I mean, that boat can catch fish.
That's right.
You did alright, so you're good to go.
Alright, you're good to go.
Have fun, that's what it's all about.
I was putting on the side of the boat.
Four on the motor.
Thirty-seven.
Well, three-seven.
Number thirty-seven.
Last one for the first flight.
Morning gentlemen.
Morning.
It's not good.
Don't hurt your critical team.
It's a critical team.
Thank you.
You're forty-eight, right?
One forty-eight.
Alright, let's take it off.
Sit back.
Boat forty-eight.
Boat number forty-eight.
Morning.
How are we doing today?
Good.
You got this one?
You got anything in there?
Oh, that's the first one.
Okay.
Just a big one.
Alright.
Okay.
Good.
Thank you.
We got three boats left.
Forty-three, fifty-nine.
Yes.
Forty-three, fifty-nine.
Yes.
Forty-three, fifty-nine.
Yes.
Five is?
And then, we'll start going to check in.
That's the one.
That's six thirty-one flight.
We'll play hard.
Thank you.
So we've got a couple minutes and then we'll head down.
Yeah.
We got like three, four boats checking inside.
I think that might be enough.
Yeah.
And we'll have this next group.
We'll have a few more.
Yeah.
For sure.
So at 6.07, I did hear from Stevie City over slept.
Give me fifty.
No problem.
We have enough to shoot here for the next half hour.
Yeah.
No.
Sure, sure, sure.
Yeah.
So at 6.07, please shoot five minutes here.
That's good.
Let's walk down.
We'll get you where the mall just queued up.
And then maybe I'll be burning outside of here.
Absolutely.
Okay.
Yeah.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yep.
Yeah.
Yep.
Perfect.
It comes.
It comes from the water.
Yeah.
All right, I'm going to get in there and see what we're trying to get out of here.
Yeah, they'll be able to get in there.
I'm going to get in there and see what we're trying to get out of here.
Morning, guys.
Morning.
Excitement.
Get to see some good walleye action.
There you go now, hopefully.
I'm going to get out of here.
I'm going to get in there and see what we're trying to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here and see what we're trying to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here and see what we're trying to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here and see what we're trying to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here and see what we're trying to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here.
I guess some of them are 400-plus.
I'm going to get out of here and see what we're trying to get out of here.
I'm going to get out of here.
I'm going to have some traffic.
I'm going to get out of here.
Same protocol.
I'm going to get out of here.
Good.
I'm going to get out of here.
Let Tom be there. We'll go to pipe.
24, I was pulling stones.
My brother would be proud of me right now that I was talking.
I'm going to get out of here.
We're going way too fast.
I'm going to get out of here.
A lot of it has to do with the wind, especially if you're fishing stones, you've got to have the right wind on each side.
Even if you have a bad wind, like an east wind on the east side, we capitalize on that deal too, quite a bit, which is opposite of everybody's thinking.
I'm going to do it.
That water is pretty clear too, as you can see.
That way also too, when you put a bait in the water, like how fast you want to go.
This mainly goes for Erie because there's a lot of current, undercurrent.
When you've got your bait, you see the reaction.
If you want it faster or slower or more nonchalant, that's how you do it too.
Right now we're going 1-5. That's because of the wind.
And I got a steer, so I got to go somewhat.
Son of a bitch. We're not even on a goddamn line.
I got off.
Yeah, we didn't catch it.
But yeah, there's all kinds of ways. I mean everybody thinks different.
Every boat runs different.
Electronics, everything is different.
Especially nowadays it's so advanced. You've got live school, which I rarely use, because I'm not a jigger.
We're trawlers.
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 should say we've been here. All my partners, we grew up here. We grew up in pipe.
So that's what we do, is we fish.
Piss off the old ladies and go fishing.
What do you got down there?
I didn't like the way it did.
It's down.
Yeah, there's something there, dude.
What do you mean, 10?
You only have 10 feet old on it?
No, you didn't have 10. It's going to say what the hell.
We'll take a picture of it, just to prove it.
Yeah, we caught that fish up here a little easier.
Do you mark all your fish?
What's that?
Do you mark all your fish on the electronics?
No.
You just remember?
Yeah, I always look.
It looks like he does, because his crap is full of dots.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Hello?
Dude, his phone sucks.
Yeah.
I was 20 on that one.
Yeah.
Fuck, we got to get back out real quick, dude.
I saw him on the bench.
That last one I got off was both same.
Both same?
What's going on there?
I'll let this all the way out.
I saw this one.
Yeah, other than that.
When a bag was a fun lake, it can fool you.
Any wind change or anything like that, it'll shut that bite off like right now.
You called me first.
Fuck.
Oh, damn it.
Yeah.
Nope, nope.
They want to film the way in and everything.
Yeah, I know that.
What's that?
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, the last couple of weeks.
Yeah.
I only got a bit.
Yeah, what's up?
I don't.
What size would Walter get?
Oh, he's just, yeah, a 20 and then dinks.
Dinks, and then we came down to third.
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, or we were in the fucking tournament today.
God damn it.
Yeah, well, now it's getting windier.
I don't know.
After, we're going to make, we're going to make one more pass because we had, we had, well, yeah.
