thanks for keeping your content clean and interesting. you have my 7 year old daughter so inspired that she wants to come on my next weekend on the ice. I could not thank you enough for helping me to inspire my young ones to enjoy the outdoors as I do. please continue to create great content and we will be life long subscribers. cant wait for the next vid.
-43!!!! That is another level of Ice Fishing my friend. I’m ok at -10ish but you are definitely half Bear. You slammed the fish in this video and deserved every one of them. Lots of hard work. Cheers
Just love this video Joe and then muskies are pretty cool fish. I too believe being out there by your self is so good for the sole to get away from all the hustle and bustle of this crazy world that we live in now. I been battling cancer for the past 6 years and getting out to hunt and fish or just taking a ride though the woods is such good therapy for the mind and soul. And these videos you do are also good for the soul and very inspiring for me to get out there Maine has so much to offer! Keep up the good work my friend!!!
Just got home from a loooong day at work …. Open up TH-cam and my man posted a hour long video!!!!! Doesn’t get much better than that! Thanks for the nice long video joe, I can’t wait to watch!! BEST CHANNEL ON TH-cam!!!
@@JoeHollandFishing those fish are absolutely gorgeous!, man o man you are built different than most, not many guys can bare -40 degrees and have a smile on their face! Unbelievable content this year Joe, you should be very proud of your work, it can stand up to ANY channel on TH-cam, I’ll be back same time for tomorrows episode
The best start to this episode I think Joe, is when you walked out of camp...looked around, and didn't say a word. The majestic wilderness of silence said it all!...along with the view in the distance of course 😁...and there's nothing wrong with talking to yourself. It doesn't matter how long you've been there. I feel that helps you through situations and gives you confidence. Another great episode Joe. As I always say buddy...be safe!!
Good day of fishing today . can hear it in your voice and tell you are super pumped after yesterday's fishing ... all catching today.. Thanks joe..always love the video's 🎣
Love your channel joe it’s one of my favorites I’m a NH resident and native and I spend a lot of time hunting and fishing in Maine. You’re a great guy and great outdoorsman who knows maybe I’ll run in to ya someday on the ole golden road. Thanks for the great content I always look forward to your videos.
Awesome show Joe, love the musky content, never had them there when I lived there! So it's a treat to see, also CONGRATS on making minndak outdoors top ten! Ice fishing utubers! Your the man!
Hay joe i just went on my first ice fishing camping trip i caught some big rainbow trout and 15 inch yellow perch out here in idaho you inspired me to go try it im hooked loved it keep making your great video's good fishing to you
Nice video Joe iam a concrete floor contractor an this winter has been slow so been fishing almost everyday looked forward to see your videos at nite now can't wait to go in the am thxs
@@JoeHollandFishing when your battery in the auger died, I died laughing when you start looking off in the distance it reminded me of what I do when I’m mad your best joe
Hey Joe. Fishing Webber Pond in Vassalboro on the 10-12 of February. If you’re bored and want to get some fishing in with good guys, park your truck at the boat ramp on dam road and head right around the corner. We’ll be down on the right.
Anther great video, nothing wrong with hanging by yourself, usually do it twice a year. Great fish you caught cant wait to see you pull up the monster gator!
Try and bring 5 interlocking foam mats along and put them over lapping each other between your cot and wall wrapping around the corner of your cot and wall....it keeps the cold and frost off your sleeping bag and pillow! I don’t have wet pillows anymore....lol
@@JoeHollandFishing I wedge one at each end of my cot on the corners that are against the tent wall , the rest sit on the floor. Next time I’m out I’ll take pictures to send you.
Hey Joe i noticed the frost on the inside roof of the tent isn’t it great when it melts on everything loll i put a tarp over my roof what a difference no frost and it really helps keep the heat in 😉
I have a 30 quart Engel bait cooler the latches are metal I have had very good luck with it. It will freeze but I can open fairly easily. Another great video! Thanks
Thank you. I don't fully recommend that jaw spreader. The idea and concept of it are perfect, the materials used are not. I've put mine through a lot of big pike so the cogs won't really catch anymore. Wish they used a harder and better metal when making it.
