WEBVTT

00:00.000 --> 00:16.360
Well, it's like I've never done this before.

01:16.360 --> 01:38.360
She's a man, I can't freakin' see.

02:08.360 --> 02:38.360


02:38.360 --> 03:08.360


03:08.360 --> 03:23.360
That was interesting.

03:23.360 --> 03:34.200
I could have added about two more feet of concrete on this side, but man, I'm in the

03:34.200 --> 03:35.200
rocks.

03:35.200 --> 03:42.200
I hope you didn't film that.

03:42.200 --> 03:47.200
The guys are going, this guy ever launched a boat before?

03:47.200 --> 03:50.200
He's coming down to rocks.

03:50.200 --> 03:55.200
There's a lot of scratch marks on those rocks.

03:55.200 --> 04:00.200
At least that started.

04:00.200 --> 04:04.200
More than I can say about other stuff here.

04:04.200 --> 04:09.200
I was working on this more.

04:09.200 --> 04:17.200
So I was going to replace the carpeting with vinyl flooring two years ago.

04:17.200 --> 04:29.200
That's when I hit all the terrain load of sicknesses and just sat out there and I never got it done.

04:29.200 --> 04:36.200
So that's why it looks like it needs to do carpeting, because it does.

04:36.200 --> 04:38.200
So here we are.

04:38.200 --> 04:43.200
Like I said, I've been working on electrical stuff.

04:43.200 --> 04:45.200
Come on.

04:45.200 --> 04:56.200
I ain't going out there without this working.

04:57.200 --> 04:59.200
Do you want me back there?

04:59.200 --> 05:00.200
Yeah.

05:00.200 --> 05:02.200
Yeah, they're not allowed to sit up there.

05:02.200 --> 05:06.200
I don't care, but I don't care.

05:06.200 --> 05:15.200
I don't care about the game-warding load.

05:15.200 --> 05:19.200
And Dennis Jameson used to be the game-warding down here.

05:19.200 --> 05:22.200
Years ago.

05:22.200 --> 05:23.200
He probably helped me.

05:23.200 --> 05:25.200
He knew him all the time.

05:25.200 --> 05:28.200
He checked me every day.

05:28.200 --> 05:32.200
One of those deals.

05:32.200 --> 05:37.200
He said to me one day he was in the dark and he goes,

05:37.200 --> 05:41.200
I was watching you with a spotty in school, ball day.

05:41.200 --> 05:48.200
He says, I think you caught two more fishy were supposed to.

05:48.200 --> 05:52.200
I said, you do.

05:52.200 --> 05:55.200
He said, now Darryl, you know better than that, right?

05:55.200 --> 05:59.200
You're not supposed to be catching fish for other people, right?

05:59.200 --> 06:01.200
Even though you're guiding.

06:01.200 --> 06:03.200
You can't do that.

06:03.200 --> 06:05.200
I said, I know that.

06:05.200 --> 06:08.200
He says, so no matter what we're going to do about it,

06:08.200 --> 06:10.200
I said, well, I know what you're going to do about it.

06:10.200 --> 06:13.200
You're going to prove that I did that, because I did not.

06:13.200 --> 06:17.200
And I said, I have two witnesses that will testify that I didn't.

06:17.200 --> 06:19.200
Well, it sure looked like it to me.

06:19.200 --> 06:21.200
I was watching.

06:21.200 --> 06:24.200
And I said, well, I caught a couple of them.

06:24.200 --> 06:27.200
In fact, we caught 50 fish in there.

06:27.200 --> 06:30.200
Then they kept throwing back.

06:30.200 --> 06:35.200
I said, I kept fishing, because it's legal for me to keep fishing

06:35.200 --> 06:37.200
after I have five.

06:37.200 --> 06:40.200
But I was showing them back.

06:40.200 --> 06:46.200
Well, I'm giving you a warning.

06:46.200 --> 06:52.200
And it was just messing with me, pretty much.

06:52.200 --> 06:59.200
So I got a spot down here.

06:59.200 --> 07:05.200
When these fish come up in the fall, that they always stayed on.

07:05.200 --> 07:12.200
And when we got for water temperature, I'm afraid the luck is probably so warm.

07:12.200 --> 07:14.200
I can't see.

07:14.200 --> 07:16.200
It's a glare.

07:16.200 --> 07:20.200
And that's where I was.

07:20.200 --> 07:24.200
So that's where we're going.

07:24.200 --> 07:26.200
Because it's a good staging area.

07:26.200 --> 07:28.200
It's kind of hard to fish.

07:28.200 --> 07:30.200
A lot of guys don't fish it.

07:30.200 --> 07:35.200
Because the current's squirrely there.

07:35.200 --> 07:40.200
Looks like we got wind going to blow us upstream today.

07:41.200 --> 07:44.200
Man, I can't see that.

07:44.200 --> 07:46.200
I can't get this loose.

07:46.200 --> 07:48.200
I'm going to show up to you.

08:05.200 --> 08:07.200
Oh, put that in there.

08:07.200 --> 08:13.200
That's what we did.

08:13.200 --> 08:15.200
63.

08:15.200 --> 08:17.200
That's really warm.

08:17.200 --> 08:19.200
It should be 53 right now.

08:19.200 --> 08:20.200
Yeah.

08:20.200 --> 08:24.200
Well, Lisa's not 73.

08:24.200 --> 08:26.200
That was still 70 up there.

08:26.200 --> 08:28.200
Some of the lakes up north that we were on.

