Oh yeah, I'm usually keep a cat line in why I fish for there fish on my other pole. I catch and release toof, most of the time. As far as walleye go, I've ...more only got a few in the lake. A boat would prolly help get more but regardless u gotta work for them. I have the best luck in the river at dozens of spots depending on weather and water conditions. Walleye are tricky to hook and especially land. Gotta be super quick and no slack in the line. Took me several lures and lots of snags in new locations till I finally caught, then I was able to identify a bit for a walleye. Practice, practice
