Underwater Walleye Trolling Bites, Strikes & Follows 2019

OK this is it! My favourite underwater video that I have ever made. Super clear shots of big schools of walleye, nice strikes and structure. Ever wonder what it looks like when the walleyes bite your crankbait. This is the video for you. It shows how walleyes react to slow trolling and fast trolling. We were trolling for walleyes using a 30 ft Tail dancer from Rapala and reef runner crankbaits. This was all shot at Elk Island Lodge on Gods Lake, Manitoba, Canada. Thank you for watching !!

Camera Used: Water Wolf HD v1.1

Super cool! Thanks for sharing!

Cool stuff, Thanks for posting.

How do you know when to pause or slow it down to try to trigger strikes?

More proof that it takes females a while to make a decision!

Very cool!

Thanks everyone!

I don’t, this camera doesn’t have a live feed and I don’t know if the fish is following or not. I did see fish on my fish finder and was making a turn around an island so that often slows it down. Or my partner getting a fish would cause me to slowly put the boat out of gear for a bit and often triggered a strike.

That is a great video. Had to watch it twice. Keep them coming.

Right on. The speed changes in the video were well timed. It is crazy to see the ratio of how many fish are in the area to the ones that bite. This is similar to marking a bunch on the locator and only catching a couple.

Live feed would be something else. I am sure it will happen one day.

How do you rig the camera? Do you clip it on the line and send the rest of the line out like normal? How far away from the bait to you clip it on?

The camera is attached to a mount which has the same wire as a musky bucktail spinner. so I tie my main line to that and run a 3-foot leader off the back wire loop of the wire.

Thanks for answering my questions.
