Ha ha!
That's a fisherman.
That's right.
Alright, we can make our way over to
the dog.
Beautiful. You're not going to win
if our boats got back at the same
time. I'm like, what did you catch?
He's like snails. I'm, like, wait
for it. And I showed him the
picture. He's, like.
Never know.
Governor, this is Andy.
He came in at the last minute for us
with an extra boat.
Local guide here, back
road guide service.
So we're very indebted.
Thank you.
Oh, we got
a beautiful, a lot better than the
last few.
Did it snow?
There was some sleep,
yeah.
This is gorgeous.
This is not bad at all.
Well, we'll see who does well.
I figured by anyone, you're the one
who knows which two McDonald's in
the state have a working ice cream
machine.
Thank you. Bye.
I'm not sure if that's possible,
there might be something in their
codes.
I actually, at one time,
it wasn't a McDonald's.
You could go online and stuff.
McDonald's, ice cream, socks,
and socks.
And you can find out which one I'm
going to...
Oh, my god.
They had a lot of working ones on
the day, didn't they?
Although I haven't
had much trouble lately.
Social media at work.
They used to have a
swirl.
Yes.
And I think there's only one
place.
Good to know,
does Race Lake use to have
in their McDonald's they had like
a piano?
And a
shape figure, I can't remember.
Do I have a song?
You do.
Yeah, we'll just hear that.
Especially if they're from, if they
are from all over the world.
Yeah.
Yeah, I've seen it before.
No, no, no.
It's like beauty shots.
Yeah.
This is beautiful.
This is nice.
Oh, it's
beautiful.
We need to do a little bit of water
and fish.
That's why I think both of us need
to think consciously about
what's going to be a good experience.
So, I think we're ready.
I got mics that we can use.
It's just like, you feel like you're
stepping back.
Yeah, that's good to know.
We'll be right back.
That's why he's doing a good job.
This is a visual.
Put the night vision on the camera.
Well they have enough light.
Put up and then Brandon had his
light on. Oh cool.
There's a light over there in the
dark.
He's our driver.
He's really nervous about getting
too close. Sure.
Yeah, some people are like, gets you
right, and others are like well, I
don't want to.
That was a little funny
reaction, but sometimes I can
imagine one of them just getting
tired of it.
You can imagine how happy he was.
What are you doing Mark?
That's your seat there.
I say that's your seat right over
here.
So it might be easier to get on with
your words.
Give you a hand again.
Oh, no.
I don't know.
It's about the darkest one.
Hi, Governor.
Great,
did my best to warm it up here at
Paul Smith, Milwaukee Journal
Center.
Thank you so much, sir.
Yeah, I know, they're...
And that's how he's going to get a
great manicure.
Welcome.
You don't have any bananas, do you?
We're sending the bananas out
of the boat with Paul.
Paul has the
bananas.
Thanks for taking it.
Anyone else?
Thank you!
All right, Governor, the cash will
come in for us.
All right, we're going to divide
into three.
Thank you.
So we should get turned around here,
boys, and get out for the governor?
Yup. Yup.
All right.
Try to stay out of your camera, but
when he holds up that
50 inch musky
it might be a little crazy.
We're all looking for a shot.
I don't know if I'm doing something
right here, but...
What?
That's good to know.
You do have, oh
that's RF.
Okay.
I was going to say I got a 70-200.
Yeah, I have one of those too.
Appreciate it though.
I saw the vehicle.
I also have,
I'll tell you what, everybody gets a
t-shirt, put it in their bag, I
saw the weed bowl, I run
the weed boat.
Barb.
See if it fits on there.
I don't think that's RF yet.
Yeah, it looks like it'll fit if it
just...
Or does he need the adapter?
Oh, it could be a crop lens or a
crop camera.
But that should
It should.
Does he need the adapter though or
no?
Just got to get it out there.
And on the lens itself,
there should be a white and a red, I
think.
I don't use crop cameras
very often, but
So they're going to troll.
We've got water for you too.
He's got a hat on now, by the way.
I was like, where is he?
Yep, turns around, go
the other way.
Yep, and then tighten
that. Yep, there we go.
I almost should trade mine for that,
a little bit heavier because I like
that better.
Well, you know what I want to buy
right now.
I can't handle mine it's late so
I'm just like really shaking unless
I'm on a tripod or something.
I'm like, yeah
Um,
That's it.
What I've done, too,
is if you've got
some kind of, you know, that
t-shirt that you just got or
whatever, you can kind of lay it on
there.
Oh, they've got a fish.
It's a big fish in there, it's kind
of a little fish, I think.
It's probably a...
I have dinner for you, which is
really good.
Don't move, guys.
Woo-hoo!
Woo-hooo!
What a way to start.
Can you turn?
Can you turn the boat to your left
a little bit?
Absolutely.
And don't go too much closer.
How's that?
That's good.
Did they even land it?
I don't know what you want to tell
me.
Sorry guys.
Turn the left a little bit.
That's good.
What do you think?
I don't know, too far away.
Should I get closer?
No, you're good.
Maybe at some point down the road,
but yeah, for now I think we're
good.
There he is.
What is that?
How am I doing?
Perfect
It's like a northern to me.
Yay!
How's that working out?
Like it?
We appreciate it.
You can get a little closer if you
can't hold it enough.
I know, yeah.
Is everything on right?
Autofocus, did you?
Yeah.
Check. Got it.
I have to do that all the time.
I just bought a brand new one.
Now, in the paper, what you're
going to do is you're gonna put
your photo credit
and equipment by...
Actually, I had a smoking deal on
that. I actually use that
more for video.
And it's, for example,
we do all the photo and video for
the American Barking Binder.
I like it.
I can have that thing all the way
down by the finish and
down three blocks and
the elite skiers come up over
the top of the bridge and I just
tap on the follow focus
on this and it just follows
them all the down
until they're right into
the lens. It's so cool.
But I think that was...
$2,000
lens.
That's just a very quick one.
So if that one falls in the water,
it's not that big a deal.
Oh, make sure I was stupid for a
minute. Sorry.
OK.
You got it.
Over, under, on the drone.
We didn't ask for the car.
We didn't ask for it.
I feel like shooting a gun.
Yeah, I think it's a little too
heavy.
We did the drone probably
five years ago, something like
that. We were in the press boat,
took the drone off the deck, you
know, and everybody's like, cause we
had to get security clearance,
never allowed right over them.
So I did this beautiful radius.
I brought it back down as the
boat's moving like this,
bring it down, forgot to
hit record.
What did you want to do?
And I'm like, can I do it?
Because the whole then of course,
I was a laughing stock of the press
thing, right?
So didn't PBS come up for
the bookie this year?
Yep.
Yeah, our last year they were there.
This last year.
Two two years ago, I think
They're asking me this year, because
they're like, do you do this and
say, yeah, we're the main
photographers for it.
And they're, like, what's going on?
They're trying to follow our lead.
I was trying to remember where they
were from.
Was said.
Department of Tourism.
All right.
The thought is they want to do a
documentary in the future about the
Berkey.
Oh, got it.
Yeah, I think.
Yeah, I think when I die...
At the end of school.
This is going with me.
We're gonna put that in your casket
and then we're gonna eat you.
Well, I told you what,
if anybody puts me in a casket,
you're putting me face down.
So everybody can walk by and kiss my
ass goodbye.
