Just wanted to chime in and tell you I enjoy your videos. The next time you're in Springfield go by my nephews bait shop. Big Reds Bait & Tackle. Catfish and Crappie is his jam.
That's Fishin 🎣,, You Always Have A Few To Make A Dinner 🦈🎣 if you so choose , ya enjoy what you do , what's more to ask for , Good Job Spencer ,,That's Dinner 🦈🎣😋 😁
Excellent video. Great background guitar. Super cool stuff. I don't hate you as much because you really do work your ass off for the fish you catch. That makes you less of a River Richard Head. In my area the whole river is 4-8 feet with 12 foot holes near bridges that are inaccessible without a boat. Anyway, thanks for the adventure!
I asked him if he wanted to fish, but he never responded. I freaking love those glasses man. If ya haven't got a pair, definitely use my promo code in the description if ya order some. Saves ya some money and helps me out too.
So glad you take precautions. We could only get crappie minnows one time years ago and gold hooks and we caught absolutely everything thru the ice that trip. Bluegill, largemouth, walleye, and channels. It's all we use now and dead stick em. Just vary the depth because they'll come in higher than you think. Great vid my friend and love you take the time to respond. Keep your powder dry young man 💪😎
I actually had a decent evening this week on cats using minnows. Funny you mention it, but I caught one about 10 feet off the bottom. Figured it was a crappie. You do the same sir! I appreciate all the advice and kind words!
Okay seen it several times now, so what's the orange bar thingy? Pull for your inflatable? Perhaps a super secret Ice Fishing tip only guys in the know, know? How was the Pizza? Good video, always surprises me that Cats hit in Winter like this. You can tell I'm fair weather, LOL.
How deep of water were you targeting? And im local to the area now so if you ever wanna try for some walleyes up on Brushy id be glad to drag ya along this winter. Tight lines man, keep the content comin.
I love how the cameraman works great when a guy calls his shot and loses it lol, then conveniently malfunctions when he calls it again and sticks a dandy!😂👌 that stuff looks like fun!!
@@trevorrandlesoutdoorsiowa I’m not sure what’s sadder and more telling, the fact that he couldn’t find a better fisherman to hang out with, or that you genuinely sound excited to see my ugly mug fishing😂😂🎣🎣 always a good time with lots of laughs and talking a little trash😁 oh... and pizza, my pizza bill has gone up 500% the last year or so! Lol
I'm a southern boy so the largest body of water that freezes over is the bird bath, but does that happen often? I mean going out on a large body of water and randomly finding someone else's hole with your chisel.
Loving the ice fishing vids man ! I was wondering what kind of bait tank do you use usually the white one with the three hoses I’ve been looking into some can’t find that one . Thanks !
Thanks man I appreciate the reply’s , glad the content still rolling , can’t wait to see more flats in a few months ! I may just get a 19 Qt and use my own !
Love the video my guy. But I love the way you and Josh communicate with each other just such love there. Hes one of the other guys I watch along with millikin but keep making them ill keep watching riverexican out.
Another good one bud. Always enjoy it. Especially when you incorporate a little trash talking with the Stash. lol. Josh is just jealous you catch cats through the ice instead of bait fish. Ha ha. Love both of ya'lls content.
Love watching your videos! You're my #1 go to for catfish videos. If I want to watch someone catch carp I head over to the stache channel. Then of course the MFer for rippin bass lips. Fishing is life!
@@RiverCertified and 30yrs. later he's still my fishing buddy. old saying... wives and girl friends come and go but if you find some one you can call any time any weather to go fish that's a friend.
You are inspiring me to try ice fishing! Will you do a vid explaining what the heck the flashy lights mean on your fish finder and how you can tell what is happening?
Whisker stick is always breaking bought one returned it and it broke again 😢 . Wanted to catch a big one with it but never got a chance . Not interested in returning I'm switching to slime rods . Also catfish pro Is cheaper and better all around a tougher rod js .
@@RiverCertified ya ok I see I've been watching your videos because I want to go fishing but were in the process of moving to Arkansas because of the hurricane in Louisiana
@@RiverCertified I picked up the left hand version for $45 shipped on Ebay. I don't know why I bought it. Maybe I'll stick it on a Dock Demon rod. As it's an ice rig, what size line are you using?
