- On this episode of Fish Quest, we teamed up with @JohnsonsOutdoorAdventures as we hit the backwaters of Idaho in search of Northern Pikeminnow, jumbo crawfish and White Sturgeon
I have three goals for this episode:
1) catch a squawfish(N. Pikeminnow) to use as crawfish bait.
2) catch jumbo crawfish for a crawfish boil.
3) help @JohnsonsOutdoorAdventures land a sturgeon over 3ft.

Jerry with Crayster here. Great video! Thanks for the shout out, enjoy the traps for many years!
Thanks again for the awesome product. Crayster =Quality made in the USA!
6:15 Glad to see me falling into the river made it into the final production!
9:12 Bruh 😂
By far my favorite trip/video to date! Thanks for bringing me along
I know how covetous you get when I whip my new gear out lol😂. Thanks again for coming with, hopefully you can make it out for a few more adventures this year
We just wished we could have been with you on this great trip. Fishing and boils are our favorite things! Well done guys! We subscribed, keep up the good work.
Thanks @Crayster. We’d love to go and hit the river with you all sometime this summer! Thanks for the sub and awesome product!
Looks like you could throw a saddle on some of those and ride them up and down the river.
Oh trust me, Joseph would have if he had a saddle with us.😂
I’m convinced cooking in nature like that is a luxury. That is so nice (:
plenty more where that came from....you'll see
Nice triple crown. Looked delicious
Hey thanks, I think I’m going to try to incorporate more crawfish boils into future content.
"try not to get to chubbed up when you see this" HAHAHAHAH
I left that in for a certain two people to see and the two people didn’t let me down!🤣
I’m glad I found your channel. Great video.
Thanks and welcome! More content coming soon.
Looks like fun boys!
Always a blast hanging out with everyone catching sturgeon, literally an addiction of mine!
Wow!!!!!😮
What a 🦕 ‼️👍 I would love to catch a Sturgeon one of these days.
heart eyes
7.5 FEET!? 🤯
Is there a video of you catching it?
Yeah man, have you seen my other sturgeon video: th-cam.com/video/EFxgo6Aajy8/w-d-xo.html
What rod are you using for the Sturgeon?
@The Brand, in the video we are using Okuma Sst Sturgeon rods. I don’t believe that okuma makes the same model anymore. I will probably be buying a 12’ ugly stik big water and modifying it to have a longer handle for bank fighting sturgeon.
@@FishQuest You have to tell them WHY you're having to buy another rod 🤣😂🤣😂
1K subscriber HaHa 😄 quality is on top for this video in every aspect BRAVO
I was ( still em) looking for great spots ,such rivers and lakes to catch and buy big size crawfish/crayfish/crawdad ut unfortunately couldn't fine reliable market 😕 long story short Snake River is next stop
Any good recommendations folks ? 🤙
@@mancini8800 thanks for being my 1000th and thanks for the compliment! It means a lot. We’ve had great success most anywhere along the snake especially in stretches of river that have large rocks for shelter. I don’t think I’ve been skunked anywhere in the snake for crawfish! Best of luck! We have some new videos out this week!
Pretty sure those crawfish traps are not legal in Idaho (funny considering they're made there). They have to be closed with a natural material that will decay and cause the trap to open (become ineffective) should they be lost (don't want zombie traps). Those do not appear to do that.
@jerrystruhs5667 Did I miss something in the video?
From the 2024 Idaho Fishing Proclamation:
Trapping or Seining Minnows and Crayfish: All game fish (except yellow perch) and protected nongame fish incidentally taken while trapping or seining must be immediately released alive. Nongame fish (minnows), yellow perch, and crayhish may be taken only in waters open to fishing; provided the seine or net does not exceed ten (10) feet in length or width, and nets and seines must have three-eighths (3/8) inch square or smaller mesh; and the minnow or crayfish trap does not exceed two (2) feet in length, width or height. If the trap is of irregular dimension, but its volume does not exceed the volume of an eight (8) cubic foot trap, it is also legal to use. Nets and seines may not be left unattended. Traps must be checked at least every forty-eight (48) hours. All traps must have a tag attached bearing the owner's name and address.
All fish so taken must immediately be killed except where stated otherwise. Crayfish may be kept alive to be used as bait only on the water where captured. Nongame fish and crayfish may only be taken during the season set for the taking of game fish in
those waters.
Only five (5) crayfish traps can be fished with a valid fishing license. If more than five traps are used at one time, you must obtain a Commercial Fishing License and trap tags.
It is illegal to destroy, disturb, or remove any traps belonging to others.
Would you care to cite your sources for your information?
Should add squawfish are invasive
No, they're native actually. They manage them to reduce, not eliminate them.
@jasonhurdlow6607 they're native to the Columbia, but were rarely in the tributaries until the dams were built. Slowing the rivers allows them to move upstream in to tributaries where they breed in reservoirs and become excessively large.
Definitely on the bucket list! Just subscribed. We have a similar channel if you want to check it out. Thanks!
