That was a great video guys! Loved it. Lived Cascade through you guys this year.
They sure are awesome fish! Crazy I'm not going back, but guess I got to give it a break this year. The last four years have been fun! Perch eyes are great bait! Fish after fish!
Wow what a world class fishery Jason. I too am a huge fan of chubby darters. Do you ever use the Fastach clips off the bottom to help hold baits better. Tnx again for the killer video brother
I take it there's a 2 lb limit on that Lake they have to be bigger than 2 lb cuz I'd really like Lake Champlain in Vermont where I live to do that we have a lot of parents but they're very very small because people over fish them and there's really no size limit to him here so it's too bad is a lot of jerks
Try about a 1-foot jig maybe one to two foot Jag I guarantee you'll catch perch way faster you're vibrating it too fast and too shallow you're only doing about a 1 inch lift and drop do a 1/2 footer and then a couple 3 to 4 in and then another one to two football and then another 3 to 4 inch pull let it set a second and repeat you'll do better I guarantee it
I talked to Idaho fish n game today it is ILLEGAL to use any game fish for bait …perch is a game fish …perch eyes are illegal…READ THE PROCLAMATION FOLKS !!! CALL THE IDFG !!!
I was just talking to a guide in SD who said throwing back perch that were caught in 25 to 35 feet of water was irresponsible bc their bladders basically exploded. Is that true?
Great job guys! Was great to see you out there, a very good job of representing what Cascade is all about…including what are often very challenging conditions! Always worth it tho.
Thanks for sharing Sir. That slush is a bear! Last year we had the same problem with it. I have a quick question for you please. Did you notice that the fish were primarily feeding on bloodworms or minnows this season? Last year they spit worms and the year before were minnows. Thanks again!

Awesome scenery, great to see the JMO we normally don't get to see! Terrific job by your videography team as well. Thanks!

I live in Donnelly and cascade lake is amazing ice fishing but I didn't know it was known about a few states over
What's the limit on perch there?

I'm 99% certain that there's world record perch in Okanagan Lake, BC. I've caught several over 3lb.
Wow!!! You know your onto something special when a perch won't go down a 6 inch hole.
Tanker Perch! Holy moly!
What’s the best time to go for these perch? Also is the lake drivable for trucks?
what rods are you using?

Y'all releasing those fish??? It's a CRAZY world.
I'm in the process of planning my trip there for next year! Cannot wait! Great video Jason!
Wow those are some Jumbos! Excellent video!
Do you ever keep perch that are in the 1 1/2 pound range or bigger or do you always release them? If you do keep them does that hurt the population?
Was looking forward to this episode – looks wild! It’s now on my list for next ice season. 🙌
How do you pick the spot where to fish?
awesome job, I really enjoyed watching

Awesome! What was the biggest one you caught?
Where on the lake were you?

How long did it take to get unstuck? Still worth it I'm sure. Pure joy laugh.
Good to see that child like laugh again Jason! I enjoy seeing you light up like that as thats what its all about!
Super video, looks like a great time fishing! I noticed you were using a swivel and was wondering how and why to do that. Thank you and happy fishing!
I have been wanting to get out here so bad for so long!!!!! I just need a sled now and I am going the next chance I get!!!!
Jason another awesome video,you are a true professional.Thank you from the (605) state.
Awesome video, tuff season here in Michigan, sketchy ice has really limited our opportunities.
