A favorite among anglers, walleye are known for their sharp eyesight and elusive nature. Whether you're jigging along rocky points or trolling through deeper waters, these fish provide steady action and an unbeatable shore lunch.
If you’re looking for a fight, northern pike won’t disappoint. These aggressive predators strike hard and put up a powerful battle, making them one of the most exciting fish to reel in.

Pound for pound, smallmouth bass are some of the hardest-fighting freshwater fish. Their acrobatic jumps and relentless energy make them a thrill to catch, especially in clear, rocky waters.
