Spring Walleye Fishing Columbia River

[@joeychen8772]

What a precious time for a Father and son bonding. Priceless.

[@marvinsauer8493]

AND that young man was sporting a life vest under his coat!

[@HungryH1951]

The excitement a kid feels when catching a nice fish is a wonderful sight to behold. Great stuff. Reminds me of my childhood fishing days.

[@Pacific_NW]

Couldn't agree more! 👍🏻

[@daveholte7658]

Made my day. Reminded me of my past with 2 boys. Perfect patient teaching father. Imagine the memories being made to remember forever. Perfect boat set up,,,

[@Pacific_NW]

Memories that will last a lifetime! Thank you.

[@jamesmikkelson7636]

Absolutely broke a smile when that walleye hit as soon as johnlocked the rod in the holder!!!

[@balam8743]

Thanks for sharing these videos with your kids. I wish my son was into fishing as I am so I can make these same memories, unfortunately my son doesn't care for fishing or the water.

[@jamesnewell1614]

Wish I was there, nice job Dad love that you take the kids what a great way to spend quality time with the boy 👍🏾👍🏾

[@buckzilla1466]

That is so awesome spending the day with your son on the Columbia river catching walleye, This is my first video that I've seen from your channel I am hooked

[@Pacific_NW]

Welcome aboard! 👍🏻

[@drewandcharlie7583]

Your son is a better fisherman than 90% of the people i take fishing

[@Pacific_NW]

Couldn’t agree more! 👍🏻

[@edb3877]

Great footing and balance for a youngster. Well done, lad. 👍

That John is a walleye-catching machine!! Another great video!

[@drewandcharlie7583]

Whoa bro. Was that an unmanned boat launch? I need this in my life…

[@NightSniper64]

Great video, that is time that he'll NEVER forget. Great to see this kind of content. Tight lines fellow fishermen.

[@guyh.4553]

Love having your little man crank down the the boat trailer. 😊😊😊 And OMG! What a great idea using your remote in your bow to bring your your boat to the dock. I can't remember seeing the Columbia that calm. Which reach were you fishing? Looks like 10-15 mi upstreamfrom McNary. LOL. And the age old adage holds true again, if you want to catch fish, take your child with you as the kid will way out fish you! 😊😊😊

[@Rejectingmodernity01]

can we get the specs and details on the boat?maybe a detailed video of the setup?

[@SpruceSculptures]

Slick way to use the trolling motor and remote, smart guy.

[@Pacific_NW]

Just make sure you don’t lose power or connection!

[@sam-68-56]

Good way to teach the youngster on conservation. Wish more folks would do the same...

[@1walleyeatatime]

Great job, i fished in Boardman back in February and never seen a bite, good to see success, im guessing water temp was up a bit with all this sunshine

[@Pacific_NW]

Warmed up a little bit since February…

[@Xtinnoker]

Beautiful fish, Great Job

[@Pacific_NW]

Thanks 👍

[@raymondfox8550]

Love IT,,, Dad doing it Right,,,thank u,,,🙏,,your son is the Most,,,💯👌

[@Pacific_NW]

I appreciate that! 👍🏻

[@bobsnyder2202]

Pacific NW, You and little John make your videos even more awesome, I know exactly where you are at in the video. I went and caught only spawning perch at the spot. I know by the buoy there it is 40FT. Am I to late in the month for them?

[@Pacific_NW]

Thank you! 👍🏻 Fishing is just picking up. Never too late to go fishing!

[@reedfee3541]

What rod and reel and line set up do you use?

[@MontanaWelldigger]

Nothing better than watching young kids catching fish. Nice job on releasing the breeding females. The places I fish are getting over harvested.

[@MikeTanner3210]

Great video ! What boat do you have ?

[@Pacific_NW]

Thank you! I have a Hewescraft Sportsman 200 at the current moment. 👍🏻

What a perfect day to take your son out walleye fishing.

[@davidsummerville398]

May I ask how long of a leader do you usually run

[@lovethe43rdstate]

Great job dad

[@lg8080]

What is your boat's brand and model? Is it for saltwater as well?

