Here’s another nature identification class with the Happy Camper. This time it’s fish found (and caught) in Ontario, Canada. And yes, Kevin is an avid angler. Good luck on the quiz – and warning, this class is a bit longer than the others. Kevin really likes fish.

finally i know the origin of the word "badonkadonk"
thank you for sharing, KCHappyCamper, you have a bot sitting in your commentor list the bot is TEM it posted "awesome content bro" that bot is apart of the Mr Beast family of bots, Tem was named TheComicalCanadian then named "Tyler" and now named "Tem" because it keeps getting reported to youtube and removed from commentor lists.
if you yourself remove "Tem" you can rid it from your videos on a more permanant basis while I can only report it as spam. It will be removed short term but the bot's human controller will only have it come right back to your videos
those are great looking fish
I love these videos Kevin, but pls turn up the volume
Not to forgot the holy grail of all trout. The Aurora trout. 🙂
That was fun 🙂 I got 19 on the test. I thought the last one was a splake by process of elimination. You deceived me with no splake on the test. Now I have no confidence and will amount to nothing in life.
I forgot about that Kirkpatrick/Blue Lake loop….added to the list.
A terrific ID video. 14/20.
My thanks,
Martin
Fish calls?
Hi Kevin
Great informative video. Thanks.
18/20. Got the first two mixed up. These are great videos! It's nice to learn how to more properly identify the different fish species.
Hi Kevin. I enjoyed this video, which covers much of the Ontario angling experience and really helps with those tricky salmon. Maybe in a future video you could highlight some less familiar species, like sauger, pink salmon, longnose gar, even big minnow-like fish like fallfish, chub and mooneye. Also of note, there is a catchable population of Atlantic salmon in the St. Mary's River in the Soo. Rock bass are sunfish and are native to Ontario.
Hey Kevin,
How about a video on your fishing gear? What you take with you on canoe trips. Walleye/bass trips vs. trout? Keep up the content!
Awesome video. Extremely helpful. Thanks Kevin! If you can do a wild plants video, and tree video in a similar format, I think the community would really appreciate it.
Another education film brought to you by Kevin Callan!
Best fish ID video I have watched. Thank you so much Kevin. Now let's talk about that fat bass you had wow what a beauty
Hey Kevin : When I saw how long the video was I almost passed the view. I'm glad I didn't. Really informative & interesting. As I get older I've changed my fishing habits . I only fish in the morning or early afternoon , because I feel I must eat it right away. It must be small enough to eat at one setting. Any fish over a pound I throw back. My first preference is Perch but I will eat Crappies or Rock bass. I just do not want to harm any fish I can't consume in a single meal. Maybe I put too high a value on their life but they are so beautiful I want to avoid harming them. Guess I sound like an old softy. Anyway, thanks for a great video. Brian 79
I thought 20 was a splake
Awesome video! Your recent videos are awesome! Thank you so much! I thought I was an avid angler and couldn't believe how stupid I am! Ha,ha! I loved it. Your fishing partner had me rolling! Love it!
Thank you!!
learnt a lot on this ..however we only got 17/20
That was a terrific lesson. I want to take up fly fishing too. Thanks Kevin. BTW do you cut the barbs off the tackle. A cousin it a big fly fisher on the west coast and he said it's illegal to fish with barbed hooks. (Q, is it common to find 'black spot' larvae in theses species flesh? e.g. Atlantic salmon that live in the Great Lakes?) 17/20
this is my favorite fishing video on youtube
loved the video, very descriptive.
The first picture confused me, the tail of the fish on the left side doesn't look like square so I thought it was Splake. , I got all other 19 correct. 🙂
Another great video Kevin, thanks. Have you done one on Ontario fishing regulations? If not, that would be very useful too.
👍👍👍👍👍
Very educational thank you
