I haven't been in years, but Lake Eerie used to be about the best spot ever if you wanted big Walleye...a friend of mine's uncle runs a reputable charter business, me and my grandpa went out with him one day, got a bunch of Walleye, someone else with us got a 9 lb rainbow, and another guy got a 7 lb brown...the biggest eye of the day though was over 18 lbs, and a young kid caught it, I got a 14.86 Lb, another kid got a 17 lb...and lots in the 7-12lb range. I thought it was an amazing day...but when we got back, my friend's uncle, the charter guide, says something along the lines of, "Sorry for the slow day fellas...here's half your money back...I promise it'll be better next time" and gives everyone half their money back. I think there was 4 of us on charter, and we kept our limit, and threw lots back too. And also got those bonus trout. He was also saying during certain times of the year, if you flyover in a helicopter, you can see dark spots on the water that are literally "schools" of walleye. This was all many years ago though...have no clue what it's like now there.
That experience kind of ruined Walleye fishing for me...most of the ones I catch now are like 1lb in the local river, and it's like, "How is this even the same species lol" Got a few OK ones over the years, but nothing like that day on Lake Eerie. Maybe time to think about another trip!
Aaron Henderson it's still awesome, but haven't seen or heard of any 18lbs + walleye come out recently...also haven't been trolling the web to see if anyone's caught them that big. Anything that big take a picture or two, take your measurements and toss her back!
They dont care about the walleye because the salmon fishery is the $$. All those salmon fingerlings need to run the walleye gauntlet to get back to the ocean. Salmon protein is what grows them so big.
Yes! Great video. I love BIG river Walleye!! Great catch man! Hey, it didn't sound like you were too hip to the Flicker Minnow. Let me tell you, the Flicker Minnow and Flicker Shad are two of the best lure designs I've ever used. It's not uncommon that I will fish with one of those baits ALL DAY LONG, and catch every species of fish in the lake, or river. NO KIDDING! These baits are the bomb!! If you ever troll, theses are the baits! Use the minnow for colder water and switch to the shad baits when the water gets mid 60's. I have a collection of worn out Flicker shads/minnows from catching SO many fish on them. EVERYTHING bites these baits! Love the show. I have turned on all of my fishing buddies to your channel!!! Keep on Rockin!
love waking up to "New from Uncut Angling" notification on my phone. great vid to kick start my day. it drives my wife crazy when I watch fishing videos and then spend the remainder of my day fishing 😂

It's not that they don't care about the Walleye fishery, it's that WDFW is focused on Salmon and Steelhead recovery in the Columbia Watershed. Walleye are an invasive species in the Columbia, and are treated accordingly. What's interesting is that studies have shown that predation by smallmouth bass and walleye on salmonid smolts is actually pretty minimal...so hypothetically, the 2 fisheries might be able to coexist. Interesting topic for sure!
Man I miss Banks and Lk. Roosevelt bad, great video like always! You're saying everything I've been saying for years! Such an amazing fishery, I went constantly when I was out there for school such a beautiful area too, I told guys back here in the midwest about people out there hating "spiny rays" "get them spiny rays out of my trout fishery!!" to a kid from the upper midwest that fishery was and still is a gold mine.
I grew up as a right hander reeling with the left hand. I had to learn the hard way that I can't reel with my right hand after I bought my first bait cast reel for a RH.
Kept hoping you'd stick around in ND! I'll see you next winter when you come to chase big perch! If you want me to paint some flicker minnows, hit me up. DH Custom Baits
Rufus stole the show! Very nice walleye...tournament clips looked like Taro was planting fish in all your spots...FXR gear is insanely cool...yet another fantastic vid. It's remotely possible that the music is starting to get a bit mellow....maybe ask your creative consultant what he thinks over a couple tubs of ice cream, you know, heavenly hash it out....waiting for the next one, keep up the great work!
Maybe them not having a limit is why there are fish getting so big...more fish taken out is giving other fish more food perhaps? I know that overfishing isnt good but if they dont have limits theres probably not alot of people fishing for them
It's the same story down here in Tennessee, I live less than 5 minutes from where the world record was caught (Old Hickory Lake). Nobody seriously targets them down here, we catch them fairly regularly but it is looked upon as bycatch while we are targeting smallmouth on the river, it's not uncommon to land one in the 10-15 lb range in the low light hours.

