Where to Find GIANT WALLEYE in Summer (Biggest Fish in the Lake)

[@o0l0s0o0n]

i love when you show the type of structures you like to look for with the depth maps! great video nick

[@NickLindner]

Much appreciated. I want to do more of that in the future.

[@colejfishingadventures]

Great video Nick! That's so cool!! I've been wanting to make a walleye fishing video for my channel!! I love watching your videos man, keep up the amazing job!! 💪🤝🎣🎣

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Cole! Much appreciated. Good luck with the walleye videos!

[@Frankie-1492]

Really cool beginning of the video using live scope! Nice explanation during the video! Those were some tanks!!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks frank. That was a fun interaction on that first fish

[@evanmalison4489]

Thanks Nick a very informative video as usual!❤️🎣

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Evan!

Bro I’m just trying to find any Walleye. Any tips for deep mountain reservoir lakes?

[@NickLindner]

Hmm. I’m not sure I have great fool-proof advice. That’s not something I’ve tackled much specifically for walleyes.

[@JMonOutdoors]

Thanks for the tips Nick! Been watching a lot of your walleye videos lately… I feel confident in Crappies and Bluegills almost anywhere I go. But walleyes, they are a whole new learning curve and experience. So, thank you for producing your walleye content, been trying to copy some of the things you do, at times with success and other times with struggles (Mille Lacs success, Gull negative lol). Keep up the good work, maybe we will run into each other at one point 👍🏼🎣 I fish from the BLA to Aitkin Area and triangle back down to Pierz, MN.

[@NickLindner]

Thanks for watching. I’m glad you’re getting values! Gull can be super fickle, so don’t feel bad!

[@JMonOutdoors]

@@NickLindner no problem, I’m trying to learn and soak in as much about walleyes as I can. I watch you guys on Angling Buzz, Northland Tackle, and with Brett on Target Walleye… lots of awesome info… but, experience is the best teacher. Thanks for all that you do for the fishing world!

[@NickLindner]

@@JMonOutdoorsyou’re right on the money. Videos are a great way to shorten the learning curve, but time on the water is king

[@King_KaChing]

Excellent video as always!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks man. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@Runsfrombears]

Great video nick!

[@NickLindner]

Thanks!

Nice work breaking down cast lengths. I see guys run up on structure so fast, big motor on all the time. Boat control and positioning is so important (at least I'm finding) for successful hook up on fish you are as much stalking as fishing too traditional with jig fan casting. Would really like to know how valuable you feel brushless trolling units are now given FFs is the way to go after finding specific fish to target? Mabye.. a reaction videowatching fish behavior based on trolling unit (brushless vs traditional) by depth?

[@NickLindner]

Boat position is huge, I agree! I can’t say I have an opinion on the brushless deal. I think it’s just objectively better to have brushless with how hard we run these units with FFS though

[@marcusartner8727]

Have you noticed any kind of weather pattern or time of day be more effective for this technique especially on highly pressured lakes? Or is more about finding them and putting something in their face?

[@NickLindner]

The latter. The only thing I've seen is when there aren't any clouds, I've seen bait push down and the fish not suspending as much. Not true on ALL lakes, but some. Moon events (rise, set, overfoot, underhead) can help too

[@ALXqc]

What's the app you using?

[@NickLindner]

It’s lakemasters mapping.

[@badcrispy3933]

Great video nice fish

[@NickLindner]

Thanks man!

[@ontheone9559]

1/8 oz even for deeper fish?

[@NickLindner]

I like to, so it’s super easy to dance it in front of their face. But if they are moving around a lot, going to 3/16 or 1/4 can pay

[@scottrouwhorst881]

Nice boat Nick I have the same one 2021 model

[@NickLindner]

Nice! Same here

[@tjsguideservice]

Gonna have to start calling you Nicky Big Fish!

[@NickLindner]

😆

[@konabikerNick]

That first fish, you kept saying he, but was it most likely a female? I thought most fish over 24" on inland lakes are females.

[@NickLindner]

You’re correct. Most walleyes over 20 inches are female. I’m just saying random pronouns lol

[@lukedurand5234]

Been subbed for a while and noticed the lake you were showing was my cabin lake. I won’t say it but it’s by crosslake I’ll say that. But I was wondering is there a way I could get that map details on the other lake connected to it? or if you ever come up that the lake lmk I’m 3 doors down from the launch. That’s funny though, great video.

[@NickLindner]

Thanks Luke! I’m just using lakemaster mapping, so if it’s not on there, idk where the best place to get maps would be. Thanks for watching man

[@gordjohnson70]

"stinkin" tank, 'stinkin" beauty, "stinkin" fish, etc. Your language ain't too STINKIN good.

[@NickLindner]

I don’t know what the heck is coming out of my mouth when I hookup with a big walleye. I guess it’s some stinky language!

[@mattk2308]

Step 1, obtain $10000 in electronics. Well see ya later!

[@NickLindner]

Do you comment that on every video where someone has a trolling motor and couple graphs? Or just the videos with Livescope? Because you can get a used setup for way way way less than that wild made up number you just pulled out of your butt.

[@mattk2308]

@@NickLindner let's see, $3000 trolling motor 2x $2500 screens, $1000 sonar, batteries, cables, hub, ....yea $10k easy on the basic cheap side. 👌

[@NickLindner]

@@mattk2308 okay, so most walleye boats have a trolling motor, a couple graphs, and batteries. Go watch googan pond fishing videos lol

[@mattk2308]

@NickLindner I'm just saying, your content is focused on how to... and step one appears to be get an absurd amount of electronics to be dependant on for finding and catching fish.

[@NickLindner]

@@mattk2308 how much gear would you prefer I use?