We'll make one more pass that third reef, and then we're going to pipe.
We're going to diet pipe by the green cans.
Yeah.
Or do you?
Huh?
What, you got 15s or what?
Oh, that's all right.
Oh, fuck.
Well, then go to fishermen's because I can't, I can't tell you to go to pipe because I don't, well, maybe it's getting dirtier now.
I don't know.
Yes, right down the center, right down the gut of them.
No, right when the contours and stop.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, just a little bit.
Just so you can get your, like, two tents so you can get your board set up so you, before you hit it.
Okay.
What were we, oh, 40 was a hot number there.
Okay.
All right.
Good luck.
Jay's got his, his smallest one is 16 and a half.
He's not doing too bad.
16 right on the head.
Good.
You're on.
But 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.
Yeah.
If you try to do it right away, they just go absolutely desert on you and they stress themselves out.
And then also, also with doing it like that or letting them lay.
Yeah, like he said, he relaxes them.
But then the water is cold.
This is cold yet.
If you, you can't do that in the summer.
No.
When it, when it's 80 out and the water is 70 degrees.
No.
No, that, that's, they'll, they'll die because the end of floor is hot.
So that's a big deal.
Because we, us too, 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.
Oh, we can go.
Did, uh, Walters get any more on that last, on that other pet and all?
Nope.
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.
Why the fuck is my horse on there?
I bought my girlfriend a, uh, what's that?
My half girlfriend.
Uh, anklet bracelet.
And where I purchased it was from CW Smith Jewelers.
And actually the, when I asked you if you guys like Bronson Hammers or whatever, the owner, the owners, uh, her name is Rhonda and Rob Weber.
They, uh, they own that, the, the pipe.
Let me just see your light work here as you can talk or what.
And then, uh, no, uh, and then, uh, anyways, uh, anyways, he just got back from Erie.
And then Rhonda asked, asked them.
So did you have fun?
He goes, well, yeah, I had fun, but it fizzens a lot of work.
It's not like, you know, because you wake up in the morning, you wake up at whatever five o'clock, you go on fish.
All day.
And then when you get back, you gotta, you gotta clean all, well, whatever, how many guys you got in the boat, but normally 24.
And then you gotta make, clean them up, clean up your mess.
And then you gotta eat, make supper for how many guys you got, and then go to bed.
Wake up and do that every day for nine, ten days.
It's fun, but it's not, you know.
That's why I always take off Monday.
Well, you just had off ten days.
All right.
We're good to go.
Get off?
No.
Oh.
Got a little snark to it now.
Thank you.
Another healthy one.
A big lemonade.
Yay.
You know, you're from now before guys are going to watch that single pink.
That's the thing to use all season.
Yeah.
It's mainly when it's, when the water's cold and the water's dirty.
That's the best, best bait to use in our eyes anyways, but everybody's different.
You know, and another thing too is it's hard to, it's hard to fish other people's fish.
Yeah.
So that's why it's, that's why a lot of the tournaments nowadays are going, you could just talk on your phone.
You could, you could tell your buddy, hey, I'm catching him right here.
That don't mean nothing to come and fish because every boat runs different.
You know, kick her 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 the walk me through what you were telling me before about the fish, about why it's actually less stressful for them to hang out for.
It just relaxes them.
It relaxes them, you know, and then they.
So for everyone that sees this and then says, oh my God, they're dying.
They're like, it's like us underwater.
Like, how long can a fish?
It's like in this temperature.
Oh, well, every fish is different.
Like you catfish, you could probably leave that there half a day.
It'll still swim away.
Done things are tough.
Or like a sturgeon, you know.
But yeah, walleyes, but it, 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 actually that's the rules.
That's the rules like in the aim series, or 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 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 got to abide by the rules.
But yeah, that's.
Yeah, that's a nice healthy one.
16.
Go.
Oh, yep.
Oh, that one might be a little bit chubbier.
Good.
Come on, Kevin Shafer.
We're back on that line when we first started.
I was off a little bit on that one.
This is down, dude.
Go back.
Thanks, buddy.
I need a monster.
Sorry.
Yeah.
It's like a fire.
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 is going to be more favorable than my side.
OK.
We got here.
Oh, shit.
Yeah.
More for me.
OK.
Seven feet.
No, I didn't have bottom.
OK.
Gotcha.
I'll turn around.
After we get our lines in.
16 and a quarter.
I'm trying to figure out the correlation between the girls
and the peonies on big bullets.
I had visuals, but...
But you didn't pop into my head.
I won't.
One more time here.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Yeah.
It's time for whatever.
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
Here.
Oh, shit.
No.
Oh, shit.
You know that guy at G&E?
Meets, yeah.
So you had some of the...
Oh, shit.
You're off.
Yo, up there here, bitch.
Oh, I can see a thing.
Fuck me.
Hey, they're behind one.
Maybe just where all the big ones are hanging out.
Yeah, I don't want to do that though.
Okay, and Mikey Blank dude, Mikey Blank, he's got all them big ass pen reels, pen
reels, and his rot hood, they catch fish, I'm not saying that, but how heavy them cocksuckers
are, you know, it's the rear ratio, when you're reeling, you've got a really, really slow
on them.
