Smacking walleyes in a pontoon! (Premier Sunsation Angler)

It was a super fun afternoon on the water despite mother nature not wanting to cooperate! We borrowed a Premier Sunsation Angler, pointed the bow into 25-mph winds, and got to catching. I love seeing pontoons getting fishy-er! 🤫 And Premier always has a bunch of cool new innovations in the works.... Next time (with warmer weather) we're bringing the kiddos with!
No doubt there’s lots of different ways to catch fall walleyes...but it’s tough to beat live-bait rigging with big 4-5″ creek chubs or redtails when it comes to sticking a bunch of future fish tacos.
Lots of variations to the technique - you can make it as simple or difficult as you want. One of the tweaks is tail-hooking your chubs to get more action out of ’em, which seems to work especially well any time you're squatting in a high-percentage spot and/or getting turned down by multiple marks on the graph.
Drop a comment below and let me know what you think. 👊 Thx SO much for watching!

I upgraded my boat batteries to lithium this season and could NOT be more happy!
I went with Amped Outdoors' 36V 100Ah trolling motor lithium battery system (which is two 36V 50Ah LiFePO4 batteries in parallel). I was able to shave off roughly 140 pounds 😳 by running those 2 lithiums vs 3 lead batteries, and of course get some amazing run times:

Which also freed up an extra battery slot in my boat, so I was able to plug in this 100Ah beast (only weighs about 24-ish lbs) to exclusively run all of my electronics - fer dayzzzz 🔋 - instead of running them off of my cranking battery:

Your not cold when catching fish.. 👍

[@comingtofull-ageinchrist6736]

You didn’t mention your camera guy, Nick! Though you did show him with a Walleye catch

[@turtsable]

They need to start adding heated seats in boats😂

Linking my Terrova with my Helix was a game changer! I troll an area first and mark fish with waypoints. Then scroll to each waypoint and hit Go To, one after another. It creates a Quick Route and takes me to all the spots while I snap jig my way around the area. When it gets to the last waypoint it Spot Locks. Great for fishing alone in wind/current or with young kids. Like having a personal skipper with you all the time.

Life jackets?

[@jamesmatthews4840]

It’s not Mandatory to wear life jackets.

I got to meet Chris the other day Great video!

[@rustymcilquham6046]

2 fish for 45 seconds and do 11:30 of product placement, this channel getting to be quite the sales pitch

[@brettfavrelol]

I want a livescope on my pontoon. Any shuttle+removable transducer recommendations to make it clean looking?

[@mrgeno4682]

Fabricate custom I did👍

[@timhunter6873]

If those are 20mph wind waves coming across that body of water, I'm going to move north. Those would be serious white caps here at 20 mph with that open .run length

[@tjsguideservice]

That’s wild! Nice work, Brett!

[@JDPMN1]

Cool pontoon. Gotta take a look during the upcoming sport show season!
