I'll let the study speak for itself. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) on Walleye in Lake Roosevelt in a 2016 study: "These populations are robust and contain plenty of harvestable fish. We continue to encourage anglers to harvest their limit of walleye when they have the opportunity. Too many walleye in a population can have a negative impact on the rest of the fish community, which will in turn negatively impact the walleye populations as forage is reduced. Routine monitoring of these fisheries, through the use of FWIN as well as creel surveys, will ensure that we are not negatively impacting walleye populations and that we are maintaining balance in these fish communities." "Our data on walleye populations over the past 12 years indicate that these populations can sustain more harvest and indeed need more harvest." "In 2006, the WDFW raised the daily limit to 8 walleye per day on Lake Roosevelt, Potholes Reservoir, and Moses Lake. Unfortunately, few anglers took advantage of this as the results from our two-year creel survey on Potholes Reservoir and Moses Lake indicated low overall walleye harvest. Creel surveys on FDR [Lake Roosevelt] indicated that walleye harvest was approximately 50,000 walleye annually, which was 1/3 of the management goal. In 2013, WDFW raised the walleye daily limit to 16 fish and removed size restrictions." "These regulations were liberalized in order to accomplish two primary management goals: improve walleye growth and condition and bring about a balance in the predator/prey fish community. We are relying on anglers to help us achieve these management goals. We encourage anglers to help shape our walleye populations to a more healthy condition by harvesting more fish."
@@ericmutch4557 No, I wouldn't keep 100 fish if that was the limit. And I do enjoy fishing but why can't I keep my limit once in a while? I kept my 16; had 8 people total in the house; 2 fish per person. If this was a crappie fishing trip, I would've released all but one just to do a catch and cook video. The reason I would do so with crappie is because I have lots of access to crappie fishing throughout the year. Walleye on the other hand is very new to me and family as we never had the opportunities, or at the least the correct equipment, to catch walleye. Therefore, my goal was to bring some walleye back to the family to try out and feed them for a meal since most of them have never even tasted walleye. This is why I retained my limit on this particular trip. I also take into consideration the research of the body of water as well, in which I have stated previously on this thread of comments. Any more concerns you'd like me to address?
Thanks so much for taking us on another great trip. I walleye the Tri-cities part of the Columbia and Snake rivers as well as the Boardman/Crow Butte part of the Columbia. I haven't made it up to Lake Roosevelt yet but I sure would like to. Thanks again!
Another great vid Samong. The lady at the ramp reminds me of an old man that used to live in a tiny cinder block shack by the river here. One time he was looking in my boat as I was backing my truck up. " Nice bunch of cats you got there". So I gave him a few. After that, everytime he'd see my truck roll by, he'd be at the ramp a few hours later. Perch, cats, stripers. Always gave him a couple when I saw him. After a few years, he stopped showing up. One day leaving, saw him sitting in front of his house. He waved, so I pulled over, and grabbed a few fish. He looked terrible, gaunt and looked like he was rotting away. But a big smile and a bigger Thank You! I'd always stop and give him some fish if I saw him. Following year, tiny house was empty. Been probably 15-20 years now, but I still think of him everytime I drive by it. Anyway, thought that was really nice of you and Andrew, and it brought back an old memory for me.
The fish looks great I fished for walleyes in Minnesota the man showed me a mistake I made with freezing fish he froze the fish in a single layer on a cookie sheet they broke apart and I could take only the amount of fish out to defrost from my food saver bags thanks again for taking us on your trip
I ran across your videos today for the first time. I enjoyed them and have subscribed. The first video I watched was about catching burbot in the lake with Andrew. The thing that really caught my attention was when you were unloading your car at the ramp. There were empty water bottles and stuff in the front seat. THANK YOU! You hadn't chucked the stuff out of your window while driving or in the ramp parking lot. That said more to me about you being an outdoorsman than how many fish you caught. Watching the fishing was enjoyable, too.
Great video! I'm just starting to get into walleye fishing. Your explanations of the two techniques you used was very easy to understand, and very informative. Your fileting technique looked great also. I'll definitely try it!
Good job man. I've been enjoying your content. Fishing and hunting, good job getting out there and figuring it out. Wish people weren't so rude in the comments. Keep representing for Washington State. You are doing a great job.
