As a local Pittsburgh guy. I’ve found your videos very informative. I’ve been fishing the rivers dams and creek mouths for years. You just confirmed that if you put in the work and time to employ crankbaits at night it pays off. Great videos. Maybe I’ll run into you somewhere one night..

I’m glad to hear that! Yes night fishing the rivers is definitely a move; especially in fall. Maybe you will!

Truly respect the catch & release, nice to see!

Love this vid! Yes, huge baits sometimes equals huge fish. And also fishing at night with huge baits can be the ticket! This looked like a perfect storm of time of year, right baits and right area. Well done!

Thanks for the video😎 You made my day and gave me a lot of hope for this years shore fishing for walleye in Denver Co. This is my 2nd year of conversion to all artificial lures, and strickly walleye fishing from shore. I have only caught 1-10 in walleye from shore in the last 2yrs at Cherry Creek Resavoir, using a 2.5 in charteuse bluegill paddletail lure. Thanks again 😎✌🎩

In Ontario and my favorite fishing time is late fall at night for trophy walleyes. Rapala jointed countdowns (discontinued) work best.

I live in Mckeesport, and love the vids. I fish some of the same waters, caught a 13lb walleye last spring and just lost one even bigger right at my feet. Had my hand on her and couldnt get a grip it, she was so thick. All catch and release. Keep catching.

In the past at that area we used the broken back 4 in Rapala and a Kmart lure that looked like it, that was only $1.00 which was also a broken back the same length. They killed those lures. Always started fishing about 8:30 pm untill about 11:pm. Haven't fished there for awhile now, but plan on soon. Hope to see you there or on the Mon some day.

those big ones were caught between 7 and 8

Where I fish the best bait is just normal 3-4 inch spoons in black and white or in all honesty countdown rapala s or drop shots you should try drop shotting with beaver tail flat worms or minnows I’ve got 3 walleye over 32 a 33 a 37 and a 36 on just sucker minnows hooked through the nose but glide baits are my favorite fall and spring baits besides jerk baits

Almost all my biggest walleyes have come accidentally while trolling medium sized musky/pike baits. The Wally’s crush em too!

Dang! That Muskie lure is as big as the fish I catch 🤣 I'm still learning 😁

Rapala suspending baits number 13 or Rapala husky jerk 13s or Rapala FL 13s and also try Smithwick rattlin Rogues they got a loud rattling them and they're all about 6 inches long

Always at dusk😊

@rivercatch8216

Жыл бұрын

Its important to release most of the larger walleye since they are much more efficient at reproducing. Its best to selectively harvest average size walleye to eat. This way more and larger fish are able to be caught in the future.

Great river to fish excellent video. Keep them coming. Check out Lehigh fishing company. Custom rod manufacturer. American 🇺🇸 made. 👍🎣

Walleye in PA need to be at least 15 inches long. So most of the (big) fish you are catching are not big enough to keep.

@absoluteunitmedia

Жыл бұрын

Yes I know the law….I wasn’t keeping any regardless. The 28” and 29” walleye we caught are big by my standards, so I was very happy with the night

think your scales broken

Great to see a lot of giant fish from one spot. Unfortunately many of our fishers don't let them go. So others like me are lucky to catch one or two such monsters in a year.
