Ice Fishing For Giant Rainbow Trout

- There’s nothing like targeting a new lake that you’ve never been to. The excitement for what’s to come, how is this day going to play out?
When you put your knowledge on the line seeing zero response & just grind it out, sometimes the results are big.
I iced some Giant Stocked Rainbow Trout, like I mean Giant! These trout are stocked from year to year usually with a species rotation.
This lake or Saskatchewan pot hole I like to call them was under 60 acres in size. So I’m other words extremely small where you wouldn’t expect Giant fish to be.
But friends here in Saskatchewan we have a great stocking program & Giant Trout are built in these back waterways.
Here is my epic day as I crushed my PB Stocked Rainbow Trout @ 8.15lb one ounce shy of 9lb and then four hrs later beat that same PB out of the same ice fishing hole with an 11lb 27inch Giant!
Outside Temperature 0 to -2 Celsius
Absolutely Epic.
Enjoy the footage

Wow those are monsters! Great job and great catch. Tight line! 🎣
Yes they are!
Cheers
That is the biggest lake trout I've ever seen
Epic day, thanks for bringing us along! Hopefully this video gets 1M views like it deserves. We'll done with the slab bows.
Thanks, it was an unexpected & unbelievable day.
To capture it on film & remember those fish will last me a lifetime.
Cheers
Just found your channel congrats just watching you now great video and rainbow. The flood water gets bad on those lakes
I don’t normally weigh stocked trout but when it’s a personal best I woulda weighed it too!! Keep it up on the videos 👍
Nice fish bud, though I think they were over manhandled to be released, but maybe they weren't as shocked/stunned as they appeared in your video. Other than that I really enjoyed the adventure.
Thanks. Trust me, if I go back there I’ll be better prepared for the monsters.
What da ffff !!!! That thing is Huge !!!!
That’s awesome man! had my shack set up just off that island pretty well right where that crack is not long ago too an it wasn’t leaking like that haha, keep em coming though!
Nice. Yea I walked over it prior that day and never saw it. Once that heavy snow landed I noticed it instantly.
They still swim so hopefully they get even bigger, crazy thou.
Thanks
wow...i've never seen stocked bows that big...my PB is 21.5c, but no where near that fat. Awesome catch!
They were slobs. I didn’t even think they’d fit up the ice hole, very hard to land on 4-5 in of ice. Biggest I’ve see in person was the first one… then the second beat it again, I was not expecting or prepared for it at all.
Stocked trout don't take well to being weighed like that... If you want to make videos I would encourage you to maybe handle these fish a little better...
I know that Clayton & I’m not taking offence to the comment. Scale rarely gets used. Measured first & were PB’s by length so I wanted to know their weights. Weighed as carefully as I could & released for someone else to catch.
If they were caught by the three other groups out there that day the Trouts fate may have been different & ended up in a smoke house.
I have a feeling I won’t have to weigh a stocked Rainbow for a long, long time.
Good luck on the ice this winter.
At least they would have been put to use, rather than floating belly up after you had your photo shoot.
Man why can't you just accept some actually constructive criticism and TAKE THE L DUDE. You sound like a child with no accountability responding with multiple paragraphs to every comment about how you CLEARLY mishandled the fish. Your video was dope otherwise and the fish was sick but you ruined it by being a lil baby.
Clayton I wonder how many of the thousands of fish you catch each year die after release?
He handled thefish with respect but I would of let it go a little quicker
FYI fish can’t breath out of water
I know, next time instead of releasing them potentially for someone else I’m going to eat them.
@@surgeoutdoorsanglingYou're better off eating them for sure, especially at that size! Friends and I are watching and thought you were going to keep it since you had it out for so long... And then you decided to give us a second look! We were all like "may that cranker rest in peace!" 🤣
Lives forever in my archive of memories & adventures.
Was either going into a smoker or living on camera then back to the lake. I chose the lake.
Thats a football of a fish nice job bro✌
They were big for sure, huge belly’s on them. Definitely a challenge to land by myself on that thin ice.