I realize this an old video but, when tying fluorocarbon to braid the fg knot is stronger and thinner for casting thru guides. Super easy to tie and works great. I'm sure the double uni is more than adequate. Just thought you might like the smaller knot.
Not sure why your channel popped up on my recommendations but I’m seriously diggin’ it. Great content 🎣 🦌 👍. How do u eat all that fried food and stay rail thin??? Good on ya. I got a feeling your channel is going to grow pretty quick. I’ll remember I sub’d when you only had 11k subs.
New sub here and just wanted to say great fishing and great content. Glad I found your channel. It's always funny seeing people tell other people what they should and shouldn't keep when hunting and fishing but you just do you. If you're ever in FL hit me up for some fishing info. Good luck and tight lines!
Hey man, just wanted to say solid channel and love seeing all of your vids! Also, totally go for it with the biologists emphasizing limits! It will help with growth rates and size class in the future
I really enjoy your content. Those tacos looked awesome! Wish I could fish for some Walleye! What drew me to your channel was the Sturgeon vids. Glad I stuck around because I really enjoy these vids as well. Thank you and God bless!🙌🎣🙏
We catch walleyes here in Iowa all the time. Your filleting skills will get better the more you practice. I have been filleting fish for 50 years. Great video. 👍
Walleye are very mild flavored fish. Great any way. We harvest them a little bigger on lake Erie so I like to use the pectoral fins as well. They call them fish wings. The meat is a little more flavorful. Look it up and give it a try. Backbones make excellent stock as well. Such a good tasting fish. Keep up the good work.
I've watched some walleye fishing out of Lake Erie before. That's definitely a lake of giants! Maybe some time in the future, I'll get the opportunity to head over that way and fish for some biggins!
NICE!!!!..EASY ON THE SALT BRO!!!..YOU MURDERD THOSE FRIES WITH THE SALT...LOL...THATS COOL YOU CAN HOOK UP WITH SOMEONE THATS BEEN WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS AND GO FISHING...WHAT A BLESSING ...
Caught first walleye this year two rivers in finely. Made tacos gutted and cooked whole great fish. Where u live at in eastern wash. Love watching wash state guys u killing it young man from fishing to hunting. Keep it up
that Daiwa Triforce looks way sweeter than a GX2. Im looking at the Shimano slx baitcasting 7'2" medium heavy extra fast. Paired with the slx dc lefty reel for jigging.
Is that boat ramp in Wilbur? Or should I say were you in Wilbur, wa? 32 fish, wow that's great. I limit out on Trout at Mayfield lake every chance I get. I'll come home with 50 to 60 trout a week. I keep about 20 to smoke and then put them in canning jars. I give the rest away to different families.
Haha I launch out of that same spot, in June tho. And usually fish upstream. I have fished that exact spot in early summer and haven't really done very well. Interesting to see it producing in the winter. The fish are are definitely smaller. Still get a decent fillet tho. Some of the best eating fish in freshwater.
Great video Samong. Don't listen to the ones complaining about catching that amount. Invasive and look how skinny they are (I am used to the fat ones in the Rufus/Irrigon area). About the dull "Walmart special" knife, Worksharp tool and knife sharpener. You would be able to get it to a razor sharp blade in no time. Take care and tight lines
those are good eating walleyes ..i love walleyes fishing and making laab out of walleyes, because they have nice soft firm meat..here in wisconsin, we can only keep 5 and 15'' or longer... most people don;t even know that the head is good eating, especially the cheek meat and making sour walleye soup.
Burbot is a bucket list fish for me...need to head up to Washington and try to catch one eventually. Heard they eat really well, described as poor man's lobster. Though I've heard that about Cabezon, too....and while certainly different meat, not very lobster-like.
Just found your videos recently out of the blue. Watched a few just to see what your content was about. I got to say I like what I've seen so far. it's great to see a fellow Washington resident showing people the great outdoors in our state. You have techniques I've seen but never really tried that I want to at some point. Keep up the great work and God bless. Question: In this video it looked like you guys launched from the Kettle Falls Marina which is about 12 minutes from the town I live in.
Can't imagine Walleye being invasive but if they are keep all you can. However, as a Minnesota boy, you do not overpower that delicate fish with cajun spice - salt, pepper, sauteed in butter or breaded with flour and cornmeal and fried in lard. You are right the best fish of all.
