I tried to go fishing but it was too cold, even for Realistic Fishing. I thought I would brave the cold and head to the park to catch some cold water fish. I was wrong. It was so cold I didn’t even get one bite! Typically I could catch a bluegill or a bass, but on this winter day, there was nothing. I tried by the boat launch and also by the log. I end up skunked and do a lure unboxing instead. I picked up some lures at Academy Sports, but even that wasn’t great. It is supposed to snow soon, so the fishing won’t get any better.

I tried…
Im about to go ice fishing, so it’s much colder here
😂that's not that cold, stay out there be persistent, your body will get used to it and you will catch fish
I went the other day. I couldn't feel my index finger. I went and sat in truck for a few minutes and then went back and fixed. I repeated that cycle for most of the day. I only caught one fish…
Finally get to watch a video. Awesome fishing effort. Thumbs up!
It's winter.. besides,who down there fishes in down filled parkas and snow pants in mukluks and mittens?? Trout at the river might bite but… still miserable exercise unless they bite like gangbusters and are extra lage and really show off with fights and beautiful colors..take care and be realistic in the miserable moments too.. can tie flies and fish them with spinning gear and split shot should you feel like that challenge is worth your efforts.. thanks for doing the show with honest and realism missing elsewhere sir..
Always appreciate your persistence Alex. KIR
Man I remember when you just had a few hundred subscribers. Thats so cool you’ve come so far man! I love the videos.
It’s been so cold in North Carolina I’m watching this Friday night and it’s snowing here also! I still love watching when you don’t catch because you’re great on commentary!! Keeps us entertained! Keep it Realistic!.
I feel you it's been 20° here in New York without the wind chill
Catch lures when the fish don’t bite? Yeah of course!😂
Back in the late Fifties or early Sixties, my dad tried to fish in a nearby river when the air-temperature was SEVENTEEN DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. He said that he had to stop because the DROPS of water from the river were FREEZING on the FISHING-LINE, and gumming-up his REEL. 😁
You need to come out to California and trout fish.
I know what its like to be in cold weather.
I'm the same way. Every thing here in Ohio is iced over. Time to sit inside bored watching fishing channels and buying more baits/lures that I probably don't need! 😂 It helps get through fishing withdrawals.
The fish were out a foot farther than you could cast into the wind!
Least your beer will stay cold will fishing
here in central N.C. it's beenhigh of 42 and low of 23 over night. i won't go fishing until it's above 55 .and this wind is brutal !
I have not been fishing for a little bit; we had confirmed bird flu and dead geese in the local waterways and I don't want to inadvertently bring any of that home to get my chickens sick. Better luck next time!
17 here in NH. At least yours is still liquid
I'm sure you'd rather be catching fish, but I do appreciate that you are still willing to post a video of a "Not So Great Day" It just shows you are Real, just like the channel says. Cool lure grab at Academy. Thanks as always for the content. KiR!!!
Reminds of the time I went trout fishing with my dad and uncle in 19 degree weather with the wind coming down the cliffs where we were at lol. I could watch the ice form on the reel
I'm snowed in, but trying to clean and sort all my fishing stuff. I'm attempting to keep it realistic for sure! Stay safe and warm!
the w wfish went out for lunch and let it snow snow snow ho ho ho happy new yearr
Definitely too cold Alex! Great job salvaging the video with some nice baits! Thank you sir!
Congrats on 100k!
Time to fire up the Ataris and Nintendos again, KIR!
Tough day out there Alex, but at least you tried. It's been so windy here in VA it's miserable to go outside let alone on the water.
Be careful during your snowstorm. That black bass may keep you warmer. I know once my rod eyes start getting icy it time for me clean and re-organize. Hope your family and you stay warm!
It's been a few years, but i used to go out in winter here in South Dakota. Almost always some wind here, especially along the river. Gets frickin' cold! But i'd be so amped to be fishing that i'd stay out there for hours, sometimes into the night. I found that the rubber dipped cotton gloves were ok but the best are neoprene ice fishing gloves. Could reach into the ice cold water and not even feel it! Only problem is they don't last all that long (the neoprene ones) due to holes from hooks. I once started around 10am and caught nothing until about 4pm, right when the blue sky shifted just slightly to that polarized tone. I caught 5 Northern Pike in quick succession, but after about a total of 30min the color faded to dusky twilight and the bite ended. Hey, i might've froze my arse but i wouldn't have starved! Keep It Realistic!!!
winter is the best time to fish cuz you don't have to deal with dumbass in Karen Ppl
We appreciate the grind!! KIR!
LOL I always say I froze my ass off but it seems to come back home with me😊
I know I'm so sad it's a frozen tundra here and we got more snow coming Friday I watch somebody else fishing on a beautiful lake and I was like crying keep it realistic Alex we'll keep looking for you
I live in middle tn and I actually caught a couple yesterday. Cold as hell but I know the lake will freeze up at some point!
We got upgraded to winter storm warning just half an hour ago.. Maybe it will get me out of work for a day! I'm planning to grill out for my birthday this weekend in the snow! Everyone in the path of this storm better stock up on beer before everything shuts down!
No way would I get out there.
Damn man. You a real one for this one…. That just looks cold AF!!
Crazy winds here to! Stay warm and KIR!
I took a shot at the stocked rainbows here in Texas in the cold and caught my first fish of the year. 29° degrees is cold, but I'd still give it a go for the rainbows, stay warm Alex! And yes go for trout, the bass and panfish can wait!👍
I love that game i used to play it all the time when i was younger
Over here at the moment we are at -3°C which is about 26°F but when you love to go fishing you still have a go in all weather. This is another realistic thng about being born with the fishing gene…..you just have to go. KIR
I got skunked last week and decided to buy more lures. Nice to know I’m in good company.
Give a thought to some rubber boot/hip waders , i fish i fair number of public pond like this and i often find that just being able to get a few feet from the bank can really open up some casting opportunities and catch some fish that the last person couldn't quite get to.
Snow for me. They saying 9 to 12 inch
I just bought a Zippo hand warmer so I can keep fishing….the walleye and hybrids here in Missouri will keep biting unless we get sub-zero temps. And I agree…wet gloves suck. Keep it realistic!
