Topwater Smallmouth on Lake Vermilion

Watch this video where Al Lindner and Hays Baldwin smash big smallmouth in overlooked locations on Lake Vermilion. When you’ve spent a lifetime on the water, you learn to appreciate mornings like this—calm air, good light, and a long run ahead of you. Knowing where you can go and how to get there safely is everything, and that’s why my LakeMaster chip is one of the most important tools in my boat. It gives me confidence to make a 20-minute run through rocks, islands, and structure without second-guessing myself. Confidence equals time fishing—and time fishing equals fish. Lake Vermilion has been part of my life for more than 50 years. Every season I spend time up here, and it never stops teaching me something new. Pike, walleyes, smallmouth, largemouth, crappies, bluegills—this lake truly has it all. And not just numbers, but quality. That’s the difference. Any lake can produce fish once in a while. Great lakes do it consistently, across species, year after year.