When it comes to those pin bones you cut along each side of the bone line at the fat part of the filet and just Pull-A-Part. They call it a zipper zipper in the filet
fish fry , we would take the filets and cut thin angle slices from head to tail not more than 1/2 inch the thinner the better . fresh ranch dressing , malt vinager and jalapeno tobasco were the 3 things we would dip the battered slices into . we cooked the pieces well golden crispy is best for fish fry you might think they are over cooked but dont worry the malt V dip first then ranch then jajapeno is just mouth watering when you try them . i myself just mixed all 3 togather to save the time lol its that good ;) and yes the cheeks when the fish are larger they will give you a chunk of delicious meat like a scallop ;) hope you try eye fishing again its very easy to get hooked on ;)
Just wait til you start hooking into some eyes that are over 20 inches. Deep fried, yummmmmmmmmm. Get another tackle box just for them. Lots of different ways to catch them. Sure am glad you are back. We missed you.
All these people complaining about keeping these fish.... I guess taking 5 minutes to research before imposing their ignorance on others is too much to ask. Probably why most of them have no content or created second channels just to stay anonymous. Id hate to see what they would think if they found out about the pike nets.... or pikeminnow bounty fishing.
Damn what’s your limit per person? Every where I fish at is always 6. Nice haul though man walleye is one of my favorites but I’m not sure if I would say it’s the best. I live near Lake Erie so a lot of people would be mad if they heard me say that lol
Very interesting! I did not know that. I just went based off what was written on the packaging of the tortillas and it said "soft taco" haha. Thanks for educating me! :D
Hey bro, quick question. I just bought a small fiberglass Livingston trolling boat paired with a 50lb thrust min kota , can I fish this lake with my trolling motor? Is there any tough under current? Should I buy 4hp outboard? Any info helps , new to boats and stuff. Thanks in advance 🤙🏾
walleye are good if you gut them, cut off head, boil for 15 mins, remove skin, grill on treager low for 2 hrs with alder, debone, cook with fav taco seasoning, proceed as normal.
In West Virginia the limit is Two. One can be over 30", the other has to be under 20"....very difficult to get, but damn it was nice catching 7,8,10, and 12 pounder in one evening. Average size people catch is seven pounds! Not many little ones at all, in fact all my Walleyes this whole year were on musky lures, none under 7". My biggest ever was here 15 pounds and over 33"
Now that sounds like a well-managed lake. We have an abundance of walleye here in which majority of them are small because there's too much competition on the same food sources. There's certainly big ones here, but they're much harder to come by. It goes back to the idea of having 1 antelope feeding 10 skinny lions, or having 10 antelope feeding 1 fat lion. Would love to catch 7+ pounders on average. As for Lake Roosevelt, I'm not sure when I'll get to do that!
@@SamongOutdoors I actually caught them in the Kanawha River, an extremely unique river that is made up of the New River (oldest or second oldest in the world), and the Gauley River...It has mountain trout stream tributaries, and runs into the mighty Ohio River. Very diverse. My biggest walleye was 15 pounds 33 1/2". I have caught a four foot flathead catfish as well.
Not sure if you have northern pike in your lakes, but if you fillet around the bones (many how to vids to clean pike) go catch, clean and cook a few and let me know. You'll be thanking me later.
I love the boat! I'm a huge fan of fishing from anything that floats. If I had to fish from a piece of Styrofoam (not a comparison just an example) I most definitely would. My favorite is kayak fishing and if its all I got I will take it anywhere.
Hi Samong watching your walleye video at Lake Roosevelt l love it it’s awesome lots of fun I want to do it someday I was wondering if you can go with us I also have a TH-cam channel hooked for a nice meal. Thank you Serge
16 per person, no daily limit. Walleye were illegally introduced here, so the increased limit is to limit walleye predation on native fish populations. There's an ongoing conversation of switching the walleye regs to: no daily limit and no size restrictions. There's a lot of walleye in Lake Roosevelt in which, it may be too much.