Um, well, if you die before me,
I thought that's supposed to mean
buddy.
Oh, really?
And...
And how are we working that and...
To tell them I'm going back into
taming and the...
My wife is so nice.
When the governor caught the,
I think it was 23 inch
walleye.
A couple years ago, I mean, we were
kind of prepared,
but man, all of a sudden it was
like, oh my God, he's got a walleye
and a white...
Got the shot.
So our newspaper group,
every year that
the press releases on the fishing
governor's office, it feels like
we're still using the same photo
from like 21 or so years ago.
You guys got the big lenses at some
point we just got to get up there a
little bit how to
how to how are they looking
Okay.
Oh, you got a 70-200 on
that one.
Oh, you did change out?
Yep.
We got an adapter, the
1.6 crop, if you want to
put that on to extend it.
Oh, that's okay.
I'm in 4k.
I appreciate it.
You got an iPhone 16, you're
pretty good looking.
That's why I can't.
Actually, I did some work for PBS
a number of years
ago up on Apostle.
Madeline Island oh for the
like the music thing yeah yeah
yeah you fly the drone for them yeah
that's what I time but they said
they hired a guy yeah yeah oh cool
that was that was me nice
cool
That stuff looked cool.
Super nice group to work with.
I was a little nervous because we
only had like one shot at it.
You did like the ferry stuff, right?
Yeah, yeah
They seemed happy with it.
Yeah, that was like 2018 I
started in 2019
and when drones were still the wild,
wild west, no one at PBS
apparently had a 107.
No
Don't get that shot, he's blowing
his nose.
We'll crop it out.
Before we top it out.
We'll put our logo on the hanky.
Yeah, I
wish I could have filmed it
when I was in there as a balloon.
Thank you.
You're just like home.
Way.
If those were not
cameras like those,
I would have cried.
There would have been nothing.
Security's got to be just crazy
and something like this
because they don't know where
somebody's gonna be, you know
Oh
Now I'm used to being a girl.
Yep.
Looks a little more rustic.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's true.
Can you turn them right?
They're good.
We get a sighting all of them at
this time.
I'm glad you're going to edit
everything, Lenore.
Did I do, did I have any of these
lights turned on?
I have two of those and I have one.
What I'm thinking if we'll
try to get out is I mean we don't
have to stay right till three
o'clock today. I don't think
And then we've got it, and then I
thought maybe we would just, I
either go home and edit, or
we stop at the shop and
call and edit really quick.
Because I don't want to have to worry
about him tomorrow.
I want to go steelhead fishing.
Well, Kittman wants him like right
away.
Well, she could get the food.
I'm looking at the sun going over
here.
And this way, Tony.
Turn this way.
I know yesterday when he was
shooting for the dinner and stuff,
I would watch, well even when he
did, he would just get
in the side, but I don't want the
back of his head.
Sometimes there wasn't much room
to move, so I had
to look for some spots.
This is great if we could kind of
hang out here. Good shot.
Yeah, this is...
Yeah, I can
actually see the point.
So I'm just going to go the other
way.
This will be the perfect time to
catch a fish.
I know.
He was a pretty good guy too, wasn't
he?
Huh?
Does Eva have a pretty good
character to work with?
Yeah. That's good.
Yeah, we do the, uh,
tourism in much of ways, and
we get photo, video, and video
centers for, you know, doctor,
doctor, party, we get music, and
then we do that.
Yeah, that was a crazy couple days.
Prua 3.
You are in the process of losing
a lot, dude.
You guys don't have characters like
when I was in higher ed in
Chura, Jesse and the Bible.
Oh, good.
We used to do golf tournaments or
fundraisers.
I think I'm gonna use my mobile
phone for now.
I like the tripod.
At least we shoot the Northern
Lights.
I think you should just give me that
one and you take mine.
We should have bought another one
when it was on sale.
It's $333 right
now, so it could be a huge...
I don't know if they're going to
turn back or not, but I'm
sure they will.
It looks like they're going home
from here.
It looks they're cutting more.
You can try and get around to have
that sun out.
Okay.
They're on the right side.
That'd be great.
I don't know if you can pick that up
or not.
Yeah, that's cool.
Thank you.
If you ever need, like,
bookie footage or whatever, you can
shoot all the video.
Just let us know.
Be sure the bookie would be more
than happy to share.
Do you know if there's any special
events on Lake Manacoggin that come
up that you shoot?
Not really although
we're gonna be i live right by
it um if there's
something that you're looking for
Part of the project we're working on
is a broader look at
wall inhibition, but we're looking
at the relationship between
UWSP, the Red Cliff Tribe,
and looking at The Coddy
Association.
Got it. And so we've been working
with Mike D'Andrea and Max Recep
from Red Cliff.
Yep.
They're just trying to get a better
insight as to all the
different groups out there.
I do a lot of work.
For, um,
uh, with Mary on the Tiff.
Okay. So she's connected with
all of that as well,
so you may even have some footage of
that, or maybe that you're shadowed
in your boots. It doesn't matter.
I don't know about you guys, but if
we could turn a little bit to the
left.
Yep.
Help me out a little bit.
It's all about me.
Just kidding.
Well, I know even uh,
Kaepernick from Washburn County.
So here's the photo that the
governor's office will be sending
out.
Probably.
The picture that's on the website is
ours.
We're gonna have to get that picture
printed for Bob Gillen so we
have it. So when we see her next.
Which one? The one that we gave Governor
Evers that's in.
Yeah, but I'm trying to negotiate a
day of guiding on Lake Michigan
for kings for that
picture, but then I was
It would be smart to run that
shoreline at about 25 miles an
hour every night and
try to cook some food.
Of course, now the governor's going
to look the other way.
I know, he's like, come over, come
here, look over here.
You know, you kind of just want to
yell out, right?
Yeah.
Governor, look at this!
Perfect.
Yeah, I got her number.
He probably doesn't want to look
into the sun much.
Yeah, one
of those.
Now she's going to be here
in a minute.
Is this a big lake?
Big end, yeah.
Yeah, Barb said they were out in the
rain here pretty much a Friday.
She was, I was froze.
Is that a new bolt that she's got
this year?
So I thought the one last year was
aluminum, not fiberglass.
No, no, no.
I'll probably get some.
Hand or hurts from holding it.
Header he catches a fish I
think I've got enough
Look, that's funny.
So if all goes well,
and it ain't over till it's over,
but if I do play well with you guys
and nobody goes in the water.
Please tell Michelle I did okay.
Not Caitlin.
I mean Katelyn.
Sorry, Michelle was her predecessor.
Yes.
Yes. Yes.
Yes.
I'll say nice things for ten
dollars.
You're gonna under okay, we can
raise the price up not go down
Let's get water.
Did you get that waving picture by
any chance?
I wasn't looking at my face
back in the camera nicely.
Oh, there it is again.
Oh, that lady's taking pictures out
her window.
I got the wave.
I got it of Evers, I want the family
to wave.
Oh, they moved out.
I don't know, he's looking.
Waaah, waaah The cheek is getting
really, really thick
Is that a guy?
No, that's a lady.
Wave!
They don't want to wait.
I know.
It was like...
She's a good dog, she's a cute.
Perfect.
Dog doesn't give a shi-
It's a good day.
Governor or no governor, he's got to
do his business.
Nice shot until the dog did that.
There we go. Nice light right now
too.
Perfect.
Best pizza in town, right down here
on the end of the lake.
