I have a Fenwick 27 inch ice fishing rod with a Plueger Trion reel that I have used to catch tiny fish. I need to get it out and fish with it again. I am in Georgia so I don't see ice often but it is a fun set up to fight small pan fish.
Fundevogel I have a small dock running I bought a year ago it like 3 foot. I don’t care for the reel but I have caught fish big and small. Amazing rods.
Do you use any weight with this ? I bought one of these little rods long time ago. Wally World Special think it was... But not bad little outfit for the 12--15 dollars I give for it.... Really enjoy watching you out there...
Great video, and absolutely love the scripture verse. I'm in a state of shock, upon learning of the apparent Suicide of a man that was a TH-cam star. He had the Talking Kitty videos, and did rather well with them. Sadly, he wasn't a Christian, and he just, within the past little bit, committed Suicide via a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He may have had a good income (I'm not actually sure of his financial status), but he didn't have the one who gives Salvation, Peace, Joy, and Righteousness to ALL who turn to him in Faith and Repentance of our sins. That one, as you and I know, is Jesus Christ, the ONLY hope that we have! That really got my attention! May God help me to live the way that I need to! I'd been slipping up, but have asked God's forgiveness, and I intend on living for Jesus, and making Heaven my home!
I never ice fished but when I used to play hockey I would see guys catching an amazing amount of fish both jigging and with tip ups. Super fun to watch.
Great perch fishing video, John! Nice trout too. I’ve been praying that God would bless you and your channel as you share the passion for His creation and point people to Christ! As I shared before... you were the inspiration why I started my channel with the same goal! 🎣👍
Your next challenge would be to get a Ronco (formerly Popeil's) Pocket fisherman and show us what you can do with that. (lol) Great day with the ice fishing rod though.
John my favorite way of fishing is my Shakespeare 1 piece 4 and 1/2 foot micro-spin rod with my Pflueger president reel 6 lb test I use this set up all the time I love the fight on the ultralight rod.
As you've seen we've got some winter spots where we get some absolute football sized perch but numbers like that aren't really common in most places around here. I'd LOVE to have a day there and I'd cook you up some fish. Quite the opposite I enjoy keeping a few for a meal. You'd love our dedicated panfish/ultralight gear and we catch some really big fish on it.
Awesome video. You are my faverite you tube channel by far. Watching your videos have had me creek fishing as much as i can this winter. Keep up the great work.
Yea, seems yer having just too much fun John ! That little ice set up is going great guns on those " WOW " yellow perch. I love yellow perch , tho I never take more than two /three for dinner. Leave enough to keep making more. Tho I've seen some people keep Way more than they would need. Too bad. Good show mate , Tom Daytona Beach, FL.
I've never been ice fishing in my life but now I want an Ice fishing spinner - brilliant. Imagine how that short rod would provide some freedom on a creek where the cover on the banks make casting difficult with longer rods
waterfall looked nice, sure put oxygen in the water. I have a 4 foot 8 inch rod I use around docks with 4lb test. makes it easier to cast in tight spots for me. and it is fun to get big ones on. I caught a 6lb carp on it with a crappie jig the other day, what a fight.
That small bait looked like a Nikko caddisfly. They are like miniature hellgrammites for me......catch everything. Great baits. Another nice video. Enjoyed watching it.
so they were nice perch,, do you ever keep any to cook, perch is a good eating fish,, fillet, back, with side of grits, and fried pot. and cole slaw,, maybe a couple of hush puppies,, truly enjoy your shows,,
Hey John, I really enjoyed watching this video. It's a new wrinkle in your fishing norms that looked like it was so much fun. Just out of curiosity, I'd love to see how this little rod does in very overgrown places, like that creek up by your sister's house that has a that deep pool there at the highway and then goes really dense further down the creek you go. Would love to see if that little rod makes the difference in tight places like that. Please consider doing a video with that rod the next time you go visit her. :) Great PB Perch by the way....way to go.
I bought a Dock Demon rod and reel at Ollies. Ikeep it behind the seat of my truck just for when the mood hits me. Those little poles are a lot of fun. Ive caught a 1 pound bass on it and it was a blast. Sometimes I'll go fishing and thats all I'll take with me just for the fun of it.
I always have a zebco dock demon on my kayak when I am out. I carry other rods but is is a blast to catch them on that dock demon. Caught a couple huge small mouth drum on it and it was a blast!
Laughing hard at you using the ice fishing rig. Now you know why we have so much fun ice fishing here in the Northeast! Imagine getting a largemouth or a chain pickerel on one of those rigs and then having to bring it in oh so gentle through a 6" diameter hole. Now that is fun! Excellent verse at the end, too!
Years ago, I fished with a little Zebco outfit that had the reel built into the rod. I used it because it was small enough not to get tangled up in stuff growing along the shore of the lake I lived on. I caught the biggest fish (a ten pound plus carp) I’d ever caught on that little rig and must have fought that fish for 30 minutes to bring it in. That, my friend, was fishing fun, so I can understand why you tried that rod. Keep ‘me coming!
Creek Fishing Adventures , yes, that was a lot of fish for my little Zebco Junior. It was only 50” long and had 4lb mono on it! Really fun way to fish.
I live in Western New York and have ice fishes for years. I've never seen an ice fishing rig casted and catching. This is going to be my latest ultra light open water action!
Shakespeare makes a 3' Ugly Stik spinning combo, the Dock Runner, for $15 at Walmart. Great fun walking the docks at night vertical jigging for whatever bites. Never used it riverside though! LOL
What a fun day. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I recently changed jobs and don't have much time to get out anymore. Your videos are a great get away. God bless.
I love how gentle your release of the Rainbow Trout was. I do not like lifting fish I don't intend to keep but that is my thing I don't put it on anyone else, just wanted to pass on the appreciation for the trout release.
Man I have never been anywhere that had many yellow perch in it but everyone I ever caught was 12-13 inches just not more than two in one day. But plenty of other fish
I caught a bunch of those a couple of weeks ago when my wife and I went to Eufaula, Alabama to fish. But, I didn't know they grew to be big like the one you caught!! Wow!! May God continue to bless you brother!!!
Another great video! Congrats on your PB perch!
That looked like a very fun day of fishing ....God bless and Go Kats!!!!!
thanks again for the heads up on Hellgramites