[@nickbjornstad1924]

How well does that bow mount keep up with the gorge wind?? Is it the 80 or 110??

[@Pacific_NW]

80 does really well!

[@hookedforanicemeal]

Wow, that’s some Nice walleyes good job.👍

[@mtbinthepnw6736]

We love the videos! What speed are you trolling down there?

[@paulsanders6645]

Can you share date and location for this day?

[@tywaltman4044]

Crow Butte?

[@bmac9565]

Do you notice a difference with the edge rod compared to the other brands ?

[@Pacific_NW]

Better quality rods. Fished with several different rods in the past. Hard to go back to fishing with a different rod after using an edge rod.

[@robertovaldez4747]

Hello my friend; I watch a lot of your walleye videos. The fact that you take your kids out is awsome, I wish my son would join me but he only likes watching sports. Where do you LAUNCH ? I would like to fish that area. Where is this area?

[@CW45011]

47 seconds in and I just have to say that is one bada$$ self docking boat.

[@Pacific_NW]

Just make sure you don’t lose power or connection… Otherwise you lose your boat!

[@chadtroutman4410]

Good job getting those Walleye you got yourself a great fishing buddy, what size weights do you troll with in that area?

[@dougstiehl3133]

Nice Walleyes 🎣🎣🐟

[@Pacific_NW]

Thanks 👍

[@amocat11wilson48]

What boat launch is this?

[@wizwiz-pr7jg]

Nice boat. Whats the brand?

[@Pacific_NW]

I own a Hewescraft. Great boat!

[@budmcgavran]

What is the brand of net you’re using?

[@Pacific_NW]

amzn.to/3TMTW03 Hope that helps. Thanks!

[@HillbillyJayy]

I love the whole video. One note about safety though is that I didn't see you or your son wearing life jackets at all. He was standing up on the edge if the boat waiting to net your fish, and he wasn't wearing a life jacket at all. A person only drowns once. A fishing trip losing someone makes terrible memories that last a lifetime, instead of good, safe memories. Hope you think about this on your next trip out.

[@Pacific_NW]

Thanks for your concern. Rest assured, he is wearing a life jacket! It’s under his coat so he has better mobility, as it can get pretty tight with the coat zipped up 😁 7:15

[@HillbillyJayy]

Ok, I just I couldn't see anything on the video as far as life preserver being worn. Now, I'm thinking maybe it was one of the blow-up types that work via using a Co2 cartridge. You didn't mention if you had one on buy that your boy did. I'm just so safety minded is all, and i don't want to see a fellow outdoorsman, especially his boy drown because there's no fixing that if it happens Ask me how I know. I lost a cousin and an uncle of sorts to drowning, and it was 2 separate occasions. A person misses them as long as she person lives and there's no bringing them back and both times it was totally preventable was the sad thing.

[@robertovaldez4747]

just out side of tri cities wa like walula ?

[@Pacific_NW]

Several good ares to fish up there.

[@tomerickson834]

That is very awesome

[@paulyosef7550]

Great father

[@Fishnfreak]

Well made video

[@Pacific_NW]

Thank you. 👍🏻

[@lovethe43rdstate]

I would’ve treated that fish, a little nicer with some shallots, garlic butter, and olive oil where I live walleyes are invasive

[@Pacific_NW]

Great idea! 👍🏻

Part of it eat and enjoy part of the harvest god bless

They do fail quite a bit… always a gamble! 👍🏻

Great day on the water, watch the kid does not outdue you, a great defeat when that happens

[@Lenapaudin]

Hi Hope you're doing well We have been working on high-quality boots for years and boots made from environment-friendly material are our priority. We are going to release an upgraded rubber boots. We think the waterproof & anti-slip boot will be a great helper for when you work outdoors.are you interested in testing boots？ Thank you😊

[@richpaydirt]

You’re gonna want to throw back any resident fish you catch in the Columbia, especially lake Roosevelt. The latest is that it’s several times more polluted by Canadian mining waste than originally reported and it’s slated to become a superfund cleanup project.

[@Pacific_NW]

👍🏻

[@mchurch3905]

Hanford’s radioactive pollution adds to the toxicity to resident fish as well.
