You're by far the absolute best at breaking it all down for the beginner all the way to the pros. out there. And even tho the "pros" won't admit it, you're definitely educating them as well. I was kinda on the fence about the di and you absolutely sold me on getting it now. Thank you for giving up some of your secrets! Not many guys out there willing to give it up like you do.
Tom, another great video. Thanks again for taking the time to record these spots on side imaging, down imaging, sonar and the camera. It really helps to see all the electronics come into play to show you what is down there. Reading and interpreting my electronics is the most valuable skill I can use, and your videos are extremely helpful in that regard. Thanks.
I laugh when you say You are done fishing because Shelby is hungry. NOT! Say it like it is. Shelby needs a land break! I fish with my husband enough to know! Oh and we so enjoy your shows. You have given us some useful tips. Which show we are never too old to learn!
Awesome!! Finally got the boat rigged with all the electronic goodies, so cant wait to put it all together and catch a fish with it!! Powerfull stuff!! Keep the vid's coming, maybe one on the live scope also!! Thankyou Tom!!👍
This video/vod is just another classic reason you're the best in the bizz Tom! Just a quintessential professional at breaking it down for an amateur like me. Thank you. 🙏 I remain hopeful that you will one day venture to my neighborhood in Ontario, Canada. Just let me know how much $ and we'll roll out the red carpet. I'm sure that you've heard of the Bay of Quinte? Keep up the magnificent work! ;) p.s. Bring the whole family... Hi Shelby & Sirley! 👋🎣🎏
How in the world do you also find time to catch huge muskies too? The best channel out there. I still can't find the walleyes after the water cooled in the river. Thanks again, Tom for a great video!
Thank u for being so detailed in explaining and showing what kind of structures and humps and at what depths etc. to find walleyes. I've watched other guys here on UTUBE and they would only talk about the lures used; nothing on the structures or depths, which was ok but not as thorough as u. So thank u. Keep it up! Ur doing a great job! 😀👍😀👍
Good morning Tom, I'm a Hayward resident and enjoy watching your videos and really like to see you release almost all of your fish. Can you touch on the importance of catch and release in the Hayward lakes area? Like you say in your video we dont have clumps of a hundred walleyes in any of our lakes. Thank you.
Happy Day Mr. Tom. Switched to mono last weekend like you suggested and beat their brakes off. Great information on how you go about your business. Have a good one my friend👊
Great shots with the underwater camera. This is so helpful to me in learning how to read and mark fish with the DI AND SI. With the hyper rattles do You tie on direct or use a small swivel? I just received 3 I ordered for a trip we are taking this next week. Thanks Tom
Tom you are doing great. I like the summer and I am on my way north October 9th and hope the turn has hit. the education is fantastic for me. Northern WI Eagle river area, your on point for me. Thank you.
Great videos for walleye keep up the good work. My favorite part of summer is fishing at family cottage for walleye. Found perfect spot on the lake I constantly hit walleye and big bass. I avoided all the areas people normally fish and have had more luck. What else you suggest I use for catching walleye. I usually use leeches and have the most luck. In a week I'll go through a few dozen leeches and you suggest just tying hook to line and avoid using a clasp for the lure
Just discovered your channel. You do a fantastic job of presenting information. I am looking forward to watching more of your work. PS: I hope you got Shelby fed. :)
Absolutely enjoy this kind of content. Some people may not like it as much since there's little actual fishing but so educational. You ever catch those smallies on the hyper-rattle?
I’ve started using this technique and it is a blast. However I don’t have any Hyper Rattles atm, I’ve been using Rapala Jigging Raps. Love the videos keep up the great work.
Any insight on where you would fish for Walleye on Truman lake in MO? It’s totally different then what you’re used to, but any insight would be awesome!
New to walleye in the river here in late summer. Got standup jigs and emerald shiners, would you reccomend the swim jigs that have the littleright angle wre and gold spnner blade?
Hey Tom, I'm just wondering what your settings are for your down imaging and 2d. You do a great job with your videos and I enjoy your content alot. Thanks
Tom, what was the actual date you were doing this video. I’m just trying to sort out what “mid vs late” summer is. Taking first fall walleye trip to north mn, ( usually go in June) and trying to figure out starting depths. Very informative and well produced video brother, and I hope surly isn’t hook shy after this trip.. lol. God bless and tyvm!!
What an awesome instructional video! Do you have video on how you have helix setup? Why is side imagining not effective in rocks vs sand? I have a very old 2d sonar unit lowrance elite 4x 😀 so this technology is all new to me
Using a No. 9 jointed floating Rapala. It says it will sink to 4 feet, depending upon its speed of retrieving it. Is that 4 foot it sinks to derived at in any straight line???? Say you attached it to a 25lb. Downrigger ball, at 40ft. down, will that rapala sink to 44ft. Or will it stay in line with the DR ball????
I have recently been steered to your channel and have just tried to absorb as much great info as I can! I grew up walleye fishing as a kid on one of your favorite Hayward Lakes. I have a Humminbird Helix 5 DI & SI gen 2 along with an older Lowrance LMS 520C. I can't seem to find the pods of fish that you showcase. I've tried 3 different times and just can't find them. How do you start fishing if you can't find what you are looking for? I always grew up being taught to look for weeds and structure but not worry about graphing fish. What are your thoughts? Keep up the great work with the informative videos. I have learned more from you in the last month or so that I never new was a "thing" in walleye fishing than in the rest of my life. As a note, I have been able to pick up a couple small walleyes and a perch with the jiggin' rap, but just can't find any pods. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks for all of your information!
If my lake has no humps.....should I be looking for any drop off? My lake has one deep basin, surrounded by 2 flats and a bay. Got one 30 ft flat that's clean, one 5-8 ft deep flat loaded with weeds, and a weedy bay around 4-5 ft deep. The basin is like 90 feet down. I have so much trouble finding walleyes, and get only like 1-2 per year, but they always perfect eaters or over 25". Would love some help with this lake.
Man I absolutely love this channel.
Your the best in the buisiness! Today's Al Linder! Keep teaching don't become to much of a salesman!
Linder talk to much for nothing and Christian things sucks

