Fishing for BIG WALLEYE in Nebraska {CATCH CLEAN COOK}

[@erikl827]

Those Panama and overseas episodes are epic, but I love these "regular" episodes filmed here in random USA spots. Also love the emotional rollercoaster even though I know you don't! Most fisherman experience this on the daily basis and these type of episodes are ultra relatable.

[@YakFishField]

Thanks Erik that means a lot. I’ll never sugarcoat it, fishing is fishing and it doesn’t always go as smoothly as we hope when we’re driving to the ramp!

[@PhilipFear]

I fished Big Mac back in the early 70s when my Dad and I went to visit his side of our family.... My Uncle Gail had the ranch, and my Uncle Charles had the farm.... And Big Mac was some great fishing.... We caught White Bass by the hundreds along with the Walleyes....

[@YakFishField]

Great story! It’s still a great fishery!

[@chadself9462]

My wife and i are moving out to Lake Mac in a couple months and have spent a ton of time out there. Her family lives out there and we have fished the hell out of the the lake over the years. Van’s is a great place to camp and launch from. The lake has been very low the last few years so having their capability to launch without a boat ramp has been very useful. Great spot for walleye fishing as well as numerous other species.

[@williamammon4899]

Walleye is the best. My mouth was watering so bad . Awesome video as always. Thanks for all you do to bring this to us.

[@YakFishField]

It was soooo good. Thanks so much for watching William!

[@garretthurtt6254]

Come and fish Mac during the spring spawn for walleye. It's a circus out there but chances of catching 10 plus pound walleye go way up. Guys troll or cast Mr twister up at the dam and catch them constantly

[@benjaminsims544]

You gotta give credit to local guides everywhere with all the pressure they have to put their clients on fish. There happens to be rough days, happens to everyone! Great job to you and to your guide, he seems like a knowledgeable and good guy. Great video, keep posting the good content !!!

[@BalisongFlipzz]

I love how happy you are and how non chalant the other guy is

[@corngirt_chronicles]

I love how excited you get when u catch a good one..... everyone else 😐

[@fishinwithferg6048]

No doubt about fishing being so frustrating/rewarding! Overtime win, great job

[@YakFishField]

We’ve all been there haha

[@markphilippsjr]

You have to be one of the most unique KZbin angler platforms out there I really enjoy the content you provide and I got to be honest I've learned a ton

[@YakFishField]

Thanks so much Mark, means the world

[@johnanderson7925]

When walleye are deep and don't want to bite I use a whole night crawlers with a spinner down deep

[@mancinguniq227]

You need to look at a vacuum sealer and save room in your freezer. Thanks for sharing what fishing really is. That fish committed suicide cause he knew he was sick. Stay safe

[@YakFishField]

I still prefer freezing in water but you’re right, vacuum sealer would be money for my baby RV freezer

[@bcmathews1116]

The 25'' female you wanted to eat was a baby maker deluxe. We never keep the big females like that. When they get that age and that size their mercury content is thru the roof. I only keep and eat 16'' thru 19'' fish. And then you're doing your part to help the walleye fishery by turning those big girls back. Really enjoyed the video, Quite entertaining.

[@kevinpiche5072]

Last spring I caught 17 Walleye in 3 hours from the shore on the Detroit river !! 🎣

[@YakFishField]

Incredible!! That’s a day there!

[@stephenlewis7756]

John came thru in extra time! Man that fish made me furiously hungry! You're in the zone!

[@YakFishField]

He’s a miracle worker and while it ain’t bojala, that walleye is no joke! Miss ya buddy

[@mthprit350]

Great segment. I fish lake Mac every year and the walleye are amazing but the small mouth bass on the dam are so fun.

[@YakFishField]

I’ll have to hit that next time!

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

But no comment about Contaminated Fish? Are you a guide?

[@capyoassautomatic]

Love your fishing videos man! The vibe and the way your videos flow and are put together is impeccable ❤❤❤

[@YakFishField]

Thanks so much!

[@donovanhernandez7889]

next time you catch walleye get the wings off of them. it's like the belly part of the fish beneath the gills where the pectoral fins are. some of the best part of the fish you will ever have better than crab claws.

