That bull can't catch fish.
That's right.
Eudania, so you're good to go.
All right, you can go. Go to Beadaholique.com for all of your beading
supply needs!
Have fun, that's what it's all
about.
I was putting it on the side of the
boat.
Or on the motor.
37.
Vote 37.
Vote number 37.
Last one, but first one.
Last one for the first flight.
Good morning, gentlemen.
Good morning, good morning.
Is that good?
Don't hurt your critical
tools.
Thank you.
You're 48, right?
Vote 48.
Alright.
Good luck.
Vote 48, vote number 48.
Thank you, have a good day.
Good job.
Morning.
How are we doing today?
Good. Good,
good, good.
You're a dick.
You get your juice and soda,
you got this one or you got anything
in here? No, that's perfect.
Okay.
All right.
You got it.
Good luck. Thank you.
Good luck to you.
We got three boats left.
43, 55, or 59?
Yes. 43, 65,
or 69?
And then we'll
start going to check in
That's 631
Yeah, so we've got a couple minutes
and then we'll head down that way.
We got like three, four bucks
checking in, so I think that might
be enough. Yeah, and we'll have this
next group if we can grab a few
more. Yeah, for sure.
So it's 6.07.
I did hear from Steve, he said he
overslept. Give him 15, no problem.
We have enough to shoot for the next
half hour. Yeah, no for sure, we
should be fine.
So 607, please shoot 5 minutes
here, walk down,
we can work them all just queued up,
and then we'll be able to burn
ass out of here.
Absolutely.
Yeah, of course,
yeah. Yeah, well, there's another
good and nice thing that you guys
are doing.
Don't, don't, not going to break it.
Thank you.
Yeah, haha.
Oh, that's fine.
We'll do it in a second.
Yeah, like the first flight.
Yep.
Perfect.
Thank you.
Look at the water, man.
It looks like a tank.
These are really nice busses.
You want to drive, you get off.
And I realize I can do that,
so I'm going to try to do that.
That's what I want.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah. That's it, yeah.
Good shot.
Morning, guys. Morning.
Morning. On assignment.
Good to see some good walleye
action. There you go, man.
To get the second wave.
It would not be good for you.
Okay.
Right, right, right.
Sure, just let me know when to go.
Good morning, guys.
Good luck.
But listen,
hopefully I'm still buried when we
come back.
Yeah, you're just a very, very big
escape.
Yeah, I am.
You broke up.
More than what?
I didn't like the build but we were
trying to make it pretty nice.
That's the word, it's where we found
them.
There is, there is, uh, some traffic
on the road.
Yeah, a lot of traffic.
And then, uh...
I don't know if they'll walk, I
couldn't get them in the middle of
the road?
And then... And then they were
letting go.
See you later. See you.
Save me the...
I don't know if you can hear me,
but I can hear you.
Yeah.
We lost you.
You're brilliant.
Ha, ha, ha.
Because they don't want to play.
Forgive me Lord,
forgive me Lord.
I got it.
Yeah, I don't want to do
it right now, but it's
only a decision,
I guess.
So I'm uh, I'm not sure about it.
I don't know if you can hear me, but
I think I can hear you, I think we can hear each other,
I think
you can see me, I
can see you,
we can see each other.
You say he was a cop, but he wasn't
a cop.
I'm here.
Hang on to your ears, baby.
Where's the,
where's the light?
Back up there.
Uh oh
uh oh uh
oh what the
hell
See you all after that.
I don't know anymore.
That's right.
You gotta anticipate it,
for sure.
The better ones had a spider that
goes, hey, there's a bird over
there. Yeah.
Ha, ha, ha.
We were up in Rice Lake yesterday,
and the governor was fishing with
them.
So we spent most of the day on a
phone call to watch them go eat
their special food.
What's up there buddy?
Like, you gotta bike it a little
faster.
And their beds are?
Well, the bluegills were under a
tree.
Yeah.
Otherwise they were just crawling.
The big parts of it, the vats
under the crib.
It was pretty quiet over all but
a beautiful day.
You guys out?
Yeah.
We wanted to make sure we came out
today, we were successful, so now
we're going to go a little bit
closer and closer.
Find some fish, yeah.
Oh, I can't lie to you guys.
Don't get too comfortable!
Have a good time!
No, we got it all day.
This is our gig.
Hopefully you'll never hear us say
it, okay?
What video?
That's a headed shit.
Yeah, well that's his job.
I'll be the one going through all
that shit.
I always thought we were doing this
at odds.
I thought we'd increase our ads.
How are we going to beat Junior
if he's got 12 forks?
Can't keep up with 6, much less 12.
You guys want to go right down
there, right? Yeah.
The average road risk per minute,
70 grand?
Plus. Plus?
Plus.
Yeah, I guess someone went 400.
You can use it really good if you're
in a real fog.
Because if they can force you to sit
down and hold it, then
obviously you can't get off the
bike.
If you're thinking that on camera,
before then I'm back.
I didn't get it.
OK.
Oh
I'm watching you be heard.
We can make it up.
I don't know if that's what I said.
We were having, we were having a
hard time.
I asked you a question.
Yeah.
Yeah. Okay. We're gonna leave it at
that.
Andrew, come on.
Yeah.
Watch Mark.
That's it.
Find out what they got we're going
to wait to the end to get them
How far up is it?
I was hoping it would go all the way
up into the river.
Look what I got there, a porch.
Nice.
You can drop that in there to
wash the floor off.
Yeah. Instead of buying a $450
thing.
