    I’ve caught well over 200 pounds of walleye this month from the Ohio river in Pennsylvania, only kept about 4 fish, all the rest were released . The biggest was my new pb , 28” 8 lbs 🎣

      @@wh8085 thank you , it’s the one in my profile pic and the one in the thumbnail of my latest video . Caught a 26” 6 lb last night , I thought I finally got the 30” & 10lb + that I’m after because of the way it hit hard and was fighting really good . Was disappointed on the size but hell of a fight in it !

    I went Crappie fishing here in E. Texas yesterday and got to experience some of that rough water. But while Crappie fishing I caught a largemouth that went about 5 lbs. But while I was fighting him I was hearing Richard Gene saying “I don’t know what I got, but one things for sure, it ain’t no Crappie”. 👍😀

    In addition to the fact that they are technically native to the TN River, they've been stocking quite a few walleye in Chickamauga and Watts Bar over the past several years and I bet they've just made their way over time down below Guntersville. Hopefully you'll keep catchin em!

Oh and congratulations on them walleye,,,if you’ll move out in the river channel and fish the 30 s 40 s 50 s and 60 s with your method of sauger fishing , you will get in to bigger walleye and sauger , might have to move your jig weight up a notch like 5/8 , but that same plastic minnow will work.

About 3/8 oz (I like the orange and yellow combo), stick the hook in the mouth, out the grill and skin hook it by the dorsal fin. let er go to the bottom and lift it about 6" - 12" up, let it hover there a second or two and hit the bottom again, rinse and repeat until...WOOO! Take care, Richard!

  • @kevinkev500

    Wow, now you're fishing my world; Walleye and Sauger. Here in the upper Mississippi area of P4 (Red Wing, MN) we fishing them hot, it's one of our main game fish. And you're correct, they are great table fare. My personal rule is any Sauger over 18" or Walleye over 20" goes back. My PB Walleye is 31" and Sauger is 22" but they're rare as hen's teeth but 20" of either is common. FYI- our current water temp is 38 and air temp is 33; the air will get lots cooler but not the water. Great video, straight lines and stay safe.
