[@ryancrampton8598]

hey man let me know when youre goin out again wouldnt mind fishin from a boat

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Will do

[@johncronk9422]

Good job good video thanks for posting go to dollar tree get a permanent marker write the tape measurements on your seat no more dealing with a tape until you catch a big one also get a pool noodle put it on your net handle

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

That is a great idea about the tape, thank you. I think I'll do that and give you a shout out in the next video. I realized my net floats after I almost fell in after it. LOL... Thanks for the tips

[@michaelupchurch3769]

Do that River has any 20 inch walleyes

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Very few, I pulled up a few 18-19” last year and years past but it’s been awhile since I caught anything over 19”

[@edwardfulner9618]

What size Rapala you using? Were you tipping it with the whole minnow? When you use a jig what size jig are you using? And were using your trolling motor 2 hold the boat still. Nice video glad you see you catch fish on Saginaw

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

I think it was a 3/8 rap, yes I was using the whole minnow, I had to set anchor because the wind was blowing me into the ship. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed

[@michaelupchurch3769]

I fish lake Erie and Maumee River we have big walleyes

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

I’ve fished Lake Erie as well, long time ago but I remember we caught big walleye, good luck!

[@tankdog03ify]

If u didn't reel down on the fish so far u can flip them into the boat and net much easier without having to set ur pole down.. good day of fishing

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Thanks for the tip

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

I've heard this more than once now, I am going to try that next time. Thank you.

[@lloydbeebe3716]

Great video. Hillbilly jigging at its finest. Try slowing your cadence down and give the fish a chance to bite. Might not lose as many if they hooked in the mouth.

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Thanks for the tips!

[@shanewells9067]

Can you please tell me where the boat ramp is

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

The closest one is at the U.S. Edson, or you can use the boat launch at Golson Boat Launch (N. Johnson) like I did, both good launches

[@shanewells9067]

@@MichiganOutdoorsman1977 that’s I was in tawase and a gray last night nothing happening yet

[@MichiganOutdoorsman1977]

Great places to fish! I wish I had a larger boat. Good luck and stay safe!