Yeah, oh yeah, because it's bigger, you know, it take, I don't know how to say that, but
I call almost like Michigan reels, that's what they are, like big ones, yeah.
Yeah, it's 32 miles long, yeah, once they know we're a junior's fish and they'll find
it, you know, it don't, just like starting a spiron, literally, no, we have a good group,
it's a boardingers, boardingers, blanks and gables, we do, we do pretty well, as long
as everybody is truthful to each other and don't lie about anything, runs pretty smooth,
most of the guys won't even ask, because they're going to get a dumb answer anyways, but,
yeah, it definitely got dirtier, just like the second last pass I got, oh yeah, it should
go up there, yeah, we're old after this, I mean, you can see it, yeah, it's like we're
going to go home and kill it right now, or later,
come on morning, right in fucking early, she don't work at all, so she don't need to
work, if she comes with me, she don't need to work, just fucking whatever, or get a weak
and bartending job to go fucking buy clothes with,
yeah, if you thought you were going to get some sexy life school to show today, that
isn't what we do, no, we're not a Brett Walzer, nothing against him, nothing against
your buddy, but, it's not what we do, yeah, that guy's a good fisherman, he's a good jigger,
he's got that all figured out to a tee, I give him that, yeah, very seldom we mark fish,
on the stones, yeah, as soon as they, the boat, or the vibration, they scatter away, you know,
and that's, well, I'd say something else, but then I don't want that on TV, because it kind of will
give that away, how we do it, if you know what I mean, because that'll last for years,
no, don't need to, or shit, we're already going,
you guys missing a whole ring, what the fuck would that be from,
I'll put it up here if you're missing it,
yeah, we're going to pipe, yeah, because then time is at 1.30, oh yeah,
and they can catch, everybody coming in, too, yeah, it'll be right there.
Yeah, but that, it's a combination, because if you look at the head of it, in the mouth,
it's kind of like a trout, but it's got a perch look to it, and once, earlier, earlier in
your year, there's dots on them, they're, like this one was beat up quite a bit, there's a lot of
dots that are on it, and stripes, so it looks like a perch, but, but it's got the head of a
trout, you know, and how they got here, I asked people, who knows, you know, we don't know, it
came, it came down from the locks somewhere, you know, but yeah, there's, yeah, this, yeah, and
they hook, they don't bite, they don't bite the lure, it's just there's, there's so many of them,
they group up, and then they'll follow the bait along, they'll just, you know, follow it along,
and then they'll get hooked on them, yeah, like last week, and we caught numerous of them, you
had to, you had to check your bait every 10 minutes, they're actually sand minerals, they call them,
sand minerals, sand minerals is the same thing, is it, yeah, we call them, yeah, we call them
trout perch, but really a sand mineral, is that a full size one, yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep,
yeah, that's as big as they get, as far as I know, right, no,
junk, junk, yep, that's, that's another reason why it's, it's hard to catch fish out here,
when there's that much bait, they don't need to, they feed at night, they go in the stones,
they gorge, they come back out, you know, usually about 11 o'clock, every take, blah, blah,
you know, and then they just rest, just like a sturgeon does, on the bottom, they go and feed,
they feed at night, and then, you know, they're, they feed in the morning also, they feed in the
morning also, but usually about, I don't know, nine o'clock, then they, then they raise up,
but lake went to bagel, it's always dirty in the winter, always, it doesn't matter, if there's ice
on it or not, it's always dirty, normally, you know, not like years ago, like in, like in the late
eighties and nineties, yeah, you could read, you could literally, down here, you could
literally read a newspaper, lay a newspaper on the ground, and you could read it, because I'd
illuminate it, or you know, it's yeah, but nowadays, with the locks, how they run that,
who knows, who knows, it's always, it's always a guessing game every year, but every year for the
last eight years, it's been, it's been chocolate, you know, and if you didn't have, if you didn't use
cameras, you might as well not go, because you're gonna be looking, you're not, you're not even,
your chances are like zero, to get one, yeah, seeing three feet down, you're not gonna, you know,
unless one comes right in up on top, which that happens quite a bit, but not, I've only had it
happened twice, and I, and I started when I was 14, so that's, so that mods are very slim to none.
We're good. You guys good?
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good, I'm good,
I'm good, got off, I felt to get off.
one little crank. There you go. There you go.
You like it? Yeah. Okay.
Stand on my fucking core, dude.
Oh, yeah, boy.
She got a little meat there.
It's passing it on a tool.
I can bring it down.
Hold on, bud.
Just wait.
Good run.
Get on.
I seen it already.
Hell yeah.
Now we're in it.
That's a fat one.
Oh, my God. I wish we were in this goddamn tournament.
It's fat. Yeah, it's fat.
What do you mean?
It's the fucking nutritional overachiever.
I like them.
Yup.
It's a pretty good day, boys.
It's quite a few fish.
No.
That's all good.
Yeah, we're going 1-8.
Fuck, are we going way too fast?
That's a fat one, dude.
It's a fucking fat one.
God, I wish we were in there.
I bet we'd have 14 pounds.
Right around there, right?
High, like super high,
because we were in 12 feet.
Oh, my, dude.
One different one in.
Oh, it just got off.
That was another good one.
Son of a bitch.
