Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, Minnesota, National Fishing /

When it comes to walleyes, he is the G.O.A.T., having proven himself through guiding, promotions, and competitive events. He is also able to coax bass out of heavy cover and catch them on everything from topwater to spinnerbaits. His prowess with panfish is legendary and his talent with river techniques puts him in a class by himself.
So imagine my surprise when Gary Roach, aka: “Mr. Walleye” told me we should go out on the water to catch some… whitefish.