Not sure how you do it !! lay time I fished in -14 with about a 10 mph wind. I got my truck stuck on the lake while shoveling it out. I broke my shovel had yo use my trailer reciever to bust up the hard packed snow and I frost bit 7 of my 10 digits. My fingers have never been the same. Bow hunting in the fall I can barely take my stand down when it's around 10 above or below !! Stay safe in that cold weather brother you seem to so well though!!
Wow. Nice and cold. Didn’t think you guys see those lows temps in Maine. I camped last week for the first time . It hit -38 Celsius here in Labrador Canada 🇨🇦 Yourself and Chuck porter (Everything Outdoors) inspired me. Thanks.
Nice Muskies ! i am curios if you leave your heater on high will it keep from freezing in your bob house, I have the Eskimo 3I and the smaller buddy heater and it stays very warm all nite long. Keep the vids coming
You are a awesome fisherman love your videos Now I would like to know about your shop What is with all the Axes I have a few of old Snow and Neilie cant dogs for logs and a few axes
Just watching this episode. You wondered what lent to your catching 9 small muskies. If they are that consistently small and aggressive I'd think forage is an issue. Got any numbers on that?
I was hoping to see a lunker Musky ? Your shanty looked super warm and durable ! It was nice watching you and you have a wonderful personality, so I subscribed < That -43 degree's would have sent me running home l o l. Stay Safe, Stay Warm
Thank you, I’m pretty sure the fish have stunted in that body of water now and there is very little feed. Probably should harvest some but I’m not sure. Thank you, appreciate it
Your hundred percent right that damn diesel motor on the Lobster Boat I swear to God that thing will send music to me sometimes that's when I like to get alone on an island by myself 2 or 3 days eat some muscles dig some clams have my Lobster yeah that's what I'm talkin about a little bit of Peace of Mind you got that right Joe
Love those jigging vids. Isn't it much more exciting when you get a decent fish jigging compared to trap? My favorite way to ice fish. Looks like yours too, especially when you can stay clammed up! AND I got Tall Trees, Tough Men on your recommendation. Great read! Thanks! Tight lines!
Awesome, It is so jammed packed with info its worth a revisit for me every once in awhile. Im enjoying his next book Spiked Boots. I absolutely love the jig stick and electronics game more than the traps. The traps are exciting when that flag pops up and it gives more opportunity but nothing like the jig stick for sure,
I applaud your efforts 👏.. How does this experience compare to fishing an FLW? Would you rather open water or hard ? You just seem to love this amount of work an effort way to much 😂🎣 beautiful muskee. The fish of. Thousand cast we call them 👍
The concept of them are great but they aren’t very durable. Wish they used a harder gear metal as mine shit easily. Otherwise they would be perfect. I don’t really recommend them until fixed but I can still get you the name next time by them.
No, I might have to hack them though and improve on em. It’s truly a great idea, just the wrong components. I still use them as you see from time to time.
I'll start by saying I've never caught a muskie. I've done a lot of research on the behavior of the fish of 10,000 cast though. It seems that when a muskie bites, the t bone the bait , then eat it. Almost like they end the bait before eating.
Hi Joe! I caught a 3.1 pound native salmon with a hookjaw on East Grand Lake last Friday. I love your videos. I hope you get to East or West Grand Lake this winter! Thanks. Jake!
That’s the one fish I haven’t caught , a musky , next year I’m going to come fish with you and hit it hard for musky , man I bet the fight is great , I’ve gotten a 25lb northern and was amazing , but I want to catch a musky
@@JoeHollandFishing Do you have people asking to fish with you , I’m from conneticut and I love to fish , next year love to fish with you and be cool to get liv and Chris from adventure too
If you get a 20lb propane cylinder and an available connector you can fill your one pound cans easily and much cheaper. I had a dozen before I got a 20. You must search YT for the safe way to fill the 1lb propane cans. It can be dangerous, but it’s easy. I will warn you, you must always shut the valve of the 20lb tank before you remove the 1lb you just charged or propane will be flying out and it becomes difficult with that going on to close the valve. Never ever forget. You could even use a black magic marker to write don’t forget to shut off tank, lol.