Poops on the water.
Don't look real closely in the
bathroom with the conditions or the
kitchen. Oh, they got good pizza.
Most people probably not even in
the restaurant because we were in on
in the kitchen.
He's in the restaurant, Tim, for a
long time.
Yeah, it's a little bit rough,
but it's good pizza.
Yeah, I can do a couple more.
You
You don't know what time in those
days we're going out in the
Lieutenant.
I didn't see them at all.
I saw her on TV for
the draft.
She goes, you saw me?
And I said, yes.
No, because I just caught it on
the corner of the road.
Thank you.
Well, you know, for video,
I actually like the older RF lenses
because I have that adapter.
The EF, not the RF.
EF, sorry,
and because I've got that
ND filter that's on the back of the
lens and I can get that thing pitch
dark, so
nice to use.
I've still got that RF 70
to 200 and I've never used it.
The EF.
The older one. Whatever.
I think you're like,
got RF stuck in your...
Everybody in the boat's going to
Jesus Christ, R-F-E-F, Jim, get
it right.
My mother-in-law wasn't as well, but
I have her run some cookies.
She makes really good cookies.
She looks pretty good.
It's a great trip. It'd be too hard
on her.
You could be the first one
overboard.
Well, you know what?
I'm holding on tight to you if you
try that, so don't be so
sure you're not going in.
Wow
all these business emails
on your end.
You might want to do wide from the
back too, just saying.
I don't know how to use a cell phone
because I'm used to a camera.
PBS is going, you
know, I like these guys when they
first got in the boat.
They're getting kind of obnoxious
It's all good
You could go further back, get the
whole boat in.
I can't get it, go back.
You can't go back.
Oh, wait a minute.
And what I tell you when she gets
way back there just to help her out.
Here we go.
How far on your camera?
0.5 vs.
1
I mean, do I have to go to Portra?
Governor is leaving.
Is that your mother in law's house?
Could it be?
Well, no, she lives in there.
When that long staircase
goes down, it bolts this one to a
side.
And I can show you how to do wide.
Well, now we can make that sequence
where we can move it.
And you were on Raw, right?
I don't know, probably not.
Maybe I had it on raw last,
how do I tell?
Normally stays on what you'll
use last something the upper left
hand corner. I think or right hand
Let's say Rob
Yeah, I know. But I hit that last
night, but I don't know if it stayed
on that, can you tell?
Well, it appears it
looks pretty good.
I'm trying to figure out the light.
And
Cause they
because they set it on the wall last
night when we were in that dinner.
They're logging away again.
You
Yeah.
I will say that I, I
did buy the R, R...
Put her in.
And then we had to go to find
the landing which we did and
then the fellow for the boat got
us and PBS crew and
we are on here so yeah all
is good are you at the heart?
I forgot about you.
She didn't mention you. That's hard.
Yeah, it's normal.
I'm pretty forgettable.
Yeah, thank you.
I was going to touch you and I'm
standing here with a monopod for
them and my cameras are
not working.
We're good.
Yeah, Thank you.
It was in Northern, wasn't it Jim?
How big was it? Do you think or how
long did it look like to you?
Oooooooooh.
Between 20 a
little over 25, maybe
hard to say hard to say
And there's the female
measurement and the male
measurement, right?
I know, and I was trying to figure
out where it came from, and those
guys were out in the bowl for one.
Because it would be nice to get a
couple shots of her,
too, but I don't know where they
are. You know, because a few years
ago...
He is super dear to me, nice
to get a couple shots of her out
there, because I know a few years
ago...
Now if you guys want to,
if you want to go right along,
you know, closer up
and wide, I'm fine to
do that.
We could probably go right to the
middle.
Over to here.
Looks like they're hanging there.
They're not going down.
Get a shot of these guys.
That's Kyle, I believe.
Smile!
Woohoo! Catch any fish?
Oh yeah!
We got a big pike in the live well.
Why don't you give them to the
governor so he can throw it on his
way?
Is that a new boat, Kyle?
That's Kyle from
Spooner area.
They're the ones that I was thinking
about.
No, that's his wife.
I follow them unusually.
Oh
Kyle, hold it up again.
Kyle, show them how to do it.
I'm doing it.
Oh, shit.
It hang on hang on buddy hang
on I'm an amateur here
Perfect, thank you.
For not hitting record.
No.
I live that. You know, when you make
a mistake in video or photography,
you seldom make it the second time.
Right. Because it's on top of your
brain.
Oh, we've done some beginner airs.
It was like, what the heck?
I'm never taking you out on the boat
again, shush.
Shush
First day, first day with
a camera.
Now it's cool over here.
Not the sun again, bruh.
Came around that bend and got
a breeze coming over there.
Yeah, if you can just look at us.
There we go. Here it comes.
There it is.
I guess we just have a crab fish on
the boat.
Just to hold up one.
Well yesterday when we were at that
museum there was those
taxidermist fish sitting in some of
the boats and
I was going to say governor pick one
of those up and then I thought ehhhh
that would probably be a bad taste.
Alright, fish.
They're still sleeping in, it's
Saturday.
Yeah, baby, let me get out of
the way.
We had somebody those rooms
were not quiet.
Oh somebody
was talking half the night
That's the word.
Coffee, then coffee, then...
Jim goes in the middle of the road.
What the hell?
I could hear him snoring.
I must have fallen into deep sleep
because I didn't hear that.
But he's like, oh my gosh.
That's too bad.
Piece of buzz.
Were you on floor one or two?
Alright, looks like you're doing
something about Zach.
I'm working hard and getting paid
big bucks today.
Yep, right.
Bus doesn't know what I'm doing.
No, I think it's the other way
around.
Oh, the boss isn't doing anything?
No.
Look
I gotta find him a job.
But when they first
came out with a C100,
I bought into that right away.
And I swear to God, 60 days later,
they dropped them by $3,500 bucks.
And I'm like...
We bought the, we have a lot of
C300s at PBS, and
then like a month later they dropped
the C500 for like the same price.
Yep. Yep.
This misses out on like two
generations of the same
camera, or a nicer camera.
I gave my rep hell because I'm like
what I said seriously and
he's like well you've gotten your
money's worth out of that camera I
said hell no I only had
I don't think so.
Learning ways of how to get
into the center of the plane and how
to do that. Yeah.
To center punch out the ways.
They gave me a coupon for 20%
off anything on Canon's
website.
Well, I've had the
older version of the 600 that
I got a super deal on used.
And then I was like, right before
the coupon ended, I'm like,
you know, would that work
on the new
600 Prime?
Yeah. So I called up and
they were like, no, that won't work.
And I said, well, it
says everything.
She gets back up you know she goes
and asks her manager she
comes back she goes i guess
we have to honor it yeah so i got 20
off of thirteen thousand dollars
that's awesome for like 89
on her bus it's a great deal that's
a really good deal so spend 500
you save 35 Yeah, that's
a great word for me.
Are you kicking him?
No, I swung my lens right
in front of the shot.
This is your statement.
Let's do this.
I thought we were off to a great
start with this.
I know, to catch it right away.
Well, you know, I got to tell you,
and it's always been every
time I go fishing, if you catch
a fish, like, instantly,
you're scum the rest of the day.
You know, let's have a nice road
trip, so we better clean it up.
But that's always how it seems,
you know, like first cast, oh man,
we're going to nail them all day and
it's like nothing.
