Sometimes it's an all-night affair.
Yeah, one thing about it, we got plenty of time.
Got one working here.
It's taking a little...
God, that looks like a...
That's a good fish.
Oh, look at him go.
Out here in the water, just a little bit further.
Oh, good fish, Toad.
You're back.
There we are.
You're going to have to come out here and get him.
Too bad of a fish.
Oh, he'll go about 15, 18 pounds.
Let's see if I can get a hold of this Joe.
I got both hands full here with the flashlight.
He'll hold still.
All right, right down in here.
Oh, you got it.
Those are dandy.
I just wonder how many of them are in this hole.
About seven pounds, wouldn't you say?
Yeah, he's at least seven.
His head weighs seven.

Pretty fish.
Should we do a turning loose?
Uh, yeah, let's...
I got that other one for still photos.
Boy.
Tall skin.
Boy, that hook is really buried in that old corner of his mouth.
Let's just cut her out.
Cut the hook and let her.
Okay.
He can have a little rod out of there in a day or two.
Well, that won't hurt him, will it?
No.
Here, let him go.
Back to the devs.
That's a lot of fish.
That's a lot of fish for one night, I'll tell you that right now.
Oh, terrible folks.
You know, Doug, I think a lot of fishermen,
cat fishermen make the mistake when they come to a river,
they just fish the first hole they come to.
Oh, absolutely.
You know, we know about a nine-mile section of river here,
and this is absolutely the biggest and the baddest,
I'm talking the deepest hole in this section.
And we've got a five-mile straight section above us,
and all the timber from up there is blowing into this big corner here.
This is an exceptional hole.
It's just not any hole that you might come to.
Do you think that these cats are gonna just live in this hole
or just gonna stay in this hole,
or do you think they're gonna go up or downstream to other holes?
Well, when the water's down like this,
the fish are gonna get in a big hole like that,
they're gonna stay here.
Now, if the water comes up, they might move around a little,
but for right now, we've got a resident population of catfish
almost trapped right in this hole because of the low water.
Well, as long as we keep our baits placed just right,
it's just a matter of time, then.
We should get some action.
Absolutely.
Pretty good chicken, eh?
I don't know.
Toad! Toad!
That's a flathead catfish.
Toad!
Oh! Yeah, I got a fish.
You got him?
Good fish. Let me tell you, this is a stout.
Well, pump him in.
Yeah, I got him. I got him. Here he comes.
Don't hoarse him too bad.
Get him in where we can see him.
Not just a minute. Not just a minute.
Get a little closer over here. You all right with the light?
A little bit hogging in there.
Oh, they're so tough.
Oh, look at that.
Don't move.
No, don't worry.
Oh, they are so kind.
Oh!
Use the dance.
Whoa!
Easy as right.
I haven't got the drag set, but oh, here he comes now.
I'll get in behind him when you get him in the towel.
All right, let me get him in here tight before you try to get him.
Oh, he's a hog.
There he is.
Holy smokes!
That's a dandy.
Wait now.
Can you get him by the lip?
Oh, I can get him right here.
Whoa! Now we're talking flathead catfish, huh?
That is a dandy.
Oh, that is some fish. Look at there.
Boy, look at the head on that fish.
We've got to keep him for some still shots later.
All right. Well, that fish is 37.
I'm guessing 37 inches long.
25, 26, maybe 27 pounds. I don't know.
I tell you what, go get me that keepsack there.
I want to put him in there.
I want to get a few shots with him pretty soon.
Okay.
That is some kind of critter, huh?
Holy smokes!
Look at that.
Whoa!
This head's bigger than yours.
No.
I tell you what, hand me the keepsack now.
Can I get a...
Yeah, we'll just slide him in right here first like this.
Oh, hey, some kind of fish.
Was he going to fit?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I had a...
I had a good one before.
There we go.
I'm going to get him drug out.
I'll drag him out.
That surprises me.
This is a small river.
I really didn't think we'd get one that big.
Yeah.
That's hot there.
You know, I think, Doug,
once the guys found the place to fish,
I think the real key is having good baits.
Oh, I agree with you.
You know, it's got to be lively.
Got to be lively, and it should be big.
You know, the stuff that we're using tonight
go maybe 6, 7, 8 inches,
but if you're talking suckers,
I'd go 8, maybe 10 inches.
But it's got to be lively.
Just, you know, bait suckers, no good.
Oh, there goes my stick.
Ow.
Yeah, yeah, that looks like a...
Feels pretty good.
Lots of good fish, Toad.
Keep his head down.
Just keep his head down right there.
That's it.
Oh, you bet.
There he comes.
Big fish.
That's another 25.
Oh, he's coming.
Go ahead.
So I can get a better grip.
Look at the size of that mouth.
