I was going to come here all day, I'm going to wait and see if we can take you down to 10, I know it's going to be true.
Now we've got the limits, I like limits.
I think 80 limit right now puts you to top 10.
The biggest monsters I've ever seen, but they are limited.
A lot of guys want that, that's what you've got in there.
7 pounds, 15 ounces with the light bonus over 8 pounds, 8.04, 8.04.
Alright guys, coming up to you guys.
We have one decent one in there, they need it all of them, but one medium and one a little smaller, not too bad.
Two fish only, we've got the right fish, 8.07, we're going to have high bonus, 8.07, we're going to have more fish to wait.
I'm going to get some light bonus on top, there's waves here, medium and union, Wisconsin, 6 pounds, any 11, 12, 11 ounces, 6, 13 with the light bonus.

West to guess.
Alright, 5 is a good number, limit on the small side, but you'll take the limit, 7.03, 7.08 with your light bonus.
Good luck tomorrow.
Alright, next to the scale, we are going to bring up a big band of bird, one fish to wait.
One lonely, big and big walleye.
But it's a stir, there's a lot of teams with a lot of stir.

Good to see you.
Alright, team 117.

Alright, sail out of Mike Rolloff now.
See if he's got a scale now.
I'm just giving the...
I don't know what team number that last one was.
The same one that weighed before it.
They have 9.08 total.
9.08 or something.
This is a decent basket of fish.
Rolloff and Rolloff.
Here we go.
They got a limit.
No monsters in there to put some decent midsize fish.
Should put them over 10 pounds I would guess.
Yep.
Well over 10 pounds.
1102, 1107 is their total.
Right now you're in 7th place.
Not too bad.
Nice little move up.
Nathan Keller and Corey Rick Lowe.
Not a blomira.
One fish.
This is Corey coming to the stage.
Oh my...
If it's 106 or less you may win a prize.
Too big.
108, 108.
I guarantee you that's the last thing he expected to hear at the scale.
Alright now we've got team 1...
Two fish.
That one in there could have went for the littlest one but you got too many fish.
You have to have one fish.
Two fish, 211.
213 is your total.
So we're four minutes away from the third flight checking in out on the lake
and we're going to bring up boat 125.
Our catching them is bringing them up here.
107, 107.
108 is your total.
Thank you.
Alright.
Alright team 115 now.
Mark Weber and Todd Newbar win four live fish.
It's not too bad.
I suspect they'll be higher than they anticipated in the race here.
Six pounds.
You're currently in 38th place.
38th place right now.
Get them to wild.
Well I bet you've got half the teams almost in.
Alright we've got boat 93 now.
Team Zemer, this is Owen.
Christian with Wyatt they've got five fish to weigh.
Oh and a new leader for the biggest cheering section.
Zemer and Zemer.
Pretty lively fish.

Eight pounds.
Twelve.
Eight pounds.
Twelve.
Nine pounds total.
You're currently in 20th place.
Not too bad.
Half the boat to weigh in.
Now we'd have been going for small fish.
There was definitely one in there that might have drive a wild fish.
One will say.
Go.
cleaning the fish in a very small bucket and in a wash station and we're going
into a couple deep fryers not in a nice shelter like we have today but just out
in the middle of the field we're a grassy area so it's come a long way from
serving 1,000 meals a weekend to we're doing over 2,500 meals in Friday
Saturday plus we have our fish sandwiches, fish plates and fish wraps that we
introduced a couple years ago.
So could you I mean would it be legal to have a walleye weekend without serving
walleye somewhere? Can't call a walleye weekend with a walleye right?
So totally what's the process like to get the walleye for this because I'm sure
there's a lot of people asked about this to come right off the boat.
We do get that question often but I know it is sourced it's Canadian walleye so
we do work with the vendor that sources the product for us and they've been
great partners with us and we they come through somewhat fillet but we do need
to still touch every fillet and make sure that all the gills are off
the dorm then they go to our breading station and battered from there and until
the fryer and right into serving the customers.
So the beauty of it is that usually we have a little bit of a line which is
perfect that way that each customer is getting a fresh fillet.
So what kind of is there a surge that happens at certain times of the day?
There are Friday night fish rice you know from four to eight it's it's a sprint
and then Saturday is a little bit more of a marathon where you get you get
a few pockets of busy times and some slow times but yeah definitely of course we
have great music going on all day long. Headliners are late in the evening so
that's when we get our biggest surges is right before the big ads come on.
What is it about walleye that makes it different?
Some many people's thoughts better than other fish fries that are out there.
For me personally it's just the best tasting fish maybe maybe perch is a
full second but other than that it's just a good nice fillet that fries
really well in good size and is really delicious to you.
I'm sure you don't see a whole lot of the upside down plate for someone not
finished it. If there's anything left that's usually a
little coleslaw or a little potato salad but no fish left.
So how long have you been part of you? I've been part of our lakeside evening
one since two thousand and eight.
What's enjoyable for you why do you give up a weekend to do this?
It is a lot of week a lot of work it's not just a weekend
it's a whole at least a good seven days plus then planning
beyond that but for me it's it's being able to get back to the community. We
raise a significant amount of funds that go directly
back into the community to support a lot of different projects from
youth sporting events to the local food shelters and
and homeless shelters and other needs within the community.
So do you fish personally? I do not never had the patience for it.
Do you have fun fishermen come through as mostly families or what's the
people coming through? We have a lot of a lot of families for sure.
What's very nice to see is that we have the older generation which is one of
our strongest customer base but then you also
start seeing the younger families coming in and the kids enjoying the fish as
well which is fantastic so that we know that there's
gonna be a future generation of customers for us.
And that's part of what we're looking at is the broader culture of walleye.
Where does walleye? I mean how closely related is walleye to
a part of Wisconsin? Definitely very very close
especially in this area obviously we have the walleye fishing tournament going on
right now and it's just a big part of our culture our community obviously the
friday night fish tries are very very popular all year
all year long myself I really miss a friday night fish try
probably yourself as well but yeah it's definitely a huge part of our
our culture our community and that's one of the things I love about Wisconsin.
Can I get you to say and spell your name just so I have a correct name and give
your title? Brian, B-R-I-A-N, Olson, O-L-S-O-N
and I'm the treasurer of the lakeside evening Kiwanis.
Alright Brian appreciate it. Thank you. So Mike's just gonna
bring them in.
I don't know what I'm going to get to cart first.
I told Chris we don't have any guys.
Two of them, which is somebody might have to go out.
There's this guy.
There you go.