So what's the dynamic range on the
C80?
In terms of?
Is it like 15 stops?
16 it's 16.
Yep, that's not bad.
And there's a native ISO at three
different stops So it's like 800
1600 and then it's 32,000
3200 which is crazy
and low-light, right?
But yeah 16 stops of dynamic range
I shot some video with it.
We did a story in Milwaukee
first time using
for the first.
No, we're out here all the time.
No, we're up here all week,
we've been going all over, yeah.
So not specifically up here.
We're working the weekend.
I got it.
Through the panic, wins the open.
Okay, so where you guys off to?
Oh, we're going to Fond du Lac for a
fishing tournament tomorrow, and
then we'll go up to Managua,
in Volta Junction,
just, you know, looking for some
walleyes.
I appreciate for Jim Shoots for
uh, Luzuna and all that kind of
tourist waters.
So, sorry.
Been over there a lot
over the years.
Well, a great part of, a big reason
I love this job is you get to travel
the Northwoods a lot.
Yep. It's just so fun to tell the
stories up here.
Happy.
You're looking fine.
You're lookin' fine today.
I... Well, you are fine.
So what are you trying to tell them?
That they aren't important?
I said, you look important.
They said, we're not.
Maybe you are.
Sometimes
I just can't.
I can't take it anywhere.
I got no close-picture.
I was getting in the boat over
there, wasn't I?
He might be done.
What's up, Barb?
Thank you.
Where was it that one year that we,
well, that was in Shell Lake?
Oh, with that, oh, that fellow.
Yeah, and I don't think it was Barb,
and he took Tor
off.
It was a windy day, into our face.
Guide boat takes off, and we're in
this slow pontoon boat.
We literally just
get there.
Put the camera on, and
it catches a fish.
And I'm just like, oh my god, don't
do that.
Someone did not talk to him what's
that? Someone didn't talk to anybody
Oh, and that was the other thing.
We didn't know which boat we were.
There was Barb, there
was Barb because
she told us where we were going but
the guy didn't, you know, they had
it down and they had their stuff in
and we didn't get there fast enough
because it took us forever to get
there.
They're in.
Oh, no, I didn't even get the,
I didn't get set up.
I just go over on the front seat,
put this up and it was just like.
I think it's empty.
And it's like, I look back and I'm
like, oh my god, he got it.
He got it!
You got it. It was weird.
See you later.
So C80 is the way to go, huh?
I've been impressed with it.
Uh oh, what do we got over here?
Yeah, I got him in there.
Is that a DNR vote or is that
a conservation vote?
Better check the game word for the
governor's fishing license.
Oh, he is. He's doing it right now.
Yes, I got it.
Five miles. Maybe they can hear us.
You've got this shot.
You've this shot, Lenora.
Lenora, you've got it, just I'm too
close.
I'm going to get both of them.
This is good, maybe just a tiny
bit, that's
a good shot.
That's it, it's very good.
Uh,
does he got a pole in his hand?
There we go.
Uh-oh. Do you hear it?
Yep. Oh, Ace Gill!
Woo!
You got it.
You got it Tanora, I will take it.
I got it.
A blue girl.
Yeah, it's a little thing, he still
caught it.
She dipped it in.
She just handed it on the pole.
Oh, that's what was going on?
That was cool.
He caught a-
It's all about you right now,
I love Zach.
And that's
No pressure.
Oh, well, that's kind of like
for the Berkey.
Casey, the video guy, and me are
at the end.
Jim was off on the side of the
finish line. And I'm smack dabbing.
He's like, this is all you.
It's like no pressure.
Get the skier coming in.
Now, with the help
of AI and Photoshop...
I can make that look like a big one.
Big one?
30 inch walleye on there for
a couple hundred bucks.
That was our best soup in Seattle,
Zach.
Did you get them tossing it back in?
Yeah.
I couldn't tell.
You gotta have your phone in the
water there, Governor, if you're
gonna get sick.
Oh, I can see it here, but I can't
tell what it is.
It's so damn little, it's blending
in with the trees.
We good here?
Yep.
Oh, he's got another one.
Get out of the way.
Yeah
Oh, she's got another little one.
It's probably the same one.
It could be.
That guy is so over on the ball.
Am I out of your way?
Yeah, you're good.
We gotta come back up just a little
bit.
If you can just back up.
Or do you want him forward because
he's fishing off that side?
I think what they're going to do is
probably just fish it so it just
cuts back a little more. It's all right,
I got the shot.
Okay.
I'd like a wide shot.
I am with the whole boat and
everything that's what I've been
doing because I figured you were
zooming in more because it's nice to
get the whole group.
If you just get too far ahead, the
angle gets sharp for right.
And here's the other part of the
mission.
Yeah, right.
What's that?
Getting tangled.
Actually, yeah, I mean, you got a
shot of a tree, right?
It's part of his story.
It's about program to cut more trees
into the water and the fish habitat.
Perfect.
I don't know if that was intentional
here, but...
I mean, that's why she turned.
When they fall in,
it just makes us sleep in there,
which is fine. Unless they're in the
analogy, we can let them rest.
Yeah? Mm-hmm.
He's in stabilizer mode
one.
He's up and down, or up and
vertical and horizontal.
Two is just.
Yeah, so because we're on a boat,
that's why I was thinking I wanted
to stay with this.
I got mine on too, I don't even
know.
Back up a little bit.
In Premier Pro, there's an
effect called warp stabilizer, yeah,
you know.
Try not to use it.
Of course, but on a boat,
you never know,
right, you don't want to plan on
using it.
I hope Robert just went down.
Oh yeah?
Like, uh, what the hell?
Oh, there he is.
You just cut your lane, and that's
where you got lots of colds.
That's what it has in there.
Everybody cool where we're at?
You're a great guy. Can you do this
next year too?
We're up in Sawyer County next year.
Yeah, he's doing it awesome.
Yeah, we don't really like it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, we're not doing total.
Yeah, next year post a home.
Just so you know, I'm going really
tight.
Yep, and I'm wide.
I got the full boat, so you can zoom
all the way in, because I'm
trying to get the full of them in
there.
Trying to figure out what's on
Barb's jacket it's
supposed to look like fish
fish fish
That's kind of what I was wondering
too.
Kind of look like that, I didn't
zoom in enough to...
From a distance, right?
Leopard fish.
That's funny.
I can smell that exhaust, you know,
from the engine.
I was doing an engagement thing.
My finger.
What? As hard as my fingers.
Rub my fingers, yeah,
just rub them.
Why?
Yeah, because my finger hurts.
It must be Griffin type.
Guys, just so you know,
I go the extra
mile here, I guess.
Now I've got to give Anne with some
issues.
Now I gotta do hand massages?
Yeah, it's like actually right
there.
You're good.
I met Jim when he first,
before he ever started his business,
I was doing, I was
up at Telemont back then and
in charge of,
I was a manager in the coffee shop
back then, and then I
was going art shows, art
shows then, and Jim was
just getting started and
he wanted to do the show and that's
when I first met him.
He was a gold.
It's been downhill ever since.
It's just been a nightmare.
I left the post office for
staying with him, didn't I?
Yeah, now you just go postal for me.
After 23 years,
that comes in the postal system.
Well, you got some benefits, I'm
sure, from that.
Yeah, I was a contract route,
but I, you know, I had to put away
and try to, try to save,
but as I got
older, my shoulder kept getting
worse.
