Craziest Underwater Footage I've Ever Captured (Ice Fishing For Pike)

What a wild few days ice fishing in Northern Manitoba. Big Northern Pike were the goal at Cormorant Lake, we got that and a LOT more excitement along the way. I still can't believe what we captured on the underwater camera. Thanks for watching!

    🤣. I am curious how the otter got out there to his bait. It must have seen an auger 🕳 and used it to explore. I typically punch a tennis court size area of holes 10 ft apart until I set my shack up

    This brought back some memories. My father and I spent a lot of time on lake Cormorant when the only way to get there was to fly in back in the early '60s. (I'm 76). There was a small bunch of cabins that passed for a fishing camp on one of the islands then. You have to be prepared for anything when your only ride home waves goodby and tells you he'll see you in a week. I'm not sure how big the pike got back then, but a 50-inch muskie would have been pretty standard. The keeper limit minimum was 36 inches.

    In searching Amazon, I found the camera you use as well as another one which had a quad camera lens. Each lens would show what direction that lens is facing. It was about $500 more than the camera you were using. Do you think that upgrade would be worthwhile or is just turning the single lens like you have around good enough? Thank you so much for your time.