Kenny Rogers, Naked Eyes,
and Marino Ricci.
We're coming to you from Hollywood.
Falling three notches to number 39,
here's OXO, and really good.
Take that, go.
Let's get some shots of that too,
bro. Oh, there you
go.
I got my M2.
Huh? You got your M2?
Yeah.
Gonna have some traffic.
I'm going to go up in the front just
so I'm not completely...
Did you get a fight by the way?
I'm not going to do that, I'm going
to not do that.
Badass hook.
I can't see my darn boards in the
sun.
We have a third of a cat.
Charge.
Six.
Eight.
Nine.
Four. Five.
Six.
Eight.
Ten. Ten. Ten.
Ten. There.
Thank you for taking your time.
Thank you. That was great.
So, I'm just looking for a time to
find out where you can go with the
traffic.
You can kind of just go everywhere.
Here's what's going to happen here.
All these jiggers are going to go
right where we just talked about.
So you want to talk about it?
I didn't get theirs, but I didn't
get theirs.
Be a hero.
In about three minutes you can watch
it.
But in three minutes you can
watch them catch them.
Same protocol.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what you like.
What we could do, I'm going to have
the GoPro on so you can see how I
got this.
I'm just going to put it on the device so you don't
have to worry about any of this
matter.
I'm definitely going to clean my
mouth.
Now you can follow the video.
Do you want to bring one in?
Jetfish, and uh, jetfish
sideways.
You got it
on strap, just
pull it towards you, towards you and
there you go.
This is a good sight, Lainey.
Do you want this?
Those are the catfish,
I think it's a catfish.
Ellis Oro with Garley
Carter, their first chart single
together in the-
I couldn't say no, there
are 10 pretty shacks with songs in
this week's survey.
Here's the number one
in the USA, the number 1 around the
world in West Germany, Australia,
Sweden, Canada...
Now you're pushing it.
Well, we can, but I don't know if
you're going to like the footage.
I don't know what the weather is going
to be like, but it's
going to rain every month.
We'll be right back.
Very fast, very fast.
Can I grab the question board?
We're used to spending hours to get
one thing.
This one's you guys!
Thank you.
Top 40 the song they took as
high as number seven this week.
It's a number 31 in our countdown
In their eight-year chart history
the Doofy brothers had 15 top
40 hits
All right.
It's got no problem.
I don't know if that's a fish.
Is that off?
It's difficult to fish if you're not
somebody else's wife.
Thank you very much.
That's what I should have done with
my head yesterday.
Collapsed the rods when I tried to
sit down.
You should have collected the rods
while we were reeling
it in.
Then I could have actually reached
the freaking planer boards.
All good.
Accurate full service vehicle center
in Appleton.
Yeah.
I'll tell you when to stop it.
It didn't stop yet, did it?
Oh yeah, you're good.
Yup.
That's a walleye goatee.
Yeah, I chipped it.
Can you move that tripod?
You can part it all the way up top
if you want.
I don't know what's up, but yeah,
you got time yet.
What's that?
Chicken's home.
Yeah?
Pink lemonade.
The shiny one.
Oh, I don't know.
Yeah, like the Fleet
Farm one. That's oh, yeah,
yeah.
That's kind of the walleye.
Bye!
Funny
See?
Ready?
Coming up.
Cats out of the box now boys.
That's right.
Get that one back up there right
away.
Let's see that, let's see.
As soon as you get that off, we
have a job to take care of.
Okay.
I didn't bring all my air.
You didn't? I didn't bring all of my
air?
I'll give you a w-
I'll work it out.
What a cool fish.
If we get four more like that, we'll
be styling.
This is one of my golden spot all
the time.
If I want to pull a 20, this is
where I come. At the end...
It's usually plump when I'm riding.
But I don't want to say nothing.
Should have put on a pink one, mate.
There you go, and then you're all
set. Oh, hold on, hold.
This one ain't as big as that one.
Should be just legal,
I'm guessing.
Maybe we should only use sex lines.
Yeah, it's just way fast.
Way fast, yeah.
People keep those?
Yeah in winter yeah
Little guy.
Ow.
No.
Molly?
It should be in two weeks.
Yeah.
All right, I got it.
Remember, I gotta take a picture of
that, don't throw that in.
Okay.
Ha ha ha
Let's get 20 in the corner and be in
here.
Remember, remember, remember.
What's up, Black?
Oh, I think they're on that nitro.
Looks like the aim scale.
All right.
There you go.
Good. Good.
Welcome back to the program.
Good catch.
I guess I want to keep pushing.
I got fish at home.
You guys didn't want to keep
fishing, did you?
Don't do it again.
Bates,
got a box of peace, every
stinkin' one of these guys are
pretty cool.
So one time my kids, they wanted
to bet me on
FitBits. And we got our FitBit's.
And I came out fishing.
And my daughters, they woke
up the next morning and they're like
what the hell is Dan doing?
He's got like 1500
steps already.
When I had it on my wrist reeling
in.
Reeling in a pole?
Yep, reeling it in the fish.
I suppose the guy puts on a lot of
miles and reeling
these in all the time. Reeling these in all the time.
Especially in the tournament, you're
going all over the world.
Yeah, that purple one.
Oh, yeah
Yeah, that one.
I wonder if we should run a couple
higher,
higher than the 40.
Almost ripped it through now.
All right, Bob, I gotta strap this
one on.
I didn't strap in this.
Keep it up.
So we're going to be in there.
That should be a fish.
I see you're running, you're in your
depth.