From the back. From delivering mail.
Yep. So I was just like...
So I feel that all this camera gear
is my backpack's like...
It's heavy.
Well, right now, James, Carrie, and
I just had cataract surgery last
week. I can't lift like over
20 pounds for like a month or
so. So I'm like,
yeah.
And I'm here, I don't even know what
my camera bag weighs, but I
know my two laptops are like 29
tons. I'm even over the limit
on that.
Yeah, I just traded in an Expedition
and that thing was full.
I actually think the gear,
because we've got two DJ gigs coming
up, then we have to head towards the
cities for a wedding at the end of
the month that's DJ
again, we should almost put
it in the trailer like you said so
we're not hauling that stuff back
and forth
and piling it, especially
with mid-out lift and then it's in
or it's easier to
stand up in it.
You bet boss,
I'm on it.
That last one probably missed it
all.
Of course.
What's wrong with that statement?
Ask you to do that
I just want to show you how much we
are using that camera.
Well, hang on, I was...
I believe.
Under pressure.
How was this?
Look at this.
Oh my God, look it.
I am just stellar.
Look at that.
Perfect form.
It's got all three of them.
Got it already.
I've got pictures of him
literally back up a little bit
behind the camera.
Yeah.
Go in a little bit
more toward shore.
Notice how I scratch a
$50,000 boat to get back
a 79 cent bobber?
I see that.
Did you see my call?
We were going to tell you to put a
polling governor Evers hand and let
him cast, and then we saw him do
that, so I just hung up.
Well, it's a challenge
here in the tree.
Yeah, they want to cut them off, you
know, they're probably going to fish
the shore, right?
I know Barb, she'll tell you to get
the hell out of the way.
I think we need a little alarm on
these. A little incentive there,
Ricky.
Yeah, wanna pass them up here?
Kind of coming on the back side.
I don't know
Do you want a bolt like that Jim?
I'll take it.
See the ones that are grasshopper
hoops on the ground.
When they come over shore.
They don't have to have their,
they asked a kid to have one, it was
fished out of their mind by the time
it saw a thing.
How much do those cost?
$165,000, but it
doesn't object.
It would be perfect for me on
the photography side, you know,
on a windy day or whatever when
we're shooting wildlife on a lake.
I actually would like to go to what
they call the spot lock
on the trolling motor to keep
it pretty consistent.
Katelyn said she was going to try to
find out where Ann was, but
obviously she hasn't yet
because she hasn't t texted.
We could put in a walleye
and then just go a little Ken Burns,
right? Slow turn of the picture.
It's impressive on you when you're
fishing with all those people
staring at you. All the cameras and
all the boats watching.
I don't know, I think they should
have jumped in the boat back in.
It's an Atomos, Shinobi,
and, uh...
Good night.
Do you have any moon nests on the
way?
You know, I don't know, there's a
lot of loons. I have them all in
front of my place.
Hey.
Kind of neat, because about this
time here, a little later, a couple
weeks, the little babies are on
the back.
That's the name of White Island,
right? That's what they call it.
All these days they've been called
out.
There's a couple on the way.
They don't use gymnastics.
They use it for one reason.
Always coming up with questions.
They go to people, they ask them to
get out of the way,
No, just in front.
I'm super wise.
I see L&M is selling themselves.
Can you have the governor turn
around?
He's got a pole.
Barb?
Barb, where are you guys going now?
There's a crib out here, we're just
going to try to find out.
Can you have the governor turn our
way just for a second?
There we go.
Sure.
Well, we're still in
the lead, but the Lieutenant
Governor doesn't have one bigger
than our pike,
so we've got plus an hour
multi-species.
We're going for the trifecta
of the crappie to get a trifectas
of species and then we'll go back to
upgrade our bigger fish.
That's the plan.
We have a plan.
And it's gonna work.
Does that work out for you?
Yeah, appreciate it, yeah.
I don't know how wide you were.
So where do you guys live?
Where's home?
I live in Middleton.
I was originally from Milwaukee,
Whitefish Bay.
Then I moved from Whitefish Bay as
a kid to the U.P.
Of Michigan.
Yeah, what a transformation.
That was
quite a culture
shock.
Learn to do a lot of outdoor
activities because that's all you
could do.
Too young to drink.
I don't think so.
Drinking age is like 14.
Well, you know, I hate to admit it,
but drinking age in my day was
18.
Yeah.
And I thought it was pretty cool
when I got my driver's license and I
could drive myself to the bar.
So I'm just going to leave it there.
They never carted.
I know.
They won't do that.
This is much better.
There was
the bar until it was after 8,
you know, over your feet.
I don't know if you believe it, but,
yeah, now they...
I got cardio when I was 30 and
I'm like, what?
There was a bar in Guile,
Wisconsin.
Called Gota's Bar.
Every Saturday night they had live
music.
It was packed, and I'll bet you the
median age.
To jump all the way down.
Can I come down?
Yeah.
And walk here?
Here we go.
And I go, really?
And Derek was like 10 years old at
the time or whatever.
And I was like, here he goes, sorry.
Well, in Wisconsin,
you can bring any child into
a bar and serve them.
I know, but he was thinking
it wasn't over age to go in there,
and I'm like...
As long as you're with your parents
most of the time.
It's Friday, Friday 6th, right?
And you've got to drink a lot of
beer. I feel like I might be losing
my voice.
Hey, we were out there a year ago
for a wedding.
Wasn't much
What are we head for?
There's somebody.
There.
Well, she wanted what she wanted
and I was just worried about the
situation. I'll be seeing her in the
morning.
After six months.
You seem nice.
What's that?
Is he nice?
Yeah
She was the bride that we did her
friend's wedding.
Three or four months or something
like that. She did it for like two
years. We were engaged the whole
time.
We never realized.
Three, four months?
I said it was something like three
or four months.
Well, Bob Bro's daughter.
They were all in there.
Let's see.
Drinking issue and
she came
over to try and find out what was
going on and
he was naked and dead with another
woman and both of them were passed
out from alcohol.
She said, that's it.
That's it?
Yeah.
Speaking of drinking problems, did
you bring any whiskey with us?
I didn't even know you were going to
do this.
I met her.
I don't know, that drink that we had
after. That's beautiful, yeah,
that's beautiful.
Yep, entourage.
Oh my god, it's so sticky.
Like, yes, you did.
I don't know what was yesterday,
but we should understand.
I'm super wide
He's
got something.
All on his own!
It was worth it!
Nice one.
Definitely a chicken.
Chicken, chicken.
I thought you were saying that.
No, that's my co-worker.
He was saying that. Oh, I thought it
was...
I thought he said, well I got you
there for the perfect shot.
No, no.
This guy's been nice.
I didn't know what a good job that
was.
That's a good shot there.
Yeah, it's just part of the game.
I was going to say, I think...
I think it's crazy, huh?
We should unionize.
I always say you want to shoot with
yourself.
Did you see the story I produced on
the Bigfoot Convention?
I did it in Wisconsin.
Yeah.
Not yet, no.
Yeah, there was one in Marinette
last year.
Yeah, it was wild.
I bet. And they went.
And they went out in the woods
looking for bigfooted
slavs.
And they found one, I suppose they
did. No, but they said that it was
kind of like a haunted forest.
So it's definitely going to be a bit
of a hit.
