Such respect for not eating the giant walleye

[@quinnm.2314]

I mostly agree and I do the same, but theoretically, they would be less successful breeders due to their advance age, yes?

[@brokenpebble7492]

@@quinnm.2314 I mean you also don't keep trophy fish so someone else can catch it later and have a good time

[@quinnm.2314]

@@brokenpebble7492 no not me, I care much more about the ecosystem and environment than I do someone other random person catching it. Too much disrespect and carelessness by other people in so many ways that im not going to determine my actions on other random people. Im mostly just referring to walleye and other better tasting fish that arent considered top game fish. ill never eat a largemouth for example

This summer on the Columbia river in eastern Oregon I caught a 12lb 13 oz walleye. Best day of my life, I'm 5ft 3in and this was from my waist basically to my feet.

WoW! That Columbia river up there has got em all.

After the flood where i use to live in p.a me and my brother in law pulled a 4fter out of a lagoon... it was a high i cant explain...

Being from Michigan i always hear about the trophy factory spots we have and am always quick to inform people about Jurassic Park out west. That river system is the home of giants and i guarantee a world record will come again soon from there

Under the McNary?

[@rolandd5397]

soon all of these fish will be replaced by invasive carp so sad

I might be biased but this is one of my favorite episodes you have ever done. So much good information in this video and the way you cooked the walleye looks incredible! 🤘

[@drewsims262]

From someone that lives in sandusky, 5 min from camp sandusky, and regularly trolls for walleye. Im extremely biased in saying this is my favorite video to ever be put on youtube

[@drewsims262]

Seriously so happy to see this you have no idea

[@5050fishing]

Drew Sims awesome! My video from my point of view of this trip should drop tomorrow. 🤘

[@itsobvious5835]

Nice Show. Like you, I’am kinda new to Lake Erie. I started about 4 years ago, and since I have learned to fish the lake now I’m completely spoiled. I have never had anything like this in fresh water before in my life (53 years old). I fish just like you guys did in this show. I’m hooked on Erie!

[@YakFishField]

It’s a sweet body of water!

[@Tht1guy63]

Camp sandusky i used to go to all the time growing up for cedar point. Before they added all the little cabins and nice bricked camper spots. Nice little place.

[@Fishnfreak]

Though drum perch are referred to as trash fish, they are damn good eating. Some of the whitest most firm freshwater fish fillet I’ve ever had. Very tasty

[@williamatwill8857]

You mean a freshwater Drum or locally known as a Sheepshead, in wN They can get up to 25 lbs.

[@Fishnfreak]

@@williamatwill8857 no, I mean drum perch like I said. It’s the same thing. It’s in the perch family, and it’s a drum. ( drum perch )

[@Hoserfishing]

Here (Western Canada) some walleye are 50 ft deep in the fall in 100 ft of water. Yet we have caught some in shallow bays fly fishing for Northerns in warm weather. Same with the summertime, suspended groups in at 37 ft in 50 ft of water last trip on the flooded section of the river system. Some are shallow, some stay deep.

[@ReverendBarryTheFunk]

Love your videos! My wife and I are full time RV’ing starting in August. I’m bringing an inflatable skiff on the road with us. Can’t wait to get out and fish many of those same spots :)

[@79tazman]

I live in Canada right across the lake from Sandusky and I go all over the islands Put In Bay Kelleys Island Pelee Island I just love the fishing out there catch some good Walleye, Yellow Perch, some good size Rainbow trout. I use the same thing for trolling the Dipsy Diver and I use Pink Lady too

[@chrislittle523]

Ive eat fresh water drum, on lake Sam Rayburn. Fryed it up with bass and catfish no one knew the difference

[@macklangford7219]

Drove 8 hrs to Sandusky from Virginia best fishing ever on lake Erie

Yessir!

[@buckeyeoutdoorstv]

Great job on Lake Erie getting those walleyes !

[@Intimidator82]

Drum are a member of the croaker family and I consider them trash fish. I have heard that you need to go deeper if you are catching drum, they run a little higher in the water column with silver bass and others.

[@YakFishField]

Right

[@montanayakfishing4695]

That...THAT Was a good episode bro. Walleye fishing is so addictive and challenging but the reward is so delicious.

[@adamsmithTAG]

Fish 'em out of your YAK too! Just caught a beauty, 26", in 15 feet of water. Walleye are everywhere this year. Deep, shallow, schooling, on their own, everywhere!!! 13 years fishing the shore area in my YAK, Walleye in the last 2 years have been great.

[@YakFishField]

Mannnn that’d be fun. Where are you at? Maybe I could join you. Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@eagleviewhd]

We used to camp at Sandusky a lot when I was younger. Did a lot of perch, walleye, and bass fishing on Lake Erie. Caight a lot of bass around the Bass Islands on the western end of Lake Erie. Used dipsy divers and Erie Dearies. My Brother had a 38 ft sailboat on Lake Erie. We did a lot of sailing and fishing on the lake. I grew up in Ohio and remember when they said Lake Erie was dying. It sure has gotten cleaner. The zebra Muscles are heavy there, but they filter the water and it has gotten cleaner.

