Hey Kevin : When I saw how long the video was I almost passed the view. I'm glad I didn't. Really informative & interesting. As I get older I've changed my fishing habits . I only fish in the morning or early afternoon , because I feel I must eat it right away. It must be small enough to eat at one setting. Any fish over a pound I throw back. My first preference is Perch but I will eat Crappies or Rock bass. I just do not want to harm any fish I can't consume in a single meal. Maybe I put too high a value on their life but they are so beautiful I want to avoid harming them. Guess I sound like an old softy. Anyway, thanks for a great video. Brian 79
Awesome video! Your recent videos are awesome! Thank you so much! I thought I was an avid angler and couldn't believe how stupid I am! Ha,ha! I loved it. Your fishing partner had me rolling! Love it!
This video was really great and I appreciate you making this content. Would you be able to make another video expanding on identifying other fish found in fresh water in ontario and their variants such as whitefish, Cisco, carp, lampry, sauger and more. Thank you
Awesome video. Extremely helpful. Thanks Kevin! If you can do a wild plants video, and tree video in a similar format, I think the community would really appreciate it.
That was fun :) I got 19 on the test. I thought the last one was a splake by process of elimination. You deceived me with no splake on the test. Now I have no confidence and will amount to nothing in life. I forgot about that Kirkpatrick/Blue Lake loop....added to the list.
I usually add on one at the end of makes you second guess and challenges use...and I guess it worked. LOL You'll love that area - it's definitely "lost" though.
Hi Kevin. I enjoyed this video, which covers much of the Ontario angling experience and really helps with those tricky salmon. Maybe in a future video you could highlight some less familiar species, like sauger, pink salmon, longnose gar, even big minnow-like fish like fallfish, chub and mooneye. Also of note, there is a catchable population of Atlantic salmon in the St. Mary's River in the Soo. Rock bass are sunfish and are native to Ontario.
loved the video, very descriptive. The first picture confused me, the tail of the fish on the left side doesn't look like square so I thought it was Splake. , I got all other 19 correct. :)
@@TheHappyCamper I've never fished for trout before, so I got some of those wrong and the salmon ones I didn't even guess at because I got distracted during that part of the video. It was very useful though. I didn't have to guess for any of the ones I got right because you identified the relevant characteristics for each very well.
That was a terrific lesson. I want to take up fly fishing too. Thanks Kevin. BTW do you cut the barbs off the tackle. A cousin it a big fly fisher on the west coast and he said it's illegal to fish with barbed hooks. (Q, is it common to find 'black spot' larvae in theses species flesh? e.g. Atlantic salmon that live in the Great Lakes?) 17/20
thank you for sharing, KCHappyCamper, you have a bot sitting in your commentor list the bot is TEM it posted "awesome content bro" that bot is apart of the Mr Beast family of bots, Tem was named TheComicalCanadian then named "Tyler" and now named "Tem" because it keeps getting reported to youtube and removed from commentor lists.
if you yourself remove "Tem" you can rid it from your videos on a more permanant basis while I can only report it as spam. It will be removed short term but the bot's human controller will only have it come right back to your videos
@@TheHappyCamper the bots can and have hacked channels, I just booted the bot for you and will admit any time I see bot on a commentor list I boot them so rest assure I'll point out this bot or that bot to you if I see them hang around your video comments 🍺
Very educational thank you

Best fish ID video I have watched. Thank you so much Kevin. Now let's talk about that fat bass you had wow what a beauty

@@TheHappyCamper You tricky devil. Sounds perfect to me!
Hey Kevin,
How about a video on your fishing gear? What you take with you on canoe trips. Walleye/bass trips vs. trout? Keep up the content!
Good idea. I'll work on that one.
Another great video Kevin, thanks. Have you done one on Ontario fishing regulations? If not, that would be very useful too.

Thanks. I'd like to do a minnow ID. I didn't know rock bass were native. cool. I'm learning lots by doing this.
@@TheHappyCamper The minnow ID would be great. I know all the catchable species in Ontario, but the minnows are all just minnows to me.
18/20. Got the first two mixed up. These are great videos! It's nice to learn how to more properly identify the different fish species.
loved the video, very descriptive.
The first picture confused me, the tail of the fish on the left side doesn't look like square so I thought it was Splake. , I got all other 19 correct. :)
Glad you enjoyed it.
this is my favorite fishing video on youtube
A terrific ID video. 14/20.
My thanks,
Martin
Great. Which ones did you get wrong Martin?

I thought 20 was a splake
Another education film brought to you by Kevin Callan!
those are great looking fish
Not to forgot the holy grail of all trout. The Aurora trout. :)
Ya, I should have put that on too. Have you ever caught one?
@@TheHappyCamper Definitely a bucket list fish for sure. Perhaps one day I could be so lucky as to catch one.
learnt a lot on this ..however we only got 17/20
Thank you!!
finally i know the origin of the word "badonkadonk"
I love these videos Kevin, but pls turn up the volume
I totally agree. I need a better mic.
@@TheHappyCamper still found the video very helpful but wanted to let you know
Fish calls?
👍👍👍👍👍
They all just look like the same fish to me😂

Thanks. Just removed him from a bunch of my videos.
@@TheHappyCamper(the human controller behind it can't get around your PC cookies now that is good 👍
You left out bowfin
if you yourself remove "Tem" you can rid it from your videos on a more permanant basis while I can only report it as spam. It will be removed short term but the bot's human controller will only have it come right back to your videos
This is all new to me - so "Tem" is spam that feeds of my numbers?
@@TheHappyCamper yes it draws subscribers off you and subscribers off them but as a bot it gathers personal info from the internal pc files