Yeah, it's like back in 2013, this
is where Lisa had a hair in common,
and in 2018, this is where Jim saw
it.
You see that stuff on
TV, and it's like,
what was that?
Did you hear that?
Yeah, and then it's, like, oh, come
on.
It's like it's so close.
This is a great shot, I feel that
sun is nice,
now he just needs to catch another
fish.
Yeah. It'll be alright.
You're done, you can fix it later.
I'm shooting in a 720 actually,
just to save some card space.
Yeah. You're shooting from a good
distance. Yeah.
Are you kidding? Of course, yeah.
I shall.
I told my sister to tell the guys
you're shooting something else and
it was what the...
I shot this in,
what is it, 8K, that this
can do?
Yeah, 8k.
And I had, like,
120-85.
256 as well.
I think it was just a bright room
coming across the field.
I think there was like a
20-second shot.
It's a good one.
It's like 30 gig or something like
that. I'm like, no, we're not going
to...
This is the part of the job where
people look at me like, what the
hell does that guy do?
Yeah
You don't bolt up there, do you?
Yeah.
So you had to write
in to Musk to let him
know what you do?
Fortunately, we're not a federal
agency. Right.
No one's asking.
The elevator speech with the CEO.
So what do you do for me again?
I'm going to, um, well.
Someplace else.
I didn't hear you.
Yes, you're right.
Yes.
In a second.
Thank you very much.
Before I took this up full-time,
I was an IT manager from a private
service company down in Twin Cities,
and they hired me.
He was actually the contractor
for three months,
and the CEO of the company.
I respected him a lot.
He was awesome.
My neighbor, he's a retired
DNR hero.
He had prostrate.
He actually had a restaurant
in his office.
So when my son was four
years old, but when
he was little, they
brought him in there to take care of
his business.
Up next to me.
Okay,
he looks over at me and I'm like, oh
my god, he's looking at me.
And he goes, so
I hear this is where all the dicks
hang out. Yeah, he's brought a
whole lot of stuff.
It was like, oh, look at her.
The funny little one with the
bear, the cockle, and the monkey.
Look at mine, it's so small.
It's almost as big as yours.
It's just so tiny.
There's a lot of bears, right?
Yeah.
Speaking of Bear Jim, did you see
there was a the bear in Hayward
again between second and third
street he was running around?
Oh really?
Yeah. So he was in town again.
Yeah, this is no kidding.
You'd love this from a video staff
when I'm unloading my stuff out of
my truck.
And all of a sudden I hear these
people.
That one on all this motion.
And I'm like, what the hell is going
on?
Well, you're a bear.
Literally, you walk down the other
side of the street.
Older women are just walking right
towards the bed, completely
clueless to what's going on.
My neighbor would be out.
...Walk down the sidewalk,
almost, walk right in to the
walkway.
Went up to the corner,
looked both ways, walked across the
crosswalk.
Got to the other side, looked the
both ways and walked across that
crosswalk, using the cross walk.
At least he used the cross-walk.
So I said, like,
really?
It's good for southern
exposure to sun in
a high spot.
It's true.
Yeah, if you, that's where, if they
want that sun to come in, warm up
the den, they'd love to be up in the
high spot and peek out the sea.
Yeah. That's where the mining den
is.
I have to go and watch, I watch his
camera and see what he's coming
through that's like
work if you have a lot of bunnies
around.
They usually find the bunnies.
Find the bunnies.
I don't want to get in the way here.
Turn around.
Lens on, take the weight
off, now we're in the muscles.
What's that?
What's it? What kind of flies?
This is what I made,
this ER5.
Yeah but so you can never get
rid of that.
Well yeah but
the whole thing is not cheap.
You don't have many miles on
that camera either.
Yeah, that's too bad, because like
these, we go through
cameras quick, you know, with all
the windows and stuff, and they
change them out to buy housing like
that. Yeah. We go through the
cameras too fast.
All right.
So how long is this segment gonna
be?
We don't know yet.
It's up in the air.
I watch PBS a lot.
Thanks.
That's what they get for that.
It was just a lady that had an
old picture.
Was it from, I don't know who
was from, somebody in the family.
That thing was like $30,000.
I'm like, holy smokes!
Yeah, I like watching that.
Apparently, if you go there and
bring something to be appraised,
they'll put a minimum value on
everything for a hundred bucks.
Oh, really? But you bring in an old
shoe box.
And they'll say a hundred bucks.
Got it.
For seven hours.
I know.
I know, I always wondered how long
those... Nope, not yet.
They're still there.
I don't know which one it is.
Not yours, I know.
It all started with you.
All right, we have to troll again.
Lieutenant Governor has a 21 and
a half inch.
That's what it was 21 and a half
inch
So there's a smaller.
What falls is always there.
Yeah, I think that was the first one
they got.
That was the first one they had,
yeah.
So she said it was 21 and a half.
She said the lieutenant governor.
Oh, they just got a 21.
So they have to up it, I'm guessing.
So that means there's a smaller.
And what I also like is called
snapping turtles.
Oh, really?
It's one species to
eat them, because I don't think I'll
fish cut them into that three and a
half miles an hour.
But I can pick up a lot of snapping
turtles and sugar shallows.
All kinds of turtles, snapping.
And it doesn't hurt them, I don't
cut them.
It catches them in the middle of the
chain and breaks them up, I just
dump them back in.
Oh, there's some big ones in there.
They gave me two pair and I'm
like...
Oh my god.
All I want is the governor looking
at the camera, smiling with a fish
in his eyes.
Everything else doesn't.
Well, they used some of the other
pictures for trolling,
like some of the ones that I had,
you know, so I did all they can
use what they want.
I told Caitlin to get me a hard
drive. She goes, now the other day
when she was in folio, it worked
really good, but the one day it did
it. I said, did those pictures work
out that I sent to you?
She said, yeah, they were perfect.
I'm trying to think of what she even
asked me to pull.
Oh, we're going to have bumps,
aren't we?
All right, that's good.
Can I slow down?
Yep.
Ooh, that's a nice one, though.
It's not bad.
I appreciate the yell that
they give us. It was nice.
Yeah.
Well, come on, guys, get the hook
up.
Turn yourself around so we can
see you.
I thought they were kind of
northern, holding up a little bass,
looks like it.
No, we want the big one.
Three species!
Woohoo!
Mama, goodbye.
That's it, that's
it. That's right.
That's not anymore.
There was a moon, or is that
a goose?
This is a goose.
Yep, got it.
Hey, ignore ya.
Nice.
And I keep my job.
I'll keep your eye on it.
All right.
30% probably don't, I would
say.
COVID kind of changed that landscape
too, right?
And the vicinity of this lake too,
Rice Lake too, right, you're right
in town basically.
What's the biggest employer in
Rice Lake?
Well, they have a lot of
man-reflection.
Johnson's autobody, and they have
quite a wide range of systems.
What would you say?
Well, we could say they're like a
bicycle.
Yeah, pretty great.
The Henry Rice was really big.
And the city's doing the right
thing, I think, you know,
like the lumber place that went out
of base is starting to break,
Johnson bodies moving out to the
industrial park, they want
to give it more developed for people
on the lake, you know, with condos
or restaurants or
businesses, instead of
manufacturing.
Thank you, Mike.
Yep, they're they're all standing.
Can you get around that way so
we can get the boat?
And the
And the kids, right?
Would you prefer
that?
Here we go, he has ALS.