Dang it! I'm having withdrawals! We don't have ice yet. ❄ The rivers are swollen to a pretty unsafe level for paddling. At least I could watch you freezing your hands 🥶 and hooking some nice fish with a good friend. Thanks for sharing. 🎣😎👍🏼 Edit: Go, Bears! Beat those Saints! 🏈
Woody scared you gonna fry him too, heck you kill and fry everything as I do too? lol And thanks for the snot update I was wondering how much Spencer Nose Slime had come out of your proboscis! Tight lines and props to Cory for putting up with Rat King! Nice Feesh! Losing Springer, was Bummed out until I saw ya dropped a Vid! C'mon baseball!
I would love to See more videos like this!! but I can not hit the subscribe button.....AGAIN!!! PLEASE PLEASE I need you to practice your teaching skills and teach my dumb **** how the hell that flashy thing works. That is a tip from spencer I will gladly take!. Also I still think the creek chub Catch clean and cook is a great idea!!!!=P PS you should do a live stream....Or try one....T
I honestly would, but my camera doesn't pick up the bars on it, so I cant show you on that model. Im saving my money for panoptix though, and I'm gonna get one that records. Ill probably do a live stream on Sunday on Facebook 😁
@@RiverCertified There could be some free store database of stock fishing video muzak, I have no idea. But one of the last ones is the typical PigPatrol tune
My phone call made the video. I feel loved. ❤️
what’s up stache potatoes? i can smell you from here
😂
It's great how you guys just talk crap on each other and laugh about it. Favorite part when you guys fish together is the sarcastic remarks
You have boo, isn't that enough?
Stache patch kids. For the ones who can’t grow a stache but try anyways 🤣
18:10 thanks man
It's my pleasure man!
@@RiverCertified not many people that do that on TH-cam. I do it for my channel but I only get like 5-10 comments a video
This ice fishing business is so cool
It's honestly a ton of fun
I'm digging the ice fishing the river videos
Glad ya do. Thats the last river one for a while, but the cats do get bigger!
Get home from wrestling to watch a river certified video? I think yes!
Hell yeah man! Good luck on tournament day!
We make marks in inches on the handle of our ladle. So you can use it to measure the ice that way you don't have to put your hand in the water.
I had that on my other ladle, but lost it of course.
Great day of cat fishing and yeah you are probably 1 of the best with comments.
Whole Lotta fun man. I try my best!
I'm still watching.👍
I appreciate that!
My buddy just asked me last night if you can ice fish for catfish! You might have a new subscriber!
Haha I appreciate it dude
Love everyone of ur videos
I'm really glad you do man!
Like setting mouse traps!
No doubt man!
Woody is such a wonderful dog
Great video. Very informative
Glad you liked it sir!
Just wanted to chime in and tell you I enjoy your videos. The next time you're in Springfield go by my nephews bait shop. Big Reds Bait & Tackle. Catfish and Crappie is his jam.
I appreciate the kind words sir. I'll have to google that next time I'm there. Probably won't be till next fall.
That fall made me 😂
I left it in there just for you man haha
I really admire you Spencer! It’s not many who know they suck at something but keep trying so hard. A real inspiration, keep up the good work.😄
Haha I'm not very smart
Jeez somehow I missed this when you posted. Glad I'm catching up the catching
I'm glad ya enjoyed it man
That's Fishin 🎣,, You Always Have A Few To Make A Dinner 🦈🎣 if you so choose , ya enjoy what you do , what's more to ask for , Good Job Spencer ,,That's Dinner 🦈🎣😋 😁
I can't argue with that logic. Appreciate all the support Donnie!
I forgot you have some pretty sweet ice fishing video's!😂
Spencer you gotta rock the stash son.. you’ll be a legend
Couldn’t agree more
Ginger Stash
Don't worry, it will make an appearance as soon as I get tired of the beard
He has before and will again 🤣 But he's not the stache man!
Get the gray away! Lol 😂

Haha you have a way with words sir. I appreciate everything though. Even if you hate me a little haha
@@RiverCertified
It's all love. Lol Jealousy can make a man talk funny.
Gotta confess that that looked fun. Not much for snow and ice, but you definitely make the best of it. Thanks, Spencer...