I really appreciate the hard work and clean content Jay Siemens puts out. True professional. Maybe someday we fish together. Would anyone want to see that episode?

Your on them today Joe. I am envious never having caught a musky. I sure would be saving a couple for the fry pan if it was me.
Thank you!
When eating now I’ve trained my kids to say “drive down me” when talking about their food. Lol
Hahaha awesome !

Your very welcome
Hey Joe i noticed the frost on the inside roof of the tent isn’t it great when it melts on everything loll i put a tarp over my roof what a difference no frost and it really helps keep the heat in 😉
My friends said the same thing, thanks I’ll try it next time
I have a 30 quart Engel bait cooler the latches are metal I have had very good luck with it. It will freeze but I can open fairly easily.
Another great video! Thanks
Awesome thanks for the info, I probably should have went with that one instead.
Excellent day slaying Maple tigers
Thank you
always enjoy your videos and I have the same eskimo suit as you it worked awesome in -39
Right on! Thank you
If your not moving your bait cooler tape a couple of hand warmers on top and it will keep it from freezing. Same thing with a food cooler.
Thank you
Another excellent video. Like to camping/fishing format. Curious what brand that jaw opener you used with the yellow handle was.
Thank you. I don't fully recommend that jaw spreader. The idea and concept of it are perfect, the materials used are not. I've put mine through a lot of big pike so the cogs won't really catch anymore. Wish they used a harder and better metal when making it.

I like em both . They are different both work great.
Nice Muskies ! i am curios if you leave your heater on high will it keep from freezing in your bob house, I have the Eskimo 3I and the smaller buddy heater and it stays very warm all nite long. Keep the vids coming
I think as long asit is warmer than say -20 it would keep it warm and dry if run on high, just a guess though.
You are a awesome fisherman love your videos Now I would like to know about your shop What is with all the Axes I have a few of old Snow and Neilie cant dogs for logs and a few axes
thanks, My hobby is restoring old axes and making handles. I also use axes in the field.
Great video sir
Thank you sir.
No day spent out on the ice is a bad day👍
Agreed thanks.
Just watching this episode. You wondered what lent to your catching 9 small muskies. If they are that consistently small and aggressive I'd think forage is an issue. Got any numbers on that?
Definitely little to no forage in the entire lake.

Why dont you use hole covers or thermal tip ups? Is there advantage to your tip ups?
I might try one in the next series.
Lots of snot rockets ! Still fun though 👍
I'm pretty well sure they are all that size in there. 29-36. There is no management plan and not much for forage left.
Wow....9 in one day is awesome! Really like those yellow handled jaw spreaders! What make are they? I'd like to buy some.
The concept of them are great but they aren’t very durable. Wish they used a harder gear metal as mine shit easily. Otherwise they would be perfect. I don’t really recommend them until fixed but I can still get you the name next time by them.
@@JoeHollandFishing Thanks for the review Joe. I was wondering if they were made for that purpose or a Maine hack ingenuity. 😀
No, I might have to hack them though and improve on em. It’s truly a great idea, just the wrong components. I still use them as you see from time to time.
Joe I wanted to ask you where you got your jaw spreaders what brand I do a lot of pike fishing they seem pretty handy thanks
I got the non mechanical ones at Sebago Bait, the mechanical ones at BPS but they wore out super quickly.
Let’s goooo!!
Thank you!
Would you say. That little buddy heater is a good flip over shanty heater
Yes depending on outside temps
Where did you get that jaw spreader with the handles? I've never seen one like that.
I don't recommend it yet. It needs some work, the metal didn't hold up, I still use it but I don't want to push it.
Hey Joe, got one of this strikemaster augers this year, was the battery already low or did the cold kill it?
And you answered that for me later in the video, thanks for that!
No It was full I drilled two days of holes, lot of holes through super thick ice, It was good.
I'll start by saying I've never caught a muskie. I've done a lot of research on the behavior of the fish of 10,000 cast though. It seems that when a muskie bites, the t bone the bait , then eat it. Almost like they end the bait before eating.