All right.
Where we going now? That one.
That was over here.
True.
I'm going to go to sleep.
Ruppies on my daddy's family.
I do.
Have you fished a good rig yet?
This year?
Yeah, but not yet.
As I can, yeah.
Yeah, it just won't work, yeah, it
won't.
Yeah, he got intercepted.
Yeah, yeah.
It's because of the one cat.
Yeah, because of a cat. Yep.
Wow. All right.
Get back into it!
Yep,
that's a wing.
I can tell the whole world.
My second one, do I got my second
line or is it I got one on there
too?
Got a double?
Just bring it in nice and easy,
go as slow as you can.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yep, nope, you're fine.
I'll try to stay out of your way.
Oh, a sideways sheet by
the way.
Yeah.
I do have to go to the line.
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, they feel heavier when they
got another line in them.
I felt the tension on it.
Leave it.
Like a high up in the game.
14.
One on the board.
Not quite as big as the other one,
but I think lemonade again.
You need a pattern. Good call.
It doesn't matter.
What's going on here?
This was, this was the second one.
Yeah, I know, but I'll put the other
one out that you reeled in.
40.
This was at 45, I think.
When you're pushing these things
like this, you gotta watch your,
uh,
run your line, run your handle,
run you fingers on it.
You guys gotta watch out, yeah.
Those are 11 bucks a wheel, it's
worth it.
Or, or, the fish.
It's worth it, yeah.
Yeah, that's
the shit of what the lure hits, or
the pitch.
Thank you.
To be an honest man, I don't get
that.
I'm proud of you.
They make more lures,
it's harder to catch a fish than it
is to buy lures.
Just give me a second.
Yeah, and these are new clips, you
ever seen them before?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, oh, those are big ones, yeah,
I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, yeah.
Especially when it's cold outside?
Yeah. Oh.
It's so ea- That was it, that was
it.
Pass, call one of these, pass.
It's got a number for you to turn
on. All right.
I'm happy with that, very good.
Shit.
You
Good? Yeah.
Just hold it for a second.
Okay, perfect, thanks.
1-3 is where it's at, but...
Oh jeez, they get me screwing up.
No pressure.
Yeah, you too, I'm gonna put one on
Which one you put on Junior?
If you could cheat that towards me,
that's what I'd do.
When you're putting this in, you're
not putting this one in, are you?
That's the one I was thinking.
Was it? I guess.
Can you turn that towards me a
little bit?
Alright.
Got a firetiger on.
I do not.
An original one, no?
Sinking outside of the box
number last year
No, it's all like, so sometimes we
don't even know, right?
I will count at number
13 in the American Top 40,
whooping up 10 matches with
Flashdance.
Like when they're running and
you just straight line like this
yeah but sometimes the current you
don't even need to watch your board
no watch your rod tip
you know when you've got one on or
just set the drag a little bit loose
yeah
It's almost like salmon fishing in
Michigan. Yeah, it's like your
dream. You see it tick off.
Set your rig and...
That would have been great for you
guys to come watch us.
This is a native.
And you can kind of tell, so look
at...
Are you serious?
We're not in the tournament. It's
legal. Oh yeah.
Yeah, we're good!
That's right.
That's alright.
We'll talk later
storeways aboard an ocean line.
It's a story that's...
The camera guy is trying to get me
drunk.
Ha ha ha ha!
Anymore.
And hitting the ladies a little.
Right.
Return to their French cabin to
surprise us, and was he surprised?
Here were train girls who were
supposed to be back in New York, not
sailing across the Atlantic.
Well, the girls...
Yeah, Tom Walters ain't got nothing
either, we got two now.
Stuart came back to their friend's
cabin and asked him...
Yeah, 20 and a half and an 18.
Three girls.
The young man said no.
Right, that was twenty and a half.
Yeah, yeah.
Michael to Spotify.
And they didn't have the
money to pay their passage.
Fishman's road. The only storeways.
Laura Brannigan. The only.
The older ones.
Same shit
Well, I don't know now.
Well, Tom's here by us,
so it was
too clear.
Way too clear in there, he said.
All they caught was one,
or like ten sheephead
and then a catfish
or something.
No way
and then they tried to enter
fishermen's in
How many?
I didn't hear
Your phone must be...
Your phone is screwed up.
Oh, nine?
Yeah, yeah, I can hear you now.
Yeah, I don't know what to say.
If I find something out, I'll tell
you about it.
I'm gonna call Meads once and see
what's up with him.
And Todd.
Fuck I don't know man
decent
Yeah, but maybe a lot the same as
last one. New team, project.
Can we turn the radio off for this
one?
Can we turn the music off for this
one? Yes.
Yeah, if you don't want it on at
all, I don't know.
No, no, I don't mind it's just it
muddies up, you know good like
banter between you two
We got that thing on?
Go over on the other side, Butch.
Other side.
That's a walleye.
We almost got him.
Yeah, it's your honey hole there.
It's your money maker.
Yeah, boy.
$200
hard on this one.
Hey, hey boy.
Oh, yeah, I was gonna throw back in
dumbass
17 and three quarter
Hold on, I gotta take a picture of
something.
That was the end one, right?
So, 30 is this 35?
55?
Making another pass, butch.
And go for some upgrades.
Oh, fuck.
Let's see, can we hit 17, is it?
Come on, let's go.
Mm-hmm
Right there, 17 and three-quarter,
or 16 and three quarter, my bad.
Got it? Yeah.
But that's the difference.
Hell yeah, one more.
