I upgraded my boat batteries to lithium last year and could NOT be more happy!
I went with Amped Outdoors' 36V 100Ah trolling motor lithium battery system (which is two 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 batteries in parallel). I was able to shave off roughly 140 pounds 😳 by running those 2 lithiums vs 3 lead or AGM batteries, and of course get some amazing run times:

Which also freed up an extra battery slot in my boat, so I was able to plug in this 130Ah beast (only weighs 31 lbs) to exclusively run all of my electronics - fer dayzzzz 🔋 - instead of running them off of my cranking battery:

So pumped to hear that you’re enjoying the videos! And thanks for taking the time to leave a comment 👊
Nick out there showing all his tricks with the best live imaging shot on the internet. Sharp shooting the walleyes on slip bobber is so much fun. Tight lines girls and boys.
Such a blast. Hope your season is off to a great start!
The sonar overlay on the video deserves a fist bump 👊🏼
It works slick to be able to see what’s all going on! 👊
I love watching Brett, always excited and informative! Also neat to watch a local MN guy, VS the Canada boys who seem to have less pressure on the water.
I really appreciate it, Troy! Pumped that you're enjoying the videos!
I really like that video. I learned some things and it was enjoyable to watch. Thanks, Brett & Nick!
👍🎣🇺🇸
Amazing day of fishing! Thanks again!
Another great video put out by Nick and Brett. I learn something new on every video you guys put out on this channel and ypur personal channel. Keep up the Great content. Thanks!
I love to hear that! Thank you!
Good stuff buddy! Just caught 3 tonight and it was slow. I'll have to bust out the live bait tomorrow and see if I can get on em a little faster
Hope the fish cooperate!
Good video, guys. You make a good team! Mite want to get the sun to shine on the person you are videoing - you were shadowed most of the video. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! An I appreciate the feedback 👊 if I wasn't bald maybe I'd take my hat off hahahah.
Same as after flood waters come in. About 24 to 30 hours and they are all stuffed so you have to cater to them more. Tight lines guys, good video and explanation.
Super interesting! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I hope I never have to fish against you in a Tournament 😊🎣✌️
Hahahha sometimes I get lucky and it works out, but just as often I'm wondering what I could have done differently 😅
Worms always seem to work great during hatches
For sure! Tough to beat.
Great video as always, Brett! But "ready to super-glue the hands and fingers shut again'' went right over my head. I'd like to use that line but I would need to know what it means....LOL. Thanks.
Haha! Not trying to brag, but I have honestly caught so many walleyes this season that I have legit been having to super glue all of the little cuts everywhere shut 😂
Hate fishing during a big hatch!! Like the bobber reeling tip, everyone always seems to set the hook hard!!
It definitely makes it interesting hahah! Thanks Craig!
I look forward to giving your worm technique a try. Thanks for another educational video. You superglue on your plastics?
Thanks for watching! I definitely add a bit of superglue to most of my plastics. It's for sure worth taking the extra few seconds to do so, and saves a ton of time (and plastics) throughout the rest of the day.
Is that a sheephead hat 😮!
Man, I just hate those midges! When you add your leader, do you tie it directly to the braid or do you use a small swivel? Also, what type of snap swivel do you like best? (I'm going casting soon, probably using harnesses and Erie Dearies). Another awesome video, Brett!
They are incredibly annoying! 😅 I use a double-uni knot to attach my fluorocarbon leaders. The exception being glide baits and slip-bobbers...then I'll add a small #10 VMC RS Swivel. Hope you have a great trip!
@@TargetWalleye Thanks, Brett!
Forgot the net?
I should probably use it more, but I don't like to when there's other boats around because it's like waving a flag and saying "Hey, we are catching them over here!" LOL
Love bobber❤
So fun and effective, makes me feel like a little kid every time.
🥵🥵🥵🥵
What song is that? Sweet beat
No One There - Ava Low
Only a 2 -ft slip bobber lead and 8 ft on the other one 🤔
What's the water temp Brett? Thanks
It's been fluctuating a bit lately, but around 57-60 degrees depending on the day and where you're at on the lake.
If I wanted to watch video games I'll give the remote to my grandson
Please do!
what boat you have ?
I have a Lund 2025 Impact XS
i dont want to waste worm its too expensve for me and i do split to half. bro is just throwing extra inches like nobody gives a Sh*t 😭
They're free after a rain storm. 😏
Even a beat up old man like me can pick crawlers at night in the lawn. Absolutely free.
what would "big Al" do in a situation like this, with his no live bait attitude???
The 🐐 would probably SNAP hair jigs with his Popeye arms all day and stick 5 that are 25-27” with a bunch of bonus unders! 🙌
Lol, how true
