Jigging BIG Walleyes While Ice Fishing FIRST ICE!

[@matthewmiller7896]

You definitely are a diehard walleye enthusiast, love it

[@craigwavra3495]

Always appreciate the videos. Learn something on each trip you make!!

[@NicholasLoan]

Bring em up the hole!!! Up the hooolllleee!!! Love it Hayes!!😅😅😅

[@NateUpNorth]

You should try out the akuma ceymar bait feeder , I use it on my deadstick super loose drag , tip barely loads till I flip the switch and hook set , wonder how long it would’ve took before that walleye ripped your pole out of the holder

[@ipoopinwalmart5968]

It’s a sweet reel. I have 2 of them 1 I use for my ifishpro and dead stick in the shack.

[@NicholasLoan]

I have 3 of them I likey

[@FarNorthAnglers]

I have one for my dead stick rod and it’s a game changer forsure. Way better then an open bail set up it’s just about as sensitive as a tip up when you set it on its most sensitive setting

[@davey8525]

Hookset of the year!

[@awebb28]

Lol…bro took down the double-espresso this morning. Love the enthusiasm @6:26

[@snowbeltangling1494]

Haze is on another level. Could make a comedy fishing show

[@earlshannon1048]

New nickname Hookset Tommy lol😂 And one more thing tell Hayes try and get a little more excited lol 😅😅😂 great video Tom thank you!

[@jeffrivnie5519]

great video!! so jealous you can drive around, we're just being able to start walking..hoping for a quick button up with the cold weather we have running through central Ontario!

[@joevette6290]

Healthy walleyes over there!!

[@jensentr83]

The big lake’s looking even more promising this year!

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Tom with the hook set of the year!!! 😂

[@mr.wannabe2786]

You should put your bigger fish on a bump board so we can see exactly how big it is.

[@ipoopinwalmart5968]

Definitely not the Hayes I was thinking of but I love his enthusiasm!!

[@tobinlakeguideservices]

Good video. Merry Christmas 🎄 to you and family

[@MrShelly1118]

Did you have a chance to try to see how deep it will work. Wondering if it will work for deep lake trout?

[@philschmitt796]

Lake is loaded with young perch and tullibee right now. Nice eyes!

[@bradyknudson2731]

Lacs was insane yesterday!!

[@IllinoisNativv]

Still waiting one safe ice down here in Northern Illinois. Enjoying your content in the meantime. Merry Christmas

[@Himes26]

Also from Nothern IL…10 day forecast not looking so good. Heading to Mille lacs mid Jan.

[@stevejuststuff2779]

Great video. Thanks

[@Mnfish1234]

Lacs was tough this fall, lotta bait out here casted at hundreds of fish and only caught a handful

[@cargage9523]

Skill issue

[@jgs1703]

Any tips for winter fishing a dam today in 35 degree weather?

[@jackmasters9953]

Boat?

[@jgs1703]

@jackmasters9953 shore

[@jgs1703]

@jackmasters9953 it's a broken dam where the water rushes through really quick with a big sand beach.

[@jackmasters9953]

@@jgs1703 try the slack edges with twister tails, swim baits or a split tail minnow like the Finesse minnow from Lunker city. Tip with minnow or plain. Low and slow retrieve. Rabbit hunting here😀

[@jgs1703]

@jackmasters9953 I will keep you posted if I catch something

[@ChrisLaprise-p8n]

Hey Tom, are there numbers on those tags? I didn't see you look. You could call your local DNR and help them with their statistics. They would appreciate a length and weight too.

[@troyfisher493]

Hoping for Saggy Bay mi. Ice this year.

[@davidtisch5237]

Still chasing Mallards Some good early bites out there For Walters But who can think ice fishing when they have a week long duck hunt in Arkansas timber ducks let’s go

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice

[@jackmasters9953]

What’s ice??? Southern Michigan here

[@jgs1703]

About to open water fish in Iowa today. Still no ice.

[@cowboyjack328]

Forecast is not looking good for eastern Iowa either

[@jgs1703]

@cowboyjack328 I'm in the Cedar Rapids area. Just bought livescope yesterday.

[@cowboyjack328]

@ nice! I’ve been running live for years. I fish PC and mcb a lot

[@cowboyjack328]

@@jgs1703 you will love the livesope! Now we just need ice 🤞🏻

[@jgs1703]

@cowboyjack328 I do too as well as alot of the local dams! Caught quite a few good walleyes this year. I fish for walleyes, bass, musky, wipers, and a little of everything else also.

[@101769able]

biggest head shake i ever witnessed

[@tcf190]

Fishing on your knees not good then you get old. Do it while can.

[@MrJderoche]

First

[@Skank_Hunt42]

Looks like bird is close to garmin lvs32 status now. Lowrance is still stuck at garmin ps22 level. So far garmin is still king but its going to be a close race in the next 5 years

[@cargage9523]

Doubt it garmin going to release again