Wait, Zach was in my shot, but Zach,
can you hide?
Yeah. Son of a bitch.
One more, brother.
Okay, what's up?
13 feet.
I don't think this is a walleye.
If it is, it's a good one.
This ain't a wildlife.
If it is, it's a 28-29.
But we'll treat it as one.
And we're gonna turn around after
this.
Feels like a fucking kitty cat.
Kitty?
Kitty cat.
I've been surprised before.
This is one of them times
We're really pissed that we're not
in the fucking tournament.
Yup.
They're playing the damn piano here.
Right in the water?
Not now, I think.
It was earlier.
Mine's pretty high up in the bottom,
though.
I got the twirleys going,
there's maybe fall hooked or it's
a freaking sheep fucker, cat fucker.
I think it's a catfish.
Yeah, that's a can of fish.
Ha ha ha ha
It holds a little different flavor
than we want.
Thank you, have a good day.
I was hoping to be surprised,
depending on what I thought of that
one with the catfish.
Usually when the line is petting in
it's not a good sign
We'll have a lineup change next
round.
To what?
To the most productive, fastest
team.
Yesterday's glory a shot again
today.
I don't know what to
do with this.
Throw in the garbage, son.
Yep.
You got one for me?
I do.
Alright, we're ready.
I bet they're not right now.
Alright, let's rock and roll.
Peace, zoom in and out, my friend.
Yeah that's what we're looking for
zoom in on it real quick see what
he's got there
can you just open your tackle box
for us
Yeah!
Which one?
Where do you go?
I talked to a few guys.
Easier said than done.
I don't know, I find when I'm flying
out in the middle of the body of the
water though, the drone sometimes
freaks out because it doesn't know
where it is.
And it's like, what is this,
is this a landmine?
That's kind of what the one guy was
saying. Yeah, so I think maybe
we should see that in the park.
That's my man, one junior.
I didn't throw that back on.
Oh, you didn't? No, I threw
something similar.
Guess the purple was hot, guess the
red was dark, guess
it was hot water.
Because Portia caught him on the
same bait, so did my brother Jason
on the same bucket bait.
Well, not bait, they're the same
color, it's lime green.
I can't even force it out.
1819.
That was a good year.
That was seven years after the
War of 1812.
It's a fucking sheep head, isn't it?
No, it's not.
Oh no, coming up.
We got our four boys.
And just put that on.
I saw that.
Should have been maternity back.
I guess we'll get luck charms.
He he he he Now
we just go for upgrades
Meats ain't got shit Nothing
We'll have to wait for the weather to
calm down.
It's going all the way in.
Y'all
What are you doing? What are they doing?
What are these guys doing?
What are the guys doing here?
What are those guys doing in here? What are their doing? What are your
guys doing there?
Is that to the head of the moon?
Is that the head moon?
Oh, is that it?
Skinny little guy.
That's what we wanted him last
Sunday.
Yup.
But they were fat.
Lost an inch.
Part 17.
Good?
What's up, Balders?
Did we get a shot of that quick?
No,
we're running, well that one was on
like...
Copper root, copper root.
Purple. Copper.
Or purple.
Yeah all right thanks same
depth right that was 40 40 back
Just put that fucker on.
We just missed him on the other one.
Oh, big money again.
It was there all day, back
and forth, back and forth.
It paid off, you know.
So is your rager based on length
then?
Yeah we're doing it vitally yeah
yeah i told them all them other guys
take the picture and then we'll go
by yeah because it
yeah it's like a name scale
or on a street scale
or whatever you want
not on scale.
So Northland's has a scale that
goes by weight by inch,
so it tells you like a, you know,
seven... Rock.
Okay.
And, uh...
He caught a tagged fish that
we were in Otter Street so he's on
he was at Brother Town Point so
like right that way and
we were we were an Otter
Street area over in Millers Bay
in Oshkosh so
he caught that fish this
is no bullshit I seen it with my
own eyes but he caught it
took it in got it
you know weighed and blah blah blah
The next morning, he went back there
to the same spot.
He caught that exact same fish with
the exact same tag numbers on it.
Nope. That's no shit.
That's a long ways to go.
Was it a yellow or a red?
A yellow one.
A red one, you get $100.
Yeah, I mean, nice if it was the red
one. Yeah.
I only had, I think I only
caught two red ones in my life.
Two red ones, well a bunch of yellow
ones, but.
Yeah, I love it.
Where does that go?
Hawaii I heard.
No, Hawaii is the short one.
Australia is the shorter one. Oh,
Australia is a good one.
It makes sense.
Cross the globe.
Go there.
That's pretty cool though.
Right here.
Don't time like the present to punch
in, boys.
That's what we were just saying.
I can't get sick!
It's about what?
10 pounds.
Let's see if we can get a bigger
one.
Even if you were a bob-eye with a
big one, I think that's a good
thing.
I don't know why.
It's regular water.
Regular regular water?
I don't know why I
don't know why I don´t
know.
Let's go.
You got it, sir, you got it.
Oh yeah, I got it wrong.
You assist.
I assist.
Maybe you gotta throw me some
of them custom lures.
We are.
Find something that wants to catch a
fish.
That working wind is dying right
off.
It is.
So are you going to ask me questions
or what?
State Trivia.
I probably got an answer for every
one.
All right. All right, stay fossil.
Let's just not talk about work.
So I don't know what you do for a
living besides fish.
Ha ha ha
ha, yeah.
I don't know what none of us do.
Yeah.
And actually, I gotta do
something real, it's long enough.
