NWT Winning Walleye - Will We Find ‘Em After the Tourney?

[@BrentBranning-j9d]

Enjoyed talking with you at the NWT. Waiting for your version of Tour Level Gold!!

[@rippinglipsadventures]

It was a blast meeting you, too. I'm hoping to do that edit next. I just need to buy another hard drive to fit a week's worth of footage onto it and get it going. It will be the biggest edit I'll have ever tackled in my lifetime when I get time (school teaching started two weeks ago, too). The name of the thing will hopefully come to me after I'm done with it, too. Any ideas for me? Tom G. was my friend I followed around prefishing and some of the weigh in. I mentioned "Tour Level Tom," but nothing has really stuck out yet and I definitely won't be nearly comparable to Tour Level Gold in quality and production with all their gear and team.

Good video! Makes me want to get back there and go fishing again. It was nice meeting you along with my brother during the NWT. Hope to get back again soon!

[@rippinglipsadventures]

Thank you! Yeah, surprisingly the fishing has picked up in late August around Garrison now. It was tough to find any walleye up until the NWT around home. The other day, we had 12 in about an hour on one spot. I was even able to call my catches as my jig was dropping twice. I didn't call them from feeling the bite, but knowing dropping amongst 15 fish two feet off the bottom was going to be a feeding frenzy. I hope there is another NWT in Garrison and you all can make it back again. Maybe next time, I'd try my luck as a co-angler, too. Thanks for introducing yourself. It was a ton of fun meeting you guys.

Water level looks good. So important for year-round fishing. Some years, the level on the Big Lake was prohibitive. Pretty much always good fishing with a brother or friends in a Lund Pro-V. P.S. - I can tell you haven't any love loss for smallies.

[@rippinglipsadventures]

Water level has been decent. It did come down this summer, but it's still at -10 on the offset which is better than the -28 I've seen. Smallies are a blast when I'm targeting them with jigs and swimbait, but not when I'm using crawlers and trying to get on some eating fish. Then they're more of a nuisance. They sure were easy to catch that day, though.

Your brother is very entertaining. You need to bring him along more often.

they got update kits for minn kotas to the new bluetooth remote. Tested mine and it controlled the motor 500ft away and i could have gone farther but ran out of space.

[@rippinglipsadventures]

Oh yeah, I have used my Ulterra well over 100 feet away for 7 years. My trolling motor maintenance has been minimal with Pledge and a wipe down here and there and stay off of gravel roads if I don't have Pledge with me to clean it off prior to use. The deploy motor is going out among other things now. So I just wanted to get away from relying on the Ulterra for launching like I have for 7 years and over 500 launches. Don't want to swim for it and this Dakota Boat Retriever gives me the ability to launch my boat faster and with more dependability than my Ulterra ever will. If you want to see how I launched my boat prior to getting my Dakota Boat Retriever, you can find it as my most popular video on my channel with over 33k views.

Nice show

[@rippinglipsadventures]

Thanks Don! I appreciate you saying so.

Another fun video with your brother. He’s so entertaining…. “What’s he doing we’re not doing”. Randy, you never answered the question 🤔

[@rktman56]

The answer…. Brett was “catching” and you two were “fishing” 😂

[@rippinglipsadventures]

The answer was in video format immediately pulling in a twisted line trying to fix tangled messes right on cue. Ha, ha!