08:28.200 --> 08:29.200
Yeah, I get musky guys.

08:29.200 --> 08:31.200
We're really griping.

08:31.200 --> 08:33.200
And all my buddies are seeing this.

08:33.200 --> 08:34.200
The fish aren't going.

08:34.200 --> 08:36.200
Because the water's too warm.

08:36.200 --> 08:38.200
The glass it'll change.

08:38.200 --> 08:42.200
I'm not sure what this guy's doing.

08:42.200 --> 08:44.200
I'm just going to go around in here.

08:56.200 --> 08:59.200
I'm not going in there because I know it's about a foot deep.

09:05.200 --> 09:10.200
I was thinking about this spot, you know.

09:10.200 --> 09:12.200
All day, all night.

09:12.200 --> 09:15.200
I want to start on my best spot.

09:15.200 --> 09:19.200
That's usually a bad spot.

09:19.200 --> 09:21.200
And then I'd catch you there.

09:21.200 --> 09:24.200
And then if you don't, it's like, oh, man.

09:24.200 --> 09:25.200
You know.

09:25.200 --> 09:26.200
No.

09:26.200 --> 09:28.200
No, where we going?

09:35.200 --> 09:40.200
One thing about it is a good scenery.

09:40.200 --> 09:45.200
I was talking to my neighbor and he goes,

09:45.200 --> 09:48.200
this is how many fish you got to catch.

09:48.200 --> 09:51.200
I said, there's sort of a few.

09:51.200 --> 09:54.200
You just need a few fish.

09:54.200 --> 09:56.200
He said, well, you can do that.

09:56.200 --> 10:03.200
I go, I guess I could pretend I'm guiding today.

10:04.200 --> 10:07.200
That would help make me warm down and settle.

10:07.200 --> 10:10.200
It doesn't help when the camera guy goes,

10:10.200 --> 10:13.200
well, we just want to get some shots of you fishing.

10:13.200 --> 10:16.200
I'll catch you the fishing day, big deal.

10:16.200 --> 10:19.200
The producer goes, yeah, it is.

10:19.200 --> 10:22.200
It's a real big deal.

10:22.200 --> 10:31.200
You know, I won that Old Style National Wildlife Tournament here in 1988.

10:32.200 --> 10:41.200
I won a $7,000 boat, which was a lot of money back then.

10:41.200 --> 10:44.200
And I just bought it.

10:44.200 --> 10:45.200
So I sold it right away.

10:45.200 --> 10:49.200
Some guy offered, he said, I'll give you $7,000 for a second.

10:49.200 --> 10:51.200
Okay.

10:51.200 --> 10:56.200
I don't have to get the rest of the summer.

10:57.200 --> 11:00.200
This is what they call the High Lines.

11:00.200 --> 11:06.200
When you hear people talking about a fish going by the High Lines,

11:06.200 --> 11:10.200
obviously there are no actors, nobody down here.

11:10.200 --> 11:12.200
But we'll see.

11:12.200 --> 11:16.200
You know, fish got it moved in last night with the cold.

11:16.200 --> 11:19.200
They feel that temperature drop.

11:19.200 --> 11:25.200
The only bad thing is there's no, there's not a lot of current.

11:25.200 --> 11:29.200
They're not running much water to draw them out of Lake Wisconsin.

11:29.200 --> 11:34.200
But I've caught them there all summer.

11:34.200 --> 11:39.200
So normally I'm fishing 17 feet with the lower water,

11:39.200 --> 11:47.200
it's probably going to be more like 14, 15.

11:47.200 --> 11:50.200
We're going to hit either side of this puppy.

11:50.200 --> 11:55.200
It's going to find where the break is here.

11:55.200 --> 12:00.200
Oh, I should have done that.

12:00.200 --> 12:08.200
What the heck?

12:08.200 --> 12:09.200
All right.

12:09.200 --> 12:16.200
Well, I know where I'm at here, so.

12:16.200 --> 12:20.200
There's absolutely no current here.

12:20.200 --> 12:22.200
Wow.

12:22.200 --> 12:25.200
Usually you're racing down through here.

12:25.200 --> 12:29.200
I got all too heavy a jig's on.

12:29.200 --> 12:30.200
All right.

12:30.200 --> 12:34.200
Let's see what we got here.

12:47.200 --> 12:54.200
Awesome.

12:54.200 --> 12:56.200
Okay.

12:56.200 --> 13:01.200
So.

13:01.200 --> 13:05.200
So how good a jig fisherman do you think you are?

13:05.200 --> 13:08.200
Pretty good?

13:08.200 --> 13:13.200
Well, we primarily drink from jigs.

13:13.200 --> 13:14.200
Sure.

13:15.200 --> 13:16.200
Okay.

13:16.200 --> 13:18.200
Well, we're shallow enough here.

13:18.200 --> 13:24.200
I think this will work for you to find.

13:24.200 --> 13:25.200
I'll show you.

13:25.200 --> 13:30.200
We need to show you this once, right?

13:30.200 --> 13:34.200
Through the end of the mouth, side of the mouth,

13:34.200 --> 13:36.200
and just through the back of the head.

13:36.200 --> 13:39.200
Now, if you want, because there's no current to speak of,

13:39.200 --> 13:43.200
usually what we do with our dirty algae bloom

13:43.200 --> 13:46.200
is we drift this.

13:46.200 --> 13:48.200
There's some snakes here,

13:48.200 --> 13:51.200
and just vertical jig it.