How are we doing?
Pretty good.
I promise.
Their sign says, real and a cure
for ALS.
Grandpa's in there with ALS.
I know we're doing a father
daughter's day once next week that
Hayward is doing and
the kids are like quite sick
and I was
like, okay they're
going to send me some music because
I'm like, I don't know what little
kids are listening to,
I had no idea, I know, my
granddaughter is going to be 15 and
my grandson is 20 so I was,
I'm out of that stage.
I was trying to do a post.
I'm listening to times of trade on
the radio here.
Oh, I think we need to
wait for this to happen.
Boy, that is a couple of things.
You can do anything from
a rifle to a crowbar to
a hatchling.
But we get weird, and it's funny.
This is kind of good.
Let's see what happens.
You did the one
I did that.
The bar stool race that's up in
Drummond.
Well, that was my first one.
I'd be better now.
And you did quirky.
It was quirky and I liked it
because it's a quirky event.
I'd be better now.
Jim doesn't like to talk in front of
people so if I'm doing the DJ
and stuff, it kind of opens you up
for doing it.
And I'm like, yeah, I
can do that now.
I suck in front of them.
Yeah, he doesn't like to talk in
front of, you know, I do all the
nonsing, the brides are good.
You have to come, the red mic,
all that.
Come in.
And I'm like, don't make me look
bad. Get out there on that dance
floor.
I wonder if this is Lieutenant.
This here.
Because they're waving at each
other, and it looks
like she's got a...
So we were doing a snowmobile
segment for Slater
County.
We're on my
sled, and this
was four years ago, so
I had the
old Ronin,
right?
Heavier now.
I'm on my sleigh backwards.
She's driving.
And no, it's a
six-seater, right, short track.
I said, you know, just,
you got two sleds behind you.
And I just kinda went, kinda went.
No, she takes off.
And I've got nothing to hang onto.
I've gotta give over, right?
She takes off, I
go like this.
Ooh, that hurt.
And I didn't fall off,
but my legs are
behind me. I've got a camera like
this, there's two snowmobiles.
And they're thinking
that I'm getting a low angle, so
they're not slowing down.
So if I would have fallen off, I
would've got hit by the sled.
And I'm trying to
get myself back up, and
I'm yelling, she's
just up there having a ball.
I couldn't hear a thing!
I've got a bad back and I'm
trying to get myself back up,
going down
the trail and somehow
somewhere I got some
kind of muscle that kicked into gear
and I was...
We stopped and he's like, you're
almost knocked the opposite side.
And you had no idea.
I had no idea.
I could feel them back there so I'm
like, if I wouldn't have felt them
back...
That it was about.
Yeah, wait till we go back over
there now, otherwise it's going to
be a spot of car break out.
I don't know if I'm holding it or
not.
Not like this, too.
Yeah, it looks like they're putting
out the governor as we go in there.
They just went and got a walleye
out of a live well from another
lake.
Yeah.
Is she backing out now?
She's backing out now.
That was okay.
Did somebody run?
We'll just,
sorry, okay, I just
moved.
Alright, I'll be going now.
It's all in one little unit, you
know? You know
No, I sold it.
That's good to see.
Yeah?
In a bay.
Yeah, I think I only...
I think they sold it for $100 and
I just didn't...
I think I had seven licks already.
Because you've probably pulled up
the fish.
Did they throw the northern back?
Oh, they did.
I don't know.
I don´t recall now.
I know for sure everything
else, so they might have kept that
in order.
So obviously, if you get a shot of
it...
This is a great shot and also
if he does show the
world the fish.
Here's the lens tonight.
That's good buddy, that's awesome.
Hehehe
What?
Out of my way.
You gotta pull up on that
door.
OK.
Yeah, we got, I got it covered.
Thank you.
Fantastic.
Oh, don't forget my coffee cup,
Jim.
Don't we want to catch a dog?
Everybody good?
Pardon me? Any luck?
Yeah, it went all right.
I it's, first of all, it's a
beautiful day compared to last year.
This is like heaven.
So we had a good time out
there. We had some luck.
But not not a lot.
We were able to pull in
one one northern
is about 19 and a half inches
and a lot of crappie
or bluegill and
a bass. We had three species,
so that I think we may have won that
contest.
But it's great. It's always great to
have this event, and the
weather was super.
So we had a great time.
The Lieutenant Governor did better
than I did, so I have to
put up with that for another year or
so. But that's all right.
We make a bet every year, and
I lost two years in a row.
I want you to return to repeating
arms yesterday, is that right?
Pardon me, I'm sorry. You toured Henry
Arms yesterday, is that-
No, I did not.
We went to the Pioneer
Village.
Oh, sure. Yeah, that was great.
Unbelievable. We're going to come
back.
Kathy and I are kind of,
we're people that like to go to
museums. We are kind of geeky
about that. So we're going get back.
It was really amazing.
You think about that, it's all
done by volunteers.
That is just extraordinary.
So yeah, we had a good time.
We're coming back.
What's the importance of the history
of the governor's participating
in this?
Whether lifelong fishermen
or anglers are just going out
to promote it.
Promoted. Well, it's good promotion.
I mean, I have fished
every year as governor,
but growing up also.
So it's, it s good.
It's not that I wish I had more time
to do it.
But it's it's the fishing opener
is big. It s big.
People love to fish in Wisconsin,
and it's a great tourism draw,
obviously.
And having the governor, no
matter who it is, me or anybody
else, participating.
And enjoying it.
So to me it's a beautiful
day out on the water.
So there's been a lot of attention
over the last decade plus looked at
walleye and trying to put more
walleye back in lakes and Yeah, like
this is one of those lakes where
some of the people say well the
walleye fishing isn't as good as it
used to be Yeah, how how does
I mean we're not talking strictly
politics here How does that like the
state focusing on trying to make
sure that the fish that people want
to catch are in the lakes?
Yeah and DNR
does a great job at that.
I was visiting a
place outside
of Bayfield this year that
raised walleye.
They do it by the millions.
I'm concerned about though, I have
the same concern as the people that
live around the lake,
walleye like colder
water and the water gets warmer.
So we'll continue to do that but we
have to... I have to also
make sure that we have other
species in the lakes to
take the place of the walleye.
But we'll keep on.
I mean, I like to eat walleye as
much as anybody else, but
at the end of the day we want to
make sure we have multiple
species in a lake too.
But that is a bipartisan thing, like
you're not going to find a partisan
divide over one and more fish,
right?
God, I would hope not.
It's pretty, it's pretty simple
stuff. So yes, I don't think there's
any politics around that.
I know you mentioned no politics,
but it is our job to ask about
the threats yesterday.
Are you worried at all that they
could follow these threats?
Well, of course I'm worried if
the guy that's in charge
of it is saying that's a
possibility,
but the good thing is I
did nothing wrong, and if they
decide to do something that would be
pretty stupid on their part.
Thanks. Thank you.
When she told me that she was
bringing the baby, I'm like, ugh.
You don't see this, huh?
You know, seeing this time, I left
my hat on the floor.
Oh, there they are.
Are you still there?
Yeah, don't come in here and get
more into things.
Yeah, I've got to get my hands.
Well, you can't forget that.
We got it.
You you people.
You're people for that.
You know, they know like, hey, we're
getting over here now.
You should get it people too.
That sounds funny.