Oh, yeah.
Another good fish.
You bet.
He's as big as the last one.
He's a little skinnier, though.
He's not quite as heavy as the big one.
He's a dandy.
I don't know how many pounds of fish
we got out of here tonight,
but the whole point is,
is that this is just not an average hole.
We've been up and down the river
looking for fish.
It's taken us a couple days, but it's really paid off.
Location is half the key,
and then, of course, the good live bait.
That's a beautiful fish.
Should we turn him loose?
Well, how big are you guessing first here?

The waterfront is the scene
of the most dramatic interactions
between water, wind, and land.
The energy to power the movements of air and water
comes partly from the heat of the sun,
and partly from the gravitational forces
of the sun, moon, and earth.
Indeed, the entire ecological security
of an aquatic environment
may hinge upon the delicate relationship
of where water meets land.
Perhaps the most fragile of all aquatic systems
are small, cool water streams.
The populations of fish, usually trout,
and insects that inhabit these streams
have a limited tolerance to siltation,
warm water, and other forms
of environmental decay or pollution.
Although streams may slowly degrade
due to natural causes,
a process known as aging,
rapid degradation often occurs
as a result of other things.
Beavers create blockages
which can cause siltation and flooding.
This may create changes
in both water temperature and chemistry,
which reduces fish populations.
Chemical runoff or stream bank degradation
from farming is a common cause
of small stream destruction.
Even relatively small amounts
of industrial pollution
can cause instant ruin to a stream
with a small carrying capacity.
The most pervasive problem
in terms of habitat degradation in streams
is the ultimate erosion that occurs
as a result of loss of vegetation.
A dead tree that topples and blocks the flow
can be a cause.
An increase in planted acreage,
land clearing for development purposes,
increased runoff due to the paving
that accompanies urbanization,
all subtle but real and insidious problems
that directly affect the stream
and those who fish it.
But thankfully, the most common problems
that face small streams can be corrected.
As an example, in our own backyard
at Inn Fisherman,
a local Trout Unlimited group teamed up
with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
to renovate a local stream
known as Stony Brook.
A beautiful little creek running
through miles of woodland,
this stream had undergone the effects
of beavers, fallen trees,
and a gradual widening and silting
of much of the channel.
These effects, although not visibly damaging
the stream to the untrained eye,
rendered it very poor habitat
for the once common brook trout.
The Unlimited and the DNR got together,
made an assessment and a plan,
and went to work to remove the silt
and install structures to restore
the original channel
and create holding pools for fish.
Even without massive stocking,
this restoration will allow
the native population of brook trout
and resident fish from previous stockings
to reestablish themselves.
The joint efforts between these two groups
can be enjoyed by all who fish Stony Brook
and have indeed made the world a little better place.
But the best news?
Thanks to an organization called
the Fish America Foundation,
there are cooperative projects underway
or already completed which are
restoring valuable fisheries.
From the planting of 40,000 brown trout eggs
in Alabama's Thames Ford
to the aeration equipment placed
in Wisconsin's White Lake,
the positive effects are being felt
across the nation.
The community improvement of the Flaming Gorge
and Green River by the Green River
Trout Unlimited Chapter,
the funding of a small trout and salmon hatchery
in conjunction with the Salton High School
Fisheries Program in Washington State,
the purchase of largemouth bass fingerlings
for stocking in the Texas Toledo Bend Reservoir,
a stream improvement project
with the Seneca Chapter of Trout Unlimited
on Skinner Creek in Pennsylvania,
funding assistance for artificial reefs offshore
from Boca Grande and Cayo Costa, Florida.
East, west, north, and south,
the world is indeed being made
a better place for fish and fishermen
with the cooperative efforts of anglers,
agencies, and the Fish America Foundation.

Oh, man!
Come on, baby.
Come on.
Come on, I.
There you go.
Look at that puppy.
Oh, hold still.
I don't want to get...
get stuck by you.
Come on, come on, come on.
Walleye fishing.
I tell you what, I love it.
You know, some of the best walleye fishing
I've ever experienced ever
has been in weed beds
like I'm fishing here.
That's right, weed beds.
The fact of the matter is
some of the best walleye fishing
all across North America
exists in weeds.
I'll put her back.
If you fish a lake
that has a good population of walleyes,
big flats that have weeds on them,
I can guarantee you
there's walleyes in the weeds a lot of times.
In fact, on a lot of bodies of water,
it's the best pattern there is.
This is where you look first.
On a contour map,
the best weed walleye areas
are expensive flats that go from 8 feet deep
to the outer edge of the weeds.
It could be 10, 12, 15 feet of water.
You want to concentrate in areas
that have large living spaces
where the fish can penetrate the weeds.