Canada does it right when comes to the care of a fishery. Did a fly in to Ontario east of Cat Lake 11 yrs ago. Best fishing of my life, Chicago can be over fished in some areas and you will see people walking out with bluegills and baby bass to eat.
The thing you got to remember is that anytime fish are mostly caught and released their population will grow to very large numbers. Especially when there is ample food and structure for them to survive. I have fished Oregon and Washington many times. The Walleye eat tons of Salmon smolts and that is where the northwest G&P focuses their money. You cant believe how passionate the folks out there are about their salmon fishing. The walleye is a threat to their native fish. I doubt they want to eliminate the walleye, but they are getting overpopulated and are tilting the balance on the Salmon fisheries. Seems crazy to some, but that's the wildlife climate out there. I'm from Nebraska and those walleye out there in Oregon and Washington are a dream destination. Its truly magical. Its a bucket list destination for any hard core walleye fisherman. The next world record walleye WILL come from that river!
"[The Columbia River] is the best place in the world to catch a 20 lb. walleye...it's the only place that 20 lb. walleye have been documented..." "Hello, Washington, I'm from Manitoba, I'm all the way here to fish for walleyes..." 9:56 -Aaron Weibe, Canada's Top Angler "
yea i dont give a fuck about weight.. our land is better and greater than the states.. and i love it. freedom is something the us will never afford lol
I'm from Washington and I have to admit, I didn't even know we had walleye in the state, I thought that was more of a mid-west fish. As others have said, the no-limit thing is probably an attempt to reduce the impact another non-native predator fish has on the native steelhead population. Lots of fisheries in the PNW have almost completely lost their native populations when other fish move in, especially bull trout, kokanee, steelhead, and even cutthroat in some places.
They dont care about the walleye because the salmon fishery is the big $$. All those salmon fingerlings need to run the walleye gauntlet to get back to the ocean. Salmon protein is what grows them so big.
THANK YOU...right handed people using right hand retrieve...I will never understand. I watch a lot of fishing youtubers and the majority of them do the hand swap. It drives me crazy.

Aaron should do more fishing with fans. If I knew he was coming to a place near me I would make it a point to go meet him. So, if your ever in Northern Alaska Aaron, hit me up.
Left vs right hand reel. I prefer I bait casters with the crank on the right side because I like to hold the reel in my left palm. I like my spinning reels left hand crank. I am right handed so I have to make the hand transfer when using my bait casters.
I love what he said about the wrong hand reeling thing. I hate it when people cast with their non-dominant hand and they switch over to reel. So many people do it, just buy the right reel.
Can make a video or direct me to a video of how you use your jigging raps? I fish walleye religiously with fin s minnows and crawler harnesses but the jigging rap has me intrigued.
I live in Washington no further than 30 minutes from McNary damn and it’s a shame to see how the lifted limit on walleye and smallmouth has affected the Colombia. Smallmouth are rare to find above 3 pounds and walleye are getting harder to find. The reason they removed the limit is to help the salmon fisheries population in state, but the walleye and bass are not the problem. There are too many native American nets killing salmon, and too many dams that don’t have fish latters. It’s disgraceful that to see people shit on every species in the rivers just to save salmon when there are much better solutions to the problem that don’t involve killing off native species of fish like walleye, pike minnow, and smallmouth.
Aaron, I do a lot of fishing in Manitoba mainly. I've always used spinning rods, looking into getting a bait caster, what rod and reel would you recommend for a beginner into bait casting? Fishin hole has their sale this week, was hoping to pick up some stuff then! Any help greatly appreciated
For bass or catfish or predators? A spinning reel is a better tool for most applications on the light to medium scale...and baitcaster takes over from medium to heavy since the design manages thicker line better.
Uncut Angling my main fishing is walleye, however with the recent purchase of a bigger boat the plan is to attack some bigger lakes, maybe venture into Ontario a bit. Never really tried bass fishing, however would be into it and trying out some trout fishing. I do a lot of trolling which is why I thought a bait caster would be better for that application then a spinning rod
I wish I could fish those waters. I have the rock river in Jefferson County WI. We struggle to catch 24"ers and all are few and far between. The company is good tho so we keep on chipping away at it. #FishEthically