Oh, my God, that was a good one, dude.
Oh, my God.
That was a good one, dude.
Yup.
Go on.
Yeah, this fucker here was aggressive, too.
All he wanted to do was fight me.
Or no, maybe it was bottom,
but it was fucking...
I think I lost it.
Oh, that was a good one, too.
Plus the line?
No.
Or it was a fish.
I know it was a fish.
Plus the line?
Yeah, I think so.
I don't need shit on it.
Fuck, I should...
Yeah.
I gotta check them cocksuckers all the time.
How many feet did I?
Yeah.
Yeah, it wasn't.
It broke before it.
Yup.
Son of a bitch.
Nah, because I remember when I was telling you to check the lines.
That had a spot in it.
It posted off.
Damn, that's a nice fish, dude.
Nutritional over a treaver.
Oh, he's gonna make...
He'll make twenty-one.
Yup, go ahead.
Twenty-one and a half, huh?
Yup.
Nice.
Got it?
Yup, better.
Bingo.
Alright.
Three above forty-hundred.
Three over twenty-hundred.
Yup.
Right?
Yup.
And I-18.
Right?
Yeah, I think so.
I'm gonna find the operator.
I'm already a senior.
Ah, um...
Forty.
Yeah, that was a good fish, man.
Son of a bitch.
That was bigger than that one, I could tell you that.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I looked at it. I punched you again.
You could talk to me if that's easiest, doesn't really matter.
Yeah.
But I guess walk me through a little bit of, like, what's the right setup for you in order to go?
Well, I wish.
Like, what do you need to have in your boat? What do you have?
And you can kind of, like, move around, show and tell if you need to.
But what makes the best setup for you?
All right, well, as I was saying before,
every situation is different.
For us, we like to troll.
So our number one thing is trolling.
If we got a jig, we got a jig. If it's that rough and that dirty,
that's what you got to do. You got a jig.
But, yeah, for trolling-wise, yeah, the main thing is, yeah,
the boards, the boards are huge.
You know, and I give it up for church tackle.
We might have fight them a little bit.
We use different clips. We take all their hardware off and then we use our, you know,
different hardware from different spots.
We started this probably give or take 10 years ago.
I wish I would have put a patent on it, but I didn't.
Or I should say we didn't.
And, yeah, and as you probably seen earlier, you know,
you just clip it on, twirl it, twirl it three times and click it on.
But the best part about this is when the boards are out there,
you get a fish on, all you got to do is snap it.
So you don't have to, if this is an outside board,
you don't have to bring in them first too.
Like on regular boards, or it doesn't matter.
It could be these boards too, but if they don't have these clips,
you have to bring them first two lines in, rods in,
to get that fish on the outside board.
With these, the way we do it, you just clip it or snap it.
It goes back, falls right behind the motor, done.
You bring it in. You don't have to, you don't have to,
you're, you're fishing, you know, all the time.
So that's huge. That's a one big part of it.
Um, why we did that.
The second part is you're not fighting the board, really men.
Yeah, yeah, and you're not fighting the board, you know.
Sometimes we, we don't, we don't snap them purposely,
because if it's, you don't want to change direction or pattern
or whatever that fish is doing, if it's coming in, like,
consistent, leave it alone.
You don't want to do nothing to aggravate it, if you want to say.
Um, but as far as like, you've got the engine set up,
you've got a trolling motor, multiple motors, like how do,
how do all those work together for you?
Yeah, so with the, and then you got the kicker motor in the front,
or I mean, uh, the ball mount in the front.
So you always use a ball mount for your steering.
And then you put it on, uh, north for your heading.
And then you always use a kicker to help it along.
So you're not using all the battery power.
So that's huge, having a kicker on the back.
Um, yeah, of course a ball mount, because otherwise,
if you don't have a ball mount, you're constantly steering.
And then if you got fish on, if you got multiple fish on that once,
then you're, you're offline.
Um, really quick.
Uh, and the graphs, the graphs are huge.
Um, I use a Lorentz in the front.
That's, I use that for my, my heading.
All my coordinates, blah, blah, blah.
Um, which is good.
Lorentz is very, very good, but Garmin.
The pixels in the Garmin are way better, um, more defined.
And you got panoptics.
You got live scope.
You can all do on that screen alone.
And then you got the rot, you know, then I can, I could scope out 120 feet.
And then see the fish, you know, if you want to.
Um, yeah, in rods.
It is comfort with your boat with, I mean, if you picked someone else up
and put them in here, you wouldn't someone else's boat.
I mean, that would just throw everything off, right?
Yeah.
We were just talking about that earlier.
I, I, I got a fishing buddy that I was with last week and in the EM series.
And he's got a nice setup.
It's all nice, but everything is different.
You know, he's got different clips.
He don't have clips like we have.
Um, the, the pen reel, he's used, he uses big pen reels.
Um, that's a little bit, they're heavier.
The clicker, the, the, the whole system is different than what I use.
You know, mine is a little bit more.
And my eyes is simpler.
It could be mine, my stuff could be way different in his eyes too, which, you know,
it's, it's different.
Yeah.
Um, yeah.
Yeah.
Other than that.
Yeah.
Every boat is different.
I mean, most guys got the rants and, and garments.