It honestly is a blast. Im gonna possibly run guided trips next year for cats.
@@RiverCertified I’d make that trip, just let us know. Helped a friend guide for ducks here when I was younger and met some great people.
Hell ya! Love the ice fishint videos
Glad ya do man. I'm editing more right now!
I dig them glasses man, u should try and do some collab videos with miliken i think u guys would be funny together
I asked him if he wanted to fish, but he never responded. I freaking love those glasses man. If ya haven't got a pair, definitely use my promo code in the description if ya order some. Saves ya some money and helps me out too.
@@RiverCertified hell yeah thanks man but i bet to fish with miliken u gotta talk to josh pigpatrol so u can all fish together or somethin
Love seeing a fellow Iowa boy using eyeconic ice rods!
Yessir. Hands down the best ice rods I've ever used, and they're local!
Winner winner chicken dinner
Yessir!

@@RiverCertified we use slip bobbers in the hole eliminate the human error that happens with a soft bite.
Best channel on TH-cam, and I’d say you answer more comments than about anyone on here. Great job and thanks for all the tips and laughs.
I appreciate the kind words man. I just love talking fishing to be honest. I should probably do more presentations.
Okay seen it several times now, so what's the orange bar thingy? Pull for your inflatable? Perhaps a super secret Ice Fishing tip only guys in the know, know? How was the Pizza? Good video, always surprises me that Cats hit in Winter like this. You can tell I'm fair weather, LOL.
They pull apart and have spikes on em. It's in case you fall through the ice so you can climb back out.
hey man on post 6 days ago with the little walleye I hared a a picture of a giant pike my buddy got. Thanks again man
I thought I was following you on IG, but I guess not. What's your handle on there?
@@RiverCertified posted again on ur fb bottchad is my IG but hardly post pictures on it lol
get an air fryer. try it you might like it. I knew I was consuming too much grease and made the switch.
Ironically I just got one
Your a good guy.. love watching your videos bud
I try my best! Glad ya enjoy em!
Happy you posted right now. Just got home and rolled one up. Ready to sit and enjoy. Thanks bud
Enjoy yourself man!
I must admit Spencer, you are a trooper. Stay safe and always love your videos.
It's honestly a blast man. Glad ya enjoy the videos though!
Awesome
Thank you!
I envy your flathead videos but you get extra kudos for your "want to" for the ice fishing...I prefer a nice fire. Ty sir !
I honestly love chasing cats through the ice. The best is when you get the shack heated up and kick back and relax.
Think and use the stink amigo. You will be amazed.
I'll have to give it a chance tomorrow!
How deep of water were you targeting?
And im local to the area now so if you ever wanna try for some walleyes up on Brushy id be glad to drag ya along this winter.
Tight lines man, keep the content comin.
I believe these were all in 7-8 feet of water. I appreciate the invitation man!
👍👍
Hey i believe i seen ya catching ice cats on another channel with Boo and ol Stashamacallit!
There's a good chance you did haha
I love how the cameraman works great when a guy calls his shot and loses it lol, then conveniently malfunctions when he calls it again and sticks a dandy!😂👌 that stuff looks like fun!!
Cory weaver on TH-cam! Hell yeah thanks Spencer

Definitely not often. I was freaked out.
Loving the ice fishing vids man ! I was wondering what kind of bait tank do you use usually the white one with the three hoses I’ve been looking into some can’t find that one . Thanks !
Glad ya do man! It's actually a prototype I'm testing. My old one was just a 20 quart cooler with an aerator I attached to it.
Thanks man I appreciate the reply’s , glad the content still rolling , can’t wait to see more flats in a few months ! I may just get a 19 Qt and use my own !
Awesome video as always! Lovin the ice fishing videos!!
Glad ya are man! I'm having a blast with chasing the ice cats
Love the video my guy. But I love the way you and Josh communicate with each other just such love there. Hes one of the other guys I watch along with millikin but keep making them ill keep watching riverexican out.
Glad ya find it all entertaining man. Hopefully I'll have some more videos with stache soon. You're the man Luis!
Nice vid man, I enjoyed it. Keep them coming.
Glad ya did man. I'm gonna keep doing my best!
