Love the feeling of catching a new species it’s amazing

Congratulations on the Walleye. I've fished for them most my life. They are so fun to catch and delicious to eat. Thanks for sharing and take care. ✌️

I'm 64 and the Walleye have always been up there. There's more there now than years past.

Walleye are great fish to catch. We go to Lake Erie and fill the cooler with them. Thanks for sharing this video with us, Kurt. Stay Safe and Healthy

Great job Kurt! Walleye are very good eating. A tip for you in the future. If your getting hung up and snagged in the rocks too often, step down one size in your jig weight. It will take a little longer to fall, but it will hang up a lot less. Late fall to early winter is the time for big eyes! They tend to be shallow and they have the feedbag on. Most of my biggest walleyes have come in that time period. Congrats again, and thanks for sharing! God bless and be safe!

Nice walleye! Persistence pays off.

Best eating freshwater fish on the continent. Caught these from Michigan to Texas and from Arizona to a frozen over reservoir in Montana in February. Our favorite fish to deep fat fry, smoke or saute in butter. Can not go wrong. Filet them before rigor mortis sets in, leave the skin on (skin comes off easily later on before you cook) and throw the filets in a ziplock on ice. It's like eating Alaskan cod. Biggest I ever saw came out of Fort Peck Reservoir on the Missouri river in Montana. 15.4 lbs and 31 inches long. I think the world record is right at 25 lbs in Tennessee in the 60s. Would need a bigger cooler.

There's a local bait shop close to there, and there used to be a place there that used to sell some fishing stuff years ago.

My first Eye was from the Shenandoah River. I didn't even know they were in the river. It was a 25.25" 6lb 5oz Citation. I've sight fished for them. They seem to like Zman Hula Stick on a Zman Enrolls micro jig, both in Green Pumpkin.You should definitely look into getting a Torqeedo motor for your kayak.

There is a place that I have fished for 10 years now and I caught the first trout out of there this year.

Very cool spot , next time cut the gills and it will be a much cleaner filler job & the meat will look a lot more “white” . You can just slow roll that setup as long as you keep it off bottom , snapping it will also work great as you see 👍

Very nice!!

Awesome job Kurt!! Cut the cheek meat out!! Taste like a scallop!! 👊🏻

@@MentalHealthDay82 they are if you can hook them up. The problem is that the lake is a reservoir. Every winter it gets near empty. They filled back up again from snow melt of Lake Tahoe and the Carson river. That being said one year the fishing will be fantastic to where the next will be terrible.

Believe it or not walleye are members of the perch family, and walleye love eating lil yellow perch.

Very cool

I would kill to fish off of the catwalks again. My grandfather and I would fish often, and my father and I have fished there as well. The lower catwalk was the best place to fish and the catfish there were massive. Unfortunately the carp were massive as well, nasty ol’ trash fish, but there was always a group of guys speaking Chinese or African that would happily use their net to pull those disgusting fish up, and they were more than welcome to them! The ‘Fisherman’s Wharf’ they built sucks, pure and simple. It’s too small and it’s not one of the catwalks, and there’s not many big cats near the wharf as they tend to stay around the dam’s gates. Closing the catwalks also destroyed the fishing industry at the Dam; all of the bait shops that had been there long before I was even born in 78 all went out of business shortly after Delmarva closed the catwalks. My dad worked for the federal government for thirty years and he read a report that the catwalks were closed not too long after 9/11 when security chased two Arabic guys from the dam, and they supposedly had enough c4 to turn the largest dam this side of the Mississippi into Swiss cheese. I don’t know for sure if that is what happened, but I’ve heard that story from others as well. At any rate, I want my catwalks opened back up for fishing. If they wanted to charge people for it that would be fine with me - I’d pay to fish there and it would keep people who aren’t serious anglers from being up on the dam.