Quick drop-offs with a narrow band of weeds,
rarely hold any amount of walleyes.
Okay, now that you know what to look for
when you're hunting walleyes in weeds,
let me show you three main presentations.
This happens to be a rattle bait or a crank bait.
I got a little wire striker on this.
What this is for is to cut the weeds for me.
That last walleye that I took out of there,
you're just casting up on top of these weed flats
like this, reeling down,
and every time you grab those cabbage weeds with that,
you just snap it like this.
If it grabs, you snap it.
And many times, most of the time,
after you break free of those weeds,
that's when you get the strike on a walleye.
These crank baits are for walleyes
that are fairly active.
Low-light conditions like I'm faced with today,
early in the day, late in the day,
windswept situations, or prefrontal conditions,
walleyes in weeds will go on a crank.
They're active fish.
When you're fishing a neutral fish,
a fish that isn't quite that aggressive,
and they're not high in the weeds
or out on the edges chasing real good,
another presentation comes into play.
I like to anchor for this presentation.
Hey, I'll tell you what.
Working from an anchor position like this
is something most of you don't do enough of
when you're walleye fishing,
especially when you're hitting high-percentage spots.
I just anchored up off of a little pocket in the weed line,
a little pocket that comes out here,
and it comes out on a point.
Slow tapering drop-off with scattered weeds.
The key to an anchor position
is either on the point or in the pocket.
A little wind blowing into it is a necessity
in most cases when you're fishing weedline fish.
And in an anchor position in the weeds,
I prefer to fish with a jig.
You could go in there with a nitro or a leech,
but the panfish will drive you absolutely bonkers, man.
So a jig is the best.
But take a look at this particular jig.
This is a foxy jig, but look at the shape of the head.
It's scooped down the eye right on the nose of it.
When it lays into those weeds,
I can just slip it right on through.
All year long, when I'm fishing weed walleyes with a jig,
I prefer to fish in minnow.
In this case, I got a little rainbow,
just tipped on normally the way you would fish it.
But the shape of the jig head is critical for these weeds.
That's the most important.
The key to catching walleyes out of the weeds
from an anchor position like this
is the anchor position, obviously.
This little pocket comes out on a slow taper.
It's not a real sharp drop-off.
And when those active walleyes come out of those weeds,
they come out to this edge, and the weed bed is scattered.
It's sparse weed.
So I don't have a problem fishing it with a jig.
Naturally, you don't take a jig like this
and go into these heavy, heavy mats of weeds.
You can't fish it through them.
You want to get on the sparser, scattered edges.
Throw her up, short cast.
You don't have to make a long cast.
I like to be only about 30 feet from the edge of the weed line.
Your contact point is usually about a 10-foot area.
I fish it about halfway back.
As soon as I break out of the weeds,
I fish it about two ways back.
Rarely will I fish it all the way back
unless I got a big school of fish working.
Most of the time, they're right in that first transition
where the weed edge ends.
Cast it out, you leave it sinking into the weeds.
I just felt it lay on top of the cabbage stalk.
You just kind of pop it free like that.
And as soon as you pop it free,
you always let the jig fall back.
That's when you're going to get back.
They're down right in the middle.
Oh, good!
Oh!
That's a good eye.
Stay tuned.

The nice thing about a Mariner Outboard
is that it starts when you need it.
And it lasts for years.
Decades.
Which is more than you can say for some things you own.
Mariner Outboards.
Better in the long run.
It teases.
It torments.
Until finally someone loses his temper.
The foxy jig.
Just begging for trouble.
That's what they're living in.
Look at that.
Cabbage weeds.
Oh, nice weed walleye, huh?
Oh, baby.
Got her just where you want to hook them.
The jig works the best for walleyes like this
when they're in a neutral mood.
The active fish in a crankbait,
day in and day out the jig and minnow is the answer.
Put this puppy back.
Okay, we talked about the active fish on crankbaits.
The neutral fish on a jig and minnow anchor position
along the weed line.
Now I want to talk about those negative fish.
Maybe not really negative,
but when those fish aren't chasing
or really not real active,
but they're still tight on the weed line,
particularly real sharp drop-offs,
and that's the key.
Real sharp drop-offs.
Okay, what we're fishing here is a real tight drop-off
where the weed line is the drop-off.
It goes to about 15 feet,
and at 15 it just keeps going right down to 30 feet.
An area like this inside a tight weed line,
it's a waste of time to cast up high.
The fish aren't that high.
The drop-off is too tight.
You can't fish a real effective wooded jig.
The object to be in a strike zone the majority of the time
is to fish parallel to the weed line,
staying right on that edge,
and the best way I know how to do it
is with a live bait rig.
Bullet-shaped slip-sinkers
so you can slide through the weeds.
Short-snell.