13:51.200 --> 13:53.200
And knowing your land goes slack,

13:53.200 --> 13:54.200
you know, it's on the bottom.

13:54.200 --> 13:56.200
You've got a pretty light jig on here.

13:56.200 --> 13:58.200
If you want something heavier, you can do that.

13:58.200 --> 14:01.200
So you can do that if you want,

14:01.200 --> 14:06.200
or you can cast and retrieve it if you want.

14:06.200 --> 14:09.200
It's entirely up to you.

14:09.200 --> 14:12.200
We're probably going to make several passes through here.

14:13.200 --> 14:15.200
So, you can just jig it.

14:15.200 --> 14:16.200
Kind of like that.

14:16.200 --> 14:18.200
Let it drop.

14:18.200 --> 14:19.200
Swim it.

14:19.200 --> 14:20.200
Let it drop.

14:20.200 --> 14:22.200
The land goes slack.

14:22.200 --> 14:23.200
Swim it.

14:23.200 --> 14:24.200
Let it drop.

14:24.200 --> 14:29.200
So, that should work for you.

14:29.200 --> 14:31.200
If, like I said,

14:31.200 --> 14:33.200
if you're not feeling the bottom good,

14:33.200 --> 14:36.200
and other times, you know,

14:36.200 --> 14:39.200
I thump it to where they'll just smoke it.

14:40.200 --> 14:42.200
And then other times,

14:42.200 --> 14:44.200
they'll just be hanging there.

14:44.200 --> 14:49.200
Soggers especially.

14:49.200 --> 14:50.200
Which I'm going to ask you to do.

14:50.200 --> 14:53.200
Soggers count.

14:53.200 --> 14:57.200
We can make them count.

14:57.200 --> 15:00.200
They're just a cousin of a walleye, right?

15:00.200 --> 15:04.200
I don't like how slow this current is here.

15:04.200 --> 15:07.200
Well, we're coming right down it.

15:07.200 --> 15:10.200
Perfect.

15:10.200 --> 15:16.200
This runs this water as we can fish this pretty aggressively.

15:16.200 --> 15:19.200
I mean, these fish ought to be,

15:19.200 --> 15:21.200
they see something come through the water.

15:21.200 --> 15:25.200
They ought to just hammer it.

15:25.200 --> 15:28.200
They just want to get a little deeper.

15:28.200 --> 15:33.200
11 feet here.

15:34.200 --> 15:41.200
Now, well, this is normally considerably deeper than this.

15:41.200 --> 15:44.200
It's ridiculous that the current,

15:44.200 --> 15:47.200
the wind is actually blowing us against the current,

15:47.200 --> 15:54.200
which just don't ever happen.

15:54.200 --> 15:58.200
Get 12.

15:58.200 --> 16:02.200
So as we get deeper, it's going to be

16:02.200 --> 16:06.200
a little,

16:06.200 --> 16:11.200
I'm eyeballing those geese thinking about my goose hunting.

16:11.200 --> 16:15.200
As we get deeper,

16:15.200 --> 16:18.200
we may have to go in a little heavier jig.

16:18.200 --> 16:21.200
We're going to make sure that I learned 14,

16:21.200 --> 16:26.200
that you just let out more line.

16:29.200 --> 16:32.200
Oh, come on.

16:32.200 --> 16:36.200
This is the spot.

16:36.200 --> 16:44.200
This is the spot.

16:44.200 --> 16:48.200
I mean, there's not even a current breakdown here.

16:48.200 --> 16:52.200
It's just more like a flat, you know.

16:52.200 --> 16:55.200
Usually it's just rolling over here.

16:55.200 --> 17:01.200
We get down a little with my blind.

17:01.200 --> 17:02.200
Okay.

17:02.200 --> 17:03.200
Yeah.

17:03.200 --> 17:05.200
When we get down here a little bit further,

17:05.200 --> 17:09.200
you see that buoy in the middle of the river?

17:09.200 --> 17:10.200
That's a rock.

17:10.200 --> 17:15.200
It starts to turn in a rock down there.

17:15.200 --> 17:24.200
They may be on the rocks, but that's usually later.

17:24.200 --> 17:30.200
We may have to go up toward the dam or where there's more current.

17:30.200 --> 17:32.200
This is a huge staging area.

17:32.200 --> 17:39.200
I mean, almost every fish that moves up the river stops here.

17:39.200 --> 17:44.200
How long have you been fishing this stretch?

17:44.200 --> 17:49.200
Since 1982,

17:49.200 --> 17:54.200
I started guiding here.

17:54.200 --> 18:10.200
Okay, so let me just nut.

18:10.200 --> 18:14.200
Don't tap me.

18:14.200 --> 18:21.200
I was guiding a couple of guys down on the Fox River one fall early November.

18:21.200 --> 18:25.200
Might have been late October.

18:25.200 --> 18:31.200
And one of the guys goes, there's a goose over there on the shore.

18:31.200 --> 18:32.200
I go where?

18:32.200 --> 18:34.200
It's just right there.

18:34.200 --> 18:38.200
Well, I figured it wasn't a place a goose should be,

18:38.200 --> 18:41.200
so I figured it was wounded, you know.

18:41.200 --> 18:43.200
So I eased up.

18:43.200 --> 18:46.200
Where are you guys? They're not out here.

18:46.200 --> 18:55.200
Not yet. I'm not seeing anything on the graph either.

18:55.200 --> 18:58.200
I got to get that bomb on the graph working.

18:58.200 --> 19:04.200
That's the one we're taking up north.

