No doubt! That's usually my game plan, but only having 3 hours had me sketched out lol. Looking back at it, that should have been my move so I didn't start scrambling and have the wheels off off this round!
@@jonrudolph6814 have DEFINITELY noticed a big difference in more bites around here in central MN on the clear, zebra-mussel infested lakes. Made me an instant believer!
@TargetWalleye this feels like me this year lol. I have a small tournament coming up this weekend in hayward, WI. Maybe I will have some better luck. Better luck next time.
I know you were reluctant to take us along in a tourey but glad you are! It's not so much the monster fish we come to see, its just spending time in the boat and sharing the ride, come what may! Best of luck....there are a couple of tanks out there waiting!!
Sometimes. Super windy days it can be a dream to have it on a pole instead so you can position the boat upwind of the fish/structure, and then cast back with the wind at them. Also super cool to be able to point it backwards when pulling bottom-bouncers, etc.
"Derby starts in less than five minutes an I have to pooo" Sounds like taking my yellow lab Pheasant hunting,lol must be the excitement of the hunt or in your case derby👍 Looks like the lund seat needs to visit a upholstery shop...
That ….. was hard to watch man that was brutal you got luck like mine, look at this way though your worst day was still triple digits you’ll find em !!!
Wait until you see my luck in round 2 😅 some wild shenanigans happen lol. And no doubt man, I was so flustered and frustrated, but shoot I shouldn't complain anytime walleyes grace me with their presence in the boat!
@@tjsguideservice LOL. I don't care if you had fished the lake 1,000,000 times before, your round 1 bag would have still been wildly impressive! Amazing man!
Great bait! I haven’t played with it enough on fish near bottom, but have had days where the suspended fish love it being “bopped” with little twitches making it sort of walk the dog and wag.
@@TargetWalleye very effective and versatile with the short pops on suspended fish. I caught a few last Saturday on a small lake off bottom just making it hover, but popping it a little harder more like a shiver minnow. It still got their attention that way. Good luck out there 🤙
I have a bunch of different scents that I play with, but the best for me on this trip was adding Bait Pop (lavender shad). I liked the purple-y flakes and glitter coming off the bait when I snapped it hard with a lot of these fish chasing smelt around. And the little tube just made it super convenient to jam in there with no mess. Spendy stuff tho!
Dirtbags!?! 😂😂. Got my attention right from the get go! Good luck!! Great idea for a video series from three of my favorites.
Hahaha nothing but love for those fellas. But also, dirtbags 😂👊 glad you’re enjoying it!!!
Fun little competition! You will rebound in the 2nd round! FYI... I WANT IN!! :)
Consider this your official letter of invite 📩 hahah! It was a blast! Thanks man!
Good luck! I hope you catch slightly smaller fish than me! 😂
I can't make any promises hahaha! 👊
As we know now TJ is CRUSHING IT! Much love to all though :)

Have always wanted to catch a Walleye.
Pike and Walleye were my top 2 and I nailed a nice Pike early this summer.
Awesome! Walleye can be tough for sure, but that's part of the reason it's so addicting and rewarding! Thanks for watching!
No this is perfect. We look at these videos and think we can go out there and catch big walleye easily. Happy to see this.
No doubt! Most folks only show the highs and none of the lows...when in reality we strike out way more often than we "crush." Thanks Gilles!
" Fill your card fast, then go hog hunting" . Thats what Gary Roach told me at a tournament
No doubt! That's usually my game plan, but only having 3 hours had me sketched out lol. Looking back at it, that should have been my move so I didn't start scrambling and have the wheels off off this round!
Where did you get this Walleye mug? Some dirtbag must have found it
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how amazing that thing is!? Literally a work of art!!
😂😂😂 yup, I saw it and HAD to have it lol
@@TargetWalleye Haha I knew some dirtbag must have found it... a dirtbag with great taste 🤣
@@aaronmeyer9431 🙋♂ hahaha! I felt even dirtbag-ier since I found it on ebay lol. Thing is so majestic tho!
Fishing can be so good one day and so humbling the next day.
Absolutely no doubt! Keeps us coming back haha.
🥸
Whaaaaat up Nicky The Kid
I was putting the blade on jig n rap also. Ha good work
They like that little tweak!
@@TargetWalleye yes they do!!

@@jonrudolph6814 either way have fun man! 👊
“Eat your food, Tina”. Now that was hilarious! Nice walleyes!
Gotta talk them into cooperating sometimes lol
@@TargetWalleye I loved the Napoleon Dynamite reference.
Brett, where did you find that bumper measuring board? I LUV it!! I WANT one.
They are super cool! I’ll paste the link for their site below:

Thanks man!!! The highs and lows of tourney fishing are crazy lol. Appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Not a better guy to spend time in the boat with either!!! Class act
@@tjsguideservice as long as there's snack and the fish are biting hahaha. Thanks homie!
Told the other boys, you have my attention for the next few hours!! Going to be. Cool format!! Nice fish!!
Heck yes Craig! 👊
@@TargetWalleye you have to do this in the winter!!
Nice
Thanks Scott!
do you ever wish you had a livescope pole instead of mounting it to your trolling motor?
Sometimes. Super windy days it can be a dream to have it on a pole instead so you can position the boat upwind of the fish/structure, and then cast back with the wind at them. Also super cool to be able to point it backwards when pulling bottom-bouncers, etc.
@TargetWalleye okay, thanks for the info, been questioning how I should do it!
"Derby starts in less than five minutes an I have to pooo" Sounds like taking my yellow lab Pheasant hunting,lol must be the excitement of the hunt or in your case derby👍 Looks like the lund seat needs to visit a upholstery shop...
LOL the nervous sh*ts combined with a giant mug of coffee 😂. And no doubt, I have 4 of them that need that visit haha. Thanks for watching!

TJ has home water advantage....
True! Sometimes that can mess you up by fishing memories, but I wish I would've had some memories to fish in this round haha!!! Gotta keep moving!
Absolutely I did! Who wouldn’t want home water advantage when you’re fishing against these 2 hammers!? 🔨🔨🔨 I’ll take what I can get!
@@tjsguideservice LOL. I don't care if you had fished the lake 1,000,000 times before, your round 1 bag would have still been wildly impressive! Amazing man!
Can't wait - Let's go!
Yes sir!
Have you tried the Berkley Finisher? That thing is impressive! I’ve been using the size 7 in gold and pink purple
Great bait! I haven’t played with it enough on fish near bottom, but have had days where the suspended fish love it being “bopped” with little twitches making it sort of walk the dog and wag.

What scent is that?

The guys with money to afford the spotlight fishing equipment wins
Oh good grief 😅🤦♂️
But… we all have the spotlight fishing equipment… so do we all win?
🎯 💩
LOL 😂
