Ice fishing in brutal cold isn’t always fun… but sometimes it’s worth it. 🥶🎣

Brian, Dustin and I headed out in absolutely bitter cold conditions to see if we could still find some fish. It wasn’t an ice report — just a real-world fishing trip in tough weather. Despite frozen faces and numb toes, we managed to get into some white bass and perch and put together a solid day on the ice.

In this video you’ll see:
• What fishing is really like in extreme cold
• White bass and perch action
• The reality of tough winter conditions
• Why ice fishermen are a little bit crazy
