found a sweet spot oh looking like 19 feet looks like a good spot to start the ice is full of people it's a beautiful morning in maine and we got the survival card and we're going to see if we can catch some stuff on the survival cards as well some regular ice fishing and what we got for fish our fish options are salmon bass the usual culprits brookies maybe browns and fish maybe maybe uh who knows [Applause] give it our best let's see how these cards were catch some fish pop a hole see if it's as juicy as it looks looks like a kit like a biologist would carry yeah like someday i'll need like a snow cat to carry all the stuff [Applause] [Music] all right big cat let's go like we can't go out on the ice anymore one but one day a year because it's never thick enough [Applause] [Music] always exciting at that first arrival and drilling that first hole putting your fish finder down there will we see something will we not oh i don't know see ya there's at least three fish down there [Music] it says 30 feet i don't see it pushing up anywhere over here let's see go move out further yeah what do you have it oh that's 30 feet let's see if we can't get 60 feet out what's that blue line that's just a little bit of uh that radar arc oh see it looks like it's pushing up back that way let's go back over there and see if we can find this high spot [Music] there we go here's a nice little hump i think i see some bait fish something rock or something that's a fish right there all right let's get on [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] get my frost bite mr big with the yelled dinner bell on it literally wasn't that i don't know what that sounds like to a fish underwater but almost time for a cup of coffee see it yep so hard if you went down like got your lure stuck on the stick and like it nipped onto the edge of a rock or uh like a snowmobile down there now how cool would that be if you like old bicycles no you just you drop in and you like you see it on your fish finder and you're like that looks like a snowmobile there's the ski there's the you know you just got this perfect profile the back of the snowmobile like oh you had something yeah they just got to be little perch or something i don't know [Music] the race is on for first fish first fish who's gonna get it i could i wonder if it's smell i got the tiniest of jig head so like i can catch anything on these like i've always felt like sabiki size hook yeah oh lord won't you give me a fish for dinner oh wait our friends all have something [Music] sing to him [Music] fish own yup fish on of course first fish smelts awesome smell okay that's cool that's what he knew what he had to do he had to switch to a different bait well there we go we know what's in there now a little smell [Music] i'm gonna let this pet smelt go if i had caught six more i would have done a little fry at home and cook some up but so originally i started out making this video just about the grim card i said i'd do something with it but after catching the smelt i have a hankering for smell so i'll do a full video and catch and cook with the 2.0 fowler survival card in another video until then here's a little tease since a lot of you've been asking how to set the trap triggers on the card tie one of your toggles to the lower part of your spring stick and the other toggle is tied to the top of your spring stick with a little bit shorter line so that when you click the two together it loads that spring stick up then you run your line from that top toggle down to your hook and the fish will come along bite it and when they sprang apart because he's tugging on it it sets the hook in his mouth and you've got your fish and let him go back to his buddies or her stick with us we're just getting started we're gonna head down the road to where we can really catch a bunch of smelt and do this catch and cook thing [Music] yeah oh my lord watch me sway darkness falls and we all pray hoping for the light of day down to the river i have held the devil's hand felt the weight of my own all right we are looking for some rainbow smelt after catching some in the shack or one in the shack the other day i just had this handkerchief my grandmother's smelt the way she cooked them how delicious and i haven't actually done the smell thing we almost did it this fall and that didn't quite work out so we're up here at baker's uh baker brothers smelt shacks you rent the shacks we're going rent to shack we're going to spend the next six hours catching a bunch of smelt gonna cook a really special cook back at home uh this is the kennebec river beautiful place in maine john even too far from me and i can't believe i haven't gotten on this the whole time i've been here ice fishing on a river ice fishing on a river yeah let's do it like a little mermaid gadgets and gizmos aplenty i've got who's it's and what's its galore oh we're going ice fishing and zach feels like a little mermaid all over again we're going to catch the little mermaid we'll get here [Music] [Applause] [Music] i can't get up it almost made it all the way across turns out there's a reason that this bridge exists i like it this is nice there's even lights in here there we go there's our first lines already in on that side turn all the way around there's my lines so the shacks come all completely set up you can just use the house lines you don't have to bring anything with you they provide you with some blood worms cut little quarter inch pieces put them on the hooks provided with the house lines and lower them down to your preferred depth until you start getting bites or you can bring your own rods and see if you can't jig some up at the same time where's your where's your custom-made sabiki it's it's in there you're just not going to use it i think i'll run this first i got another rod that i'll put that on so we made our own sabiki rigs [Music] you mind if i uh use this bag oh yeah i think that'll do [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] chris is ashamed of his but i'm proud of mine i want to see what it does it was like a three-year-old doing arts and [Music] crafts [Music] [Music] guys spinning all around here [Music] [Music] wow [Music] this is the story of jeff his head was flattened by an iron when he was seven years old that's why the top of his head is flat this is more interesting than a bathroom [Music] stall [Music] fish on there we go first one i'm my homemade sabiki i get uh i got you chris [Music] oh that tastes good memories from when grandma used to make there's a nice one [Applause] that one [Music] [Music] huh [Music] there we go that glow jig but what's the pain oh yeah hey there we go yep there we go we're tied as you can see he's iridescent in color hey take a take [Music] oh how to put a piece of wood