Dog burped walleye load lol
You are the GOAT of UA-cam fisherman
funniest video ever. like out of no where the dog berps up fish slim
Morgan Baird fish semen*
it was so random hahaha

So crazy that they don't care about such a beautiful fish! Walleye will always be one of my favorite fish if not my favorite.

Rufus needs his own segment where he talks about Aaron's deepest secrets haha
I live in tri cities Washington right on the Columbia. I love fishing walleye
Very Nicely Done! I'll have to get down there and try it out sometime.
They are doing the same thing on the Clarkfork dams and in Idaho on Pend Oreille. Pretty crazy, have lots in the 10-15 pound range.
Crazy there's no limit on Walleye! Different than what I'm used to
literally wait all week to watch uncut favorite show on you tube im having manny withdrawal u gotta get that man back on the show!!
love waking up to "New from Uncut Angling" notification on my phone. great vid to kick start my day. it drives my wife crazy when I watch fishing videos and then spend the remainder of my day fishing 😂
Crazy they don't manage their walleyes over there. What a beast! Nice Job Aaron!

what's gonna work? teamwork! right on Aaron, the best!!!
Next trip head east to the st. Lawrence river ny to catch the next world record Muskie!! Awesome video!!
I use the heck out of Kit's Tackle jigs. They are the way to go. The marabou versions they make are super effective on trout. Nice video guys.
Man I miss Banks and Lk. Roosevelt bad, great video like always! You're saying everything I've been saying for years!

nice walleyes im from the midwest wow no walleye limit crazy 🤤
Hermiston, Oregon on the Columbia as well, my 13.44 got beat by 14.98 for big fish in a small local tournament we put on. The Giants are here.
9:02 dog: "I DONT KNOW WHAT WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT BUT IF YOU'RE EXCITED THEN IM EXCITED TOO!"
I had tears in my eyes when the dog burped up the walleye seaman on you 😂😂😂😂😂
not like they manage our walleye fishery here in MB either
i live an hour south of the Columbia. never tried for walleye but if you come back down we will go look for 9ft white surgeon
You were in Washington? Nice!! I live 2 hours away from Moses Lake!
That dog is adorable
Dude, these videos you do are awesome. I love the format and your style! Keep em coming!
Another great video in the books. Keep em coming.
Great fishing Aaron! Good video too!
IMHO, Chad came off as a shady dude, but still give him props for taking you out fishing.
Chad is legitness
Shady as in overweight I assume ....
Never ever would I have thought that you would come sooooo close to my home. 2 hours away
Realest Fishing Channel on UA-cam hands down.
I grew up as a right hander reeling with the left hand. I had to learn the hard way that I can't reel with my right hand after I bought my first bait cast reel for a RH.
That's awesome, I only live a couple hours from there.

Wiebe ur the man. Next time you drive by Fargo on your way to a fishing trip, take me with you!!!!
and here in alberta we need to apply for tags to be allowed to keep a walleye. Think it's pretty similar to deer hunting
It's the same story down here in Tennessee, I live less than 5 minutes from where the world record was caught (Old Hickory Lake). Nobody seriously targets them down here, we catch them fairly regularly but it is looked upon as bycatch while we are targeting smallmouth on the river, it's not uncommon to land one in the 10-15 lb range in the low light hours.

