- In this episode I'm fishing Lake Mcconaughy in Nebraska for big walleye. The bite is tough, but we grind it out for my new personal best. Then, back in my RV, I'm cooking up the ultimate parmesan-crusted walleye.
COMMENT BELOW and tell me where I should go next and what I should fish for! And ask me any questions you guys have!

Those Panama and overseas episodes are epic, but I love these "regular" episodes filmed here in random USA spots.
Also love the emotional rollercoaster even though I know you don't! Most fisherman experience this on the daily basis and these type of episodes are ultra relatable.
Thanks Erik that means a lot. I’ll never sugarcoat it, fishing is fishing and it doesn’t always go as smoothly as we hope when we’re driving to the ramp!
My wife and i are moving out to Lake Mac in a couple months and have spent a ton of time out there. Her family lives out there and we have fished the hell out of the the lake over the years. Van’s is a great place to camp and launch from. The lake has been very low the last few years so having their capability to launch without a boat ramp has been very useful. Great spot for walleye fishing as well as numerous other species.
I fished Big Mac back in the early 70s when my Dad and I went to visit his side of our family....
My Uncle Gail had the ranch, and my Uncle Charles had the farm....
And Big Mac was some great fishing....
We caught White Bass by the hundreds along with the Walleyes....
Great story! It’s still a great fishery!
Come and fish Mac during the spring spawn for walleye. It's a circus out there but chances of catching 10 plus pound walleye go way up. Guys troll or cast Mr twister up at the dam and catch them constantly
Walleye is the best. My mouth was watering so bad . Awesome video as always. Thanks for all you do to bring this to us.
It was soooo good. Thanks so much for watching William!
You gotta give credit to local guides everywhere with all the pressure they have to put their clients on fish. There happens to be rough days, happens to everyone! Great job to you and to your guide, he seems like a knowledgeable and good guy. Great video, keep posting the good content !!!
I love how excited you get when u catch a good one..... everyone else 😐
No doubt about fishing being so frustrating/rewarding! Overtime win, great job
We’ve all been there haha
Love your fishing videos man! The vibe and the way your videos flow and are put together is impeccable ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
You need to look at a vacuum sealer and save room in your freezer. Thanks for sharing what fishing really is. That fish committed suicide cause he knew he was sick. Stay safe
I still prefer freezing in water but you’re right, vacuum sealer would be money for my baby RV freezer
Another great Video. Your channel is one of the channels that inspired me to get started 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Glad he cleaned it since he knew what that was. Awesome catch and glad that sick one is out of the water. Loving your adventures ❣️
Really , How many "sick ones" are in the Lake ? the guide didnt say but he knows . What a Sick world we live in when the water is contaminated with Fertilizer and other unknown chemicals in what used to be the cleanest area in the US. Its all about Ethanol and the climate change nuts that will destroy a fishery to push for wind and solar that is also destrying the planet.
The 25'' female you wanted to eat was a baby maker deluxe. We never keep the big females like that. When they get that age and that size their mercury content is thru the roof. I only keep and eat 16'' thru 19'' fish. And then you're doing your part to help the walleye fishery by turning those big girls back. Really enjoyed the video, Quite entertaining.
You have to be one of the most unique TH-cam angler platforms out there I really enjoy the content you provide and I got to be honest I've learned a ton
Thanks so much Mark, means the world
When walleye are deep and don't want to bite I use a whole night crawlers with a spinner down deep
I love how happy you are and how non chalant the other guy is
Last spring I caught 17 Walleye in 3 hours from the shore on the Detroit river !! 🎣
Incredible!! That’s a day there!
John came thru in extra time! Man that fish made me furiously hungry! You're in the zone!
He’s a miracle worker and while it ain’t bojala, that walleye is no joke! Miss ya buddy
Great segment. I fish lake Mac every year and the walleye are amazing but the small mouth bass on the dam are so fun.
I’ll have to hit that next time!
But no comment about Contaminated Fish? Are you a guide?
How exciting, a midweek video. Be safe.
next time you catch walleye get the wings off of them. it's like the belly part of the fish beneath the gills where the pectoral fins are. some of the best part of the fish you will ever have better than crab claws.
Mannnn I should do that! We call those the “throats” and take them off redfish all the time. Shoulda thought about it! I love that cut of fish. Great idea Donovan
Hey Robert! If you wanna catch some pretty big Pike and walleye, go to lesser slave lake! If you wanna catch walleye, use a hard bait that goes to the bottom, and then troll, the walleye love that! But when summer hits, use a spoon or a swimbait! Oh and for pike, just use anything, they are HUGE there. Oh and troll around dog island or the houses with the red roofs
Thanks for the tips!
