 What is up guys? Joe Holland here. This is a really exciting one for me. We're doing something completely different here in Maine We're doing a 39 hours Ice fishing turnips. There's like six or eight teams involved a guys running this in Maine off the same Format that the big boys did out in Canada and Central US. It is a species tournament This one's a little bit different There's three points for the longest of each species two for the second longest One point for the third longest the team with the most points wins So what we're going to do is we're going to try to get on the board with as many species as we can And some good ones too and see you if we can accumulate the most amount of points that we only have 39 hours to do it Tournament started five minutes ago We're running a little late the boys were a little late this morning showing up three man teams I have jack and brandon from my previous videos. You ready to roll? They're ready to roll. Let's go guys I'm good. Do you want this tucked around? Look at this. Look at jack If it gets cold just put that over your head You could fart to warm up You've got a chance for three four species right here jack in this hole I don't know how pinpointed I put you but it's pretty close and actually you got a chance for five species I jigged a 13 pound pike right here with that rod. Well Close to it. All right, you all set buddy? Yep. All good. Okay. Good luck holler. If you get something nice I would never ask that That's all that we talked about it. Is my beard starting to freeze? Yeah It's pretty bad, isn't it? Now we're medium-sized like This is black line. I don't like black line, but we're gonna fish it Look at that that and we're gonna hold them off the bottom put in the half maybe And this one make them work a little bit Yep, perfect. Thanks All right, Luke for 13 Almost 13 and a half inch bass myself Collins and jake up here It made a half turn So some of these some of these pigs for pike will just sit right there No, I don't see my mark They may have taken some Now I'm gonna let you catch this one. All right, bud Not yet though. Let's this was the smelt I think I think it is should have eaten it So it's got a good hook and it's got minimum 40 pound flurro or steel So don't be afraid to set that hook and jack them. All right, if he's if you feel him I don't think he's it might be. Yeah, he's on there If you when you feel them nail them and I'll keep this lay the line out to the side because he might take all this back Okay, if you feel him jack him if not just bring it up So he took four foot a little hit and run action. I think this was the smelt Or was it the shiner That's a smell. Is he chewed? No, he's swimming. Good. I don't believe he tripped score. All right. Just landed a cock in bass 17 just over 17 and a quarter Beautiful beautiful. We got our code nice one. Heck yeah, there you go. Yeah, that was a long time Nice That's a good eater size right there. Yeah, you're about to get one. He's on you. He's on Yes Because he ate upwards So some of these could be crappy. Yep Those kind of look like it. Oh Oh, yeah, nice First crappy on the board You can probably eat that size. Yeah, that's probably yellow He's giving you a good bend. This might be a decent fish Uh, yellow Yeah, they yellows hit way harder than crappy pretty long yellow, huh? He's probably close to 12 inches That's our biggest yellow yet. Yeah, he's right there. I got him Little yeah, he might not be too bad. Yeah, look at that one another one These are not bad yellows. That's pretty good size yellow right there dude. Look at it Look at the school, huh? Those might be some oh look he's coming in hot for you Oh Is it is it crappy? Oh, yes, nice. That's about like the other ones We got a wicked school of yellows here. I'm about to catch one. It's so good about the head I Got my drags super loose because uh my reel's frozen Everything's frozen his 13 below zero. Whoa crappy. Yep. That's a good eater size. He's 10 inch Yeah, they're mixed in those crappy You want me to keep him for you, right? All right, we're out here decent yellow perch Here's the code that felt pretty good. Feels like a decent yellow That's a pretty decent size school. If this is a yellow, it's a decent one Oh good. Look at that yellow that's gonna get us on the board Nice That's gonna get us on the board That's over 12 inches easy That's a beautiful yellow. Look at that thing. You gotta go to it. Oh, yeah Yeah, which one's bigger? Probably this one, right? These are stave and yellows. These are like stave and tiger trout. Yeah Main tiger trout Look at the size of that one. They call those jumbos Got him another decent I think Yeah decent look at that one, huh Another decent these are perfect eater size yellows. Oh, you got a school on you Yeah, I thought you were gonna get him We got a nice school going buddy. Oh, yeah. How's it going? This one's pretty big. Good one. Is it crappy or yellow? I hope it's a crappy, but I think it's a yellow. That'd be awesome. It's freaking good. Either way though Yeah, another solid yellow Look at that school. That thing's sucking in Is that what I caught came in right at 12 inches Right at the 12 inch mark with the nose closed. Not closed, I mean