What Bass & Walleye Anglers Can Learn From Each Other | Ike's Bytes ft. John Hoyer
Guys… this one is different. And trust me — you need to hear it. On this week's Ike's Bytes presented by Berkley Labs, Mike sits down with one of the most accomplished tournament walleye anglers on the planet — two-time National Walleye Tour Champion John Hoyer — for a conversation that is going to change the way you think about fishing. Period. Because here's the thing, guys. Bass anglers and walleye anglers have been fishing side by side for decades — and most of them have no idea how much they could be learning from each other. The baits. The techniques. The presentations. The strategies. There is a MASSIVE crossover happening right now and John Hoyer is the perfect guy to break it all down. Here's what we're getting into: The crossover baits that are flat out KILLING it for both bass AND walleye — and why more anglers aren't using them What bass guys can steal from the walleye world to immediately catch more fish What walleye pros are taking from the bass fishing playbook and using to win tournaments How fishing pressure and clear water tactics translate across both species Why the gap between bass fishing and walleye fishing is smaller than you think John's journey from musky guide to two-time NWT Champion — and what it taught him about reading fish across every species This is Ike's Bytes — and this one is a MUST WATCH for any angler who wants to think outside the box and catch more fish. Let's go.