ok i check website washington regs seems like most waters are 15 limit with no size regs . not sure if that res produces larger fish on a regular basis . our lake in colorado at the time was a egg producing lake which game n fish would milk eyes every year , i helped a few years which was very fun and great way to see the breeding stock in the lake. and the size of fish we normally caught were 16-17 inchers alot then 18-19 inchers were there in full force if you found the sweet spot just outside of the smaller ones then 21-30+ were for the guys who really know and understood the topography of the lake and habits of eyes . i will say with the regulations so tough on our lake made it an awesome fishery , 3 fish even at 18 inches gave enough meat for some tasty fish fries ;)
@@SamongOutdoors oh man that would be great to fish then lol , i can see them wanting them gone with them hammering the native fish . we had that kind of bounty on pike on a few lakes n water ways , which was basicly dont release them if caught and catch all you want . i was mainly trout fisherman i spent most my time flyfishing in the rockies on the south platte river . got turnes onto eyes in about 2000-2003 where i focused my time to hammering . i wound up buying a 14ft valco with a 9.9 hp outboard and a troll mtr in front with my depth finder . our lakes we generally fished shallow 12-15ft in spring-summer on sunken roads or river beds were main targets . we had the maps of our lake since it was made back in mid 70s by the corps engineers , nice to have maps of roads n gravel pits .. anything that stuck out main river n lil creeks are hot spots . i live in wyoming now and get eyes n sauger in the river just not in abundance might get 2-3 a day if lucky . anyways keep hammering them i know about fish that are introduced illigally and its nice to have a high bounty on them lol
i was hooked bad when i got the boat i bought 4 rods for bottom bouncing wich were bait casters , 4 rods for spooning or jigging open face reels . i had 2 rod holders in back and 2 in front , i made sure when i had the wife or anyone that wanted to go out fishing with me they had full setup for what we chose to do lol was a good thought but im a fisherman i go overboard when i get hooked on anything . catfihing here is main target i live on the bighorn river too far from any res so trout are out and cats well ave 6-15 lbs are targeted i bought 2 10ft rods 1-8ft (only 1 left ) and 2 7ft all king kat and bough 5 open faced big spin reels which i put 20lb line on all since the channels are not massive rare to catch a 30+ here . now with over 50 rod n reel sets lol i should open a fishing camp lol oh well you can never have too much ;) maybe ill try to get up there some day and harvest a ton of eyes
Great job.. loved the video.. please look at how to remove the pin bones via the zipper method.. it's brilliant and it takes out the whole mud line.. no fishy taste when that is gone. Look up zipper, walleye and pinbone on TH-cam
Unnecessary and greedy. There's no reason to catch and keep that many fish. Shame on you.
I'll let the study speak for itself.
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) on Walleye in Lake Roosevelt in a 2016 study:
"These populations are robust and contain plenty of harvestable fish. We continue to encourage anglers to harvest their limit of walleye when they have the opportunity.

they are invasive and the state lieterally asks u to keep them all.
Lmao John mad cause he's lazy and can't catch sunfish so he's complaining.. Typical liberals
I agree..definitely no need to keep that many, just fish for the enjoyment of it man. If the limit was 100 you would keep 100? Common now.
@@ericmutch4557 No, I wouldn't keep 100 fish if that was the limit. And I do enjoy fishing but why can't I keep my limit once in a while?

That was sweet little tutorial on the filleting. Im newer to this fishery and that really takes the guesswork out of it.
Another great vid Samong.

Following year, tiny house was empty.
Been probably 15-20 years now, but I still think of him everytime I drive by it.
Anyway, thought that was really nice of you and Andrew, and it brought back an old memory for me.
Thanks for sharing! That's a powerful story, even just reading it. Love giving fish away to those who need it, especially the elders!
The fish looks great I fished for walleyes in Minnesota the man showed me a mistake I made with freezing fish he froze the fish in a single layer on a cookie sheet they broke apart and I could take only the amount of fish out to defrost from my food saver bags thanks again for taking us on your trip
Good on you for giving the old girl some fish. Headed that way this spring in my new camper van to do some exploring. Another great video!

Caught first walleye this year two rivers in finely. Made tacos gutted and cooked whole great fish. Where u live at in eastern wash. Love watching wash state guys u killing it young man from fishing to hunting. Keep it up
Awesome job on giving the elderly lady some fish.
Another great video 👍🏽Love me some walleye!! The real fresh water halibut,😉 best tasting freshwater fish by far!
NICE! Awesome seeing you out there with some followers!
that Daiwa Triforce looks way sweeter than a GX2. Im looking at the Shimano slx baitcasting 7'2" medium heavy extra fast. Paired with the slx dc lefty reel for jigging.
