    Amazing! Reminded me of the Chesapeake Bay when bluefish and speckled trout would chase bait fish to the surface. I also cringed every time I saw you unhooking the popper from one of those bass. I'm glad you didn't get hooked! Thanks for sharing your video! Dave

      I’m always nervous around all the treble hooks. The smallmouth bad don’t make it easy to unhook them.

      Good luck! Sand flats and topwater baits are a good place to start.

    Loving the channel! I'm south in pool 13, any chance you could share some tips on locating fish in the main channel? It's my biggest downfall as an angler.

    • @AnglerX
      @AnglerX  2 роки тому

      That's something I can talk about in a video sometime but in general your looking for major current breaks, the right amount of current and some sort of cover with food. Rip rap banks and wingdams are the some of the go to spots but the flow has to right. When the river is up the main channel can be tough to fish.

      It makes catching pretty easy! Nice when you don't have to work for them.

    Man how many did you catch that day? I’ve never had a walleye on topwater. Insane day!

    Never had a walleye on a topwater ran into a similar situation on pool 4 this evening but they were largemouth

    • @AnglerX
      @AnglerX  2 роки тому

      They are a blast when they are schooled up and feeding!

    Topwater white bass can be so much fun this time of year great stuff! I have caught a lot of walleye on topwater in the past mostly in Canada on walking baits, had a couple evening where the walleye were flying out of the water hitting the baits so hard just insane

    • @AnglerX
      @AnglerX  2 роки тому +1

      That's crazy! I have never heard of walleye hitting topwater. It does make sense that they would especially if they are after suspended schools of bait.

    • @benczarnecki9406
      @benczarnecki9406 2 роки тому

      @@AnglerX yeah it is pretty incredible when you get on them on top! The places that I have caught them the best on top water are actually inflows on lakes with relatively shallow water, like 3-6 feet deep. Throwing the walking baits and wake baits up shallow in the flow has worked very well especially in slightly stained or tea stained water up north. I have a retired Zara spook that I caught probably 40+ topwater walleye on and is one of my favorite lures in my collection, tight lines!

    I've caught a couple walleye on a war eagle night spinnerbait fast retrieve just bubbling under the surface, my nephew caught a 7lb 14oz 28" walleye on a tributary of Wisconsin river on a spinnerbait while going for bass/ northerns, i might have to add a couple of poppers to my arsenal to try.

    • @AnglerX
      @AnglerX  2 роки тому

      I've caught a few on spinnerbaits before as well. This one was in only a couple feet of water when it hit my popper.

    Lance you might find it funny but my largest Walleye 28 inch was caught on a white 1/2 oz spinner bait when I was Northern Pike fishing. I have caught Walleye on a fly rod but not a top water popper.

    • @AnglerX
      @AnglerX  2 роки тому

      I'll bet that was a surprise to see that giant walleye on your spinnerbait! Thats an awesome fish!