I got a little weedless hook,
a little piece of marabou attractor on here,
and again, day in and day out,
I prefer in the weeds a minnow,
mainly because you don't get bit all up
by perch and bluegills and everything else,
and you get a few bonus bass,
smallmouth, largemouth, northern,
but short-snell, minnow, weedless hook,
and the object, the whole thing is boat control.
Just flip a line out here,
watch your depth finder,
and you're hugging parallel to the weed line.
You're parallel to it.
Leave your bale open.
You have no dead casts.
Every wallet that's on that weed line,
you're going to get a bait to.
If you're casting up or down
on those tight weed lines like that
too many times, the fish has never seen a lure.
You can do it in a controlled drift.
You can back-troll it.
The whole point is keep it parallel.
See how she's running?
Ooh, that fish, that's a good one.
Look at, ooh, that's a gem.
That's a gem.
Whoa.
Got one of them big good fish.
Ooh, there she is.
I got a flash.
Whoo.
Look at that puppy.
Huh?
Oh, man.
Huh?
Look at that beauty.
Eh?
That fish is hooked so good,
I'd have never lost her.

Saltwater fish was as power and speed
that is legendary among anglers.
Obviously, huge fish like sails, tuna, and tarpon are tough.
But even smaller saltwater fish are many times faster
and stronger than their freshwater counterparts.
It's almost as though the salinity of the ocean
makes them atomic-powered.
Does this mean only the heartiest
and most experienced freshwater anglers
are sufficiently skilled to contend with saltwater fish?
We'll see.
As in, fishermen producer Larry Dahlberg
and Captain J.C. Wells
give a group of inexperienced freshwater anglers
their first taste of salt.
We got on one of J.C.'s favorite wrecks.
He's got over 400 of them that he works.
Hooked up some crabs and tossed them out.
Honestly, this is the truth.
I kept track of my watch, and it was only taking
from 7 to 15 seconds before someone
would get hooked up on a permit.
We're talking action.
Is he going to break the line if I pull it up?
Ooh!
Everybody got bit, and everybody caught a permit.
Lots and lots of them.
Oh!
I'm scared!
Let's see him hold on.
Oh, wow!
Oh, my goodness!
In fact, J.C. turned my son Aaron
into an absolute confirmed saltwater angler.
He's a great angler.
In fact, J.C. turned my son Aaron
into an absolute confirmed saltwater angler,
and at the same time, coached him
as he caught the biggest fish of his life.
And that is some permit.
And anybody who's fished for him knows
he's a mighty tough.
I'd like to pick him up
so we get a little white water out of him,
but he's totally, totally uncooperative.
I could take a 30-pound muskie
after this length of time,
and with this tackle right here,
he'd flop all over the surface,
and we could show him to America
full of him white water.
Not like that.
He's coming up again, though.
You about got him here.
All the way down.
Now, ease him up.
He's under the boat right now.
I can see him down there.
Mine? Mine.
Let me get this.
Oh, my God.
Holy man.
Oh, my God.
We got him.
We released him.
Hey, Mel.
Come on, hurry up.
I hate this fish.
That's it.
Oh, he's a good shape.
He's probably a better shape than you are.
Probably.
My arm feels like it's gonna fall off.
Melanie released her fish.
I flipped out a fly, and guess what?
It took about 10 seconds.
And by the way, catching a permanent on a fly
is supposed to be the accomplishment of a lifetime.
But nobody in our boat was too impressed
because Marilyn had already hooked a Colby.
I'm ready to fall.
Oh!
Holy hoot!
Whoo!
Mary!
Boy!
Marilyn was mighty proud of her Colby all right,
and Shane was proud of the permadeat battle
took for an hour on 8-pound test line.
But that battle ended quickly
when a 10-foot hammerhead entered the scene.
Shane immediately got rigged up with a shark pole
as the rest of us continued to fish.
About a minute went by,
and Shane had something tugging on his line.
Something big.
Engines! Engines! Engines!
Get her down!
Tip down! Tip down!
Tip down!
How'd you get him out of the water?
You're a big boy!
This big shark was about all Shane wanted to handle,
and J.C. was just glad to get the thing
out of his favorite permit hole.
Here we go!
Everybody back.
What a great day.
Permit, Colbia, even sharks.
But believe it or not,
this is a typical day with J.C. Wells.
I swear, if you cut that man open,
salt water would run out.
Are you going to come with us or not?
Oh, I've had enough for one night.
It was Colbia and stuff.
What do you think now?
Disneyland or fishing the wrecks with J.C.?
Compared to the wrecks,
Disneyland is Mickey Mouse.
Wreck fishing with J.C.
is a great first taste of salt water
for the whole family,
regardless of experience level.
Call J.C. and get some salt water
pumped into your veins.