19:04.200 --> 19:08.200
I don't know why this is always works.

19:08.200 --> 19:11.200
I don't know why it's not working today,

19:11.200 --> 19:16.200
but it isn't like it's, I don't know,

19:16.200 --> 19:23.200
it's wet or something.

19:23.200 --> 19:28.200
Oh, come on.

19:39.200 --> 19:45.200
It's just having hit those rocks yet.

19:45.200 --> 19:50.200
That's the...

19:50.200 --> 19:55.200
that might help.

19:55.200 --> 20:00.200
So very little currents.

20:09.200 --> 20:12.200
14.

20:12.200 --> 20:14.200
15 feet.

20:14.200 --> 20:18.200
Boy, they should be here.

20:18.200 --> 20:23.200
This would normally be or 17 feet.

20:39.200 --> 20:48.200
I'm going to screw this across here.

20:48.200 --> 20:55.200
Well, they weren't off the brake, so I'm going to move this

20:55.200 --> 20:57.200
a little bit here.

20:57.200 --> 21:00.200
Okay.

21:01.200 --> 21:10.200
It should be nice to look at that graph and see some fish.

21:10.200 --> 21:18.200
This one is over here.

21:18.200 --> 21:35.200
I said, if I find an area with some fish,

21:35.200 --> 21:37.200
I'll tell you where they are.

21:37.200 --> 21:41.200
You can come and fish them.

21:41.200 --> 21:45.200
I said, we're hoping to catch a few fish.

21:46.200 --> 21:50.200
Okay, so that's really shallow over there.

21:50.200 --> 22:01.200
I think I want to keep us out of that.

22:01.200 --> 22:05.200
Now you can kind of see the rock on the shore there.

22:05.200 --> 22:08.200
Then it comes all the way out to that buoy.

22:08.200 --> 22:14.200
Almost like a wing dam.

22:15.200 --> 22:18.200
That's where they put the ducks in right there.

22:18.200 --> 22:22.200
I wonder if they didn't put a wing dam in there.

22:35.200 --> 22:38.200
See, right now I'm saying to myself, I'm glad I'm not

22:38.200 --> 22:41.200
guiding out here.

22:42.200 --> 22:52.200
Well, I know there's walleyes in there all summer.

22:52.200 --> 22:54.200
There's a trip.

22:54.200 --> 22:57.200
Come down here in the summer when they're doing water ski

22:57.200 --> 23:01.200
shows and they're running the ducks up and down through

23:01.200 --> 23:04.200
here and somebody wants to hire you to fish.

23:04.200 --> 23:08.200
I'm like, oh man.

23:08.200 --> 23:14.200
I could always try to not do that.

23:14.200 --> 23:17.200
I didn't guide much in the summer anyway when I was

23:17.200 --> 23:20.200
turning with fish and it just didn't have time.

23:20.200 --> 23:24.200
Wasn't here.

23:24.200 --> 23:26.200
Fall.

23:26.200 --> 23:27.200
Spring.

23:27.200 --> 23:34.200
Now we're right on the break now again.

23:34.200 --> 23:39.200
There's some, finally, there's some fish right there.

23:45.200 --> 23:48.200
No, they can't fish.

23:52.200 --> 23:56.200
Right off the edge, just like they're supposed to be.

23:56.200 --> 23:57.200
Huh.

23:57.200 --> 23:59.200
I wonder what those were.

23:59.200 --> 24:02.200
Whatever they were, they don't eat minnows.

24:02.200 --> 24:06.200
Evidently, you know.

24:06.200 --> 24:08.200
Usually you see four fish in a spot.

24:08.200 --> 24:11.200
Water was going to bite.

24:17.200 --> 24:23.200
Oh, there was a little tap.

24:24.200 --> 24:32.200
I am one of the eight inch saugars.

24:39.200 --> 24:40.200
Hmm.

24:40.200 --> 24:43.200
But it couldn't be better on this spot here.

24:43.200 --> 24:45.200
Little bird.

24:46.200 --> 24:53.200
Well.

24:59.200 --> 25:04.200
It all looks tasty.

25:04.200 --> 25:07.200
Notice we picked up speed a little now.

25:07.200 --> 25:08.200
It's just good.

25:08.200 --> 25:13.200
It's got a little more current.

25:15.200 --> 25:20.200
There we go.

25:20.200 --> 25:45.200
Oh, there he was.

25:46.200 --> 25:51.200
Missed that one.

25:55.200 --> 25:57.200
Yeah.

25:57.200 --> 25:58.200
I don't know.

25:58.200 --> 26:01.200
There's no mark on the middle tooth barks or anything.

26:01.200 --> 26:06.200
It's just supposed to be.

26:08.200 --> 26:13.200
We got some fish down here.

26:16.200 --> 26:23.200
Come on, guys.

26:27.200 --> 26:32.200
It didn't feel like a decent fish.

26:32.200 --> 26:36.200
Small.

26:37.200 --> 26:47.200
This little water is going to keep us from going downstream any further.

26:47.200 --> 26:51.200
Because it gets all boulders and rocks down there.

26:51.200 --> 26:55.200
In the spring, in the high water, you can motor over them.

27:06.200 --> 27:11.200
Oh, there he is.

27:28.200 --> 27:31.200
These guys are telling the guys over there.

27:31.200 --> 27:36.200
They're telling those guys don't get too close to that boat.

27:36.200 --> 27:43.200
They got me out of a gun in there.

27:43.200 --> 27:50.200
All right.