@@YakFishField and another tip, go to dog island In mid June/July and go to the little beach on there and start fishing! You’ll get a chase or a fish every cast! And the pike come right up to you to eat your bait! Just use a spoon or a soft swimbait for both pike and walleye! The walleye hang out in the weeds near the islands shore in June/July.
Well I'm bummed out you didn't catch a bigger fish here in Nebraska. Please come back and get your monster 🐳. I really enjoyed the video! Happy fishing 🎣
love the show!
Thanks Jason!
Great video man, you’ve taught me most of what I know, if your in San Diego CA and want to chase some rock fish or yellowtail let me know
Thanks brother! I love San Diego, have you seen my old La Jolla videos? If not look thru my Field Trips West Coast playlist. Gotta get back down there.
Ya man I’ve seen ‘‘em All haha you were an inspiration to my fishing journey and now I do my own videos from my paddle board/boat. For sure if you get over here let me know. Also, will there be more Panama trips or are you just continuing your US expedition?
Awesome shirt. Double entendres in place. Gotta get myself one!
That’s right, whatever kind of Trippin you’re into! I’d appreciate the support! www.YakFish.tv
Wow big Fishing ,very nice thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
Hope to see you soon in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Awesome video
Thanks sista!
When you going back to Los buzos my man? These videos are great, but it's exciting as hell to see what your pulling up out of the pacific
Just leaving there catching monster walleye and seen this video😂
The highs, the lows, and then panko! Too bad Jennifer wasnt there, she seems to be a fishing good luck charm !
She woulda caught 100
Atleast this guy tried me and my buddies got Phil he didn't even try went back n forth by the dam for 8 hours didn't catch a stick that's badass I've would of been happy with them dinks
That was a nice walleye, But you really need to come to Iowa the first part of June..
Robert that cooked fish looks awesome!
It was SO good!
Robert, walleye and crappie are my favorite fresh water fish. It is not the best time to fish for walleye in Big Mac but you landed a big one anyway. South Dakota has some great walleye lakes too. Nebraska's Tom Osborne goes walleye fishing there about every year. The parmesan-crusted walleye looked delicious! Love your great video's!
If the Game and Fish hasnt already put Hybrid Striped Bass in the Lake , The people that fish in the lake should fight it to the end to keep these trash fish out . They eat anything that moves and will , destroy a fishery . They probably already have and you are blaming the Walleye depletion on climate change 4 times a year.
@@jimmyfumbanks6081 What's wrong with hybrid stripped bass?
@@Seany1 They will eat everything they can swallow . I know for a fact they destroyed a Mississippi River Oxbow ,In about 2 years time after the Geniouses at the Fish and Wildlife released them they destroyed the best crappie lake in the area it was a 5 mile long lake and a mile wide. They had several lawsuits against them . The hybrid Bass are also reproducing . And No one fishes for or eats the nasty off tasting meat. The area stores have closed after bing in buisness dince the early 1950.s
Walleye & panfish are also good fried with a coating of Corn Flake Crumbs.
If you crack your egg on a flat surface you are far less likely to get shells in the bowl. If you have the option do this method with some real Parmagiano Reggiano. That is if it's in your budget, I know it's far more expensive than shaker cheese but the flavor is definitely better. Great cook man.
Them is massive!! 😯
I got one out of Banks Lake in Washington about that size. All day we caught undersize fish. 1/4 mile from boat launch he bit. First sighting of the fish had my Bro In law freaked out. I got him in boat and both of us freaked out. That night we ate walleye. Biggest one I have ever caught.
Awesome!! Makes it worth the grind!
I see you were using the Fenwick Eagle. I’m thinking of buying one and I was wondering what you think of it.
Mantap ikan monster nya
Walleye and perch are amazing
Yessir!
Sweet
The only freshwater fish better tasting than walleye is bluegill. My God those little guys are delicious
first minute of the video sums Nebraska pretty well (I live there)
Roberto yeeeeew fish on tu sabes Ai enfermedades en todo ser viviente normalmente cuando veo algo diferente en los peces champin
This is the exact reason why it's called Fishing not Catching
That’s right!
That’s walleye fishing! Faith.
I almost lost faith but then there it was
@YakFishField nice Walleye! You must try Lake of the Woods one day.
While you are in nebraska you should check out merrit resivour
We have walleye everywhere in Nebraska
In your travels, if you make it to the Columbia River. I’ll get you on your biggest walleye or at least try.