You know, a lot of the guys got a lot of the same stuff.
You know, trolling rods, jigging rods.
They're all pretty much, we're all pretty much using the same thing, but a little
different, you know.
Um, everybody has a different feeling to every piece of equipment.
You know, I try to go with the easiest, the lightest, quickest.
That's in my eyes, because every minute counts out there when you're,
when you're in a tournament.
If you're fun fishing, you don't need this stuff that I have.
You know, you can go, you can go to flea farm and buy, you know,
whatever you want.
That's fine.
But the stuff that we use, yeah, it costs a lot more money, but it
lasts a little bit longer.
You know, like the rods, the Denali rods.
We use all Denali's detention.
You can feel that, you know, like earlier, you've probably seen, you
know, I knew that.
I felt that little, that little head jerk in the rod.
You could feel it in my hand.
And I knew exactly what was going to, you know, going to happen, but other
than that.
What's the test pound you're using?
We use 14, 14 pound test sunlight for our main.
But then that goes, okay, that's different too.
You know, with the, we don't run a snap swivel or any of that.
We just run it direct to the bait.
But when you run in harnesses, that's a different story.
Then you have a leader.
Then you have a leader with a swivel on it.
And then you use 20 pound fluorocarbon that we use on that.
So you said, how long have you had this boat?
Three years now.
Yep.
And I mean, is there like a sentimentality to being in this boat?
Well, comes down to money at this at that time.
Yeah, I'd like a new boat.
But no, no, this has treated us very well.
Multiple tournaments that we're in every year.
It's, yeah, no, I can't.
You know, I love you.
It's my baby, you know, but yeah, other than that.
Yeah, no, it's, I love the boat.
Lund, Lund has got a great boat.
My whole family owns boats, which you've seen earlier.
When we first started, my brother was the side of us.
He had a lung, and my other brother's got a lung.
Yeah, no.
I said you used to fish with a cousin who's a longtime fishing partner.
Yeah, Jason Gable.
Yep.
And that was a big part of your fishing experience as well.
Yeah.
Yep.
I started with him about 20 years ago, and he was, yeah, we were, we were like brothers.
We knew, we were like, actually like twins.
Because we were thinking always the same thing all the time.
If I told him I put on a bait, he already had that bait on.
Before I even even said it.
You know, we were always thinking the same thing, you know, kind of like me and Shafer.
Kevin, you know, and Mikey Blank, we're always all my teammates.
Mike hit my son, Tristan.
Yeah, we're always, it's just, I don't know, I don't want to say it like that or anything,
or a break or anything, but it's, you know, I taught these guys quite a bit, you know,
and we fish, now we all fish together, you know, and they taught me Mikey Blank,
Shafer, all of us, we taught each other, you know, which is huge.
And then when, especially when you're in a tournament, you ain't got to sit there and
bicker or blah, blah, blah, or anything, you know, anything like that.
You know, everybody's got their own, you got your job, you do your job, and it pays off.
Like today, today it paid off.
Yes.
Do we wish we were in the tournament today?
Very yes, so much, but it is what it is.
Yeah.
You said before that you had your partner with you, his ashes are in the boat?
Yeah, yep, yep, I got my buddy's ashes in the boat in the glove compartment.
Actually, we dumped the ashes in a few places, one of our best spots in Erie,
twice, and then up, up at, up north by my cabin in his deer hunting spot.
And then, and then another spot I can't really say.
But anyways, yeah, no, he's always with us.
It don't matter.
You can come to my house, have a urn there, his pictures, yeah.
And then if you go in my garage, you'd really like that.
All our fish, so when he passed away, all our fish was in his, in his house.
So now they're in my garage and I got his jersey with his name on it and all our plaques.
Yeah, it's, he's always there.
He's fishing with us all the time.
And then like last weekend, all we did was pray to, hey, come on, much.
Give us a couple of good ones, you know, and he did, and he did it.
We did very well.
I can't complain about that.
But yeah, yeah, I miss them.
We all miss them.
Some a little bit more than others, but yeah, no, that was, that was like my brother, you know.
And his mom, that's like my second mom.
But yeah, but other than that.
Yeah, that's pretty much, pretty much our experience and fishing, in the fishing world,
or tournament world, I should say, not fishing.
That's great.
I think that's all we need now.
We're good.
Thank you.
At some point, we'd like to come.
I've got two, three.
One, two, three.
I need healing, right now.
Do you want to go swimming?
No.
Can't swim late.
Yeah.
You're always thinking that.
Four something.
Here you go. I think you got a little more now. I think you got like 9, 5, 1.
Big one right now is 5, 5, 5, 8.
Alright, take the right one.
Well Heather will give you a ticket.
Oh I'm gonna get a big one.
I just got a big one from Big Mike.
Thank you Mike.
It's windless.
Kinda like me and Walling too.
This is a pretty good weight.
Alright.
Right?
That is a respectable 7.94 pounds. Way to go.
And you got three more events to get a team of the year.
You're right there.
About 59.
9.
Corey.
Uh we're pushing rip and wraps at the end of the day.
We're trolling old morning.
Nothing's happening. Nothing's happening.
And it's out across the bobber zone.
It's a rip and wrap boat.