27:50.200 --> 27:52.200
Yeah.

27:52.200 --> 27:55.200
Miss worked this a little more.

27:55.200 --> 28:00.200
We got it all day, right?

28:00.200 --> 28:05.200
We got it all day.

28:24.200 --> 28:27.200
We used to mark and more stuff down here.

28:27.200 --> 28:32.200
From when we first started.

28:37.200 --> 28:42.200
I'm not sure what kind of fish they are, but...

28:42.200 --> 28:52.200
There's no low, low, low, low.

28:52.200 --> 28:59.200
There's no low, low, low, low.

28:59.200 --> 29:04.200
Got them in more current, slowing current.

29:21.200 --> 29:26.200
We'll be down there.

29:26.200 --> 29:31.200
It's only perfect of this fish in it.

29:56.200 --> 30:01.200
63 degrees.

30:01.200 --> 30:07.200
We're making that noise.

30:07.200 --> 30:10.200
You are.

30:10.200 --> 30:15.200
That would be crazy.

30:15.200 --> 30:19.200
Yeah, we can work down that thing perfect.

30:19.200 --> 30:24.200
Well, okay.

30:24.200 --> 30:29.200
There's a real nice fish back there.

30:38.200 --> 30:41.200
There's just not a lot of fish here, guys.

30:41.200 --> 30:51.200
We're seeing one in here and one there, but...

30:56.200 --> 30:59.200
Take us in this inside cut here.

30:59.200 --> 31:08.200
We'll take it up, bring it back so we get...

31:08.200 --> 31:11.200
Let's see some fish here.

31:11.200 --> 31:13.200
Yeah, look at that graph in front.

31:13.200 --> 31:18.200
I mean, that's as bare as a bear can get.

31:18.200 --> 31:22.200
It starts dropping off again towards shore here.

31:22.200 --> 31:25.200
I thought it'd bring us inside of this.

31:25.200 --> 31:30.200
Sometimes they do cut into these shoreline cuts.

31:30.200 --> 31:35.200
We're in the spring and fall.

31:38.200 --> 31:42.200
It's only behind us there was some fish, so...

31:42.200 --> 31:47.200
There's some here too, right off of this break.

31:48.200 --> 32:11.200
Well, there's a crazy lot of bait fish right here.

32:11.200 --> 32:16.200
Look in the bottom there.

32:16.200 --> 32:34.200
Ooh, rock.

32:34.200 --> 32:37.200
My first rock bite.

32:37.200 --> 32:40.200
I knew it didn't feel right.

32:40.200 --> 32:45.200
I didn't like that jig anyway.

32:45.200 --> 32:48.200
I felt that thing go right in between two rocks.

32:48.200 --> 32:55.200
I'm getting that out.

32:55.200 --> 33:00.200
Welcome to the Wisconsin River.

33:00.200 --> 33:05.200
Yeah.

33:05.200 --> 33:15.200
I only got five other rods here I could use, but...

33:15.200 --> 33:24.200
I kind of like this one.

33:24.200 --> 33:34.200
Ooh, ooh.

33:54.200 --> 34:13.200
He's a champ.

34:13.200 --> 34:15.200
Oh, here we got a nice sunny day.

34:15.200 --> 34:16.200
Oh, beautiful.

34:16.200 --> 34:21.200
These guys...

34:21.200 --> 34:23.200
A little bit of color in the trees.

34:23.200 --> 34:25.200
Tucker grabbed it and let it go on it.

34:25.200 --> 34:26.200
That ain't...

34:26.200 --> 34:29.200
That's got to be a sheep pet or something.

34:29.200 --> 34:32.200
Well, I just don't do that.

34:32.200 --> 34:39.200
Especially vertical jiggle when they hit it, they thump it.

34:39.200 --> 34:42.200
Look how he rotted that is.

34:42.200 --> 34:45.200
And how high is he rotted?

34:45.200 --> 34:48.200
I mean, how high does he...

34:48.200 --> 34:53.200
He's insane.

34:53.200 --> 34:56.200
That is insane.

34:56.200 --> 34:58.200
I'm sure you've seen some of the photos from the upper delts,

34:58.200 --> 35:00.200
like all those caves and caverns back there.

35:00.200 --> 35:01.200
Yeah.

35:01.200 --> 35:03.200
Like the H.H. Bennett stuff.

35:03.200 --> 35:15.200
That's crazy.

35:15.200 --> 35:22.200
Okay, I'm gonna get us. I'm gonna move us.

35:22.200 --> 35:26.200
Yeah.

35:26.200 --> 35:36.200
For a wee...

35:36.200 --> 35:39.200
For a wee crash in on a rock pile.

35:39.200 --> 35:43.200
Looks like a guy in a boat.

35:43.200 --> 35:46.200
It shows how good the bait is by the dam.

35:46.200 --> 35:48.200
Yeah, that guy's guiding.

35:48.200 --> 35:51.200
The guy has been a wife.

35:51.200 --> 35:53.200
Looks like...

35:53.200 --> 36:00.200
I should have gone tell him there's no fish there.

36:00.200 --> 36:02.200
Well, if there were anything like me,

36:02.200 --> 36:06.200
they'd be trying to get away from the crowd, you know?

36:07.200 --> 36:10.200
Uh...

36:10.200 --> 36:22.200
Well, I'm actually on the Wisconsin River trying to catch something beside the sheephead.

36:22.200 --> 36:26.200
At the delts.

36:26.200 --> 36:33.200
I don't know.

