Kids Fishing Expedition

Hi guys, today we're going to do some pike fishing. And we're going to try to catch a pike as big as that fish. We're going to get some minnows today, right now. So we're just going to go to the sunken ship. And if I net, I'm going to put it under and pull it up on minnows right there. I'm getting minnows because the minnows are good for fish. Almost all fish like minnows because they're just a really small fish. There, there we go. Did we get enough minnows? Yes. Like 20, 30. 20 or 30? Perfect. All we need is one. We went fishing and... It's shallow. Oh yeah. We're putting the bobber out and we're doing some like fishing. And it's going good. So, yeah. And then we're going to have one person casting at the front of the boat. Fish on? Or is it just catching the weeds? The weeds, maybe. The weeds. I think it's weeds. No, there's no... Oh, there's no weeds. There's weeds on it. A little bit. I got it. I got something. No, you don't. You got a weed. Oh, come on. What? I think it's a weed. Weed or fish? Weed. First we used minnows and then second I used my best, best lure that I had and it was... The blue lure is really good so, yeah. How long are we going to do this for? Five hours. For like longnose or shortnose pike. That's what we're trying to catch. And then we didn't get any bites so we're trying to go to a trick spot. Sean. Stop, stop, Leo. You've got... You got two fish on? Two? No, just one fish. Who's got a fish on? I got a fish. Oh. Yeah. Okay, Leo. Okay. I need this. No, no. You gotta take the rod. No, no. Get the pole. Oh, that rod. Leo, take that rod. Leo, take that rod and hold it out of the way. He's gotta reel. Okay?

You gotta grab the top of the rod. Grab the top of the rod. Crank it this way. More, more, more, more. More, more. You had a fish on. We brought it to the boat. The hook got stuck in the net. We couldn't net it. And we lost it. And were you happy or sad about that? Sad. But did we give up? Nope. What did we do? We went back to the same spot and we fished there and then we caught a bigger one. Did you see that? Did you see? You got a fish on. You got a fish on, Neil. Get it out. Stop holding your phone.

Lake trout? What do you think it is? Lake trout. Lake trout, pike. Let's reel it in, Neil. Keep it... Once it gets close, put the tip of the rod towards the net and I'll scoop, okay? I'll scoop. Okay, it's getting close. I can see it. Bring it over here. Stop reeling. Bring it over here. Bring the tip over. Not out of the water. Hold. No, no, no. He's not ready. Just hold the line. Don't reel. Hold. Don't lift him out of the water. He's not ready yet. He's not ready. This is a big boy, Neil. He's not ready. He's going under the boat. That's fine. Just hold that line. Don't reel. You're done reeling. He's heavy. I know, Neil. I wish it was not this time. It's a big boy, Neil. Okay, okay. Hold that line. Just let him go. No, no, no. No more reeling. You've got to tire him out, Neil. You've got to tire him out. Okay, okay. Start to reel a little bit. Keep that line tight, but do not lift him out of the water. I'll scoop him. Here, I see him. Yeah, baby! Yeah! We've got him. Release the bail, Leo. We've got a lake trout. Holy moly. Was that a tough fight, Leo? Oh, yeah. He just threw out a minnow. Wow. Beauty. Okay, Leo, grab him under the tail and under the gills. No, no, no. This hand. This hand? This hand and grab under his tail. Under the belly, under the gills. Hold him. Good job, Leo. Release the lake trout. Put him in the water. Let him go. Back home. I just kissed him. Was that a slimy kiss? Yeah. So, we didn't give up. We persevered. And, you know, that happens with fishing. Sometimes you lose them. Sometimes you catch them. We lost them and we caught them. And it was a fun night, right? It was really fun. Daddy. The minnow broke. Don't get too distracted. Bye, guys. Are you going to fish him? Good job. I'm going to reel it in. Yeah, minnows sometimes work. Lures sometimes work. You know, you got to mix it up. Any tips that you want to give to people about fishing? Tips? Yep. You want to have a longer net, like, and a sturdier one. Because, like, when we had it, when we had it on, it went through. So, you should have, like, a stronger net. So, the lake trout doesn't, like, go through it. Do you have any tips about how to reel in a big fish? The rods, the lines coming out more do not reel in that time. That's how a fish gets off. And, yeah.