Oh All right, it's almost pike time We got a pretty good little stave going on Oh, look at this. They're coming way up for me Got them. That feels all right Unless he's just way off to the side Oh, we can catch 200 of these That's about and that's a good eater right there. Look at that choke that He came flying off. They're they're starting to compete Oh, does he go get them Look at that one. Oh, no, they're pumped. I hear them in there. They're giggling it in He'd eat it. He looked like he ate it. Yeah, there you go crappy or perch I don't know. Pretty heavy. Is it you need a hand or you got them? It feels like crappy, but oh, I hope that's crappy Ah little yellow It's weird how their marks are marked a lot bigger. No, this is different type of jigging than I'm definitely used to Oh, you'll get better. Oh, look at that I was wondering why we didn't have anything on the screen Oh, yeah Did you did you run? Did it move? Oh, yeah, there we go. Slow roll. All right. You probably ought to reel these in I doubt it You know what? Let's not wait on this guy. It hasn't worked yet. So let's let's see if he's there If it's a big yellow, we'll wait Anything took the bait So probably a big yellow for the pickle Yeah 13 and three-quarter inches There's the code Right now we're starting on we're setting our traps for pike and we're jigging for the panfish We're jigging for yellow perch. We're jigging for crappy and we're jigging for white perch and we might even jig for some rock bass today They're down there We are having a heck of a day already on the jig train. We got a 12 inch yellow Which might not do it, but it's it's honorable We got a couple decent crap like a 10 10 and a half inch crappy Should be a crappy in I think we lost the crappy off the back. Oh, it's right there. Oh, no. Yeah, we had another crap So for us our game plan is to To shotgun the numbers we're gonna play the numbers game. We're not looking for just a 40 inch pike, although we'll take it Rem's got hooked up over here. We're good one Oh We're looking to try to get as many points as we can get so if it's one point two point three point That's a nice yellow there We'll take whatever points we can get so we figure It'll we'll give our chance ourselves the best chance to win by having the most fish Species caught and somewhere on that board by length will be decent one way or the other to start Like I said, we're on pike And we're on the panfish panfish aren't huge here, but the yellows can get pretty big So we're going to focus on the yellows right now. We're going to try to get a pike And then we might even get out of here and go for some bigger fish somewhere else Nice, uh 11 and a half inch ice cube crappy It's not taking long to freeze up today. Is it nope? Did you catch that one jigan? Yeah, nice. Good job, buddy Thanks Do you guys have a lot on the screen over there or no? We'll get in marks, but they're being funny They're definitely crappy then yeah because the yellows are taking no time to hit. Yeah Yeah, he's all over you still I think these are small crappy The whole man he just ate Yeah, you had him I'll catch him for you And attacks let's see if it's Probably nothing Got him These feels decent Grab this lift It's a good one That's a good crappy dude Oh It's pretty good Well, what was our biggest so far? Oh, yeah, we're we're 13. I think he's 13 I don't think he's got the quarter But there's more of that size so yeah, we we don't take the tiebreaker there um If we tie him you see submitted first 11 and a half inch light perch Oh Go we got our first pipe worked hard for this one You got that 20 Just over 21 inches One inches Here's the code Score update Team Darrelville Salmon number one We got a flag They shut the camera off now if he gets the hole if you can't get his head go let him go It's a pike. Yep. Just let him go right back through jack's got your line. There you go. He's not very big, but Hey, we'll take him. It could be get his head coming. There you go. You got him. Just pull right straight back That's a pike. Let's get him on the measuring board jack. There's a uh, like catch bags there We can pop this hook out Good pike buddy. You've got like four or five pounders. Yeah, a lot of times He definitely wasn't there when I was pulling He might have been coming back towards you. Yeah, they'll run out and it'll spin right around My buddy caught a 40 out of some baddest and he thought he lost it What's the lead for pike? Nothing. All right, 21. All right, we got 28 and a half So he's not huge to get a picture. Yeah, scale right? We don't have to weigh him. It's just total measurement 20 and a half Yeah, let's get him. He's over five. Oh, that's a pretty one. All right. We'll see you later Now we got to make a decision fellas 28 and a half. I think they're just going to start to bite. Maybe we wait for one more Try to get in the third hour. Yeah, try to get that 34 range six hours in we got 33 hours left We got three species on the board. We cannot find the The rock bass Which it happens, you know, they're they're not something I could pattern yet I went to the three spots that I've caught them. They're not there and then we look at some other rocks And they're not there. So they move around a