Ice Fishing with the Next Generation

Show Date: January 17, 2026

Location: Waukesha County, Wisconsin

This week, we’re back on the ice for some classic ice fishing fun, surrounded by a great group of kids and adults enjoying a beautiful winter day outdoors. We’re setting Beaver Dam tip-ups for northern pike while staying busy hole-hopping with jig sticks in search of cooperative bluegills.

Hosting the show are Matty B and his son Jacob, along with Chris MacGillis and his son Owen, and together we’ve got an energetic crew that keeps the day moving. Between sprinting for popping flags and settling in to jig, there’s never a dull moment.

The highlight of the day is watching the kids experience the excitement of ice fishing — from their first flag to landing fish on their own. Running tip-ups, jigging in between, and sharing laughs on the ice makes for an exhilarating (and exhausting) day that reminds us why we love this sport so much.