And finally it happened at the end of the day.
Good.
Oh man that's a good story.
I like it.
Let's see if it paid off for you.
That's a respectable bag.
6.97.
Way to go.
And you got three more tournaments to get a team of the year.
The only way is up.
I don't know if you're going to cry or if you want to wipe the table.
Zero!
David Harmerson, Scott Mills.
Come on up here son.
Wake tight to the table.
I want you to tell me how you call it as Walling as time.
You know the top part but uh nearly on the wall now is the part of it.
Slick bobbers man.
When the chips are down, the slick bobbers are way to go.
Are you on the west side?
On long point.
Looks like you went right away and picked fish today.
At you 14.3 pounds.
Pick the right fish because I'm going to tell your partner if I thought you picked the wrong one.
Pressure's on.
Yeah how are you supposed to find a big and you got a tag fish?
I wonder what the tag was.
Really that's the one you want?
Really?
Put it in the bucket.
You think you took the right one?
I don't think you did.
I'm kidding.
All right you need uh 5.59 it's going to be close.
4.35 yeah but you got to take a shot.
Guess what you got three more tournaments.
You can be team of the year.
All right looking forward to it.
Well we're looking forward to seeing you.
Grab a ticket from the beautiful house.
It was the same for a lot of the field girls in a couple of different areas.
Things like dirty water but we got three more tournaments in the water.
You can be team of the year.
1.36.
Thank you for talking to us.
Thank you all.
We're going to give you a try to take one.
Thank you.
Oh you're both are coming in now.
Both of them are 5.7 overall.
13.
Wait a minute.
15.
Look.
Take a turn.
Okay I got one question.
Uh first we'll stay tight to the table.
You can find them.
You look so much better now.
You don't want them to be there.
Get it.
Oh my god thank you.
Okay I gave her our next time.
A lot of something.
4.77.
We're starting to run it for a team of the year.
We'll see you next time.
And this ain't.
Yeah.
And she's going to give me a thing.
Henry.
Okay 45 0.
That's 38.
All right you got it.
All right.
And you really don't have to eat the basket.
You got to find them.
That's a game.
That's pretty good.
Yeah.
But you don't have to have to save me.
How'd it go again?
Another.
Oh number 72.
Come on up boy.
Got blood and garbage.
Nighting.
Are you excited?
Yeah.
Oh my god this first time we got.
I'm J.
Yeah you said.
Oh we got a little in common.
How'd it go today?
I'm sure it's.
Pretty high.
Well two 16.
Look the good news.
Just don't.
I don't even hear it.
You've got three more.
I don't.
A lot of shots of like the logos and stuff.
This thing is going by nice and slow.
Or just all along.
What did you want me to do there?
Do you want me to go?
I'm not going to stay away from the actual stuff.
The right fish.
Because if he picks the little fish,
I'm going to tell his his partner.
Your dad's in the boat.
If he took the wrong fish,
we're going to tell your dad.
Let's see.
559 to beat.
Oh just a bit outside.
4.5.
Hey welcome to the WWS point zero four is respectable.
And guess what?
You got three more tournaments.
You could be team of the year.
4.9.
Team 49.
Come here, son.
Let's see.
Let's make sure I'm talking to Jeff Raymer and Adam.
You're Adam.
Yeah.
How you doing now?
If I had to tell it to be swimming, but.
How do you think I'm going to do it?
I'm going to do it.
Team 49.
My team.
I'm going to do it, man.
Team 50.
How about you?
Let's see.
I got you down in Brad Wright's and Robin Lane.
I was making sure.
I remember you and you were a lot smaller.
Good to see you.
Hey, what are they finding?
Man.
I'm going to go on the boat today.
All right.
Well, I got four.
One, two, three.
I got three.
I got this.
Yeah.
What was your presentation?
I get two.
Who's selling the wild actually?
Oh, yeah.
That's right.
I heard it, man.
Okay, Max.
Are your efforts today?
Six, four, seven, eight.
All right.
Ready to see.
We got three more shots by two.
All right.
See you next time.
Oh, number six.
Two.
Fifty-fifty, right?
How you doing?
How was it in the boat?
I don't know.
You might have been on one side.
How's the ride back?
All right.
Hold on, all right?
Just hold on to any of it.
Let's see what your efforts got you today.
Six, four, three.
Four, one.
One, seventy-four.
Christopher Tyler and Jamie.
I'm getting better than that.
I'm getting worse.
I'm going to go on the boat tonight.
Four fishes, birds.
That's what I'm talking about.
That's what I'm saying.
I'm getting on the presentation.
Thanks.
And their big fish.
Cheating in the moon.
You're in the river with any swim.
Yeah, you didn't have much current today with that wind.
I'm just thinking to you guys,
I've got one in the river.
But that's all right.
You got seven point two, six pounds.
You got three more turns.
Two, seven, ten of you.
Go over by the beautiful Heather.
She'll give you a ticket.
You got to see her when she got her uniform.
So, we have a little help.
Oh, number 61.
Come on up here, sir.
Johnson's auto body.
I know there was a guy.
Nice and tight.
We have one right here.
So you...
Where'd you go?
Here.
I'm running.
Well, you got some light on best if you won't get that one together.
Early in the river.
