haha
I have to go to my mother-in-law's for Christmas, and I've serendipitously gotten into Meat Eater recently. I know what I will be watching for most of the trip.
Whoever is choosing the music for this series deserves a reward.
What I learned by watching those videos:
Frying is the perfect preparation for every fish... :D
2 thumbs up for the "Filet-o-matic"!
21:08 Knife goes in, guts come out.
From st Joseph Michigan to sturgeon bay WI my second home. Worked at bay ship build co. Super sections and in the million dollar hole. Last vesicles worked on where for sea Land Co. The Kodiak, Tacoma, Anchorage. President Regan visited the shipyard just before I hired on.
I know these are a lot of work to produce and I'm very grateful for it. Although, they could be longer 🙂
Fascinating. Seriously. Wife is from Appleton and this makes her homesick like crazy.
green bay is feeling like buffalo, I love it ! Fish on! Fishfry on!
I can’t believe all the comments are about the wrong name being prompted and nothing about that amazing filet machine. I really want one of those!
damn the music in this episode was straight FIRE
Dang. I got Dan Lindal, and I thought I was getting Pat Durkin...
Durkin’s the man.
so awesome to actually see and hear their face - love it
Janis did you put two brats on one bun you absolute mad lad!
I'd LOVE to have one of those fillet machines, though here in Michigan, skinning is almost a requirement due to the pollutants. =( Been many years since there's been any number of whitefish though... our DNR sold us out to the commercial fishermen.

We got lil less then 4 feet of snow....in upstate ny
its funny that you guys are almost on the same latitude as us in the pacific northwest and we get a fraction of the cold and snow as you
Double brat in a bun?! 17:01 Now that’s game changing!
Top notch construction, good fit. Seems like a decent hat
In case anyone is wondering, the heated tip up they showed was a Bite Me Box Tip Up. They can be found at www.boxtipups.com
Hi i am Pat Durkin but feel free to call me Dan Lindal..... Let me show ya around
Great show....Go Packers!
Hey I know that guy! Good work JJ.
diggin' the jams!
Dude that is sketchy; I would be freaked out seeing moving water a 50 yards away while I am ice fishing
Major props on the soundtrack to all these great videos! Definitely helps set the tone! (Pun intended ha!)
You guys need to do ft peck lake trout in March! That’s some of the most fun fishing I’ve ever had in my life. Run and gun on sleds and fish that chase and look like sharks under the ice!
Right in the backyard! Love it!

That is genius using a airboat on the ice.
Most fire departments that do ice rescues have em
Great episode, and that filet machine is pretty slick!
SWEET 🙌
Merry Christmas Fellas 🎄
Now THAT's a nice shanty.
White fish is delish!!!
I’m gonna try this in UT
great episode
Friday night fish fry, for an invite I'll bring the venison! SERIOUSLY!! NOT JOKING!!!
Just plain awesome!
You all need to come fish in Buffalo, NY! Or western New York! We have some good fishing!
Good video, and yeah that guide was obviously giving a tutorial on tip ups for the viewers not Jani. All the high points, old fashioned, supper club, and what comes with that fish on the side. But man did they haul a good amount.
Rubella could probably make one of those machines out of antlers, horns and beaver tails.
I'm a little disappointed we didn't get to see Jani do a Lambeau Leap....
Thank you for sharing brother
Dan Lindahl!?! How dare you!?!
Phew. Was getting a little worried he wasn't using at least one Beaver Dam.
Glad you drank Wisconsibly.
Whiskey and whitefish! new band name
Janis getting PAYED for getting hammered. Good move Steve
damn, I live in Green Bay!
Me to.
Shit, I like the sound of a Wisconsin fish fry menu!
You like Joey and meateater too?
@@weezypeezy1725 theyre TREMENDOUS!
Ahhh home...
Couple 2 tree. Brat on the ice. Wisconsin at it's finest. They seem to have forgotten the beer though
Editors fault. Dan Lindall comes in later in the show lmao
I use why knot for whitefish
Cheers from De Pere
How have I never heard of the Meateater Bourbon?
Get Yanny and Ronny together in a ice shack with 4 cases of beer and a pile of cigars.
Used to live in Florida so air boats are nothing new I’m just new to Sturgeon Bay winters.
Shout out to Jeff at Smokey's! Sorry lol I see the hat.
I really like your XD gear! Sharp!
Forgot the part about cheese curds and obesity in WI
Liked the video. Go Packers!
Thats Pat the name they have under him is Dan lol how many eyes did that go by?
GO PACKERS!!!
Why is the charcoal included in the tip up box? What does it do?
Not adding fried cheese curds to the Wisconsin Fish Fry disappointed me. Love Wisconsin traditions
How drunk is the editor on this one?
Orange facts
"sloww you could just sit in the bar and wait for your phone to go off?" -Janis
I'm so confused...is Pat the guy on the statue?
YO!!! what is that music 40 seconds in? it sounds really fucking good lol
Yani seems like an awkward middle child to me lol the Latvian Eagle is better suited to hunting than conversation
You put Dan Lindals name under pat during introduction
Janis just absolutely ripping a double brat
How far off the bottom was the northern?