Another good one bud. Always enjoy it. Especially when you incorporate a little trash talking with the Stash. lol. Josh is just jealous you catch cats through the ice instead of bait fish. Ha ha. Love both of ya'lls content.
Hell yeah man! The stache has been nailing some big ones lately. I've been a little jealous. Gonna be some good videos coming from him soon.
Not sure if I asked you. But have you ever been to Vancouver B.C Canada? When traveling is good again you should come fishin.
I haven't man. It's on my bucket list for salmon, steelhead and sturgeon.
You need auto screen on your phone. Nice vid!
I also need some more brain power, but I'm working on it haha
I remember ice fishing when I lived in IL. Don't think I ever caught a cat. Looks fun actually 🍺
Cats through the ice are definitely a new addiction of mine
I'm frying catfish while watching 😆
Very jealous!
UH "DURPIE" NEVER HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE!! AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAYS 🤙🤙🤙"MO"
Gettin' creative haha. Glad ya got a kick outta it dude!
Hey man I'll go pheasant hunting with you anytime. I have a couple of good dogs. I'm in Lincoln Nebraska
I really appreciate the invitation! Hope NE has better pheasants than southern Iowa.
Solid 5 inches haha!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Is it poo or p-you 😂
Was that stache man on the phone? Sounded like him and you said Josh 🤔
Sure was
Snowy ice is some sketchy stuff. The float suit is a great investment.
Agreed man
"Good time" the country song comes on an i instantly think of your channel, always catching a good time👌🏼
I had to listen to it after reading that. I totally see what you're sayin man
Ice fishing channel cats equal catch, filet and release
Sadly, I've only kept one so far. That will likely change this weekend!
hey spencer you ever fish the coralville reservoir
I haven't but definitely need to.
@@RiverCertified its a pretty nice place where i caught my 40lb flathead at
Great fishing for dam near anything but depending on what you wanna target mean lots of traveling. But makes for awesome road trips.
That looked like a cold trip..great video
It wasn't warm, but definitely fun. Glad ya enjoyed it man!
Love watching your videos! You're my #1 go to for catfish videos. If I want to watch someone catch carp I head over to the stache channel. Then of course the MFer for rippin bass lips. Fishing is life!
Sounds like you got a pretty good lineup, at least Josh and Ben haha. Fishing is definitely my life😁
@@RiverCertified as a fellow ginger. I say keep the beard while ice fishing!
Ever fish western Nebraska or Colorado ? Let me know if your interested
I haven't. Really appreciate the invite though!
I Eat to much fried foods my self lol. Eating some fresh walleye as i watch .Another great video as always .
Jealous. I need to cook up the walleye I have.
We need some good cold weather here in Ohio so we can get out on some ice!
It doesn't look promising dude
The river is nowhere bear freezing here yet in indiana
Dang global warming haha
So totally off topic of the video but what is the brand of sleeping cot you use.
My big one is from walmart. My compact one is from amazon. There's a link to it in all my flathead camping videos.
@@RiverCertified awesome thank you sir! Happy fishing!
Thanks for all these videos helps out so much when I’m bored at work lol plus I learned a lot. Plus some of the random shit you say cracks me up
Glad you get enjoyment out of them man. I do my best!
i have a bad luck fishing friend also. he's broken the tips off of 3 of my poles...
I call him Jonah...lol
I know a guy like that. I call him Brandon Caroll
That's impressive haha
@@JohnnyBGoode-q7n lol...i also call him maumee river cause as soon as i catch a fish he's standing 2ft.away from me.
@@RiverCertified and 30yrs. later he's still my fishing buddy.
old saying... wives and girl friends come and go but if you find some one you can call any time any weather to go fish that's a friend.
Nice catches Spencer. And you said pizza i thought it was going to be a catfish pizza lol.
Thanks man. I'd try that pizza haha
You are inspiring me to try ice fishing! Will you do a vid explaining what the heck the flashy lights mean on your fish finder and how you can tell what is happening?
I would but my camera won't pick it up for some reason. I'm saving up for panoptix, otherwise I'd get a digital flasher that is easier to read.
Hay guys did you catch any that were over 100 lb.
