It was a night we’ve been looking forward to for a long time with the team from Vertical Jigs and Lures. We hit the water after dark with one mission—hunt down night walleye and put the HAVOC HD-30s to work in search of the next state record.

We spent the night trolling, covering water, and dialing in the program, pulling nothing but Havocs the entire time. While the true giant didn’t show itself this run, the river still rewarded us with some beautiful, hard-fighting walleye. Every fish that hit the deck came on Vertical Jigs and Lures Havocs, proving once again just how effective these baits are when it comes to night fishing.

Beyond the fish, it was an all-around great night on the water—good conversations, solid action, and time well spent doing what we love. The cameras were rolling from start to finish, so keep an eye out for the upcoming release of this night-fishing episode. There’s plenty of footage, good info, and some great moments coming your way.

The hunt for the big one continues—and nights like this are exactly what trophy season is all about.