Those were tanks, good job! What state is this? Those look like Triploid Trout
Yup Triploid Stocked rainbows. Central / Northern Saskatchewan Canada is where lots of these videos are filmed. We have a really good stocking program & they plant all kinds of non reproductive trout in little water bodies. Waterbodies can’t be connected to any other water way so they can’t get access to natural lakes & rivers. I call the lakes pot holes, quite a few with Rainbow Trout, Brooke Trout, Splake, Brown Trout, Tiger Trout. Every lake is stocked different & can have a variety of species depending on how they do when relating to one another.
Those two rainbows were Pb after PB and that was the first time I’ve ever been to that lake. I was shocked, stunned & pretty excited. Very cool experience.
@@surgeoutdoorsangling wow way cool! That was an exciting day I’m sure. I wouldn’t have known those even existed but my nephew caught one a few years back by my dad’s house in the Columbia River in Washington. I sent the pic to my dad and he told me about them. I guess they were in a pen on the River for some study and the net got a hole in it and they all escaped into the river.
So that same scenario is what happens on Lake Diefenbaker Saskatchewan. There’s a hydro dam at the north end of the lake so rainbows can’t go farther down river..
On Diefenbaker lake Saskatchewan there’s a few fish farms in the lake with nets. Their triploids are raised because they grow fast and are marketed as steel head and sold in grocery stores.
But some escape and you can fish and target them in that lake. World record rainbow trout is from there caught by the fishing geeks. 48 lb rainbow trout, the replica for it is in the “fishing hole”fishing store in saskatoon Saskatchewan.
A better way to weigh big fish is in a water bag so you dont hang the fish by the head.
Man trust me I know.
Let’s lay it down, ya pick out a random lake off a map… throw your stuff in a truck… punch some holes and mess around / film… know one in their right mind would of thought or been prepared for two monsters like that, I don’t care who you are. I sure as hell wasn’t, throw in excited as hell to even do that then add caught on film for a life time… we’re not talking about a picture here. Pictures are easy. Try film, cold, dead battery’s, camera gear, angles to show & not show, fog or water on the lens, connection issues, man… If people only knew the 1/2 of it. A picture… I always say if it ain’t on film it don’t count. I’ve lost lots of fish that would have made a picture. Try timing and getting that moment on film.
If someone wants to try & replicate two hogs like that on the same day outta the same hole then have at it & best of luck. It’s very hard if not impossible to replicate someone’s angling experience.
I don’t even weigh fish unless there’s a holy shit reaction for curiosity. Only reason there’s scale with ice fishing is because one time I didn’t have one and wish I did.
Those fish live forever on film.
Cheers
Thanks for not naming the lake. These lakes are far too small. Good job.
Thanks
Good luck on the ice this winter 🎣
Since you seem familiar with the lake, are those Triploid Trout? That’s what they look like to me. Also if it’s not giving too much away, what state is this?
Is this Nesland Lake ?
Bad idea to go stand on that crack where overflow is coming out that ice will be garbage in a day.
Nice vid .screw the hecklers
Thanks. Tight Lines.
It’s a great memory, I made a choice. Was as careful as I could be. Other people with their catch can make their own choices & decisions. I’m not here to judge.
Should have kept it ,they taste like very fresh salmon .
Probably should of, fry up half & still had a good slab to put in the smoker.
Clayton is just hating cause he's jealous
“haters goona hate & ain’ters goona ain’t” Am I right? lol
Dude stop fingering their gills.. they don’t enjoy it and they 100% didn’t survive. Also idk if you know this but they can’t breathe out of water.
Fingers are not in the gills, one inch of my fore finger is holding the jaw skin & not touching any gill plate. Want to know how I know that? I was there. No one can say any fish lives or dies after release because they aren’t tracked via gps. Mother Nature is stronger than you think.
I would suggest changing your camera angles to not to give away the location of your fishing spots. Won't be many fish left in that lake, specially after seeing how the fish are handled.
The fish will be fine, the fishing will be fine. No one was sitting there with me to see in person just speculation across a screen.
People that know lakes know where every video is filmed, anglers fish this lake & that lake in which it’s the government’s job to watch & regulate.
I’ve seen lakes with one subdivision then another & another, fishing is still there with pressure. I don’t care about the size of lake, some anglers fish for perch others for walleye, some lake trout … then there’s stocked trout. Everything is rationed around the community of anglers.
