Hello, Excellent walleye video! My father used to love to tell the story of his first walleye with "the Buster Brown eyes." My uncle would take his family to Walker every year for over 50 years. They would stay at a resort called "Killworry." Could you please, in the next video talk about how you rig your line: hooks, sinkers, spinners & floats? Thank you & Good fishin'!☺
I definitely need to visit here I was out the same week you were on Mille lacs and my girlfriend swear she seen you when we got back and were watching your video she said that she seen your boat but at the time didn’t know and I was upset about that lol I definitely would of said hi and put you on my channel your my biggest inspiration!
Never have tried this will need to sometime Sounded like you just search depth area difference of 4-5 feet do you sit the slip bobber in middle of the depth difference that is being searched? Like if searching 22-26ft do you sit it at around 23-24ft or do yo sit it at 21ft
Should see the smoke up here in Eastern Manitoba and NW Ontario so thick you can cut it some days. Then again I've got fires across the lake to the west, north east and south of me and I jut out into Lake Winnipeg on a peninsula to catch every last bit of smoke coming from whatever way the wind blows.
Tom you and shelbster need to come a little further north to LOTW the bite is on fire right now with a lot of big eyes being caught. The musky are hitting too. This week landed a 31 1/2 12.2 lb giant walleye and many 26-28 inchers. Would make awesome video 👍
Maybe so but aren't the eaters missing, supposedly the ice fishermen took them that the gillnets lining the eastern shore missed, and aren't the only real good fishing spots 15 miles up into the main basin or further?
I’ve been fishing only 5 miles straight out from Morris point on the field so not far at all. The eater size are there as well but you definitely have to weed through a lot of smaller fish. I typically will not keep a walleye under 15 so you have to work at it for sure. But that’s fishing. I’m still using jigs with frozen shiners where most people are pulling cranks or spinners I get bored with that method quickly.
I'm glad you're doing well.. I've been fishing that lake since 1970... Used to be limits at the gap year-round.. then I had to go to oak Island area for limits... then moved to Morson, then had to start fishing the very center of the lake for a good fishing I'm talking 40 plus walleyes a day... I'm just kind of bummed out that great fishing in that lake is not as good as it once was.
Brian I’m not sure how it was back then I wasn’t born until 72 but I do know the gap is being hit hard. I tend to find my own fish by that I mean I don’t fish within a mile of ANYONE I just seem to do a lot better finding my own spots that aren’t pressured and seem to get more quality fish by doing it my way instead of being in a pack of boats where everyone is doing the same thing. I have seen many photos and heard lots of stories of how good it used to be in the old days but so much has changed since then it’s no surprise the lake isn’t the same. Just technology alone has changed the lake with electronics allowing a person to find them so easily but the list goes on and on as to why. Great chat👍
Great video Tom! Seen you out there. I told my wife and kids I thought it was you. We also had great luck out there. Curious if you found any muskies? We tried one afternoon no luck.
The family and I were on Cold Lake yesterday in Alberta and if it weren't for being skeptical of the weather due to the heat and calmness we would have been caught out in a mini "hurricane". The smoke can end any-fricken-time now but people need to pay attention to the clouds. The distant clouds are barely seen through the smoke on good days and the weather networks have not been too correct on the forecasts for the past few days. This years vacation has been very slow for fishing since the 2 month long heat wave created a "dog day summer". I've been trying a lot of your tactics but the fish seem to be just too full since the schools of bait fish are abundant.
When bite gets tough like that due to abundance of bait fish change tactics to more aggressive style like jigging raps/shiver minnows or something that rattles it becomes more of a reaction strike. Basically you’re irritating them into biting. It works most of the time.
Went out to Leech Lake a month ago with my dad. We caught three walleye, 5 bass including a three pounder, a dozen northern pike, and lots of perch.
Nice
I booked a trip there after this video
always love seeing content from my favorite lake, thanks Tom
When I'm out fishing sometimes I pretend I am Tom. Except I don't get the same results. Lol
Me too Amigo!!! 😁
@@retiredboxingref7620 I never get to say "fish on" followed by a happy giggle. 😊

Same up here in Eastern Ontario. Very smoky. No wind as well. Water in the Ottawa has cleared up.

U can also do similar techniques in portage and sucker bay on the deep weedlines during the day
I was up guiding on leech last weekend, the lake never disappoints!
Another great video. I want to go to Leech Lake and that big resort/marina now!!!

This was my very same question. Mark the fish, drop the line and stop the boat, how deep was slip bobber set at if searching 22’-26’ depth ?
Would like to see you up at Vermillion
Ha, glad to see the Musky net in the boat!
are you able to go out on those big lakes with winds 10mph+ in that boat?
Why do you pull line out by hand when fighting a fish?
Hey Tom. Thanks again for your efforts. We love your feed👍 Would you mind telling me what net you are using please? Thanks for your time.
I love leech we go there every year the first week of june
Smoke is down in central iowa as well
Great video awesome information
You love to see it tom
Hey Tom was wondering if you ever use (hot n tots)? Won a couple tournaments using them
Another great video , good info also liked the intro .
What's "infamous" about Leech lake?
cool video, nice cinematography.
Another good one Tom

Have to talk my fishing partner into trying this method. Enjoyed the video. Lots to learn here.

whats the best video to show your Humminbird Helix 2d Sonar settings? i only have sonar, no SI or DI
Y saw one pass couple weeks ago lots of things on 2 d vs down imaging search and you find it
@@sylvainlaurence1554 do you know if we suppose to use max mode or clear mode? The video didn't specify
If you’re 10 ft or less I’d go clear mode any deeper go max mode from my experience works best for me👍
Will be at Middle Eau Claire Lake this whole weekend and look forward using your tips and tricks!
I've never fished Leech Lake, but I've spent a lot of time on Cass Lake...great lake. Would love to see you film a video there.
Awesome... Let me know next time you practically drove right by my house in the Grand Rapids area to get there...😜
About a week ago I was at a lake next to leech lake
Dude I was just there. You should try some of the smaller lakes like kabekona lake, they are super clear and have good walleye too
Need to get ms Shelby out and get after some muskie

👍👍👍
Curious. Have you considered getting into walleye tournaments?
Regardless great video as always
Infamous means well known for bad qualities)) lol leech is famous for good fishing not infamous