36:33.200 --> 36:36.200
I call the state guard.

36:36.200 --> 36:38.200
We just need to find out our car.

36:38.200 --> 36:41.200
The state guard, we just need to go right there.

36:41.200 --> 36:43.200
We just need to find the grass there.

36:43.200 --> 36:44.200
Okay.

36:44.200 --> 36:47.200
But I didn't have any ever ready to go look for a rock and call,

36:47.200 --> 36:48.200
but you could knock it in.

36:48.200 --> 36:50.200
Or you could go at all.

36:50.200 --> 36:52.200
And the nature of the land is there.

36:52.200 --> 36:55.200
You can call it in.

36:55.200 --> 36:56.200
Right, sir.

36:56.200 --> 36:57.200
Sir.

36:57.200 --> 36:58.200
All right.

36:58.200 --> 36:59.200
Thank you.

36:59.200 --> 37:01.200
I think the ramp is just together.

37:01.200 --> 37:03.200
I think it's just for yourself.

37:03.200 --> 37:05.200
I think I'm on the campus.

37:05.200 --> 37:06.200
There you go.

37:06.200 --> 37:07.200
There you go.

37:07.200 --> 37:08.200
Yep.

37:08.200 --> 37:09.200
Oh, I need to go over to the center now.

37:09.200 --> 37:10.200
No.

37:10.200 --> 37:12.200
I call the center now together.

37:12.200 --> 37:14.200
If I am dancing in a bar,

37:14.200 --> 37:15.200
I'm off.

37:15.200 --> 37:16.200
We're all on Friday.

37:16.200 --> 37:17.200
I'm starting to hear one.

37:17.200 --> 37:18.200
Uh...

37:18.200 --> 37:20.200
I'm dancing in a bar when we go.

37:20.200 --> 37:21.200
Uh...

37:21.200 --> 37:22.200
Okay.

37:22.200 --> 37:25.200
I think your letter is not true.

37:25.200 --> 37:27.200
No, I'm working all day tomorrow.

37:27.200 --> 37:30.200
Because I want to get everything done before I head up north.

37:31.200 --> 37:32.200
So...

37:41.200 --> 37:45.200
Five feet and another six feet.

37:51.200 --> 37:52.200
Yeah.

37:52.200 --> 37:53.200
Yes?

38:01.200 --> 38:02.200
Right.

38:02.200 --> 38:05.200
Well, what we really need is some rock.

38:05.200 --> 38:07.200
Some big rock.

38:07.200 --> 38:10.200
Or something to keep it from washing out.

38:10.200 --> 38:11.200
Is this...

38:11.200 --> 38:12.200
We just got a thing in through.

38:12.200 --> 38:13.200
I have an inspection.

38:13.200 --> 38:14.200
I have an inspection.

38:14.200 --> 38:15.200
I have an inspection.

38:15.200 --> 38:16.200
I have an inspection.

38:16.200 --> 38:17.200
It was the AMP.

38:17.200 --> 38:18.200
Right.

38:18.200 --> 38:19.200
And they've already pre-infected.

38:19.200 --> 38:20.200
Because it needs to be done.

38:20.200 --> 38:21.200
Yeah.

38:21.200 --> 38:23.200
I've got to last this wall.

38:23.200 --> 38:24.200
Okay.

38:24.200 --> 38:25.200
Uh...

38:25.200 --> 38:26.200
Because roughly...

38:27.200 --> 38:28.200
Uh...

38:28.200 --> 38:29.200
Uh...

38:29.200 --> 38:30.200
Uh...

38:30.200 --> 38:31.200
Uh...

38:31.200 --> 38:32.200
Uh...

38:32.200 --> 38:33.200
Uh...

38:33.200 --> 38:34.200
Right.

38:34.200 --> 38:36.200
I mean, any time he gets, you know, he wants...

38:36.200 --> 38:37.200
That he was good for him.

38:37.200 --> 38:38.200
Because I plan...

38:38.200 --> 38:39.200
Yeah.

38:39.200 --> 38:40.200
Yeah.

38:40.200 --> 38:41.200
Yeah.

38:41.200 --> 38:49.200
I'm trying to finish up a PBS special.

38:49.200 --> 38:55.200
Well, we're actually trying to finish up a PBS special.

38:56.200 --> 38:58.200
And, uh...

38:58.200 --> 39:00.200
And it's not...

39:00.200 --> 39:02.200
Everything's been great so far.

39:02.200 --> 39:03.200
Lots of wildlife.

39:03.200 --> 39:05.200
Beautiful blue sky.

39:05.200 --> 39:06.200
Colors.

39:06.200 --> 39:07.200
Trees.

39:07.200 --> 39:08.200
Uh...

39:08.200 --> 39:12.200
No people to speak of.

39:12.200 --> 39:13.200
Yeah.

39:13.200 --> 39:15.200
The only thing we need now is some fish.

39:19.200 --> 39:21.200
He hit that right on the head.

39:21.200 --> 39:22.200
Yeah.

39:22.200 --> 39:23.200
There's no...

39:23.200 --> 39:24.200
There's probably no fish.

39:24.200 --> 39:25.200
There's probably no fish.

39:25.200 --> 39:26.200
That's why there's no people.

39:26.200 --> 39:27.200
Yeah.

39:27.200 --> 39:28.200
Yeah.

39:28.200 --> 39:29.200
Yeah.

39:29.200 --> 39:30.200
Hey.

39:30.200 --> 39:35.200
Well, part of all day.