At the end of the day regardless of lake, spot, bait, color, technique it’s impossible to recreate a day of success that someone else may or may not have. Then if someone does it’s a positive for the whole community from the angling license purchased, bait & gear sale, gas, maybe even a restaurant / hotel. Take all the provincial tax dollars generated & you have a tourism/recreation created economy. They can reinvest in stocking & regulation… there we have the circle of finance and a positive for the province.
Be nice, be humble because the next person that goes there might have a great experience & a memory for a lifetime. Don’t try and scare people away from the sport that you enjoy yourself.
Good luck on the ice this winter.
I am trying to find this lake can you tell me if its Nesland Lake .
Nice fish & seems you mean well but it's a studied fact that fish to be released should be kept out of water a VERY short time , like hold for quick photo & back in water ( 20-30 seconds ). This beautiful specimen odds of surviving the prolonged time of getting tape, scale, weighing, pics etc is slim to none , & thats a shame. Not to mention it should never be left on ice like that , so hard on their organs flopping around on super hard ground when they are designed to be buoyant with little pressure. Pls in future think about better handling, as catch & release is only sporting if they survive!
Don’t worry, everything in that lake is dying this year. Gov is winter killing it.
So how’s that future looking?
They are Saskatchewan secluded trout lakes, meaning they get restocked every year. Essentially renewable meat fish.
Man oh man, extremely poor fish handling. I remember when I caught my first trout and to be honest it was a lot lesss harmful then that. And since you watch all these CZcams video of all your hero’s, what you should be able to take out of them is that the way you just handled those fish was very improper.
My hero’s? Like regular people that land big fish on first ice the same way.
Thin ice, no ice hole shoot to guide fish, fish as big as ice hole so can’t use hand to slide down and push up, 6 lb test will break on a heavy pull, 0 to -2 nice outside temp, measured and weighed PB’s as careful as I could because I rarely weight or measure fish so I don’t carry a net for a sling & zero blood.
Unfortunately I disagree, but a person always has to try & do their best with the situation regardless or the species.
It's so funny how everyone has shit to say. He handled good for being an excited fisherman who also is filming alone. Worry about your own handling of fish.
Your fish handling abilities are terrible lol, way to kill a beauty fish. If you want to put this on you tube you would think you would work on not looking like an amateur with those rookie handling techniques. Unfortunately that fish is dead. Never weigh a fish like that. You should know that. Don't gill trout like that. I use a basic trick for keeping trout out of the water. When the fish comes out the hole take a breath and hold it, when you're ready for a breath the fish is too and you didn't just run a marathon. 10-15 seconds out should be a max.
Unfortunately unless you are Mother Nature which I’m not aware that you are.. or are you? Hello 👋 Mother Nature
Then you cannot say wether or not any fish from any species survives or parish’s due to certain factors. Because you don’t know.
Watching across a screen does not put you there at those exact moments seeing everything.
What determines if a fish survives or parish’s are factors, and the percentage of those factors may increase or decrease survival chances. In the winter time they would be weather temperature, how long out of water, bleeding, gill damage, fight duration and maybe others. Positives or negatives on any will reduce or increase survival. So everyone does their best and at the end of the day the angler who caught the fish makes decisions for themselves and then it’s up to Mother Nature. Just like it is in any other circumstance.
Good luck on the ice this winter
Mother nature deserves better than that you goober lol. You must have gone to the geek school of handling. I bet killing quality trout to you is worth it because you got your pic. Just push it down the hole and its released right lol. They don't make 30in + and reach trophy status with that type of handling. Thumbs up sunshine. When you get that many people laughing at the handling you think you would take a hint. Also way to disclose location but yup you did your best lol. You tuber goobers. All round fail sir from the vid to the defensive reply 👍For perspective this is my second post in about 10 years but I just had to when alerted to this nonsense
@@ashfraser8546 Your comical, Does it make you feel heard because of lack of attention? Because your opinion doesn’t both me, I just smile.
If you knew how CZcams analytics work you wouldn’t say a thing, but keep firing away. I’ll be glad to keep answering.
All because I caught some fish & made a video.
Take the hint bud, learn how to handle fish. I have fished the lake for years and the pressure has gone through the roof. It's special because of the quality given the access. You should care more about the fate of the fish and also not broadcast the location as its very clear where you are. Be better sir not arrogant and ignorant
@@ashfraser8546 unfortunately I’m the last thing from arrogant or ignorant
