Walleye, not Sauger. - Body Color: Sauger are a brassy color with large dark blotches. Walleye are a solid golden color all across their upper body. Dorsal fin: Sauger have dark spots on their top (dorsal) fin. Walleye don’t have spots, but their last two spines are solid black. Tail: Walleye have a white patch on the lower fin of their tail. Sauger tails are the same pattern all over. Size: Walleye are larger than Sauger. Most Sauger max out at around 15 inches. Walleye often hit double that. Both are very tasty.
I love when you come to my neck of the woods. I've caught big walleye, drum, hybrids, a small spoonbill, even saw a sturgeon breach once. Good to see you get some action Caught a 4lb walleye right where you got that, heck yes! WHAAAT A BOWFINNNN never knew either
I agree with all - it was a walleye. Sauger have a nice pattern of large dark spots on its body. Walleye will sometimes have a white spot right on the tip of its tail. At least the one's I've seen.
You have a walleye. The best way to tell is, the white spot on the bottom of the tail fin, the black spot at the back of the dorsal fin, and the eyes are cloudy no pupils.
your attention to detail in your post-production is great, I imagine that takes some hours to do, BUT.... that's why we want more and quicker!! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Unlike the sauger, the walleye lacks spots on its dusky dorsal fin, except for a dark splotch at the rear base of the fin, a marking the sauger does not have. The lower tip of the walleye's tail is white, unlike the all-dark lower lobe of the sauger. Source: MN DNR
What a great day. The trees are absolutely unbelievable! I'm from Georgia and I don't remember ever catching a bowfin down here, what a cool fish! Great day and what a cool spot, see ya later Buddy!
Big up from the UK . always a pleasure watching ur fishing adventures .the repeated instrumental track sets the scene perfectly . i was dropping fish bigger than your baits in to perch mouths at the margin and they only went just over 4lb .
Definitely a walleye. The white spot on the tail is a dead giveaway. The Missouri Department of Conservation website is pretty good at describing the different species of fish in the state.
Indeed a walleye my man. In my home town the walleye run every year. Can get em on cranks or jigs. They can get 24-30 inches in some places. Good catch. Good eating.
My Man Cleaned Up! Nice vid as always brother! Get that triple diget kitty! Thats also a Wally or a Walleye. They are also one of the best tasting fresh water fish you can eat.
Very surprised about that walleye, I had no idea that walleye were in the Mississippi river, I am from South Dakota, where I catch walleye quite frequently
Walleye. Saugers have spots on their dorsal fins.
Ive been lucky enough to catch Walleye, Sauger and the combination Saugeye up here in Canada there are loads of them, great fun and great eating too
Definitely walleye very fun to catch
Walleyes also has white on the bottom of the tail fin which this fish also has.
Spots?! I could tell when I saw the Wall in its Eye..👁️ 👁️
That was a walleye. They are one of the best tasting fish you can catch.
i was thinking about you and it popped up ! your the best fisherman on youtube! love your production!!!
The outtakes at the end are always worth sticking around for
Nice walleye!
And very delicious
Your first fish was a Walleye. Saugers typically have a more camo-like pattern and spotted dorsal fins. Nice catch!
enjoy your videos . but this one shows reality of winter coming again, those wonderful colored trees reflecting in the river . awesome stuff
Looks like a walleye. Beautiful day for fishing. Thanks for the adventure. 💕
Walleye have the white on the bottom of their tail fin. So everyone knows how to spot the difference!
Thank you for making these videos. You got me into fishing and it is the best thing ever.❤

Great video. Nick. Keep up the great work.
2:15 it’s a toothy rock bass
The sequence at 7:50 is fantastic and perfectly captures why I watch this channel. Came for the fishing, stay for your vibe.
I've been fishing this spot for 10+ years and never have I seen a bowfin. Nice Catch Man!
Walleye! Nice catch.
Walleye for sure as you can see the white tip on the bottom of the tail! Another great fishing adventure as always!
You're becoming a walleye guy. They are great fun to catch. Thanks for the vid, Nick!
Big Nick is back! Great video
Decent Walleye! Little surprised it went for that rattle trap you were using, but that is a great catch none the less.
Walter and a nice one at that. Boy the colors on the opposite bank are phenomenal!