I gotta take a piss quick.
All right, well, we'll get that,
too.
This year, right?
Next year, look at you,
you're pissing
Oh, that's right.
I got shorts on too.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, ready to pull the cranks
again.
Ha ha ha ha!
That tells us there's goldfish here.
Actually, unless they're on that,
they could be on that salt tip,
because that's like four feet down
there.
One second.
So let me get this on, man.
What's the next plate, Junior, when
this don't work I'll have to go back
to the work. Yeah.
No, we'll go back to where we
were.
That's a fish.
Oh, fucker got off. Oh, no, he's on
her, yeah.
Oh, deep away. It's an eight.
I don't like all the hergy-durgy.
Like a sheep head attitude.
Then I got it, don't worry about it,
it's a secret.
Positive.
Just give me a sense of what you're
watching for out here, just kind
of narrate for us what you
are looking for, what you think of.
With the boards?
Yeah, the boards, yeah.
What you're looking for is
any different action than
normal, like how
they're sitting right now, I guess,
yeah, that's normal, because
there's no play in it,
or there's not jerking or
anything like that.
The flags are all up,
you know,
a good way to
see that you have a fish on that
the tattletail is down.
The flag is down.
But sometimes it doesn't work like
that.
They, you know, every fish is
different, you know,
some pull rules, you know,
a lot of walleyes, they go and
they grab it and it's just
a soft bite and it's just a
saw pull, you
know, there the board will just
inch back, you know, that's how
I can always tell that it's a
walleye. I can pretty much,
you know, I'm not bragging or
nothing, but pretty much can tell
you what's on that
board.
As soon as it bites.
Other than that, besides a
jerk and a lot, then you know the
fish is on it.
Or the tattle, like that one right
there.
Okay, now, now this
one, uh-huh,
oh, I know what this is.
Fuckin' hot pink!
Like this one, now
this one's kind of, so
I'm going to eat my words a little
bit.
This one isn't doing anything it's
it's just steady weight so
to me if i was an eerie
this is a good one like
a 24-25
But it's hard to tell, being
on the rocks, we're in shallow
water. Every fish acts different in
shallow waters.
Why don't you take that?
Okay now it's pulling
where you gotta go now.
If this is an eye, it's a good one.
Oh, shit.
Probably 23, 24,
if it is.
And another way you can tell too is
when it's down, when the line is
down.
Usually it's a walleye.
Oh, thanks buddy.
Wanna come along every tournament?
Ha ha ha!
But when it jerks like that though,
when it's jerking, that's
usually a sheephead or a cat, one of
the two.
Yeah, that's probably it.
In this instance, it's a walleye,
so I called it right,
and it's a good one.
Hell yeah!
Boom!
Jesus!
Ha!
So, like I said, when you're
in stones you never know,
you don't know exactly because
they have nowhere to go.
The shallower you are, they have no
where to go, they can only go left
or right.
They can't go down any farther than
down.
So.
Chubby guy.
At the end of it, called it.
Guess what, I think lemonade,
just like you said.
That's Mikey's Mikey blanks favorite
on
this on this reef.
That's his best bait.
I gotta, I gotta just,
um, uh,
no, don't put it back to Hogan.
I gotta turn here.
We still got a fish yet, just a bit.
Fuck, I wish it was in the
tournament.
Hello.
Okay.
Gets three more like that again.
Yeah, and this time of the year,
usually you're
fishing stones.
They're in the mud, but they're not.
You want to fish majority structure.
That's usually where it's at, at
this time in the year.
Any time in May, you know,
end of May you can go out in the
mud, you'll catch them.
It's not.
Your best bet is being in the
stones, you know,
on any artificial reefs or
any reefs.
East side, west side, if you're in
Winnebago.
Now if you talk in Ohio, that's a
little different story.
They're out in the mud all day long.
It doesn't matter where you go, you
can catch them there.
But in Winnipeg, it's
a lil' tricky.
They don't bite like they do
anywhere else.
I can tell you that.
Every hour is different.
Any wind change, you got any wind
change. Current,
it's a big factor.
So what's that like for you when you
see that?
Yeah I get a little nervous
yeah that's
a that's it that's a good one for
Winnebago if you
get five of them or four
whatever whatever the tournament is
three four or five fish you can have
You get them,
you'll be in the top eight
for sure.
I would say.
Plus you get a kicker, you know, you
get, a 24,
25, and then four of them
with it,
you'll be right there.
You'll be in the top five for sure.
If not three, but.
That was just a fat piece of fat.
Ain't that long.
No, it's not that long, I see that.
That's where you're being penalized
by your system, right?
Yeah, yeah, because it's
fat.
More weight than length.
Well, in this system, yes, we would
want that fish. If we were in this
tournament, yes.
100%. We want them fat like that.
But when you do it,
what? Oh, here, I was looking
for my other board.
Yeah
You know, like Otter Street and
Otter street converted over
to this left that are traditional
that have that you got to
that you actually bring them in,
you know, which is one is Walleye
weekend and
the Winnebago Walleye series.
That's another one.
And then you got the Botox series,
that's also a
picture taken.
Pretty much there's only.
You know, besides bar tournaments,
besides bar tournaments.
Them you bring in.
That's supposed to be a catch and
kill tournaments.
Whether you want to do that or not,
that's on your own.
You're supposed to do catch
and kill.
Us tournament guys, we're not like,
you know, we'd rather bring them
back out and put them back.
That's just how we are.
You know, that is DNR rules.
