bass vs walleye

It's suprising how many people are saying walleye based on the activity in each of the forums. The bass forum is "used" a lot more it seems. Maybe bass fisherman or more passionate? Who knows?

Like them both, but would have to lean towards bass based on the majority of the tackle I buy and the percentage of time spent fishing for each. It could have something to do with the fact that I seem to be a terrible walleye fisherman.

I am just getting into walleye fishing this year and I am having fun and they taste great. I also like the challenge of catching them too. Bass are fun and there are tons of large bass around because hardly anyone keeps them. I would have to say that I catch most bass just fishing for anything and never really target them but they are fun to catch. Catching smallmouth on the river has been more fun then catching largemouth on the lakes. I would have to say this year walleye is what I am concentrating on most when fishing for a specific species other then pan fish.

Not to take away from this thread or to steer it in any other direction, but my opinion on why the bass forum numbers are higher has to do with the fact that the bass opener was just this past weekend. If you would have looked the weekend or week after walleye opener you would have seen just the opposite of what you are seeing now.

Bass - all the way - i like a little fight when i catchem - walleye better eatin, but like pulling in a wet towel.

You must never have caught a walleye in less than 5ft of water then, cause that's one of the better fights around. Oh yeah, I'll take walleyes every day and twice on Sundays!

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