Very nice!! Good looking perch. Didn't know you had them there!
That's the biggest perch I have ever seen.. Congrats

🤣 John " Nice lil fish...Ooo .
John Drops fish
John 🤯 where it go.?
Me.."Ooo "🙈 that rock !
Hi John.. I can see that you are much happier doing full-time youtuber. Congrats.. Do things that makes your life happy. Love yaa
7:54. That Yellow Perch almost looks like a mini walleye except for the colors. It is a TOAD!
Now that’s life right there. You’re living the dream.
I agree!
Great video!
I really like your videos. Your Bible verses make it even better.
Just one more...LOL I say that a hundred times!
Bro. You need to do catch and cook from this spot..
Fun! Your right. I use to have a Eagle 🦅 claw with a Shakespeare reel about 4ft. It was a perfect light combo.
John. You need to post an Amazon link for that rod/reel setup. Great video.
I could look at that scenery all day.
Good to see you in the video again (Creek bear)..😉.. always a pleasure to watch and hear you fish bud!😀
Do you use any weight with this ? I bought one of these little rods long time ago. Wally World Special think it was... But not bad little outfit for the 12--15 dollars I give for it.... Really enjoy watching you out there...

Would you to show the knot and or knots you use to tie your fluro or mono to your braid ? Thanks
That pb perch was a beast!
Great perch fishing video, John! Nice trout too. I’ve been praying that God would bless you and your channel as you share the passion for His creation and point people to Christ! As I shared before... you were the inspiration why I started my channel with the same goal! 🎣👍
Man you did that thing with that little bitty rod! Great video! Keep on doing your thing man!
Your next challenge would be to get a Ronco (formerly Popeil's) Pocket fisherman and show us what you can do with that. (lol) Great day with the ice fishing rod though.

This was a good video and a fun challenge. I would have loved to seen a weight on that jumbo perch you caught!

Cold snap up here in the northeast..fishing has been terrible but it's good to see ur catching nice ones 👍
I know you have a net, I saw it in the video. You need to learn to use it bro.
Good video
I actually have a little fishing rod similar to that i keep for the kids to use we live on the catawba river mt holly n c
That small bait looked like a Nikko caddisfly. They are like miniature hellgrammites for me......catch everything. Great baits.
Another nice video. Enjoyed watching it.

🤜💥🤛
Its hard not to enjoy fishing so this will stick forever
Do some catch n cook videos man them perch are delicious
Came from School tired and after watching this I wanna fish, nice Content brother
Dude you gotta let me know when your back in Tennessee!! That's where I am man!! I want to fish with you.
Hope you don't mind I shared this on my Facebook page pleasure island 2
How deep are you fishing?
The water is only 4 to 5 ft deep here. The fish seemed to be on the bottom coming up out of the rocks
Lol 👍 I’ve got to try that
Those perch were stacked in there. Nice fat PB. I love the Psalms.
yes sir, thanks
If that spot was here in Michigan it would be elbow to elbow with fishermen.
its a good thing this is way out of the way of any big town
Hi do you every eat the fish catch when your not filming.
No not really
My dad does heating and air too
thats great, i really liked doing that
so they were nice perch,, do you ever keep any to cook, perch is a good eating fish,, fillet, back, with side of grits, and fried pot. and cole slaw,, maybe a couple of hush puppies,, truly enjoy your shows,,
thanks, i dont like cooking much