[@YakFishField]

Mannnn I should do that! We call those the “throats” and take them off redfish all the time. Shoulda thought about it! I love that cut of fish. Great idea Donovan

[@Thelast3ambender263]

Hey Robert! If you wanna catch some pretty big Pike and walleye, go to lesser slave lake! If you wanna catch walleye, use a hard bait that goes to the bottom, and then troll, the walleye love that! But when summer hits, use a spoon or a swimbait! Oh and for pike, just use anything, they are HUGE there. Oh and troll around dog island or the houses with the red roofs

[@YakFishField]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Thelast3ambender263]

@@YakFishField and another tip, go to dog island In mid June/July and go to the little beach on there and start fishing! You’ll get a chase or a fish every cast! And the pike come right up to you to eat your bait! Just use a spoon or a soft swimbait for both pike and walleye! The walleye hang out in the weeds near the islands shore in June/July.

[@eduardomoran5672]

Atleast this guy tried me and my buddies got Phil he didn't even try went back n forth by the dam for 8 hours didn't catch a stick that's badass I've would of been happy with them dinks

[@mikehuhman3249]

Well I'm bummed out you didn't catch a bigger fish here in Nebraska. Please come back and get your monster 🐳. I really enjoyed the video! Happy fishing 🎣

[@Outboundwithjake]

Great video man, you’ve taught me most of what I know, if your in San Diego CA and want to chase some rock fish or yellowtail let me know

[@YakFishField]

Thanks brother! I love San Diego, have you seen my old La Jolla videos? If not look thru my Field Trips West Coast playlist. Gotta get back down there.

[@Outboundwithjake]

Ya man I’ve seen ‘‘em All haha you were an inspiration to my fishing journey and now I do my own videos from my paddle board/boat. For sure if you get over here let me know. Also, will there be more Panama trips or are you just continuing your US expedition?

Walleye and perch are amazing

[@thomasvoeltz4100]

Walleye & panfish are also good fried with a coating of Corn Flake Crumbs.

[@Heisstrong]

Robert, walleye and crappie are my favorite fresh water fish. It is not the best time to fish for walleye in Big Mac but you landed a big one anyway. South Dakota has some great walleye lakes too. Nebraska's Tom Osborne goes walleye fishing there about every year. The parmesan-crusted walleye looked delicious! Love your great video's!

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

If the Game and Fish hasnt already put Hybrid Striped Bass in the Lake , The people that fish in the lake should fight it to the end to keep these trash fish out . They eat anything that moves and will , destroy a fishery . They probably already have and you are blaming the Walleye depletion on climate change 4 times a year.

[@Seany1]

​@@jimmyfumbanks6081 What's wrong with hybrid stripped bass?

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

@@Seany1 They will eat everything they can swallow . I know for a fact they destroyed a Mississippi River Oxbow ,In about 2 years time after the Geniouses at the Fish and Wildlife released them they destroyed the best crappie lake in the area it was a 5 mile long lake and a mile wide. They had several lawsuits against them . The hybrid Bass are also reproducing . And No one fishes for or eats the nasty off tasting meat. The area stores have closed after bing in buisness dince the early 1950.s

[@potatoe1bread358]

first minute of the video sums Nebraska pretty well (I live there)

[@wyomingweekendwarriorw3]

The exact reason I don’t keep any big walleye out of that lake. They all have it. Better to let them go and let someone else experience the catch of a trophy walleye. Way to stick it out

[@CookinWithSquirrl]

If you crack your egg on a flat surface you are far less likely to get shells in the bowl. If you have the option do this method with some real Parmagiano Reggiano. That is if it's in your budget, I know it's far more expensive than shaker cheese but the flavor is definitely better. Great cook man.

[@ericharrison4583]

Them is massive!! 😯

[@jeremybrown5117]

Still a little confused as to why you don’t have more subscribers. I really enjoy watching the videos. Would give anything to go salt water fishing with you.

[@JRODANGLING509]

In your travels, if you make it to the Columbia River. I’ll get you on your biggest walleye or at least try.

Try cracking your eggs on a flat surface instead of on an edge, it works much better.