lot. We probably won't be able to get a rock bass unless we just catch one jiggin But we have so we have three fish on the board. We have a crappy that What was that 12 and a half? Second place crafty. It's all it's already the only second place. Yeah, so I got a 13 and a half We have a yellow that's 12. That's first place. That's in first and we have a Pike that's first for three points. All right. Now. I'm not confident on any of those The only one I think will hold for points is the yellow a 12 inch yellow will hold for at least a point or two So let's I'm feeling this. Let's see what you guys think. I'm feeling like we Wait this out another hour because it's about when the pike really turn off a big large mill No, we're not going to jack a largemouth here But to try to get a pike in the 30 plus range just just so nobody goes over to sabatis and pops a hammer handle on us That's like 28 29 and steals the points. Yeah, it's just one point The next skill though. Yeah, that's true. That is true. So I think it's worth another hour Then we got to start putting our heads together what we want to do with the rest of the day Score update The 15 and a quarter And three quarter inch yellow perch myself Collins and shakes in here Have you fished it before yeah, if we set traps in the weeds We'll have a chance at getting a 14 15 16 inch fall fish We have pickerel up to 26 inches that we've caught out of there. There's good perch and You're not going to get a giant bass, but 17 18 inches small and large We're going to afternoon bite. So we're going to think probably junk fish and there's giant crappie and hogan There's like 16 17 inch crappie and hogan. Do we want to go? Do you know it? Yeah You know it. Yeah Yeah, I've I've been fishing here for like five or six years. How far is it from Subego Because we're ended up on Subego tonight, right? Well, if it's from Oxford, it's gonna be a little bit more Yeah, you got to go around Thompson, I guess that's only 20 30 minutes from here from Subego probably probably the same thing for here We could I know right where the deep hole is where the big crappie should be The fall fish and pickerel will get good size of both littering the mill foil And I know right where the mill foil line is It's like a channel that's like 10 feet that comes up to 6 if we hit the channel and work into that It's the mill foil We got pickerel and fall fish and then if you set traps like 15 to 25 or like 12 to 22 You'll get small smallmouth. Maybe if they're active they can be funky, but largemouth all day All right guys, we are making the move. I hate to leave with such a small pike, but It might be enough Whoa, look at the icicles on my beard. Wow So we're leaving there with eight points three species Two first place so far and one second place And we're heading to a place where we might be able to take that crappy point back We're going to a spot that should have how many seven different species maybe eight different species That'll be in play this afternoon seven catchable. It's one o'clock Meaning we are seven hours into this. There's 32 hours left for us to get it done. Let's get it done All right, so what are our objectives for this pond that we're going to now? So our main goal is to get some new species on the board Fall fish which no one submitted one. I know there's some big ones in here I've caught them 15 plus inches There's some big picker. We've got them over two feet long here. So if we can get one of those we'll Edge out that 13 and a half inch here We could upgrade and steal the crappy point take first place And bass we got largemouth. There's a chance for smallmouth too. It's kind of weird It's got to be the right day for the smallmouth, but Even if we just catch a largemouth, that's at least eight inches. It's two points for us And that should be a pretty easy fish to catch Oh, yeah, that's in. There's white and yellow perch good size. We're not really targeting them, but We will definitely take them We should get a white perch on the board because that's two points We're not going to take first on that, but let's still take second Yeah, we gotta get one on the board. We might be able to jig them up while jigging for crappy. Yeah That'd be almost more take a second So we're leading with Uh 20 and a half inch pike. There's a second place pike, which is 21 maybe 23 quarters There's a 17 and a half inch largemouth. There's a 13 and a half inch pickerel 14 inch brown 12 and a half inch brookie There's a 16 and three quarter inch cusk We have first place yellow, uh, which is 12 inches. There's a 10 and three quarters in second place All right, we have second place for crappy, which is 13 No, 12 and three quarters and first place crappie is 13 and a half Um I think that is it. What was the brookie? No, there's a brookie was 12 and a half Uh, there's a brown brown was 14 There's a white perch All right, we just made the shift. We're heading to a new lake. We're gonna go for some new species for us for today Well, that was bad. We just tried two camp roads to get onto this lake this pond And everything is posted in private And I could jump Along there and get on but that's not setting a good example for the boys and it's not something I would ever