We did not
Whisker stick is always breaking bought one returned it and it broke again 😢 . Wanted to catch a big one with it but never got a chance . Not interested in returning I'm switching to slime rods . Also catfish pro Is cheaper and better all around a tougher rod js .
You make the funniest sounds when you fall LOL
Hahaha It's probably cuz I'm so soft
Where do you get your rattles and small floats for draging/trolling?
www.whiskerseeker.com
Most of my stuff is linked in the descriptions of videos too.
Ok cool!!!
Sweet spencer just wondering do you do overnight ice fishing if so cant wait for that. Anyway loved this video HOPE YOU CATCH A GIANT!!
I'm planning on it at some point. I just want the ice to be a tad thicker first. Thanks for all the support man!
What size hooks were you using?
1/0, but probably gonna switch back to a 4/0. Been missing some fish on the jaw jackers.
How cold was it out there
I think the high that day was low 20s
Hay what would you do if you caught a catfish and it didn't fit thru the ice
I'd drill another hole into it. I can confirm a 25 lber will fit through an 8 inch hole. Barely haha
@@RiverCertified ya ok I see I've been watching your videos because I want to go fishing but were in the process of moving to Arkansas because of the hurricane in Louisiana
My bet, it is you Spencer 😝
I'd bet you're probably right
Is that a Royal Express in the 4600 size at 17:00?
Yessir. Love that little reel!
@@RiverCertified I picked up the left hand version for $45 shipped on Ebay. I don't know why I bought it. Maybe I'll stick it on a Dock Demon rod.
As it's an ice rig, what size line are you using?
@@ocshaman7323 I use it for hybrids and channels in open water too. I run 30 lb braid
How do you read your feesh finder? Never used one of them!
The camera won't pick it up worth a crap or I'd show it on a video. Mine is the cheaper one (Still ain't cheap unfortunately).
Solid 5 inches and you smirk, we all did, ha ha ha
😂😂😂
Dag that cat have frozen whiskers?
YEs he did haha
Dang it! I'm having withdrawals!
We don't have ice yet. ❄
The rivers are swollen to a pretty unsafe level for paddling.
At least I could watch you freezing your hands 🥶 and hooking some nice fish with a good friend.
Thanks for sharing. 🎣😎👍🏼
Edit:
Go, Bears! Beat those Saints! 🏈
Sounds like you need a road trip man! Glad you enjoyed the video at least. I hope the bears can at least be competitive.
What kind of rod is that? Never seen a ice fishing CASTING ROD. I want it lol
Woody scared you gonna fry him too, heck you kill and fry everything as I do too? lol And thanks for the snot update I was wondering how much Spencer Nose Slime had come out of your proboscis! Tight lines and props to Cory for putting up with Rat King! Nice Feesh! Losing Springer, was Bummed out until I saw ya dropped a Vid! C'mon baseball!
Haha I'd think ol Woody would know better by now. Glad ya appreciate the updates sir hahaha.

lol did you sneak some special muzak in there, towards the end?
Maybe. Honestly can't remember anything.
@@RiverCertified There could be some free store database of stock fishing video muzak, I have no idea. But one of the last ones is the typical PigPatrol tune
I just randomly ran across some vids when you fished with Justin in Tennessee. I assume that was a wonderful experience 🤣
No comment haha
Awesome dude! I have a 4 acre pond with lots of bullheads and limited channels. Any tips on how to jig for em?
Start in the deepest water and work shallower is what I'd do
What rod were you using for jigging
Eyeconic Medium Light. Love that thing. I got a promo code for 10% off too. RC10
Poor'ol Woodie. Was he a rescue pooch? Thanks for the advice. I'm just getting serious about ice fishing, and I'll take all the pointers I can.
Yeah he was. He lives a pretty dang good life all in all. Hope the tips help man!
I’ve never been this early to anything in my life
Me either
I definitely haven't either haha
Yo!
Wud up
how safe is it to ice fish on a big fast river?
Probably not very safe. It depends a lot on where you live. More current usually means more dangerous.
Where did you get your rod holders?
Amazon. They're linked in the description.
let Nemo go
If woody could talk, he'll probably identify as a cat...
Dude, that's no joke
Are those spinning reels simply just rubber banded on ?
Basically. They're called ice bands.
