Power Fishing Walleyes

Catching up with Walleye Pro’s: Isaac Lakich and Hunter Nitti

This week, we are on the shores of Mille Lacs Lake chatting with walleye pros Hunter Nitti and Isaac Lakich. The two share how the “pond” is fishing as they are pre-fishing for a tournament on Mille Lacs this weekend. It’s the midpoint of a busy tournament season, and we swap stories and highlights from recent events. In addition, we discuss the strategy and passion for chasing down big walleyes at different locations across the country.

Lake Winnipeg Crush City

This week, we recap an epic trip to Lake Winnipeg. Tony and Robbie met up with friends for a “bucket list” open water trip on Big Windy, and it did not disappoint.

Champions Tour Mille Lacs Walleye Event

This week, the Champions Tour hosted a one-day Walleye event on Mille Lacs Lake, where anglers competed for $10,000 in first-place prize money. We sit down with tournament director Dane Vocelka to discuss how this “every fish counts” format is changing the game in walleye tournaments. In addition, we interview a few of the top anglers on successful tactics, strategy, and how they were able to overcome a wickedly windy day on the pond.

Opener Recaps from the Guides

It’s been a fantastic week to be on the water. Tony sits down with fellow guides Mitch Hackenmueller and Remington Moren to discuss walleye tactics on both Leech Lake and Mille Lacs. The group dives into locations and “go-to” jigging presentations for springtime walleyes. We also discuss how rising surface temperatures are quickly changing the walleye bite.  Presented by: Strike Master (rapala.com/us_en/strikemaster) & 13 Fishing (rapala.com/us_en/13-fishing [https://www.rapala.com/us_en/13-fishing]), On-X Fish (onxmaps.com/fish), & Arnesen's Rocky Point Lodge (arnesens.com/ [https://arnesens.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=6526431332&gbraid=0AAAAADAjWPD14yDYE3jJ6tj7Ls11aChSB&gclid=Cj0KCQjwyr3OBhD0ARIsALlo-OkdRrDamz2NnWXn30N7Yb9V0FS8eD_nPtsqNjAelmk-u9EJIH63ubkaAlZrEALw_wcB]) See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy [https://art19.com/privacy] and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info [https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info].
