Great memories of walleye fishing on the Columbia below the John Day Dam back when the limit was five over 18 one of which could be over 24. Best eating white meat fresh water fish in the world. Then my fishing partner died and I got old.

May I ask what size bottom walker, size leader and do you use fluorocarbon or mono for leader? Excellent video! My son and I got three today above where you guys filmed this video.

Nice fishing, thanks for sharing videos. Where do you guys fish?

also. whats your take on the sauger / walleye mix ? i fish the columbia and snake. i assume all i catch are walleye. but i might be wrong.

I fished for walleye the past several days around Boardman and Irrigon Oregon. The bite was fairly slow. Do you find the walleye bite to come and go this time of year on the Columbia or is it normally fairly good?

Awesome video guys! Do you bleed out your fish before putting them in the cooler?

Yes, I will bleed the fish out in the live-well before putting it in the cooler. If you don’t bleed the fish you will have blood spots on some of the meat.

Love your videos., after many years of bank fishing I am now able to afford a boat and want to get into walleye fishing on it., I will try my hardest to find some good spots for it on the Columbia.. what rod holders are those on your boat .?

Recently I caught an 18” walleye that spat up a 9” salmon smolt. There are mixed opinions about releasing walleye back as they do eat a lot of salmon smolts. Every once in a while I’ll throw back a female or two…

Nice, but you shojld let the bigger ones go to breed. That way your kids will end of fishing in the future.
