I’ve walleye fished plenty in my life. Walleye and Bass guys tend to rub shoulders from time to time. My best friend from HS is a professional walleye angler. Love to eat them! Next time you are in Canada, try and catch some of those Little Rock bass. Bastards are better eating than Perch….I know, hard to believe, but true!

I go for world class fights. (Northern Pike.) Walleye don’t make the grade unless hooked on dorsal fin and reeled in sideways. ( Y bones are easy enough to remove.)
Don't forget ADS beating Nicky "Transfers".
I go too far north - Northwest Ontario almost where the road ends. Pretty much only Walleye, Sauger, Pike, White Fish and Perch. Lake Trout if the lakes is deep enough.
Yeah, those rock bass are good bait for river flatheads.
Nothing mushier than a cat taken from river in warm months. The only thing close would be catfish taken from rivers in cold weather.
False. They are indeed not "literally the easiest fishing that exists" That would be Bluegill, sunfish or stocked Trout(fishing in a barrel).
Yes, large mouth are still pretty easy to catch overall. They do adapt well in many different environments however, have knowledge of where they have been, and are going. And it's rare to catch a 6+ pounder here in the Midwest even though they're in there.
Now small mouth bass fishing on the Rivers and streams is another story. They can be quite the challenge to reel in.. if they bite. They fight hard and don't tire easily. That's my favorite kind of fishing other than catching Walleye with shallow divers in Minnesota.
If smallmouths ran to salt like steelhead and got the same boost in attitude nobody would ever fish for anything else.
I'd fish for that largemouth!
And since I may have started this fight, let me apologize and clarify that I like bass too. They go right in the bucket with the carp to make cheap trapping bait, or cut bait for catfishing if I'm in a pinch.
That’s my summer addiction… flathead fishing. I go 5 times most weeks of the summer. I live pretty close to the river.
Rock bass are great… Chubs are like caviar to them… I have NEVER had luck with goldfish or bullhead…
I’m thinking about starting a “fishing with wrestlers” podcast for The Pin Doctors, where every show, I’ll have a guest and we will go fishing and talk wrestling.
You speak the truth, Mike. My partner and I have fished at least 300 tournaments in the last six years here in TN and have never caught a large mouth bass over 7 pounds. This spring we're going to spend a weekend at Lake Chickamauga to see if we can catch one of those double digit Florida strain largemouth bass. Like you said, hooking a double digit is no easy task and landing it, even more daunting. An old Army friend retired and opened a bait/tackle shop on Lake Fork, where he's fishing while his wife and son man the shop. He catches those double digit monsters every year.
Wouldn’t need much. And I suppose they’d turn bright gold rather than chrome.
Smalls, I think you're recalling your days on the pond fishing for bluegill and sunfish...or perhaps you're referring to netting minnows. But it's very clear you haven't been tournament bass fishing. It's a brutal sport with even the best in the world getting shutout some days on the lake.
You're right about that, Mike! Largemouth fishing is game on, but the one time you hook into a two-pound smallie you think you've got a monster largemouth until the smallie goes airborne. No greater pound for pound fight than those smallies.
Let’s see…. You gots your large mouths, small mouths and the hybrid Smalls with a big mouth.
Smalls,
Did you ever try to snag some shad out of Delaware.????
A big American roe shad will pull an equal size bigmouth backward for an hour.
Fishing out of Fletcher’s boathouse on the Potomac I’ve had American shad on where I’ve feared for my 7/8 fly rod more than I did on the same rod with 12 pound steelhead.

World record “mean mouth” was caught this month at OH Ivie. Young man I happen to know. 8.31lbs. That’s a cross between a spot and a smallie normally. At Ivie, it’s smallie and Florida strain. Crazy! Ok, im done.
How did this turn into a fishing thread? Please no more!
Charles Guthrie...he's a retired Army Military Policeman. He owned Tightlines Premium Fishing Tackle before moving on to a more normal career in that area...well normal but still involved with fishing. He's a Sales Representative/PRO-Staff Manager for BIOBOR Fuel Additives/ArmyBassAnglers. Haven't talked to him or his fam in a couple years, but I still see pictures of monsters he's posing with from time to time.
Kitty hunting week-->catfishing--> any fishing. Pretty logical connection to me.
Have you ever been to Lake Tansi outside of Crossville? Bought my first house there. Miss it there.
haven't fished the delaware in quite some time despite living 2miles from it.
i almost exclusively trout fish. a lot of Class A streams near me.
This new guy, Mike Z, keeps liking a lot of my posts and twitter videos.
Kinda creepy....
Is he some kinda stalker or what.............

Rock bass better than perch .... lmao
I hate those little red eyed bastards.
I love to fish for about everything. Walleye, bass, panfish, pike, but I have an obsession when it comes to Muskies.