You probably edit that out, but I
really don't care about them fuckers
because we do you know,
you know And there's a lot of people
that think
that us tournament guys kill
all the fish, and we
do not.
You know, I don't even keep no fish
myself and
my family, I should say, and
friends and the ones that I
know and fish with, we don't keep
these fish out here.
We put them back.
If you wanna catch fish, because
there's millions and millions of
them in Lake Erie,
in Ohio, they
want you to take them.
They want, you know, they can't
keep up.
Get anxious.
Is that excited anxious or
worried? Is it more fear that you're
gonna lose it or more excited that
you bring in the day?
Yeah, it's all above
I get yeah
Like that, if we were actually in
the tournament, yeah, I'd probably
have been choking a
little, but I get
a little nervous.
It's just, I
don't know what to say, but
everybody knows me.
They, they, they know if
I start puking, it's a good fish.
It's so.
Yeah, that's a
nice fish.
Where's the joy in fishing?
Tournaments.
Is it the end when you've won
or is it all of it?
I mean you hear NFL coaches who
say I don't enjoy the wins
as much as I fear the losses and the
lows are lower than the highs are
higher.
Are you right in that territory?
No, to
me, no
I just like being in it.
I just like the competition.
If I lose, I lose.
You know, it's fishing.
It's not catching.
So it's, I just
love it. And my dad,
Steve Gable Sr., he's the one who
brought me up. I started Wally
Weekend when I was 17 years old.
And ever since, you know, and I get
asked, Hey,
are we just going to go out fun
fishing?
I do not really,
I'm just not going to come out here
just for the shits and giggles of it
myself.
It's just how it got brought up, you
know. Thank you, Dad.
You know, it's just like hunting,
you know, the same thing.
I love it.
You know. And that's you got to fish
on her.
Yeah, I don't think it's an upgrade.
I think it's an upgrade.
It's a lie.
Oh, I know, you're gonna forget the
wall.
Yeah that's a walleye what
the hell else would it be what the
hell is that well that's okay
oh it's a northern
Guess we catch everything today,
boys.
Now you get to see it all.
Oh yeah, we're way off.
Okay, let's get this done then.
As soon as we get done with that
butch.
That's perfect.
And this is, this is how you
was supposed to do it in the aim
scale where you pinch the tail.
So this is 21 inch, but
now they changed the rules
where you got to put your hand or
your right hand.
You can't be on it, which this is
over the line clearly.
So that's
21.
Hold on, let me.
I got a good picture.
Got it?
Do it again.
OK. All right.
Thank you very much.
K.
Do you want me to do it again,
though? Nah.
Nah, you're fine.
I am.
Yep, we're good.
Good?
Hey, good job buddy.
Hasta la vista.
We'll pick up.
Oh yeah, we're making another run.
Why not?
But we were where we first started
and we were
at Long Point and
that's so shallow.
I mean we were in three feet of
water.
They can't go down.
Yeah, they were jacking
all the time.
Fuck, I wish we were in this
tournament, dude.
Son of a bitch.
I fucking knew it though.
I knew we would come out here and do
it.
Picking up
We'll make a pass if we don't get
none, we'll go, let's go.
Let Tom, let Tom be there.
We're going to pipe.
Christ,
I hope it ain't gonna get too windy.
Okay.
24 hours pulling stones.
I gotta do more interviews.
Get some more fish.
That was unbelievable.
Get some mic on, that works.
My brother would be proud of me
right now that I was talking.
I can't even swear
Did you put, hey, did you put a pink
lemonade on? I did.
Okay. All right.
Same page.
I had the one on.
I had that shiny one on, but
now I put a red one on.
With the, what was this one?
So this is.
Well, this is yeah,
this is the one that you got on,
right?
That's a custom one.
Yeah, that's a custom one.
That's awesome.
Yeah, wonder if I got any more of
that.
I'm gonna go fast, we're gonna fuck.
We're going, we're going too fast.
Yeah, we're going way too fast
a tonic shaker.
Put it in reverse.
Sure feels like we're in the
tournament.
I said it sure feels like we are in
the Tournament.
Yeah.
Well, we've got a heart, and then we
got all these sites that's going
wrong, so how do you decide
which is which?
Yeah
Sometimes, sometimes
it goes with, you know, clear skies,
bright skies, dirty water, clear
water.
Yeah. You know, and try
to match the forage of what they're
eating.
Like this year, there's a lot of
trawled perch.
You know, they're about three inches
long, four inches long give or take.
So you try to mimic what they,
what they're eating colors.
Yeah. Like, like Kevin said,
colors are that
goes by that the sun,
cloudy,
dirty, you know, it, you know.
Clear.
That's just a fa- ahhh
That's a toughie.
Usually when it's dirty water,
or murky water.
Pink Lemonade is about the best
for Winnebago, and especially like
in Winniconti and Bunamore in
Poygon.
That's the go-to
guy is Pink Lemonades.
And I gotta give that to Mikey
Blank, he's,
that guy, he's a good fisherman too,
he was my partner, he was in the aim
with me, or I was in aim
with him last weekend.
No, he's a big believer of that
color. And at this time,
you know, pretty much after the
middle of May.
Don't really use it too much too
often, you know, give or take, but
Yeah, it's just a,
you know, and a lot of guys too,
which I need to start
doing that. Like my partner that
passed away, Jason Gable,
he always wrote down, I got a book
in there. He wrote down every
tournament or pre-fishing,
blah, blah, it doesn't matter.
He wrote on everything.