39:35.200 --> 39:39.200
Got a DNR.

39:39.200 --> 39:41.200
There we go.

39:41.200 --> 39:42.200
Got a...

39:42.200 --> 39:45.200
Yeah, that was definitely a guide.

39:45.200 --> 39:47.200
He went down, went around a corner.

39:47.200 --> 39:52.200
Probably graphed it, looked around, said there's nothing there to see good.

39:53.200 --> 39:56.200
They shouldn't fish or, if they didn't, they'd fish it really fast.

39:56.200 --> 39:58.200
Didn't get bitten.

39:58.200 --> 39:59.200
He went all the way up to the boat launch.

39:59.200 --> 40:02.200
I knew I'd see what's coming up in just a couple seconds.

40:02.200 --> 40:05.200
I know I'd just see what's coming up.

40:05.200 --> 40:09.200
Well, it's that time of year, guys.

40:09.200 --> 40:14.200
You know, on the normal fall, like, back when I got in here, this would have been fine.

40:14.200 --> 40:16.200
This would have been good.

40:16.200 --> 40:18.200
He got there.

40:22.200 --> 40:29.200
Private beach.

40:29.200 --> 40:32.200
Yeah.

40:32.200 --> 40:51.200
Yeah, yeah, this is really, yeah.

40:52.200 --> 40:55.200
Really telling you how to fish in this upriver.

40:55.200 --> 41:03.200
When you see everybody coming down at 11.30 down stream.

41:03.200 --> 41:09.200
Well, if they see it, it'd be nice.

41:09.200 --> 41:13.200
So right next to this, this river's edge resort.

41:13.200 --> 41:17.200
So I guided out of there, and there's your boat landing.

41:17.200 --> 41:24.200
And it got so crazy when this got so popular that that was the only ramp.

41:24.200 --> 41:27.200
And it was private.

41:27.200 --> 41:35.200
And then this guy next door, Cedar Lodge, he put a ramp in because he could charge people a lot.

41:35.200 --> 41:38.200
And so this public launch was not here.

41:38.200 --> 41:41.200
It was just those two private launches.

41:41.200 --> 41:44.200
And people always grabbed because they charged so much.

41:44.200 --> 41:47.200
It's a delve.

41:47.200 --> 41:50.200
Look at the fish in here, guys.

41:50.200 --> 41:56.200
16, 17 feet.

41:56.200 --> 42:02.200
This is one of the spots I always would like to drift.

42:02.200 --> 42:06.200
Wow.

42:06.200 --> 42:13.200
I'm not seeing their walleyes, but we better fish them.

42:14.200 --> 42:16.200
I'm still marking them.

42:16.200 --> 42:18.200
As long as I'm marking them, I'm going to keep going.

42:18.200 --> 42:25.200
I will drift her back.

42:25.200 --> 42:26.200
OK.

42:26.200 --> 42:28.200
Let's sketch them right here.

42:28.200 --> 42:30.200
Let's do it.

42:30.200 --> 42:33.200
Right here.

42:33.200 --> 42:59.200
We are in mega windstone on here.

42:59.200 --> 43:08.200
It's stronger than the current.

43:08.200 --> 43:12.200
I'm going to first drift through here.

43:12.200 --> 43:13.200
That's all right.

43:13.200 --> 43:24.200
That's a work.

43:24.200 --> 43:32.200
Holy moly.

43:32.200 --> 43:42.200
I have some wind.

43:42.200 --> 43:51.200
Packing on my minnow down there is a little guy.

43:51.200 --> 43:58.200
Tap, tap, tap.

43:58.200 --> 44:00.200
Some of those fish weren't little.

44:00.200 --> 44:03.200
They are pretty good looking size fish.

44:03.200 --> 44:13.200
I'm going to get a centider.

44:13.200 --> 44:14.200
There is actually a current here.

44:14.200 --> 44:20.200
You just can't tell that the wind is pushing us back.

44:20.200 --> 44:25.200
Come on, bite that.

44:25.200 --> 44:32.200
That's got to be sheep head.

44:32.200 --> 44:35.200
Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.

44:35.200 --> 44:41.200
The sheep are trying to get that minnow in a little tiny mouth.

44:51.200 --> 44:56.200
Oh, man, did he drill that.

44:56.200 --> 44:59.200
I don't know if that was a sheep head.

44:59.200 --> 45:01.200
He got the minnow.

45:01.200 --> 45:06.200
That fish is hammered that minnow.

45:06.200 --> 45:08.200
That's more like it.

45:08.200 --> 45:11.200
It wasn't much like a walleye plate.

45:11.200 --> 45:16.200
I don't know what it was, but man, he drill that.

45:16.200 --> 45:22.200
Well, it's a really good bite I've had.

45:22.200 --> 45:27.200
They just pasted it.

45:27.200 --> 45:35.200
I thought I had that fish.

45:35.200 --> 45:40.200
Oh, yeah, you fish were those fishy good bites.

45:40.200 --> 45:50.200
I might down below there.

45:50.200 --> 46:03.200
That could have been a little smally too.

46:03.200 --> 46:06.200
Looks like the guide's done for the day.

46:06.200 --> 46:13.200
Pulling his boat out.

46:13.200 --> 46:15.200
Rivers, Edgies, the right bike.

46:15.200 --> 46:18.200
I tell stories about that place.

46:18.200 --> 46:24.200
I'm not going, but I could.

46:24.200 --> 46:31.200
Oh, that was a different person on those days.

