01:09:48,391 four or five pounders, lots of them. 1076 01:09:50,951 --> 01:09:52,850 We partnered with the DNR 1077 01:09:52,851 --> 01:09:54,290 to... 1078 01:09:57,681 --> 01:09:59,560 Females be caught and D 1079 01:09:59,561 --> 01:10:00,681 and R would strip the eggs 1080 01:10:03,591 --> 01:10:05,690 take them to a hatchery 1081 01:10:05,691 --> 01:10:07,690 for restocking 1082

01:10:15,530 rock and 1086 01:10:15,531 --> 01:10:16,770 that's kind of the end of it 1087 01:11:03,911 --> 01:11:05,430 You know, and that thing is full of 1088 01:11:05,431 --> 01:11:06,390 people. 1089 01:11:06,391 --> 01:11:08,050 You'd think every person in America 1090 01:11:08,051 --> 01:11:10,670 would have done this by now, 1091 01:11:10,671 --> 01:11:12,110 wouldn't you? 1092

01:11:29,140 He's got the same boats he did back 1099 01:11:29,141 --> 01:11:30,141 then. 1100 01:11:31,661 --> 01:11:34,540 And he's kind of a big guy. 1101 01:11:34,541 --> 01:11:36,460 And he was so nervous, you know. 1102 01:11:36,461 --> 01:11:38,600 He was a good fisherman, a good guy. 1103 01:11:38,601 --> 01:11:40,600 So he would put two customers in 1104 01:11:40,601 --> 01:11:43,330 on little boats and himself. 1105 01:11:43,331 --> 01:11:44,890 In the middle of whatever they are, 1106 01:11:44,891 --> 01:11:46,610 10 or 15 horse to our motors. 1107 01:11:47,811 --> 01:11:49,470 He would start right at this point 1108 01:11:49,471 --> 01:11:51,510 and do just what we're doing. 1109 01:11:51,511 --> 01:11:52,950 That's how we guided. 1110 01:11:52,951 --> 01:11:55,110 This whole

manager there. 1124 01:12:33,731 --> 01:12:35,590 What she did say was, 1125 01:12:35,591 --> 01:12:37,070 well, your boat's ready to be picked 1126 01:12:37,071 --> 01:12:39,010 up sooner than later, she said. 1127 01:12:39,011 --> 01:12:41,110 When she said that, I went, okay, 1128 01:12:41,111 --> 01:12:42,811 yeah, I get it. 1129 01:12:44,911 --> 01:12:46,990 So we've got a really decent 1130

--> 01:13:38,460 me. 1149 01:13:38,461 --> 01:13:40,380 I did some guiding out of it on 1150 01:13:40,381 --> 01:13:41,900 Winnebago, which I wasn't real 1151 01:13:41,901 --> 01:13:42,981 comfortable

01:13:51,080 you know, just don't be stupid, you 1156 01:13:51,081 --> 01:13:53,140 don't go out there when it's 1157 01:13:53,141 --> 01:13:55,080 just horribly windy. 1158 01:13:55,081 -->

01:14:08,201 --> 01:14:10,080 great gift for me to 1166 01:14:10,081 --> 01:14:12,160 have a brand new boat and 1167 01:14:12,161 --> 01:14:14,080 had zero breakdowns 1168 01:14:14,081 -->