I wish I could fish with this dude. I hope your Channel keeps growing Tom you’re the best.
I'm glad the star of the show is back!👍👍
"Mr.Surly", missed him
One of the best fishing videos I have seen this year.
You really are the GOAT of Walleye fishing.
Simply amazing! Glad you brought the underwater camera into this video. Really enjoyed the tutorial and I am now convinced you are a fishing guru.
I laugh when you say You are done fishing because Shelby is hungry. NOT! Say it like it is. Shelby needs a land break! I fish with my husband enough to know! Oh and we so enjoy your shows. You have given us some useful tips. Which show we are never too old to learn!
Yes, Tom is the best at sharing the how tos and when ,wheres And whys! Its exactly why we can learn to be great at fishing too
Watching your videos gives me so much confidence

I would like to hear tactics for reservoirs also. I’ve been struggling locating them in late summer
Great video. I like the mix between electronics, underwater video, and fish catches. You really do a great job!
Digging the Van Halen tshirt, Shelby 🤘🤘🤘
How in the world do you also find time to catch huge muskies too? The best channel out there. I still can't find the walleyes after the water cooled in the river. Thanks again, Tom for a great video!
Nice video as always Tom! The Shelbster! Nice Van Halen shirt!
Mr. Tom, Your a great teacher!! Love learning about fishing!!! Not fishing yet in northern Michigan. But soon.
VERY VERY EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO!!!! Thanks 🙏
Best electronics video I have ever seen
Thank u for being so detailed in explaining and showing what kind of structures and humps and at what depths etc. to find walleyes. I've watched other guys here on UTUBE and they would only talk about the lures used; nothing on the structures or depths, which was ok but not as thorough as u.
So thank u. Keep it up! Ur doing a great job! 😀👍😀👍
Best fishing channel I’ve ever seen thanks
man i love the underwater footage, need to bring my Marcum with me more often
Awesome videos.cant wait to try the
Snap jigging in MN in a couple weeks. Can't get enough of your techniques and tactics. Keep up the great work.
U are just the best teacher ever!!! I learn so much from you so thank you !!
Great training on using the electronics. Thanks for all the good training. I'll apply it to my Garmin.
Best fishing UA-camr EVER. Keep it up Tom!
Tom please take me fishing. Teach and show me your magical walleye wisdom. I will drive from Michigan. Love the dog fishing with you also