What are you using to fish with to catch (bate wise).
Trout magnet hook with a Nikko caddisfly
That jumbo perch sure was a nice one! Congrats!
Catching nice size panfish with an ice rod is so much fun.
Yes it is
I bought a Dock Demon rod and reel at Ollies. Ikeep it behind the seat of my truck just for when the mood hits me. Those little poles are a lot of fun. Ive caught a 1 pound bass on it and it was a blast. Sometimes I'll go fishing and thats all I'll take with me just for the fun of it.
its seems so much more fun when your just messing around and still catch fish
I always have a zebco dock demon on my kayak when I am out. I carry other rods but is is a blast to catch them on that dock demon. Caught a couple huge small mouth drum on it and it was a blast!
That’s fun

thats sounds like a blast, i will have to go north and try it sometime
That little rod would be nice when I'm fishing on my kyak.
Great Job fishing always enjoy watching you cating fish. I wish Texas has some rivers like that.
yes, we have some nice waters around here in tn
Some of the prettiest perch I've ever seen. Ours out of Lake Erie look like garbage compared to those. 🎥🎣👍
there must be a ton of food coming out of the spillway there

God has put you where he wants you to be , you have the Gift of fishing keep having fun enjoy each day( Doug in Ga ) be blessed kind Sir
Nice TARP!
yes now i just need to remember to send it in
Great job again, John. Last trip to Tumbling creek, I used a Shakespeare Dockrunner and had a blast!
oh thats fun, i need to hit up there again in my kayak, look for that new state record
I live in Western New York and have ice fishes for years. I've never seen an ice fishing rig casted and catching. This is going to be my latest ultra light open water action!
haha, it was terrible at casting
Those perch are so good eating. I tried most all of the coatings but I went back to saltine crackers. Deep fry them in grape seed oil or avocado oil
Walter Thompson that’s how my grandma & Mom do it, Always saltines!!
Shakespeare makes a 3' Ugly Stik spinning combo, the Dock Runner, for $15 at Walmart. Great fun walking the docks at night vertical jigging for whatever bites. Never used it riverside though! LOL
Good heads up there, thanks!
Yay another upload, love your faith
Dude I’ve been wanting one of those ice rods lol where did you get it and how much was it? Also that perch was a sho nuff pig! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
i came across in somehow on amazon, it was like $37
I’m going to get an ice rod but for ICE fishing
got one I use in some of the streams we have here that are heavy with brush !
i bet them oscars and peacock bass down in florida would have been fun on the ice fishing rod.
haha, i would have never got them in
He shaking that pole
These fish were like 15 feet away from you 😂
i know, i was wondering how many fish were right in front of me
Do you have to posse a trout license if you don’t keep any trout.
You only need a trout license when fishing in designated trout waters. Even if you toss them back.
i think so, but not totally sure
I’ve got to put one of those ice fishing combos in my BOB.
What a fun day. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I recently changed jobs and don't have much time to get out anymore. Your videos are a great get away.
God bless.
You slayed that area with that ice rod. Your def a pro with ultra lights. Good luck in your next adventure.👍🏽
Amen .. Keep the scriptures coming bro. As long as you're eating the WORD.
Shalom from NJ brother.
Jerking those perch like a beast. That's on my bucket list. Another great video
That's a cool little rod and reel combo!! Another great video!!
Your living the dream my friend. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful spot nice fish🙄😍👀
Interesting rod. They sell a yard (3ft) size rod here and suspect they use for panfish or bait. Nice perch.
I love how gentle your release of the Rainbow Trout was. I do not like lifting fish I don't intend to keep but that is my thing I don't put it on anyone else, just wanted to pass on the appreciation for the trout release.
Man I have never been anywhere that had many yellow perch in it but everyone I ever caught was 12-13 inches just not more than two in one day. But plenty of other fish
I don't know how you can tell what kind of fish you have before you reel it in! LOL I can never tell until I have it reeled in!
Micro fishing is a blast ... super fun. Thanks for sharing :-)
This trip looked like an absolute blast! Hopefully that big perch makes its way back out into the water. Great video!
Congrats on the new PB Perch , beauty!
I caught a bunch of those a couple of weeks ago when my wife and I went to Eufaula, Alabama to fish. But, I didn't know they grew to be big like the one you caught!! Wow!! May God continue to bless you brother!!!
