  1. I was in South Dakota but can’t say where exactly… I actually just moved to Maine though which is great and also a little bitter sweet. I love targeting trout on glides, I’d try the smaller jointed claws too. They work really well for me.

    That is an awesome fish!

    Just out of curiosity, what were you using?  Ive caught a few decent walleyes in low 38-low 40s water temp on the TK and the deps 175.  Nothing like this tank tho.

    maybe DM me sometime and I’ll consider giving up the bait info haha, deps 175 is a great bait for these conditions and fish. I got a lot of followers on the deps 250 during these fishing sessions but only got bites on a different bait. In more remote fisheries I’ve caught a lot of big walleye on 9-10” glides. From my experiences any bait that is around 1/3rd of their length is fair game. So when I’m targeting 29+” walleye my starting point is usually 9-10” lures and I may dial it back an inch or two if they are not committing that particular day.

    Fish of a lifetime for most. Congrats! 

    It certainly could be but I’m still pretty young (: my dad caught a 32.5” walleye with me once when I was younger so I’m still chasing that caliber of walleye, really hoping for a teener at some point! This lake was fishing really well for big ones and I know there are 30+ inchers in it. I caught 5 over 27-28” walleyes the next evening on this spot on the same big bait so the potential is always there! 

  4. Those other ones were fat 18-21” fish too lol made for a fun picture. My dad once had a 32” plus inch walleye come up and eat a 12” walleye off his hook at the surface. Later that trip he caught a similar sized walleye to the one he saw which was 32.5”

  5. Been dialing in a big swim bait bite for big walleyes the last few Novembers. Really seems to catch me big ones in water temps below 40 degrees right up until ice up. This day was 37 degree water temp. A big mark came up out of 13’ of water and smoked my bait mid column. It was a short intense fight and I got her in the net. 29” long 11 pounds and so round! It got a healthy release, I just put her in the well for a minute while I set up my camera.

  6. Glad the video was helpful, definitely a tricky thing to figure out… hopefully someone eventually drops a good formula online so it’s easier to do with less waste/risk. Maybe it already exists out there. I would love to do this to my slide swimmers but don’t want to risk ruining one at the moment.

  7. I am very interested in this as well, my thought is to maybe use foam that Larry dahlberg features in one of his old videos. Or possibly get a hold of the company who sells that two part foam he likes. They might be able to recommend a formula that you could fill the bait up with, drill pilot holes in and put heavier duty screw eyes in for the joint. Then at least the judge will be adjustable, you might just have to tinker a bit more with the weights to get the desired sink rate. 

  8. Megabass black jungle power versatile F6.5 7’4” Regular taper 3/8-4oz rating

    very good condition, a few tiny cosmetic blemishes. Will come in nice rod sleeve and ship in hard plastic tube. 
    it is a great 2-4 oz bait rod and fishes jointed claw 178, RM negotiator, and tiny clash particularly well. Handle is a few inches shorter than most swimbait rods so it fishes a lot more like a 7’8” rod.

  10. I think he is a bit dramatic on how he talks about the bait and how much time and effort it took him to design it. I understand that there are small differences between his bait and the magdraft but they are very similar in action and appearance. If he just came out and said he was trying to come out with a better version of a magdraft I would have a lot more respect for him. All these professional anglers and companies out there ripping off existing baits and then pretending like they came up with the idea with their own blood sweat and tears is just ridiculous and immediately makes me loose a little respect for them. Seems like a low integrity move but maybe their is more to the story then zaldain/bass mafia is leading onto, maybe they made a deal with megabass.