Great video. Thanks for the gear review you did before heading out.
Is that boat ramp in Wilbur? Or should I say were you in Wilbur, wa?
32 fish, wow that's great. I limit out on Trout at Mayfield lake every chance I get. I'll come home with 50 to 60 trout a week. I keep about 20 to smoke and then put them in canning jars. I give the rest away to different families.
Where at on lake roosevelt? I'm 15 minutes from grand coulee dam. Just purchasing all new rods and reels. Planning on TONS of fishing this coming year
Nice catch brother. Beautiful fish.
Haha I launch out of that same spot, in June tho. And usually fish upstream.
I have fished that exact spot in early summer and haven't really done very well.
Interesting to see it producing in the winter. The fish are are definitely smaller.
Still get a decent fillet tho.
Some of the best eating fish in freshwater.
Where you be launching at?
Awesome video man love to see lots of more to come!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽💯🔥
Hey, nice catch. What boat launch did you guys launch at. I got a small boat.
Been years since I've eaten Walleye...but I remember how good they taste.
Great video Samong. Don't listen to the ones complaining about catching that amount. Invasive and look how skinny they are (I am used to the fat ones in the Rufus/Irrigon area). About the dull "Walmart special" knife, Worksharp tool and knife sharpener. You would be able to get it to a razor sharp blade in no time. Take care and tight lines
No matter what, my braid to mono or fluoro leader is fg. Even light braid 15-20lbs to 10 mono/fluoro it’s the fg knot lol.
Great stuff, nice to meet new fishing friends!!
Gee thanks....now I'm hungry!!!! Nice video 👌
those are good eating walleyes ..i love walleyes fishing and making laab out of walleyes, because they have nice soft firm meat..here in wisconsin, we can only keep 5 and 15'' or longer... most people don;t even know that the head is good eating, especially the cheek meat and making sour walleye soup.
Walleyes is some good meat!!!Drooling 👍
Did you guys launch from K.F. Marina on this trip? Great video as always bud.
Love walleye fishing! Would love to try something like that one day. I'd eat the cheek meat over the filet any day but sadly they wont fill me up lol
Awesome day man. Thanks for sharing
Burbot is a bucket list fish for me...need to head up to Washington and try to catch one eventually. Heard they eat really well, described as poor man's lobster. Though I've heard that about Cabezon, too....and while certainly different meat, not very lobster-like.
live just up hill from the marina love fishing for walleye really fun
Man… a raft? On a snowy lake?
You sir are braver than i. Lol.
16 walleye per angler, That's crazy. Over here in Michigan the limit is 5 per angler.
Just found your videos recently out of the blue. Watched a few just to see what your content was about. I got to say I like what I've seen so far. it's great to see a fellow Washington resident showing people the great outdoors in our state.

Question: In this video it looked like you guys launched from the Kettle Falls Marina which is about 12 minutes from the town I live in.
Hey Sam try the cheek meat it’s really good there located on the head also the winds that you cut under you deep fry them there so good
Yeah, I asked about it but these fish were kinda small so I didn't get the cheek meat. Definitely next time though!
Or try adding hot sauce before you bread it and put it in the fryer it’s good
Can't imagine Walleye being invasive but if they are keep all you can. However, as a Minnesota boy, you do not overpower that delicate fish with cajun spice - salt, pepper, sauteed in butter or breaded with flour and cornmeal and fried in lard. You are right the best fish of all.
Nice catch love that fish. What part of lake is boat ramp you guys used. Thanks
Nice videos brother 😁👍👍👍I love it I just looveet it 👍👍👍😁
Is that the Kettle Falls launch?
Nicely done!
Yeah, there's nice chunk of meats in the cheeks and the under wings are awesome snacks as well. Learned it from my Native friend.
the ASMR cheese bag was my favorite part
Love watching your video brother. Keep it up
When it comes to those pin bones you cut along each side of the bone line at the fat part of the filet and just Pull-A-Part. They call it a zipper zipper in the filet
Thanks for sharing, Calvin. I'll have to look into that next time!
fish fry , we would take the filets and cut thin angle slices from head to tail not more than 1/2 inch the thinner the better . fresh ranch dressing , malt vinager and jalapeno tobasco were the 3 things we would dip the battered slices into . we cooked the pieces well golden crispy is best for fish fry you might think they are over cooked but dont worry the malt V dip first then ranch then jajapeno is just mouth watering when you try them . i myself just mixed all 3 togather to save the time lol its that good ;) and yes the cheeks when the fish are larger they will give you a chunk of delicious meat like a scallop ;) hope you try eye fishing again its very easy to get hooked on ;)
Killed it!