The numbers were good,
the sizes weren't very
good, but so the
lieutenant governor beat me again,
so I have to put up with this for
another year, but I'm
with you.
Uh... Bass in a northern a norther
I'll be out in more than an hour.
Yeah, yeah, it
was about that, it's about that.
Good to see you.
Tim.
Yeah.
Yeah. Sure.
I'm sorry we didn't ask.
That's all right.
Yeah we had to think about it.
All right, here we go.
Ready? One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Thank you so much.
Hear me? I get it.
For sure.
And Candice, we've been forecasting
on you this week.
That's in charge of this.
It was very lively.
It was really fun.
Yeah, a good couple.
You had a good time.
Thank you today.
Did you want a photo on there?
Did you press the button?
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
I don't know what to do.
Do you want to take a picture?
Okay, I'll take it right here.
It only takes one.
That's okay.
Thank you so much.
Because it goes to like Walmart and
it comes out like an old greeny
retro look.
One time use camera.
Wow, that's nice.
It's pretty cool.
Well thank you, what's your name?
Hi Shirley, nice to meet you.
Really nice to read you.
Wait, did you bring your phone
today?
No, you're supposed to say it today.
Yeah, she was impressed.
Did I bring my phone?
So, it's been good.
How did you do today?
Did you win an ice cream cone?
Yeah.
Hold on, hold on.
A little touchy, yeah.
Oh,
shoot!
You got it!
You got!
You've got it, you've
got!
We're done, we're done!
Thanks for watching!
But one of these days I'm going to
get serious and I'm gonna catch a
muskie.
They're all tears, oh yeah,
I'm all tears.
It's my favorite set of works so
far.
Now we're going to go pull the nuts
Is this where you bought these
brushes or what?
Yes, it is down there.
Yeah.
Cool, thanks.
Appreciate it.
You could probably grab this
guy.
This guy's getting a little crazier.
This one's getting little wild.
Okay.
Oh, oh, yeah.
Can you, can you hold that one up
for me?
Cooperative here for a second.
Ready?
Yeah.
There she is, don't win!
Did it poke ya?
Yeah, you gotta be careful. Yeah, it
all poked you.
You gotta be carefully now.
Right there. Right there now.
You're okay.
Until you make it stronger.
Gotta hold them by the mouth.
Hold that one by the mouth of the
camera.
Oh yeah, specimen.
I'll do the big one I think.
So you guys actually caught the
muskie in the grass?
Yeah, we have two other nets.
One's like right across.
You can see that white buoy.
Yeah, they're probably close to the
end.
Especially with this warm weather.
And all the ice fish are catching
a lot of them over on the
RM.
Catch a lot.
Look at those.
23, 25ers.
Every year ice fish.
Every year.
That's good to see.
At first we didn't know what they
were you know we're like oh this is
a good looking fight and
then all of a sudden my buddy's
bringing it back and he's uh yeah i
was like uh you need to put that
back what how
do you know i'm like a red pan i
mean he's like uh that's
a What are you doing?
What are YOU doing?
Yeah, it's good to see you.
Thank you.
I'm out.
Where do you want to stick her?
You're a little guy wanting to step
too?
You want a bag too, kiddo?
Did you see no Easter?
Alright kiddos, let's go eat some
food with mama.
Can I take two dinghies?
Sure. Should I say thank you? Oh yeah,
you can take that one.
Great.
Thank you.
Do you need content?
Content, yep.
Fantastic. I'm a former mayor of
Rice Lake.
Do you want content?
What do you want?
I'll just get V-roll now.
Who are you with?
Oh yeah, I've
met so many people in the last
48 hours.
It's all good.
Yeah.
I want to do the apple.
I'm not one of those people to get a
real moment while I move.
I get it.
Daddy.
Is it all yours?
Thank you so much.
Is everyone started?
Two of them are non-native
to Wisconsin
and kind
of providing education to
just different people,
characteristics of what to look for
in the non-Native species and
just highlighting the diversity of
plants in the lake.
Hybrid Eurasian Water Melfoil,
here it has a
very, very thick stem
to it. The leaves collapse
down on the stem when taken out of
water.
And then the number
of leaflets that the plant
has.
Thanks for watching!
There we go.
Good!
Are we all fishing today?
Um, yeah, okay.
All the, well not all
of them, but a few different
examples of plants that grow in
Maryside, highlighting
the species diversity, but
then also the differences
between native species and
non-native undesirable
species.
This is
dwarf yellow condo lily,
and so it's a lily pad essentially,
and yeah as as we're to age and
over time that would...
Sit on the water surface but
just kind of looking at the
root structure and the rhizome
and how you know
a small wheat plant like
that you wouldn't necessarily think
it is a big root system
like that so yeah.
What's going on here?
I just got a couple examples
of plants that grow in Rice Lake
you know from
from our native species to
our non-native undesirable
species
Yep.
So, our basic species here
at the right side is the
hybrid race of the houttuynia.
For the early week of the week,
this plant is
hybrid. It's cross between
the native and the other
houtuynia species.
The next species, species
IE of little tougher, is
in pink.
Oh, she's mean.
There you go,
very good, that was excellent.
When you get close to the fish, slow
it down.
Good toss, Decker.
Nice and slow, try and get that
fish.
Oh, you're a little off now.
Slow, Jimmy, slow.
There you go.
What you got, buddy?
Go up to the desk and show it to
him, buddy.
Uh-oh. You dropped it, but you had
it a little bit.
We've got him down now, Russell.
There we go, good job,
all right.
You're trying to catch a tree.
Oh yes.
You're kind of lined up, Declan.
All right, catch a fish.
It's slow, definitely.
Oh, it's so cold.
You're in the
water, Mom.
I'm in the Water, uh-oh.
Get it for that other guy.
Yeah, sure.
Good cast.
Good cast, good cast.
Alright, alright.
There you go, Declan.
There you are, Decklin.
Oh!
Declin, watch out, I can get that
one.
No, I need...
He's been trying to get that.
I'm trying to...
Actually, I want to try to get this
one.
You really did a good one,
Frank. Nice cast, Decclin.
You're okay, Deculin.
Nice and slow, Dex.
A little bit, a little bit.
You keep going over the top of it.
I got the full one.
The one I got before.
Back into the water, please.
Thank you.
What you got buddy?
What you go? What? You got?
What'd you get?
Whoa
The biggest fish we have here is
Wisconsin.
Whiskers, flathead.
Great job!
Okay, so we have stickers.
We have tattoos.
Tattoos? Okay.
Alright.
Thank you.
And then don't reel it all the way
in. When there's
no weight on it.
Oh, I just landed.
Let's go do something else.
Are you going?
I'm going to tie this back on.
Okay, let's go and do something.
Mommy, I'm free on my own weight.
I need to pass them.
That is my first time getting
up on the panel.
I might be able to get the far one.
Let's throw it a wider room.
I'm going to go take a film to the
table and try to beat that one.
Hey Benny, do you want to go work on
this to go do the obstacle course
over here?
Nooooooooooooooo! Okay, let's go
boys.
Mom, just one more cast.
Okay, one more.
Cause that thing's not down.
I actually heard there was something
named Declan here.
Declan, where are you?
Mommy!
Oh, I got a fish!
Oh! We got another one.
Woohoo!
The same one as
last time!
Oh, which is?
Which is?
What's it called again?
I gave it to Ernie.
You got a brook
trout.
Ernie!
Alright!
