I went from from watching an average walleye video to a world-class perch video. 😂😳😂

@JohnFavstar 2 года назад

Those are some nice perch though. I wouldn't be mad at a day of fishing like that.

walleye a better eating fish

@shanebanx9631 Год назад

I was thinking the same thing! Especially when they're that size 👌🏼 he found a honey hole. I'll eat pike, perch, crappy, walleye, and panfish all day long. Find you a honey hole and enjoy! I'm one of those odd ducks that thoroughly enjoy pike though, if you know how to fillet them they're some of the best eating you can get! Firm, flakey, vaguely reminds me of shark cus it's almost meaty in a way.

@Vod-Kaknockers 2 года назад

Live in Michigan. Don't have a boat so I cast for the eyes off our local rock pier. Jig with a mean eye blade bait or jigging rap in the Fall. Cast Papala Count downs in the Spring and I do pretty damn swell every year. No special technique and I'm still using an $8 rod I bought at Walmart 10 years ago. It's not all the fancy gear that catches fish, it's being there at the right time!

You nailed it Patriot! Good timing and a basic setup is all you need. Thanks for watching!

@user-vq4wk9or9t 2 месяца назад
