It was crazy windy out, still managed to land 5 big whities in a few short hours. Hope you enjoy the video. [YOUTUBE]https://youtu.be/WNIQ7kHEcvk[/YOUTUBE]

Looked like a great day fishing. And good tip about the drop after the fish notices your bait. One small suggestion for the fish you plan to release (and care about giving them the best chance to survive after release and after the stress of a fight), try not to use your boot to step on them or to help them onto the ice (esp. since you have ice cleats on your boots). Best chance for them to live is to pull them up to the hole, pull out your hooks and back down they go. Of course, you can do what you want to do but just a suggestion.

It was a great day and I appreciate your suggestion and consider other methods. Thanks 👍

Cool video and nice catching
It's a lake trout....lol I got a kick out of that
Thanks for the support. It was funny watching afterwards, I kept saying it's a laker cause they hit hard and gave me some good head shakes, they felt like the laker I got in my last video. Check it out if you haven't yet.

Great video - I used to use a lipless crank for lakers all the time... I should tie one back on for whities too.
Thanks. The lipless works great cause if a laker passes by you have a chance to get it like my previous video, you should check it out. The lipless doesn't always work so you have to use alternatives. Thanks again.
