  • It's our first time spear fishing for Northern Pike, and like many things in life, it takes multiple attempts to succeed. Even after several years of targeting pike, they are still a favorite of ours to catch and eat. We celebrate with fresh chowder in a sourdough bowl back at the cabin.
    We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀
    Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! 💙

    I just have to say this again. I wish my old dad was alive to watch your videos. His favorite fish was pike. I think because they were tricky to catch, he needed to get into a mind game with them and in the end, they cooked up delicious. He would have LOVED your channel. As do I. Thanks always for amazing content. And for always reminding me of my dad. ❤️

      When you said your dad needed to get in a mind game with the pikes, I pictured Bryan Cranston sneaking around a lake in the dark, quietly whispering "Heeeeeere, fishy, fishy.... where aaaaaaarrrre you, Mister Fish?" while dressed as Rambo. And then dropping some dynamite in the hole in the ice and running away, as a giant pike is blasted into the air and the ice cracks.

    I grew up in Wayzata, Minnesota.
    My very first fish was a big mouth bass, but right after that, I caught a 27" Northern Pike. I couldn't believe my luck as I was only 6 years old.
    We only lived 3 miles from Lake Minnetonka, which was perfect for ice fishing. My Dad couldn't believe it either because my line was only set up for crappie and bluegills. BTW, your spear isn't a TRIDENT. Three prongs make a Trident, but your spear is much better for bringing in almost anything in the water. Whatever you paid for it was probably worth the money. I'm 63 now and no longer live up north. I have to admit that I miss Minnesota and Michigan very much. I've never been to Alaska, but it looks like a beautiful place to live. The two of you remind me so much of my young days growing up in Minnesota.
    Please keep doing everything just the way you are. The memories you're making are the greatest treasure you could ever hope to have. God bless you both.

    Northern Pike typically spawn in April, May or June depending on where you are & when you get "Spring", or... the timing of ice melt & water temp changes. For us in Red Lake, Ontario, its typically around May/June where you can find giant pike in the shallows, smaller creeks or even water run-off areas snow melt.
    They will begin to produce eggs early winter but will not be fully mature, ready to be laid in a creek/river/shallows until the Spring!