You are great.
What is the limit to catch walleye a day?
Just wait til you start hooking into some eyes that are over 20 inches. Deep fried, yummmmmmmmmm. Get another tackle box just for them. Lots of different ways to catch them. Sure am glad you are back. We missed you.
Ahh tackle from the white elephant. Love that place.
But like alway sweet video keep it up man can’t wait for more
Very good day of walleye. What boat launch is that? What area did you fish?
Hey Samong! Really like your channel. Just bought a boat and some jiggin raps. Where would you suggest launching from on Roosevelt?
Did you put in at Kettle Falls? Nice job!
All these people complaining about keeping these fish.... I guess taking 5 minutes to research before imposing their ignorance on others is too much to ask. Probably why most of them have no content or created second channels just to stay anonymous. Id hate to see what they would think if they found out about the pike nets.... or pikeminnow bounty fishing.
Great video man! Can you do a burbot fishing video? Not a lot of burbot fishing videos from Washington.
It's on my list I want to do sometime!
@@SamongOutdoors definitely will watch it.
Damn what’s your limit per person? Every where I fish at is always 6. Nice haul though man walleye is one of my favorites but I’m not sure if I would say it’s the best. I live near Lake Erie so a lot of people would be mad if they heard me say that lol
It's 16 per person here. They're overpopulated in this part of the river.
Someone stop to this hungry guy😡
Awesome video! Remember, if you’re stuff is in a flour tortilla, it’s a burrito. Put it all in a corn tortilla and you’ll have tacos.
Very interesting! I did not know that. I just went based off what was written on the packaging of the tortillas and it said "soft taco" haha. Thanks for educating me! :D
Este muchacho tiene mucha educasion que no tiene ni un TH-camr 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍😁
Wo Nice Fishing man 🐟🎣👍😯
Damn 24” is the size we can harvest the rest have to go back - Illinois
Nice job buddy great fish.
Another great video
Hey bro, quick question. I just bought a small fiberglass Livingston trolling boat paired with a 50lb thrust min kota , can I fish this lake with my trolling motor? Is there any tough under current? Should I buy 4hp outboard? Any info helps , new to boats and stuff. Thanks in advance 🤙🏾
Wow we drove by that lake and wanted to know whats in that lake. Its close to where my dad lives.....tonto basin
walleye are good if you gut them, cut off head, boil for 15 mins, remove skin, grill on treager low for 2 hrs with alder, debone, cook with fav taco seasoning, proceed as normal.
no fish limit in this state?
In West Virginia the limit is Two. One can be over 30", the other has to be under 20"....very difficult to get, but damn it was nice catching 7,8,10, and 12 pounder in one evening. Average size people catch is seven pounds! Not many little ones at all, in fact all my Walleyes this whole year were on musky lures, none under 7". My biggest ever was here 15 pounds and over 33"
Now that sounds like a well-managed lake. We have an abundance of walleye here in which majority of them are small because there's too much competition on the same food sources. There's certainly big ones here, but they're much harder to come by. It goes back to the idea of having 1 antelope feeding 10 skinny lions, or having 10 antelope feeding 1 fat lion. Would love to catch 7+ pounders on average. As for Lake Roosevelt, I'm not sure when I'll get to do that!
@@SamongOutdoors I actually caught them in the Kanawha River, an extremely unique river that is made up of the New River (oldest or second oldest in the world), and the Gauley River...It has mountain trout stream tributaries, and runs into the mighty Ohio River. Very diverse. My biggest walleye was 15 pounds 33 1/2". I have caught a four foot flathead catfish as well.
Shoulda cooked up that burbot too. Good stuff brother
Not sure if you have northern pike in your lakes, but if you fillet around the bones (many how to vids to clean pike) go catch, clean and cook a few and let me know. You'll be thanking me later.
I love the boat! I'm a huge fan of fishing from anything that floats. If I had to fish from a piece of Styrofoam (not a comparison just an example) I most definitely would. My favorite is kayak fishing and if its all I got I will take it anywhere.
Looks like you got your lures from the White Elephant!