[@FISHGEEK007]

RIP Terry. Stinger Spoons founder was a hell of a fisherman and a really good guy. He went out the way anyone that knew him figured he would go. Best spoon on the market. NICE FISH ROBERT and you are right!! The barred crab eater we catch of the pilings down south are Sheepshead. Those things are Drum and a pain in the spoon

[@YakFishField]

RIP 🙏🏼

[@raheed2488]

i actually fish just for sheephead with bass gear along the shores of sandusky... they hit a bass lure harder than any other fish on the lake apart from big smallies...

[@YakFishField]

Yeah they’re underrated for sure

[@johnnydrum5]

Love fishing Lake Erie and great video! I fished w/ with my Family on three boats the whole week of 5/24-5/30/2020, west side of Catawba Island. 151 Walleyes total, 302 filets for 10 guys. 28" largest haul w/ a average of 19". Crazy to think that we sucked compared to what everyone else was catching 😂

[@jasonkinner1]

Awesome! Love that you put giants back

[@billgale2264]

You should try Yellow Perch fishing in Lake Erie. In the 70s that was the best fishing in Erie. I grew up with Lake Erie as our front yard.

[@YakFishField]

I’d love to do that some day

Super stoked to see you in my home town enjoying my favorite fish. Kinda makes me proud even though i didnt have a damn thing to do with any of this😂 Oh and i just went out on the ocean for some saltwater fishing for my first time ever today and caught a few blue fin tuna.

[@79tazman]

The weather on the lake is true it can be clear and like glass you get out and half hour later you got five foot waves and gets crazy quick I've been got many times in stuff like that. The lake overall is not that deep 40 to 60 feet out in the shipping channel it's around 75 to 80 feet deepest part is on the Canadian side near long point there it gets over 200 feet.

[@BlueCollarFishing]

Heading to the PA side tomorrow to go out for walleye , thanks for making this video this week lol. Also, have a lightning kayak on its way soon so my fishing is about to change hopefully. nice video Robert if your ever in east PA then lets head out.

[@charlesrowell4937]

Come on down to the Lake Charles, LA area, we'll get into some bent rod kayak fishing and cook up a spicy court bouillon. Typically made with catfish, but it is great with some marsh reds too.

[@bitefishing]

Late to watch, but work has been nuts. This was a fun video, and that cooking style is great. I'll do that with omlettes a lot: clear out my leftover fresh stuff and throw it in there. It's ended up pretty good, most times. The best was sliced turkey, a little chorizo, spinach, some peppers, mushrooms, and about 3 different kinds of cheese. I'll be incorporating this idea for sure. Thanks as always for your great videos.

The blue is a REALLY big recommend if you wanna destroy some nice walleye this year. Also we bought 6 after i caught the 8 pounder and lost 3😑😂

I'll try your recipe, and you can try mine ? I like to use Lemon Pepper with Garlic powder & Butter ! I think either way is WIN, WIN ! Back in the mid-80's, I went on a charter out of Sandusky, Ohio. We killed the walleyes ! To keep fishing, we tossed some fish to other boaters who weren't so lucky ! 1 oz. lead-head jigs with shiners did the trick ! My last cast and the Captain said "Bring 'em in boys, time to go home" ! I yelled ""HOLD ON, FISH ON"" ! IT WAS THE BIGGEST WALLEYE OF THE DAY ! It weighed in at 12 pounds. The Captain asked to use my fish picture for his brochure, and gave me a small walleye pin for my hat ! AH, THE MEMORIES !

[@scottgrzymkowski]

What no kayaks? You're in my neck of the woods Robert Field, most of us up here on Lake Erie, would rather drift fish then go trolling for walleyes, drift fishing is the only way to go unless you want the boat to catch all the fish take turns reeling them in. I know you would rather feel the bite. I'm sure you're with some real good fishermen but if you want to have a real good time catching and casting you got to go a little further West but not too far west somewhere between Reno Beach Ohio and Port Clinton or Sandusky but the further west you go the better the reefs are lot more structure on the West end lot more rocks that the walleye I like. By the way one of your videos I saw you fishing in a kayak with a fishing guide, Brian Nelly, of pushing water. I fished with Brian three times, that was a real trip! Definitely used up one of my lives on one of the trips when I turtle the kayak and I was unconscious. Scared the s*** out of Brian I haven't been back but I plan on doing it again. PS. Wild Wings Marina, is a really great place to go out of. Everything you could possibly want there, food lodging ramp store and bar you never have to leave the campground and some of the best fishing guides on the western end of Lake Erie!

[@YakFishField]

Yeah man, trolling isn’t my thing, but I’d say most people who come visit up here end up going trolling. Just trying to show different ways people catch the fish in their good!