do so We're loaded back up and we think we found an access point up here Go ahead. All right guys. We're just getting set up on this new lake Penny bait team barrelville 16 inch He's got the arm bar I would that Brandon Don't hurt him. We need him for dust fishing team barrelville Nice cusk. There's the code go for it This one's not moving. Yeah, this one's try it test it. What is it? I've been playing with it Is it 16 inches back there? It's right here. Bring it over You got something or what? Yeah, he's got one. It feels so Pickerel school of pickerel. Let's go Pickerel same as yours Probably mine This one 15 He hits 15 Brandon's look a little bigger. Oh, that's what's rent This one's gonna take three points. Yep. Let's go Oh, yeah 16 and what 16 and a half. All right, we gotta get a picture of it That's first it's first jeez. That's tiny for a pickle. Yep, but it's the biggest today. We'll take it First place. Yeah Yours 16 and a half 15 and a quarter was the biggest. He's tiny. That's three points though. This place wasn't a I didn't get a hold out, but we'll take it tomorrow. We can get a big one. Yeah, let's get your bigger one tomorrow I'm gonna sell mine for browns though because we already got the pickle Team barrelville nice week. Oh nice week perch beautiful That was awesome. All right, let's get out of here So get supper and you got a 16-inch plate If he gets a total get a light stick, we might be in trouble That's good pizza. It doesn't even have to be good. I bet and it's tasty good no matter what. Are you liking it jack? Anymore or just 17 But we only need to beat 1675 Oh, yeah Number two a grab piece of bacon feels tiny Real small the thing's built like a tank get a laker What is it? I believe in 17. Oh, yeah 18 Nice jack. Oh boy jack. We're coming in language for a bunch Don't break another year. Don't get that thing all slimed up my meter dude That one's a nice one. Yeah, you can cook this guy up in the year 19 Oh Someone get the board He's long. He's skinny. This is probably my pb cusk. Really hold them up. This is my third cusk ever Oh, no kidding. Yeah, I call it one through the ice one night fishing and now this guy Oh, yeah, he's over 19 he's almost 20 19 and a half Yep, I did you know Good job, buddy This is a big one Don't mess it up. It's a big one. Oh, no, I caught a bigger one It's 30 He's in the rock season or we can come back in like 10 minutes. Yeah, this is a tow Anyway, is it good one? Crappy, I think Crappy David Nice, that's the one we need him that might. Oh, I don't know if that'll go 24 Yeah, he's gonna be close to 24. Where's the bump board? That's done bump or keep that You want to keep that? Yeah, it's an eater Cusk nuggets, baby. We fried some up the other day. Best thing ever working good. That might be second place jack We already have they got freaking strong jaws, don't they? Yeah You got your finger in there. Yeah, I got two in there Uh, yeah, this one was Come on, baby. Ah It was a good upgrade though 22 and a quarter 22. Yeah Got everything I believe so, okay Okay, guys, that's enough for tonight. We caught jeez what we get three or four cuffs four or five four cuffs one two Three four, I think we got four And we got one 22 at a quarter inch here. That was our biggest So that puts us up into third for cusk as of right now gets us a point, right? Yeah, so that puts us back in the lead for the day I can't see over there For day one, we are in the leaderboard by one point. I believe two points We took it took that oh nice guy who's tired of this. All right. It was 11 11 We took that cusk point third place cusk to make it 12 10. I think there's another team with 10 a couple sevens five I think something like that But I don't feel great about pretty much all of our species. So we got a pop a lot of species tomorrow Yeah, tomorrow we're starting out for browns and white perch and then we're going to make a move into largemouth bass possibly crappy possibly rainbow upgrade possibly picker upgrade That'd be nice. A lot of possibles tomorrow. I don't want to spend any extra time on that because We have three points, but I don't think that whole Only thing honestly, I feel good about is that pike. Yeah, so perch is pretty good, too So rather than drive home An hour and a half the wrong direction and come back down here for a two-hour drive tomorrow We're going to try we're going to drive about a half hour and get to the Hannafit brothers parking lot and Take a quick snooze. We got time for probably three hour three and a half hour nap Hopefully we'll get a little sleep in there and meet the boys early in the morning But you know it didn't feel like a great day of fishing to be honest with you. We didn't really smash them We had opportunities for a lot more than what we did. I guess the rock bass is kind of a long shot Yeah, yeah, and the crappy we did what we expected did a little better than we expected there Yeah, yellow we probably could have hoped for a little bigger, but So home walk out of hope That second pond was just a pickle. It's a little disappointing. Yeah that that I wish we could have redone But hey, that's fishing that pond can fish weird and it's definitely fishing weird at least we walked out with three points
