8:24
either he here's a good early morning

catch using a unique technique
8:39
what we're fishing for today
8:41
are i guess you'd call them suspended
8:42
walleye wouldn't you pete yes we're um
8:45
in about 20 feet of water
8:47
and what's happening
8:49
the uh
8:50
the walleye are pushing the shad
8:53
right up to the surface they're hurting
8:55
them
8:56
and they'll actually school them all in
8:58
one area and you'll see shad jumping up
9:02
frantically i guess it's called
9:03
definitely and usually if you throw your
9:06
crank bait right down in the middle of
9:08
them
9:10
you just better hold on
9:12
we'll also fish for walleye using the
9:14
more traditional canadian method
9:25
[Music]
9:28
[Applause]
9:33
if pike fishing is more to your liking
9:35
this is what we've got planned for you
9:38
well there's fish in here but you see a
9:39
body of water
9:40
like that oh see that
9:44
i even waited a second that time and he

a lot of people sit back and laugh and
10:32
go look at that little thing how could
10:33
he get a thrill to catching something
10:34
like that but if you could have seen the
10:36
way that fish came up and hit it
10:38
and
10:39
you just put him back in the water and
10:40
he'll hit again tomorrow maybe he'll
10:41

15:08
[Music]
15:10
okay i'm not even going to see the ice
15:11
fish of this one oh that one
15:13
listen let's try it beautiful i thought
15:15
it was messed up with the lake business
15:17
look at the size i think look at the
15:18
size of that thing
15:20
look at that do the shiner off the line
15:22
just like that's just like you said
15:23
jerry it's gonna happen just like you
15:25
said did i have them good jesus yeah
15:27
yeah not bad not bad look at the size of
15:30
them
15:31
isn't that something
15:33
so they blow that shiner right up the
15:34
line with that yeah without going up
15:36
just like you would a worm
15:38
yeah because they're trying to spit it
15:39
out but the hook stays in the mouth
15:40
right they like it incredible
15:43
something it's not a beauty
15:46
isn't that a beauty what if that's jerry
15:47
how big do you think that fish is going
15:49
to go i think you'll go seven pounds
15:50
seven pounds he might even be bigger
15:52
than that
15:56
fish can still put on a lot of weight
15:58
though couldn't oh yeah i think it'd go
15:59
another what another pound
16:00
of the year the fish would weigh uh
16:02
probably nine nine pounds yeah look at
16:04
the full tail tom yeah isn't that pretty
16:07
beautiful fish now you got to kick out
16:08
of looking at that all right
16:10
why don't we keep him in the box we'll
16:11
show reno on the boys because we do have
16:13
that bet going yeah that's right
16:15
yeah excellent lean
16:17
i love that shiner fishing
16:24
what about 40 45 feet yeah we're
16:25
probably 40 feet
16:27
i noticed the fish gave up pretty quick
16:28
once they come up to the surface like
16:30
it's almost like getting the bends isn't
16:31
that right when you're pulling them
16:32
straight up that
16:34
from that far down
16:37
whoa
16:39
all right now wait we get to the big
16:41
ones guys that's the baby right that's
16:43
what i like to hear that's what i like
16:45
to hear nothing but a little southern
16:47
confidence there
16:49
now i think the time we drift down to
16:50
the end of the cove here
16:52
we should pick up another way another
16:54
good sized one
16:57
[Music]
17:19
[Music]
17:25
still on bass fishing our exclusive
17:27
coverage of the 1986 canadian pro bass
17:30
classic will put you out on the water
17:32
following a field of 40 of the top best
17:34
anglers from canada and the us who are
17:36
chasing lunker bass and the first place
17:38
winner share of ten thousand dollars
17:41
we've got fishing action from both days
17:43
of the two day tournament and you'll
17:45
actually see the winning weight being
17:46
caught as well
17:48
we'll have pre-tournament mid-tournament
17:50
and post-tournament interviews with the
17:52
top contenders and of course the
17:54
weigh-ins
18:18
[Music]
18:20
okay i see two other anglers just over
18:23
they're actually working a little
18:25
further out from shore which is
18:27
interesting because everybody we've seen
18:29
so far today has been very tight to
18:31
shore
18:32
possibly these anglers are working a
18:34
weed flat
18:36
i would
18:37
think they're using spinnerbaits we'll
18:39
move a little bit closer and we'll see
18:41
exactly what they are doing
18:44
we're watching bob walton and dan
18:46
fontana what they're doing is they're
18:48
working a section of pencil reed
18:51
they're getting right on the outside
18:52
edge and casting into the pencil reed
18:55
with spinner baits they both appear to
18:57
be using white skirts which is maybe
18:59
tells us something right there possibly
19:02
that's the kind of color the fish are
19:04
reacting to today and they've developed
19:06
a pattern
19:11
there's a fish right there all right
19:16
now you talk about getting fish in the
19:17
boat quick we don't waste time in these
19:20
tournaments it's in the boat into the
19:21
live well if it's a keeper fish
19:24
okay we're watching dennis leeson's boat
19:27
they're right back in the thick of the
19:29
weeds
19:30
what it looks like they're doing oh they
19:32
just got a fish on right now dennis just
19:34
pulled out a fish he was flipping the
19:36
reeds
19:37
and there you go i don't know if that's
19:39
their first fish of the day or not
19:41
we've been fortunate enough to find our
19:43
leader from yesterday colin stass
19:46
fishing over to our left as he worked
19:48
some lily pads with spinner baits
19:52
oh there's a fish oh all right man at
19:55
the back of the boat has a fish
19:59
now there's a good partner as well picks
20:01
up the net right away
20:04
pick up the fish and it's in the boat
20:05
all right a keeper that looks like a
20:08
nice fish
20:10
from here i would say two and a half
20:12
three pounds
20:23
