Sam, I believe walleyes gain position, flare their gills and inhale their prey even more than bass do. A lot of 'em, even at 2.5 mph, are just suddenly "there"...although some will absolutely annihilate a crank. Once you hook 'em, the larger fish will come in for awhile, then stop and shake their head, come in, stop-n-shake...and if you don't pay attention and play 'em correctly, you'll lose 'em. (Not like locking down and winching in a bass.) Then, of course, when they're 10-12 feet from the boat, no matter what kind of gear you're using, you'd darn well better have your drag set right, because they're taking a power dive and there is no stopping it...

Love 'em.

Here's a quick tip/suggestion...most people bring a walleye aboard with too short a line from the rod tip to the fish, and that's where the problems start--thrashing fish, net troubles, flying hooks and trebles buried in clothing or human flesh. Try to keep no less than a full rod's length of line out at the end, and that'll eliminate a lot of those troubles.

There are several that can put in the right areas, but I don't know if any are like Mike Worley on Bull Shoals. Walleye are his principal target. PM Bill Babler and ask for his answer.

RPS, I've fished with Mike , he is a great guide on BSL caught 2 7 + pounders the day I fished with him and learned alot -- he was well worth the money and a heck of a nice guy too ---- just want to learn TR and Beaver cause they are closer