in without any playing okay guys this is really hard [Music] oh he still didn't clang it oh that is cool here we go [Music] yeah now i'm definitely eat ahead that's a monster that's the biggest one of the night holy cow that's got to be a state record right there look at it well it's that time chris 11 30. we're done there we go let's go cook some fish [Music] so [Music] so [Music] yes [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] yeah that worked just what i want to take tooth chipper that was sweet hard to breathe [Music] [Applause] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] all right filming here all right ready lord thank you for this food thank you for the smelt and the opportunity to have fun and cook and spend time in your beautiful outdoors bless this food to our body and just name amen all right we got quite the little smorgasbord here you know we did uh we did fried in uh near beer or non-alcoholic beer uh disgusting tasting then we got our one that is stir-fried up with some kimchi spice and some vegetables and the wines on the smoker we turned it up on high so after we try some of this we should be able to eat some of those so what do we want to start with i want to start with fried stuff you want to start with the fried stuff i don't know i'm going to start with the fried stuff i'm going right for the head and this going right i fried one with the head right on did i give you one with the head on i did oh you did one each for fried with a head-on oh no mmm cooked all the way through mm-hmm a little bony when you go for the head that's okay i'm out with the turtle sauce i love that tartar sauce man i like this really salted up i didn't really put a lot of salt i just put the aces so it has a little bit of flavor some of this one of the nice things about the smelt is uh you can eat them with all the bones but at the same time when you just did it like that they all just came and fell right yeah they just came out oh that's a ticket that is so good here we go that is so good pretty good for a bait fish yeah i mean technically i mean they're baiting fish but like no other bait fish tastes tasty like this i don't know do we have to try eating a shiner to see well you need a shiner once remember i wrapped it in bacon oh yeah and you were like i can't even i don't even know if it was there oh wait no and then you're like oh yeah i can see it's a little filet it's good though man i like the stir fry right oh wait we're supposed to save something for somebody else try a little piece of that white fish just grab it with your fingers yeah grab that little piece of there or something like that it's easy to oh nice you dip the first time trying smelt i think so now everybody will be happy that i'm fed there you know yes while filming one gram of smelt i tell you i wouldn't mind having a house right on that river and then having your little shack right out there and just i thought i was looking all up and down in the river on maps trying to find different places to launch i found a boat launch well that smelt shack though that was so set up you know i'm like drilling some holes and you know if you're to drill some holes and try to jig a single hole where you got the house lines wow you just drill five six holes in exception takes five minutes or less oh wait we drilled two holes or two the saw and cut between them and then and then you just keep that open for the year keep opening back up i mean what the only reason i have to go to those shacks is to keep their business going so they got more people right like other than that what's the point it's convenient they have blood worms blood worms and it was it was only a couple bucks it was 40 bucks for the three of us so if you're going with a friend you'd spend 30 bucks and we picked the bigger shack just so we could be comfortable and film provided us with firewood yeah decent dry fire would do it's not like we had to keep fighting the no yeah so they keep it warm for you you got the lines the house lines you don't even need anything you could just go there yeah and i'll put the link in the description yeah go there in your in your pajamas and uh just sit there and and catch smell i'd say that was a pretty darn good success i still want to try the smoked ones which i think are done now what are you doing i'm taking a nap [Applause] they're like little beef jerkies now you can hear them click when you put into the bowl all right ready chris oh yeah they're done now that smells smelty oh there's a lot more fishy but i like that no it's good reminds me of the seven day wilderness living challenge yeah there we go everything's good with a it's so good with it head and everything yeah yep yep what's your line it's way to go ahead of mine yep heads up that's good this might actually be my favorite way like no no it's good if we had smoked the bones are breaking down easier oh yeah they are yeah smoking them in there they like the bones chewed right up and stuff they're not uncomfortable in my mouth yeah yeah well because we know that from uh the main wilderness living challenge the el wife after smoking for three days and then going to eat them the bones just the you can't eat them any other way if you try to cook them and eat them they get stuck in your throat it's horrible but you smoke them for three days and then you burn them on a rock just to warm it up and it's like it melts in your mouth and stuff and that that did it that's good i think the heavy amount of salt is good with that smelt flavor that's good that's good right bon appetit pony apple that is awesome thank you guys for watching hmm very good watch it down with some seltzer i'm out thank you for subscribing and if you haven't already do so we're going to be at a million before too long with your help thank you guys very much for that and uh z grill's linked below they gave me this uh buy it at your own risk it looks really good it seems like it's worked really good so far but i've only ever cooked one thing on it and i've never owned a grill like this it's actually the same people that make traeger um so this is i don't know if it's like as if this is a little bit more bare bones you can't bluetooth it to your phone um at least i didn't see an option for that right no yeah but i like it so far so we'll get more into that and make it something smoked and really crazy long cook in the next one or the one after that long smoke something yeah long smoked some big ribs or smoke ring didn't you have some bull testicles some little testicles there or uh maybe a raccoon whole raccoon you know smoked and barbecued i don't know we'll see you next one fowler out more birds smelt with smell what is that is that just a regular house bat or oh i think i know how to use a magic bullet
