Big Fish After Bedtime

Show Date: November 22, 2025

Location: Fox River, Green Bay Wisconsin

It’s become a yearly tradition for us to hit the Fox River after dark in search of jumbo walleyes, and this fall served up one of the nicer nights we’ve had in a while. Conditions on this bite can swing wildly from calm and comfortable to downright brutal, but Captain Brett Jolly is always fired up for it. As he reminds us, the after-dark walleye run can be lights-out—or it can leave you scratching your head—but that unpredictability is part of what makes it so addictive.

This time around, we’re joined by two special guests: personal injury attorney Chris MacGillis and one of his clients, Casey, who were ready to see firsthand why this nighttime pattern is one of our favorites. What keeps us coming back every year is the chance to catch some of the biggest walleyes of the season. These fish are loading up on calories for winter, and when the landings stay ice-free and you can tolerate the nighttime chill, the results can be nothing short of incredible.