Biggest fish of my entire life came out of the Columbia. 275 lb sturgeon. Should look for that video, Field Trips West Coast playlist
I'll take you on a real garfishing kayak trip in texas anytime July through Sept. Overnight camping 15mile trip. Longer or shorter if needed. I seen your gar video so I know you've done it but I also know your style. Airboat, jet boat, kayak, I'll make it happen
Camping trip would be fun. I’ve been itching to chase those dinosaurs again
@Field Trips with Robert Field. I live for it I'm ready when you are. The 15mile stretch is virtually untouched no boat ramps within 75 miles for big guide boats pretty much kayaks and small John boats only on that stretch. Monster fish for sure.
Nice fish Rob!
Thanks brother!
Really ? Kind of a Bummer to see a Contaminated fish , Unless you guide on the lake?
Damn man that looks good the way you cooked that fish I wish you could have ate that one you caught I never herd of that disease myself We catch them here in Indiana In Brookville lake and I never herd of anyone talking about that out here Great Video
I hadnt heard of it either. Real weird. It was delicious!
Still a little confused as to why you don’t have more subscribers. I really enjoy watching the videos. Would give anything to go salt water fishing with you.
Thanks so much jeremy, means the world 🙏🏼
My best walleye was 22 inches I caught that about 8 years ago I’ve tried to catch a bigger but never got it yet
Oh my gosh!! No way!! 21:21 That 6’5” guy is my grandpa!! Crazy!!
Really?!
@@YakFishField Yes! He went out there last summer with my brother and my grandmother.
Some one get Heflin some scotty quick draw rod holders for Christmas
He prefers these. A lot of walleye guides do
Nice walleye too bad you couldn't eat it.. I live in Colorado but Been to lake Mac many times. We used to fish walleye up in Minnesota.
I was bummed! I love fishing Colorado
@@YakFishField Cool yeah some of the best fly fishing in the world up at Deckers Colorado and the Dream stream at eleven mile state park. If you like rainbow,brown and cutthroat trout that is the place to go. Eleven mile also good for Kokanee salmon.
The exact reason I don’t keep any big walleye out of that lake. They all have it. Better to let them go and let someone else experience the catch of a trophy walleye. Way to stick it out
we like to call it Big Mac
Only one God.
You should come and adventure in some Canadian waters sometime!
Unfortunately I’m banned from Canada for life. They caught me with 15 bullets I forgot about in my truck the one time I tried to cross the border.
@@YakFishField Wow, that is harsh. I plan on spending summers on Vancouver Island BC (with my kayak and salt gear) in 2024 and I am glad you mentioned this!
Nice fish Rob. The reason you didn’t catch many is your girlfriend wasn’t there.😂
Probably true! She woulda caught 50
Have you fished Fort Peck in Montana?
Nope haven’t made it to Montana yet. Should I?
What time of year was that?
Why don't you try trolling? You could go in and out of all kinds of bays, etc. You may find your luck improve by moving.
Wasn't the right time of year
Im moving there in 2 months
I like that shirt bro
Grab you one! www.YakFish.tv
Try cracking your eggs on a flat surface instead of on an edge, it works much better.
If you want a great walleye trip, come to Lake Erie in May. Some of the greatest walleye fishing you’ll ever experience. Contact Carpetbagger Charters out of Ashtabula Ohio. Enjoyed your show today.
Try some sand bass are white bass sometime you well also like that
I’ve done a couple white bass catch and cooks, very underrated fish!
Yes they are underrated fish and their good fighters just like stripers hybrid bass
Instead of worms and ned rigs. They bite greatly on rapala crank baits.
I caught a 27 incher today
Wow man congrats!!
@@YakFishField thanks!
Send me some I never had it
missed ya daddy
Missed you too
What did you do with that thumbnail boy!!
All about that long arm
Less yapping, more fishing
I know exactly where you guys are fishing. John is definitely making cash of you suckers. 😂 cool video though
Hello brother
Hello
Dude ho your own fish
That’s not a sheepshead
They call them sheepshead. But not the convict fish down in the gulf. Just a regional nickname for freshwater drum
If you want to catch big HEALTHY Walleye, go to Lake Erie ( Port Clinton ) Ohio, and fish the East side of the Bass Islands in about 40 feet of water in late April. Average fish is 4-8 pounds ! I caught a 12 pounder when I was there !
I did a Lake Erie walleye video. Search for it on my channel, it’s a fun one.
@@YakFishField OK, I will search for it !
spray tan is weird
wut
I enjoy your vids sir, however, that said...being around you while you're filming must be exhausting...
Probably
Olive oil for fish No way. Peanut oil rules.
First.
Way to big to keep that’s why there isnt any good walleye in America because you all keep the breeders come up to Canada next summer and I’ll put you on way bigger and way more
Lol
You need to look at a vacuum sealer and save room in your freezer. Thanks for sharing what fishing really is. That fish committed suicide cause he knew he was sick. Stay safe