The weather, the temperature,
the wind, the sun, the
whatever, he wrote down everything.
That's how we go back
years to years and years.
Just like last weekend, we didn't
even pre-fish.
I know, you know, I was brought up
on the lake because we
live in pipe that we just,
that's what we do.
You know, I go, I got a favorite
spot at this time.
Like I could go to Long Point.
If we would have stayed there, I'm
not guaranteeing we could have
caught our poor fish, but the
odds are it had been,
you now, in our favor,
but you don't know that.
But that's just what we do.
Like last weekend, we didn't even
pre-fish.
Just went out there and we got 18.85
pounds.
That's a good day.
Especially on Winnebago at this
time.
Because the water was
47 degrees at that time.
And just by one week,
now it's 54.
That's big change in one week.
But we had a rain that was warm.
Sometimes pre-fishing hurts you
because you've got too many apples.
Yeah, yep, that too.
That's 100 percent.
You know, there's a lot a lot of the
tournaments, you know, the ones that
I fish with my son or it doesn't
matter who I fish with.
There's times we get out
or we get in the channel, dock the
boat. Where are we going today?
I don't know yet.
We'll get out by the green cans.
Then I'll tell you, you know.
Well, did you pre fish that?
No.
You know.
A lot of it has to do with the wind,
especially if you're fishing stones,
you gotta have the right wind.
On each side and
even if you have a bad wind like an
east wind on the east side that's
always we
capitalize on that deal too quite a
bit which
is opposite of everybody's
thinking.
I'm gonna do it.
Do you have a fire extinguisher?
I always put it on myself, but I
can't catch one on it, so I'll let
you catch one.
And that water's pretty clear here
too, because you could see.
And that way also too,
when you put a bait in the water,
like how fast you wanna go.
And this mainly goes for eerie
because there's a lot of current,
undercurrent,
you know when you got your bait so
you see the reaction.
If you want it faster or slower or
more nonchalant,
that's how you do it too.
Like right now, we're going 1.5.
That's because of the wind.
And I got to steer.
So I got I got a goal somewhat.
Son of a bitch, we're not even
on it, god damn. Line.
I got off.
Yeah, we didn't get to it.
Wow
But yeah, there's all kinds of ways.
I mean, everybody thinks different.
Every bolt runs different,
electronics, you know, everything is
different.
Especially nowadays, it's so
advanced. You got LiveSculpt,
which I rarely use because
I'm not a jigger.
You know, we're trawlers.
In the main, I don't know.
There you go.
Pretty much the main key out of this
whole deal is fishing out here is
experience.
I've been here, you know, we've I
should say we we've been here,
all my partners, we grew
up here, we grow up in Pike.
So that's what we do is
we fish, you know, piss
off the old ladies and go fishing.
What do you got on there?
I didn't like the way it hit.
Okay,
it's down.
Yeah, no, that's probably a lot.
I don't think we need very big, I
don't think it's another grease.
Yeah, there's something there, dude.
Thank you. Thank you.
What do you mean, ten?
Right now, I mean.
You only had 10 feet hold on.
On it when I
when you were going down
Oh, you didn't have 10 total
out. No, no, no.
It's going to say what the.
Yeah, I see none of them.
We'll take a picture of it just to
prove it.
Yeah, we caught that fish up here a
little ways yet.
That other one.
Do you mark all your fish?
What's that? Do you Mark all your
Fish on the electronic?
You just remember.
Yeah, I always look,
yeah, yeah.
It looks like he does,
because his crap is full of dots.
Yeah, yeah, if I zoomed
out, there's
only 2,000 marks on there.
No, I took some friends out.
Actually, my half-girlfriend.
I took their kids out yesterday.
They never fished really on
Winnebago before.
And they had a blast, we did good.
We did really well.
And he jumps in the boat and
I had it zoomed out and you could
see all the lines.
He goes, how in the hell do you know
where you're going? I said, I
remember every line in there and I
can tell you exactly what we were
doing and using at that,
right there, you know.
It's just my job, it's just another
job.
Don't ask him what he did yesterday,
but ask him anything about fishing.
Yeah, don't ask me about last night.
Actually, I do remember it all.
Dude, his phone sucks.
That was 20 I know.
Fuck, we gotta get back out real
quick, dude.
That last one I got off was butt
saving.
Well, it's Sam.
What's going on there?
I'll let this all the way up,
part of this one.
But yeah, other than that,
Winnebago's a fun lake.
It can fool
you. Any wind change or anything
like that, it'll shut that
bite off like right now.
Wow, you called me first!
No third rate.
Yeah, we just touched
it.
And here's where we had that one.
They want to film the way in and
everything, so,
yeah, so.
Yeah, I know that.
What's that?
No, we had that 21 with the project.
Okay.
Yeah, the last couple.
I'm the god of it.
That's right.
Hot?
Yea. What's up?
Perfect. They're doing an interview
right now.
I don't
Good to you, man.
Good luck, yeah.
Hold on, what size would
Walter get?
He's got 216
and a half minutes.
Oh, he's just, yeah, a
20 and then dinks,
dinks. And then we came down to
third reef, we popped a 21,
a fat 20 fucking one.
And then we just got a 16
and then lost and just lost another
one.
Sure fucking wish I was in the
tournament, or we were in the
fucking tournament today.
God damn it.
Yeah, well now it's getting windier,
I don't know, we're going to
make one more pass because we had.
We'll make one more pass that third
reef and then we're going to pipe.
We're going diet pipe.
By the green cans.
What, you got 15s or what?
