Personal Best Walleye on Missouri River
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2020
- Jason Mitchell catches his personal best walleye on the Missouri River south of Bismarck, North Dakota. Will never know the weight of this fish because there wasn’t a scale in the boat but we believe this fish was close to or could have possibly surpassed the North Dakota state record. Incredible experience. The first fish of the morning was a fish that we would guess to be a solid eight pound fish. The second fish was much bigger.
North Dakota has a no cull law that basically prohibits releasing a fish once the fish is in the live well which reduces mortality from anglers upgrading fish. Because we didn’t know the exact weight, we quickly decided to release the fish so hopefully some other lucky angler can experience such an incredible thrill. How big do you think this fish was? We have held many walleyes up to twelve pounds over the years but never personally seen a fish that had this length and girth.

I’ve never had more respect for the decision you made
The most humble face of fishing! I’ve watched this thing like 8 times
🤙
Jason you're a legend for practicing what you preach. Love seeing others clean up the outdoors and get rewarded
The unexpected is at least part of the reason we all fish. Awesome to see someone who has handled more walleyes than most ever will get that excited... love it. Thanks for all you do for the sport, couldn't have happened to a more deserving guy!
Such a beast of a fish. Like I said on facebook, mad respect for releasing that fish. You are one of the best ambassadors this sport has. Thank you!
"Fishing is the best pill to take for Corona" Amen brother. How true. Fishing can help everyones mental state at this time.
The 1 person who dislikes this video must just like not being happy. There isn't a darn thing not to like about this one!
It was the person who threw the garbage in the water
Biggest Walleye on film! That thing is in a different category- the girth. Jason is so HUMBLE.
#WORLDCLASS
I love seeing those big fish swim back down. Thank you! Congrats on that memory and that fish!
This video shakes me up. God damn good job Jason . Gos to show I’m going to assume what’s hooked. You just never know
That's so awesome, and what a great, lifetime memory for two great friends. Isn't that what it is ALL about??
Absolutely incredible! Huge fish! I gotta say idk if there is a more deserving guy than JM to have the ND walleye record if it was. Cool either way! Congrats!
Jason, Congratulations on catching a fish like that. What a great thing to have video of. The expressions on your face after the release are priceless. Thanks for sharing the experience and the words of wisdom of why to release a fish like that.
Watching this made my heart race and I even knew the outcome! Incredible fish. Thanks for throwing it back so average people like me can go back there and dream of catching it!
Incredible fish Jason! Well deserved!
Successful release shows true professionalism. The fish could become a world record
What a fish! I’m so glad you released it! Congratulations!
Congrats on a once in a lifetime fish! Incredible walleye!
Love it man! I caught my personal best walleye on Wednesday at the tailrace. 12.76lbs! And I got it all on video! Beautiful fish
Great video Jason ! Congratulations to you and your friend. I really enjoyed it.
What an absolutely beautiful fish, what dreams are made of... Congrats Jason!
Great job guys!!
Nice fish Jason! I admire your decision. great video!
Absolutely wild.
Wow! Jason, you are da man! What a monster...Congratulations!
Congrats, Jason.
Jason you are a true professional Congratulations on your pb Awesome
What a giant! Great job.
Amazing catch and even better idea releasing it!
When you let that fish go I subscribed to your channel! Good job
Such a great fish and love the additional commentary! Couldn’t have happened for two better guys. Pure class all the way - will remember this one for a very long time.
Nice fish Jason !!
Thank you for your attitude and respect of such a monarch! I live in Bismarck and heard about the fish before you had even gotten off the water that day. I think people in other states believe North Dakotans knife every walleye that enters the boat and nothing could be further from the truth. My dad released a 32" walleye with eggs a couple years ago and I couldn't be prouder of him for doing that. Keep the fishery strong. Let them go, let them grow!
Real important especially on such a changing river. I tried a whole many weekwnds from shore and boat to catch a fish. Just used to lake features.
Great job, all around.
My dad caught a 30.5"x19.5" caught on Green Bay that went 14.33lbs. Looked very similar to this fish.... congrats!
great job in order to catch a fish like that I someone had to release it at 30” your damn right and some day that little girl will catch one of Your big fish excellent job great message to be community
Awesome!
Great video friend
Congratulations Jason! I would say that you definitely got the better side of the Karma coin from the picking up that jug haha.
Huge!
I caught a spawned out female that was 35" long and she weighed 15 1/2 pounds. Definitely not something I will ever forget!
I live in Minot and I think this is great
That's a great story that you will tell your grandkids.
it’s such a monster!! 🍻 from quebec
Dude. Put her in the livewell and get a scale from wherever! That was a giant. 35!?!? So big. Well done
Lol I know that feeling! Might as well pack up the gear after that cause you already got what you came out for all these years hahah
WOW! Well Done... Props to Taylor .. Excellent camera work. Do you ever get to fish with Jason?
I couldn't take just watching. You need to keep that plastic jug in the boat for good luck. Stay safe and God bless.
You should do shore fishing at North Dakota
When in doubt....
every U.S. DOLLAR BILL is exactly 6 inches long, and a gallon of water weights 8.23 Lbs.
Nothing say you can't put a few marks on your rods at select lengths. I have many marked and it's saved MANY an argument....and earned a few beers too! LOL
wow weird you didn't experience that infamous "thunk" when that jig is swinging into that sweet spot 2-3 o'clock on the swing. anyone that never cast swing jigs in river or current big walleye dig and hold in that current. vertical jigging doesn't do justice when u are over the fish not fighting current. fish like that the way he was fishing can straighten hooks if in heavier current. unreal nice job even better it was on camera and not just a big fish story lol
Congratulations! What was the estimated length on it?
Nothing like the big one
Jason,Congrats what an awesome Walleye.What is your presentation when fishing the Salmo Slick Shad?I couldn’t follow your presentation with the close up camera work.Every video I watch,I like to watch your rod and reel presentation;that’s part of how we learn to fish.
At times it can be as simple as casting and reeling but I often just glide or drag the jig a few feet at a time.
What did she measure J? I know it's not scientific, but you're also a man of integrity. Rough guess?
North Dakota State Record
How long did it end up being?
one dam cool story
Did you ever get a length on the fish?
Jason, I would like to know the name of the yellow braid you are using and the leader material. I am in Texas and need some good Information for a Canada trip !! THANK YOU !
Ten pound Nanofil with 14 lb Seagur Fluorocarbon Leader. Good luck!
@@JasonMitchellOutdoors Thank you ! ordered... I have been searching the internet what brand and size swimbait Head is that on the slick shad. I ordered some slick shads, but can't seem find the swimbait jighead you were using. I like the color....

I really wish these outfitters would keep their mouth shut about good spots like this soon as they do that the area ends up fished out and ruins it for everyone else while you and i respect it alot of people keep everything they can
What I don't believe is a professional fisherman going out without all the tools,(i.e. scale and tape measure)
Hardest damn place to catch fish with ever changing bars on Missouri
I can’t believe you didn’t have a scale 🤦🏻♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️. 15 pounds
First
dude, nice fish. Where can I get one of your rods ?
We catch fish this size a few times a year on our local river. Nothing to write home about.
Might mount a 38 inch maybe. Will mount 40 inch. Landed lots of 32inch 35inch . Got pictures and video. Send me your email and I'll send picture and it small video. 95% i have released over 8 or 10 lbs. It's a Very old fish. Nice catch.
Walleye don't get that big