Go bad there retiring
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. When it comes to fish tacos, corn tortillas.
Lots of people use corn tortillas, but I'm just not a fan of it... maybe somethings wrong with me lol.
Samong Yang Outdoors haha it’s all good... eat whatever tortillas you want!
What did you bread it with before you fried it?
Louisiana Fish Fry Breading Mix
Are you just using a GoPro for your videos?
@@patrickgodoy6059 No, I also use another camera that is listed in the description of the video.
banks lake whitefish Awesome .
Does it taste like crappie? Never tried walleye fishing before but definitely gonna try it this year. Keep doing what ur doing God bless...
Similar, but I really prefer the texture and overall taste of walleye meat over crappie.
i like your videos keep up the good work
I count more than 20 walleye in your picture. Isn't the washington state limit 8 per person?
16 per person
besides grilling or frying do you also smoke the fish
That actually sounds good.
Great content friend!!!
Hi Samong watching your walleye video at Lake Roosevelt l love it it’s awesome lots of fun I want to do it someday I was wondering if you can go with us I also have a TH-cam channel hooked for a nice meal. Thank you Serge
what are the regs there ? i grew up on a lake where eyes had to be 18 inch and you only were alloud to keep 3 per day 1 can be over 21
16 per person, no daily limit. Walleye were illegally introduced here, so the increased limit is to limit walleye predation on native fish populations. There's an ongoing conversation of switching the walleye regs to: no daily limit and no size restrictions. There's a lot of walleye in Lake Roosevelt in which, it may be too much.
ok i check website washington regs seems like most waters are 15 limit with no size regs . not sure if that res produces larger fish on a regular basis . our lake in colorado at the time was a egg producing lake which game n fish would milk eyes every year , i helped a few years which was very fun and great way to see the breeding stock in the lake. and the size of fish we normally caught were 16-17 inchers alot then 18-19 inchers were there in full force if you found the sweet spot just outside of the smaller ones then 21-30+ were for the guys who really know and understood the topography of the lake and habits of eyes . i will say with the regulations so tough on our lake made it an awesome fishery , 3 fish even at 18 inches gave enough meat for some tasty fish fries ;)
@@SamongOutdoors oh man that would be great to fish then lol , i can see them wanting them gone with them hammering the native fish . we had that kind of bounty on pike on a few lakes n water ways , which was basicly dont release them if caught and catch all you want . i was mainly trout fisherman i spent most my time flyfishing in the rockies on the south platte river . got turnes onto eyes in about 2000-2003 where i focused my time to hammering . i wound up buying a 14ft valco with a 9.9 hp outboard and a troll mtr in front with my depth finder . our lakes we generally fished shallow 12-15ft in spring-summer on sunken roads or river beds were main targets . we had the maps of our lake since it was made back in mid 70s by the corps engineers , nice to have maps of roads n gravel pits .. anything that stuck out main river n lil creeks are hot spots . i live in wyoming now and get eyes n sauger in the river just not in abundance might get 2-3 a day if lucky . anyways keep hammering them i know about fish that are introduced illigally and its nice to have a high bounty on them lol
i was hooked bad when i got the boat i bought 4 rods for bottom bouncing wich were bait casters , 4 rods for spooning or jigging open face reels . i had 2 rod holders in back and 2 in front , i made sure when i had the wife or anyone that wanted to go out fishing with me they had full setup for what we chose to do lol was a good thought but im a fisherman i go overboard when i get hooked on anything . catfihing here is main target i live on the bighorn river too far from any res so trout are out and cats well ave 6-15 lbs are targeted i bought 2 10ft rods 1-8ft (only 1 left ) and 2 7ft all king kat and bough 5 open faced big spin reels which i put 20lb line on all since the channels are not massive rare to catch a 30+ here . now with over 50 rod n reel sets lol i should open a fishing camp lol oh well you can never have too much ;) maybe ill try to get up there some day and harvest a ton of eyes
Do those jigs have any weight to them? Or do they dive down?
The ones we were using were 5/8oz. They dive on their own.
Great job.. loved the video.. please look at how to remove the pin bones via the zipper method.. it's brilliant and it takes out the whole mud line.. no fishy taste when that is gone. Look up zipper, walleye and pinbone on TH-cam
Awesome video
Over there at Keller’s ferry?
What part of the lake is that?
