Two questions:

How do you hold a fish? By it's gills or in the middle of it?

And also, do you ever use live bait like worms?

[Genevieve Babetski]

For the second question, I meant, were those life worms he used on his slenderspoon. The chandelier of worms, lol XD

[InDepthOutdoorsTV]

Those were wax worms. And yes, they were real bait.

[InDepthOutdoorsTV]

You don't want to hold a fish by the gills. Instead on most species it works well to slide your fingers up under the gill cover. But never touch the gills themselves.

[Zach Mathieu]

Have you even gone fishing in Maine?

[InDepthOutdoorsTV]

No, we've never been that far east. Actually, not even close.

kinney lake!? looks like you guys are out a few feet from the old landing "eh?" i have caught my biggest trout out of green lake but kinney is by far the best for numbers.

[FiskeFriluftFritid]

In my opinion, trout and char is the best fishing :)

This last weekend we fished northeast Minnesota designated trout lakes. Nothing cooler than watching a rainbow smash your lure 5 feet below the ice!!! Unbelievably fun fish to catch!!! Your videos keep me fired up for my next outing!! Thanks!!!