We got four.
Eric, Eric.
Eric, show.
Here, Eric.
All right.
Come on.
Nice and tight to the table.
I want you to tell me how you got those things.
Thanks.
Yeah.
You sure are less than that something.
You sure are less than that.
It's pretty incredible.
A lot of people don't know.
We got a lot of girls.
We got a lot of girls, we got a lot of girls that give us.
In the red one.
Did he hear your songs?
It's 11.7.
About 43!
Ryan Clastrian,
Mark Hollett,
Mark, you picked the wrong one, I am going to tell.
Oh, I guess not, Moby Dick.
All right.
5.5 now.
To beat.
This is going to be close, man.
You had a good one on this page.
How many pounds did you get?
OK.
How was the other day?
You knew it wasn't one.
6.5 now.
No, I got three more tournaments.
But you can see the center line, is that right?
What's up?
Hold on, let me just...
You got the entertainers back in the morning.
You got everything you want to know.
How many pounds did you get?
I got 30 pounds.
I think it's a good round, but...
I don't blame you.
You're so good.
Hey, you're doing it.
You want to keep it?
Like us?
Sure.
For me today, you need to be 14.3 pounds.
My handsmen and handsmen.
What a display of England.
The man.
The men.
The legend.
Right here, right tight to the table.
Last guy wasn't tight to the table.
Yeah, don't do that, it scares you anymore.
I don't blame you.
I didn't go like that.
We got our limit, though, at the end.
We'll have the same size, which will go well in front of the table.
Keep it huge.
We got four of them.
You got three more tournaments to take a run for the team of the year.
No, we subbed, so we don't get teams of the team of the year.
You're my team of the year.
Here we go.
6.24.
That's respect.
See you, Brad.
Don't forget about the meat rifle and the pot of gold.
It's coming around.
Come on, sir.
Team 42.
Right here.
Stay right up for it.
Jeff Schmidt, Carter, your partner.
Good to meet you.
Good to meet you, too.
Was it fun fishing the WWF?
It was, but it was tough.
You wait.
It's going to get better.
We got three more tournaments coming.
We're at your boat taking a day.
Well, we went up to the upper of the lakes,
and we came back out to the big lake.
That east wind made things a little different.
Hell, I guessed it, right?
Yeah.
It was definitely different to master.
Yeah.
But you still, you still pound it out for real free.
And you got three more tournaments to go.
You can do this.
Okay, don't talk to the boat master.
You got to talk to the MC over here.
Team 52.
Where are you?
Well, you're not Mitch Don.
You're Kurt Yeller.
Give me a hug.
How did it go with the Mitch today?
Well, it's a classic case of, I wish pre-fish day
would have fell on tournament day.
That's all I got to say.
We didn't get the right bites.
Everything got smaller.
We went down the river for a while,
hit the lake for a while,
and our full fish, we got it, we'll be waiting.
That east wind and water clarity and all of it
was the perfect storm for all the shucks.
But I tell you what, you still pound it out 7.96.
Oh, man.
You're right there for team of the year.
As always, my pleasure.
Don't forget about pot of gold and the meat raffle.
There's the two beautiful ladies walking around now.
They will make you rich.
Just buy a ticket.
And don't forget to go talk to the bartender.
We have the best bartenders and fishing.
In fact, if your life isn't going so good,
your wife aging, your dog limps, and your glasses,
tell me your problems on your order of beer,
and they'll be very nice to you over there.
We bring these in because they care about people.
Team 64.
Mason Arnold and Mike Schulke.
Nice take to the table, everybody.
Oh, how did it go?
Not great.
We only got one.
Windy catch, really early late.
Last hour and a half.
You don't sense a Russian Indian saying that.
No, you might have went to the end to go,
but I could make them more excited, right?
And you got three more tournaments to go,
so this isn't the end of the road.
So 1.58.
To me, that's respectable.
All right.
It's your ticket for the beautiful Heather.
We're running out of boats.
7-0-0.
Boats are 7-0.
That's 70 in my land.
Mike Hope?
Dan Zimmerman?
Oh, that was a 0.
Oh, okay.
Well, that's why you meant by 70-0-0-0.
One more left.
Let's see if you can bring the wind past this pool stream.
It needs to be 14.3 pounds.
Dan Zimmerman.
You know, first time here,
this is a pretty respectable,
very respectable performance by our viewers.
Yep.
Dan, he's unloading that basket.
He's got a few fish in him.
And then Lydalynn.
People go nuts.
So if you're never been here for the awards,
you're going to want it.
Oh, by the way,
you're going to want it to be a good attendance
for you as well, right?
Yeah.
Just for being here, you'll be a winner.
Okay, in the last photo of the day, make it good.
How'd it go?
Oh, it won't be.
We're grinding.
And grinding.
It's only an afternoon.
Let's talk.
We're jammed up on it.
Three fish.
Three.
It's not bad.
It's a good news.
You can be team of the year.
Let's see how many you got.
Do you think you want to weigh a big one?
That's 5.59.
You want to think positive, you know?
I was hoping you'd pick the wrong fish.
I was hoping you'd pick the wrong fish, I tell you, please.
Yeah.
All right.
See you next time.
All right.
Good to see you.