One of the most informative videos I've ever seen. Subscribed!
Happy Day Mr. Tom. Switched to mono last weekend like you suggested and beat their brakes off. Great information on how you go about your business. Have a good one my friend👊
Most informative videos on youtube. Will only get more and more recognition. Keep up the amazing work Tom!
Tom...aka Sensei - that was a superb video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You truly are a walleye enthusiast!
A dog named Surly? Okay I'm hooked.
Enjoy your video immensely! Thanks for all your time and great information.
Best Channel on the UA-cam!
This is so informative that it’s entertaining.
Great shots with the underwater camera. This is so helpful to me in learning how to read and mark fish with the DI AND SI. With the hyper rattles do You tie on direct or use a small swivel? I just received 3 I ordered for a trip we are taking this next week.
Thanks Tom
Per his recommendations in the past....Snap swivel, looped through the back hole (lure has two of them, located on top).
Awesome video very helpful in many ways
Great video learn a lot from watching this channel
Tom you are doing great. I like the summer and I am on my way north October 9th and hope the turn has hit. the education is fantastic for me. Northern WI Eagle river area, your on point for me.
Thank you.
Great information camera shot was pretty neat to see the fish thanks for information in all your videos
Love it ,,,, will start watching sonar a lot more. Thanks!!
Another great, beneficial video. I appreciate your work Tom !

Man thanks, you really helped answer a lot of questions that have been running in my head.
Marcum camera show just what you said. Neat!
Absolutely love this channel..thank you , Tom
Love what you do. Especially like to see what you look for on sonar.
Very informative. Thank you!
This video was amazing, detailing how to break down and find fish.
Tom you should try fishing on the tiger cat flowage
Awesome video..lots of helpful information👌👍
Great advice as usual.
Awesome video. I wonder if these techniques work in shallower lakes with 15 to 35 feet max depths - not as many distinct bottom features.
Just discovered your channel. You do a fantastic job of presenting information. I am looking forward to watching more of your work. PS: I hope you got Shelby fed. :)
Thanks for watching
Great info as always Tom. Thx for what you do
Perfect timing for this video in trying two new lakes this weekend my lake is to deep and clear makes for difficult fishing during day
Absolutely enjoy this kind of content. Some people may not like it as much since there's little actual fishing but so educational. You ever catch those smallies on the hyper-rattle?
What electronic fish finder system are you using? And what is the camera system?
Very informational video, learning a lot from you. Thanks!
Best channel. Thanks for the material. 👍
I’ve started using this technique and it is a blast. However I don’t have any Hyper Rattles atm, I’ve been using Rapala Jigging Raps. Love the videos keep up the great work.
Thanks Tom. I will be trying this today. Last full day in Hayward.
Love this channel so much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge we just limited out using this strategy on a northern MN lake
Fantastic lesson !
Outstanding video young man!
Great video! do you have to run two transducers to have multiple screens showing sonar, down imaging, and chart?
Wish to see more underwater videos~
That's the good stuff right there. I hope I am able to utilize this in a week or so on a local reservoir for some late summer eyes
THIS was a good walleye video
Any insight on where you would fish for Walleye on Truman lake in MO? It’s totally different then what you’re used to, but any insight would be awesome!
dono how tom continues to have so much enthusiasm over small walleye in every vid
Good info! Thanks for sharing.
New to walleye in the river here in late summer. Got standup jigs and emerald shiners, would you reccomend the swim jigs that have the littleright angle wre and gold spnner blade?
That was an awesome video, thanks for the education!!
This was an incredible video!!! Thank you

Awesome video
Tom, great searching tips!!!! Will the "depth highlight" feature work with Navionics? Or is it just a Lakemaster/ base map(not to accurate) option.
Awesome episode. Deets.
Using a No. 9 jointed floating Rapala. It says it will sink to 4 feet, depending upon its speed of retrieving it. Is that 4 foot it sinks to derived at in any straight line????

Tom love your vids ! When do you use lead core vs bottom walker ? Thanks
Hey Tom I was wondering could you show a pod of them walleyes like that in +FISH ID mode just to show us what they look like on that mode
It’s a peace of sh*t that’s what it is. Why even bother
Easy Kyle
Another great job thanks
Must be nice to have connections. You cant find the larger size Hyper Rattles anywhere!

Do the pods of fish stay in the same location for long or do they constantly move around.
Tom, do you have many cribs or man made structure in the lakes you fish? Do you generally fish them and if so, how?
Cool footage. In deeper water is side imaging not as effective?
Nice job you Three! ...
If my lake has no humps.....should I be looking for any drop off? My lake has one deep basin, surrounded by 2 flats and a bay.