Lol no regulation on walleye??? Honestly the best fresh water fish to eat
Totally agree with the switching hands to reel deal...makes no sense. I can work a bait so much better with my strong hand.

so many foreigners just moved to that river to poach it up
You mean, like, Canadians?
most definitely not lol we have the best fishing and water in the world here🍁👍

BOOM!!! Walleye!!
This is my backyard! Hoped you enjoyed it :)
He nailed it with what he said about most bass fishermen using the wrong hand.
Star of the show, Rufus! Get that dog some more lines!! And a puke bucket.
After seeing what that dog was licking up, I'm a bit concerned with what he spit up on you... great content once again!
What a fish! Nice catch!

WA is all about trout, steelhead, and salmon fishing. Especially in western WA.
as always awesome video! best fishing channel on youtube. period.
Dang, best fishing channel on youtube killin it like always
THANK YOU...right handed people using right hand retrieve...I will never understand. I watch a lot of fishing youtubers and the majority of them do the hand swap. It drives me crazy.
great video EVERY TIME!?- what's the walleye record there? my P.B. in the Detroit River, 13.2ibs. for me, that's a monster! keep 'em tight guy's!
Your job is amazing dude, congrats from Spain, I love what you do.
By the way you have a new subscriber ;)
Yup my bro caught a 7 pound walleye on the Columbia good fishery
No limit on walleye!? That is insane!
Andrew Delorme that's for sure. Here in Alberta you have to have drawn tags for some lakes.
Damn that's no fun. I fish NY and Ontario so I can keep 3 or 4 every time depending on where I go.
Coyote hammer but getting a limit usually doesn't take very long in the waters I'm fishing

Great way to salvage a crummy tourney! Landing some eater 'eyes and a nice 10 pound fatty!
Where's manny?
Left hand baitcasters used to be uncommon, it is hard to switch hands after doing something for so long
Left vs right hand reel. I prefer I bait casters with the crank on the right side because I like to hold the reel in my left palm. I like my spinning reels left hand crank. I am right handed so I have to make the hand transfer when using my bait casters.
Amazing vids man
Never laughed so hard at an uncut angling video. haha dog burp up
Always a good video 👍
I love what he said about the wrong hand reeling thing. I hate it when people cast with their non-dominant hand and they switch over to reel. So many people do it, just buy the right reel.
It's just how bass fisherman do it...shouldn't let it affect you that much lol
Also it's not even a conscious decision but it feels better for me to reel right hold left
Just picked up a couple new kits jiggs at scheels
Rufus is awesome - especially when he spit up on you :)
Can make a video or direct me to a video of how you use your jigging raps? I fish walleye religiously with fin s minnows and crawler harnesses but the jigging rap has me intrigued.
Uncut Angling has featured them in past videos. Linder's Angling Edge on youtube has jigging rap walleye videos too.

Let's go fishing!
hey uncut angling what do you think about minnesota
I need to see that crank
Hey, I watch you and all of the goon squads videos, and you guys make some great videos, what app do you use to edit your videos?
Adobe Premiere
thanks
Hey A-Aron... do you ever have issues with the 10# PP getting stuck in your line roller? I use 15# on all my spinning rigs for that reason.

I wish I could fish those waters. I have the rock river in Jefferson County WI. We struggle to catch 24"ers and all are few and far between. The company is good tho so we keep on chipping away at it. #FishEthically
Rufus is one sick puppy! (pun intended)
damn i live about 15 mintues from moses lake i wish i could of met you
13.7 lb bay of quinte yesterday
I just recently caught a 28.5 inch walleye pre spawn.
Aaron, whats your favorite fly fishing pattern?
Wooly Bugger, what else is there?
what about upper Niagara river walleye!! used to hold world record! In 1943 of course but that's beyond the point
it's intriguing.....our friend Paul Castellano guides there....