Definitely a walleye. White spot on the tail. Sauger have dark spots on dorsal fin. Nice fish!
The man the myth the legend……nice one Nick 👍💪
Hey Nick, I love your quest for a 100lb catfish! You may have to go night fishing to get one though; they'll bite better in the dark.
Yea Nick im almost positive that was a walleye....Nice!!
That white on the tail says Walleye! Delicious!
Looked like a walleye to me.
Hi Nick, the first fish you caught is a fish we are regularly targeting in the Netherlands. Here we call it a snoekbaars!
You’re editing towards the 8 minute mark with the music was fantastic!
Great video with some great catches. Well have a great weekend buddy! See you next adventure!
Hellz ya another badass video
the colors look great in the background. keep rocking! peace
Love your videos! Proud that you represent the 618.
Luvin the Fall colours on the river.
You have a walleye. The best way to tell is, the white spot on the bottom of the tail fin, the black spot at the back of the dorsal fin, and the eyes are cloudy no pupils.
The foliage in the background is awesome. Guessing a walleye!!
Yep, walleye my favorite fish
Great video Nick! Lots of species :)
Net handling skills on point 👍
your attention to detail in your post-production is great, I imagine that takes some hours to do, BUT.... that's why we want more and quicker!! Keep up the great work and stay safe!

Need to use a Sante cooper rig on your bottom baits. It will help
Stunning back drop sir
Walleye have a white tip on the bottom fork of their tail, Sauger generally have spots on their dorsal fin
That looks like a walleye for sure. I always love your videos. I just wish you uploaded more frequently. 😊
Keeper walleye in most places. Delicious.
That was a walleye. White tip on the tail. Awesome vid. Cheers.

Definitely a walleye. The white spot on the tail is a dead giveaway. The Missouri Department of Conservation website is pretty good at describing the different species of fish in the state.
The white blotch on the base of the tail is a great indicator for a walleye. Saugers do not have that white blotch on their tail fins.
Word of advice if I may. Carry a pair of scissors and snip off the fins of ur bait. Sometimes they can mess up a hook set
Definitely a Walleye. Nice one.
Indeed a walleye my man. In my home town the walleye run every year. Can get em on cranks or jigs. They can get 24-30 inches in some places. Good catch. Good eating.
great stuff thanks
Looks like a nice 19inch walleye
Great adventure
Beautiful trees
I was just at this place the past Saturday. Nice catches
Of course the big drum spat the hook
"I ain't nobody's bait "
😂
Walleye fo sho!! Nice
Bro I’m so glad you posted
Best get north for some Walleye shore lunch.
Looks like a walleye. Saugers I think have a bunch of splotches all over them. I have never actually caught a saugeye before though
Very beautiful view gonna be winter soon
Walleye and not exactly often caught in that setting and sunshine as well.
Walleye. Sauger are a darker color. Nice catches!!
Your production quality is the best on YT
My Man Cleaned Up! Nice vid as always brother! Get that triple diget kitty! Thats also a Wally or a Walleye. They are also one of the best tasting fresh water fish you can eat.
Walleye were full of them here in Montreal
Your editing is always top notch and the music is awesome.
Enjoyed the content Nick👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
Looks like you had a pretty good day of fishing still a awesome catch
Check out some lakes up in eastern Nebraska. Lots of waleye up there.
That was a walleye and was a great eater. Meat is excellent
Walleye are very tasty
Your first fish was a walleye and are the number sport in Ontario for eating. If you want a tasty fish that is the one to catch.
What a video your editing is amazing some of those shots with all the trees in the background didn’t look real nice work
That was a walleye we have them in Canada. I think we also have walleye tournaments. They also taste good.
I see you've met Walter 😊
I love the vibe of your videos ✌️
Very surprised about that walleye, I had no idea that walleye were in the Mississippi river, I am from South Dakota, where I catch walleye quite frequently

Another great video mate. Love your work. I reckon try some good and proper rotten bait for the big catfish they love it stinky lol.

White tip on the bottom of the tail is walleye
Walleye. Often called pickerel up here in Canada 🇨🇦