Wow.
I believe that's the last boat.
This is the unofficial 14.32 wins it.
Hands been in hands.
12.36 in second.
All in Israel.
12.34 in third.
Supling.
I'll give you the top five.
12.28.
Saddling Jacobs.
And the top five is 11.70.
Herding shelf.
Now.
Good time to grab a beer.
What is it good for?
Okay.
Three fakes.
I don't know.
Can you get three?
Yeah.
Give me one.
I don't know.
Right here.
Let's go.
I have one last thing.
Yeah, I never did go try this one.
I tried to get a little bounce.
And the passage between the work are on double complete golf.
Yeah.
Just got it on.
Maybe we had nets to it.
I don't know.
Oh.
Okay.
With that Norlin's hot dog done.
I don't know what it would be.
There.
Perfect.
We've got this.
I don't know how that works.
It's not.
What do you want in here?
I don't know.
There's no utensils.
Just get one now.
Okay.
Did you make a fart?
No.
Let's just get one.
It's all fun.
Hey, what do you want in here?
It's all fun.
Yeah.
We have some fancy spots in here.
This is fun.
When I win, it's right next to you.
You know what?
I can't do this.
I'm going to see you.
Point seven.
That's better.
You want to go up here in the corner?
I'm home.
This is great.
Even if we'll be able to make sure.
You might see that happen again.
Women's girls.
Gini Looks good.
We want fit in there.
I'm really shocked when my star is broken.
J.J. is on my dragon.
J.J. is doing excavating.
Because I like our dream.
You ever heard this guy sing like,
they're looking?
Oh yeah.
You know what I mean.
This will sing today.
That was my dream.
One of those puppies,
Mother of the Grail,
and the beautiful guy.
Mr. J. Gletter,
brings a good meatball,
and a very tall little fish with a bunch of meat.
Raised handy ones,
and some tiny meatball.
We're on visit when he's playing with a tiny fish.
But they're in stock notes,
and they're ripping lips back up.
They're doing this before,
and they're sitting there.
Little husky, you can't go.
You can't go.
You can't go there.
And let's...
Just have a look,
and go up around the field.
And let's say,
I'm going to flex tonight.
I'm going to notice this.
Hey!
I'm going to scream.
Hey!
Give me another scream.
I love her.
Join me on his time,
and I'll make her to make this thing happen.
For some fabulous personally,
I like how you're doing.
We are blessed with great sponsors.
Blessed with great sponsors,
great animals,
and great people that come to us
and have been looking like this.
Jax said,

This one.
You.
I'm.
I.
and.
Maybe.
I.
Maybe.
That would be awesome.
And just talking about all of the money that's sitting over here with this shop right here.
Just like these massive motors all lined up.
I'll get that too.
Yeah.
And then you got this one.
Yeah.
Two buddies.
Yeah.
Awesome.
One little tournament.
Yeah.
That's it.
And it's just.
I mean, and where are they all coming?
It's awesome.
Yeah.
I mean, so when they travel for an hour or more.
They're fine.
Yeah.
They're serious.
They sell at least.
Right.
Yeah.
I'm going to see.
No, right?
Yeah.
It's like, it's not even like, I mean, we used to pull tubers behind our...
Ditching book.
Yeah.
And that, look, that was just beautiful to me.
Right.
Yeah.
It's just a design, right?
Yeah.
Ugh.
Yeah.
Okay.
You're a little housey here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Let me.
That's not okay.
Okay.
Gotta just get here.
Yeah.
You're your home.
And I will destinations.
That's it.
I don't know if I'm going to do that.
I'm going to do that.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
I'm going to do that.
I'm not.
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
I'm not, I'm not.
I'm not.
Go ahead, Jim.
So, he's so nice.
Attachny,
We don't have any effort.
Let's go to make that sound.
Just like your.
Yes.
80,000 dollar post, no, don't post, no, we got shots here, we love it.
I'm cheering for you the whole day.
You can't win like 36.
Considering you can't fly across the lake at a hundred mile in the land.
It's pretty good.
That's because it's a good condition.
So what do you guys want to hear on 10?
So this is part of a much bigger project.
Probably, yeah, that's what we're trying to figure out,
if you want to focus on it.
We work on the whole state.
We've been up at Amaconda in America.
That doesn't move.
That pull focus.
Yeah.
Take care.
I'm not saying it's probably a big property in that.
Well, I mean, part of that is that the wall I are so good here.
Right.
That it can support this level intensity.
That's why that's bad.
I mean, part of what this story is looking at is the fact that
why isn't that one of the tech brands is strong on artificial human man.
Yeah.
Other places that they're literally doing.
Right.
Yeah, I couldn't believe some of that.
I mean, all those guys call at least three-four, you know, a couple of questions.
It's crazy.
It's like hundreds of teams.
I have no problem.
We make a good team.
We teach drinks all day in that room.
Yeah.
No, Junior seems like a gamer, though.
Like, it's really fascinating.
Like, we've got to just grow up here.
You can fish in this place this whole life.
You just know it's the ins and outs.
That's really interesting.
I was surprised to hear when you actually had kids.
Yeah.
But then I'm surprised to know that he's not married to the music.
I think we could, you know, kind of play to that.
