Nice work! It would be fun to watch you mess up a bunch of rock fish and lings given the weather cooperates with you. Maybe something to plan for in the spring/summer? All the best and keep at it
Tyler, I just got the reel in the mail that was the one you had in the description. It is the 2000, which is really small and looks like it will not hold very much line at all. Is it the 2000 you use or a larger one. I am not sure it is going to work for walleye or not. Please let me know. I was thinking about using to for bottom walkers and worm harness, will it work?
your fishing in 80 feet in this video. you never mention how to bring them in so their air bladders don't inflate. Maybe next time mention how when there is about 30 feet of line out you want to stop reeling and let the fish swim a little. This allows the air bladder to decompress, so that when you release it, it doesn't die.
None of what you say is true. Stopping at 30’ for a little while has no impact on barotrauma. I harvest all fish caught at these depths if it’s legal to do so
@@spiltmilt they dont die right away, takes a bit, like 24-48 hours. Research on the Great Lakes shows that fish caught in a depth of more than 30 feet of water only have a 30% survival rate when released due to the rapid change in pressure. In nature, deep water fish that are chill'n next to the thermocline, say 150 feet down in the summer would never just decide to swim straight up to the surface. As such their bodies don't do well when that happens. I deep-water kayak fish, so its easy for me to stop reeling and wait for the air bubbles to come up before bringing it all the way in if i plan on releasing it. The charter boats cant do that. Its amazing how much lake trout and salmon i bring home in the summer that i find still alive floating on the surface unable to swim down. In the spring and fall i find much less as they are typically only 50 feet down.
Tyler, I truly enjoy the diversity of your channel, species and lakes. A little gem of information for everyone. Great video. Thanks,
Thank you. Appreciate that a lot.
I agree 1000% !!!
Looks like a fun fishery
Can see the love and respect you have for the fish in the way you handle them. Another beautiful video!
Thank you!
What body of water?

Thank you, I’m in Washington love our walleye fishery. Just kind of looked like the upper snake
Nice work!

Where would you suggest I could go from the Oregon side in these days of closed parks, all I have is a hobie outback to get around?
You should be able to get on the water at the Umatilla launches.
Awesome video.. great coverage

What lake is that.?
Another awesome video! What do you look for in terms of current for this type of fishing? Are you in an eddy? Just normal current?
I look for seam breaks where slow water and moving water meet. Eddies are also good spots but you tend to cover more water drifting the seams.
@@spiltmilt Thanks! That makes sense.
Just curious, what's your opinion on releasing fish caught 40 feet deep and beyond? Not judging, I've heard arguments both ways. Great video btw!
If they show severe barotrauma and cannot submerge you either need to fizz or use a descending device. Otherwise its probably best to harvest them.
That some nice eyes!
Nice! 👍
