Another great video could you tell me what the slot limits are for walleye I'm planning on going to pool #8 in a couple of weeks

[@AnglerX]

Thank you! The best place to get the slot limit information is in the state fishing regulations. That said I think Pools 4-8 are 4 fish limit, minimum of 15", and only one can be over 20". But don't believe anything people tell you on social media, double check for yourself 🙂.

What rod size/power/action do you recommend for those river rig configurations with 1 or 3/4 oz sinkers? Did you go with heavier braided line too? Thanks for creating these willow cat videos. Very informative! Love it!❤

[@AnglerX]

I use a 7’2” MLXF Radcliffe Rod with 8 lb monofilament line. No reason you couldn’t use braid as well.

[@cabinvibeetsystore9094]

New sub! Liked

[@AnglerX]

Thank you!

[@gregoryselner7261]

Another great video. What size circle hook do you recommend when fishing for walleye’s?

[@AnglerX]

I was using a size 2 gamakatsu octopus hook.

[@teamextremefishing]

Great video! Do you ever try leeches in thr current? Also, what are the yellow river jigs you use? Thanks!

[@AnglerX]

I don’t use leeches. No real reason other than the fact that nightcrawlers work so well. I’m not sure what jighead Eric was using in this video.

[@riverrat988]

Great video. Sometimes they love chewing meat. You running a clear leader or Hi Viz

[@AnglerX]

I use a hi vis leader. Same as my main line.

[@marknaglreiter9330]

The Mississippi is a big river, so, where are you fishing?

[@kelly-kendall]

That fish you had in the beginning looks like an Asian Carp

[@Skank_Hunt42]

I've never seen the need to use willow cats for walleyes. Super expensive first of all and second, night crawler works just as good or even better.

[@AnglerX]

The guys I’ve talked to claim they catch bigger fish and the tournament guys swear by them but you’re right nightcrawlers work really well.

[@coreysellers4529]

Called a bait shop to see if they had willowcat and he informed me that it's illegal to sell them

[@AnglerX]

Bait shops in Wisconsin along the Mississippi River sell them.

[@brentseamans5798]

I didn’t think you could legally catch and use your own willow cats?

[@AnglerX]

You can in Minnesota but there are a number of regulations you must follow.