17, 17,
Oh, that's all right.
Oh, fun.
Well then go to Fisherman's
because I can't I can tell you to go
to a pipe because I don't
well maybe it's getting dirtier now.
I don't
Yes, right down the center, right on
the gut of them.
No, right when the contours end,
stop.
Oh, oh, just a little bit.
Just so you can get your, like,
two tenths so you get your board set
up before you hit it.
40 was a hot number there.
Okay, all right, good luck.
Yep, Jay's got his.
This smallest one is 16 and a half.
He's not doing too bad.
16 right on the head
Yep.
Gone.
If you do it right away,
they freak out on you and it's
actually more stressful on it than
if you just let them lay there for a
little bit.
Oh my god, they'll get nuts on you.
If you try to do it right away they
just go absolutely berserk on you,
and they stress themselves out.
And then also with doing
it like that or letting them lay,
yeah, like he said, it relaxes them.
But then the water's cold.
This is cold, yeah, you
can't do that in the summer.
When it's 80 out and the water is 70
degrees, no, no,
they'll die, and the
floor is hot.
That's a big deal.
Because we, us two, we fish Otter
Street. So which is, which is
what we were just doing.
What we've been doing all day is
that's how you do it.
Is, you know, take the picture,
blah, blah blah. Take the picture of
the hero shot. That's what they call
it.
Dump it in.
So.
Now we can go.
Yeah, that's a good thing.
Did the Walters get any more on that
other pet?
No.
Come on, fire tiger.
I think this guy's coming off.
Just not quite the fan of this one.
It worked last year, but that was
it.
All you need to do is grab the
biggest one out of it and you're
good to go.
Why the fuck is my voice on here?
You're doing this right, it's a lot
of work.
I bought my girlfriend a...
My half-girlfriend,
an anklet bracelet,
and where I purchased it was from
C.W. Smith Jewelers.
Actually though when I asked you
if you guys like brats and
hamburgers whatever the owner the
owners uh
her name is rondo and rob
weber they
uh they own
that the the pipe
Let me get to your light work here
so you can talk or what?
And then, uh, no, uh-huh.
And then anyways, uh.
Anyways, he just got back from Erie,
and then Rhonda asked him,
so did you have fun?
He goes, well, yeah, I had fun,
but fishing is a lot of work.
It's not like,
you know, because you wake up in the
morning, you wake at whatever, five
o'clock, you go and fish all
day. And then when you get back, you
got to clean all,
well whatever, how many guys have
you got in the boat, but normally
24.
And then you got make, clean them
up, clean up your mess.
Now you've got to eat.
Make supper for how many guys you
got, and then go to bed.
Wake up, do that every day for nine,
10 days.
It's fun, but it's not.
That's why I always take off Monday.
Well, you just had up 10 days.
Alright, we're good to go.
I think it's a very big one.
Got a little snark to it now.
Thank you.
Let's come on your side and play.
Another healthy one.
Yeah, pick a lemonade!
Yay!
The poor guy is going to watch this
and go, hey, that's the
thing to use all season long and get
scunked.
Yeah, it's
mainly when the
water is cold and the water's dirty,
that's the best
bait to use, in our eyes
anyways, but everybody's different.
You know, and another thing, too, is
it's hard to fish
other people's fish.
So that's why a
lot of the tournaments nowadays,
you could just talk on your phone.
You could tell your buddy, hey, I'm
catching them right here.
That don't mean nothing to
come and fish because every boat
runs different,
you know, kicker on a different side
than the other, blah, blah blah.
We can go on and on, you,
know, or if you're cross-cutting
them, the waves or...
Going into them, which that's very
seldom, but.
So walk me through what you were
telling me before about the fish,
about why it's actually less
stressful for them to hang out
with.
It just relaxes them.
It relaxes em, you know, and then
they...
So for everyone that sees this and
then says, oh my God, they're dying,
it's like us underwater, like how
long can a fish live in this
temperature?
Well, every fish is different.
Like you catfish, you could probably
leave that there a half a day.
It'll still swim away.
Them things are tough.
Or like a sturgeon, you know.
But yeah, walleyes.
But they're, you know, like I
said earlier, is the
temperature.
You know, if it's hot out, no, you
want to do that right now, you know,
before you even put your bait in.
And and actually, that's the rules.
That's the rule, like in the aim
series, pretty much all of them.
You can't put your rod or
your lure back in the water until
the fish is processed.
That's that's the way you're
supposed to do it.
Because if other people, you know,
if you're fishing around other
boats, you know they know what's
going on.
You know, you gotta abide by the
rules, you don't.
But yeah, that's...
That's a nice healthy one.
16.
Oh, yep,
oh that one might be a little bit
chubbier
Dude.
Come on, Kevin Schaeffer.
We're back on that line where we
first started.
I was off a little bit on the other
one.
This is down and good.
Thanks, buddy.
And a monster.
Sorry, sorry
See like right now his side is going
to be hotter because
his boards are running true with
the waves, mine are cross cutting
them, you can clearly see that.
So his side will be more
favorable than my side.
What do we got here?
Oh shit.
One more big one.
He's out there, isn't he?
Seven feet north, I didn't hear a
barum.
Gotcha.
To try to fall in the lake here.
I'll turn around after
we get our lines in.
16 and a-
Oh, fuck.
16 and a quarter
It's old.
Here, yep.
Techno music.
It's the beat when they slam in
there.
I was trying to figure out the
correlation between the girls and
the bikinis.
The big boats.
I had visuals, but...