46:31.200 --> 46:46.200
A lot younger.

46:46.200 --> 47:15.200
Oh, man, who's are those?

47:15.200 --> 47:20.200
A little walleye or a sauger, because there ain't a mark on that minnow.

47:20.200 --> 47:29.200
But whatever grabbed that other minnow ripped it off of there, real well.

47:29.200 --> 47:58.200
This would have more like a sheep bite.

47:58.200 --> 48:06.200
Right tight to that 12 to 15 foot break.

48:06.200 --> 48:11.200
That was supposed to be.

48:11.200 --> 48:15.200
All right.

48:15.200 --> 48:21.200
I think it's worth it to make another drift through there.

48:21.200 --> 48:36.200
I don't think it was a sheep, as hard as it hit.

48:36.200 --> 48:42.200
Look at them down here.

48:42.200 --> 48:49.200
Those are biters right on the bottom like that.

48:49.200 --> 48:57.200
Look at them there.

48:57.200 --> 49:04.200
Big wad of fish right there.

49:04.200 --> 49:07.200
I try to keep us in it.

49:07.200 --> 49:18.200
I think I can fish this cleaner by facing the shore with this wind.

49:18.200 --> 49:24.200
Let's see.

49:24.200 --> 49:35.200
Maybe.

49:35.200 --> 49:58.200
It's definitely the best group of fish I've seen.

49:58.200 --> 50:13.200
I was just as much current.

50:13.200 --> 50:42.200
I'm just as much current as I've seen.

50:42.200 --> 51:07.200
A rock bite.

51:07.200 --> 51:25.200
A jack is up here.

51:25.200 --> 51:50.200
A jack is up here.

51:50.200 --> 52:13.200
A jack is up here.

52:13.200 --> 52:33.200
A jack is up here.

52:33.200 --> 52:45.200
You get her out.

52:45.200 --> 52:57.200
Well, that duck opened up that spot.

52:57.200 --> 53:04.200
You know, that don't bother those fish.

53:04.200 --> 53:16.200
You may have to go across and make a drift through there.

53:16.200 --> 53:24.200
Here we go, Zach. This is a drift.

53:24.200 --> 53:28.200
I think we're out of here.

53:28.200 --> 53:33.200
The wind died down.

53:33.200 --> 53:40.200
The perfect wind drift was like that.

53:40.200 --> 53:47.200
Something hanging on there wasn't a fish.

53:47.200 --> 54:15.200
Oh, you got the big rock.

54:15.200 --> 54:30.200
A jack is up here.

54:30.200 --> 54:56.200
Get you above it, if I can.

54:56.200 --> 55:00.200
Perfect.

55:00.200 --> 55:13.200
I got a lot of rock before you get the rock, but it don't always happen.

55:13.200 --> 55:18.200
Here we go.

55:18.200 --> 55:22.200
How long dies where are you?

55:22.200 --> 55:27.200
What happened to that fish that hammered me?

55:27.200 --> 55:52.200
I came back.

55:52.200 --> 55:56.200
There he is.

55:56.200 --> 56:00.200
What is that?

56:00.200 --> 56:05.200
How do they grab it and let go?

56:05.200 --> 56:16.200
There he is.

56:16.200 --> 56:37.200
Little guys.

56:37.200 --> 56:47.200
There's a little guys.

57:07.200 --> 57:20.200
There he is.

57:20.200 --> 57:33.200
There he is.

57:33.200 --> 57:58.200
There he is.

57:58.200 --> 58:23.200
That was a better fish.

58:23.200 --> 58:28.200
Definitely a better fish.

58:28.200 --> 58:35.200
What is going on here?

58:35.200 --> 58:40.200
Did that rod tip bend?

58:40.200 --> 58:43.200
I might say that was a walleye.

58:43.200 --> 58:50.200
It could have been a sheepie.

58:50.200 --> 58:54.200
I don't know if that fish would come back.

58:54.200 --> 59:04.200
I think I might have turned him inside out with a hook set.

59:04.200 --> 59:28.200
Kind of in the same area I had that bite before.

59:28.200 --> 59:33.200
I hated that when it happened in a tournament.

59:33.200 --> 59:43.200
Especially when the bite isn't good and every bite is so important.

59:58.200 --> 01:00:14.200
Now we are out of the zone.

01:00:14.200 --> 01:00:21.200
There he is.

01:00:21.200 --> 01:00:29.200
Look like it.

01:00:29.200 --> 01:00:37.200
There is one coming up.

01:00:37.200 --> 01:00:43.200
What is that?

01:00:43.200 --> 01:01:00.200
I don't know what it is.

01:01:00.200 --> 01:01:03.200
Big cat.

01:01:03.200 --> 01:01:19.200
I'm going to have a horse.

01:01:19.200 --> 01:01:26.200
Why do they grab this reel?

01:01:26.200 --> 01:01:33.200
That's a cat.

01:01:33.200 --> 01:01:38.200
I'm sure it's a cat, probably a big flathead.

01:01:38.200 --> 01:01:46.200
All of the fish we are marking as a cat.

01:01:46.200 --> 01:01:51.200
A whiskered walleye.

01:01:51.200 --> 01:01:56.200
It is a flathead.

01:01:56.200 --> 01:02:06.200
Man, run.

01:02:06.200 --> 01:02:09.200
Look at that.

01:02:09.200 --> 01:02:14.200
They call it a whiskered walleye.

01:02:14.200 --> 01:02:19.200
People at officials eat them, say they are better taste than walleyes.

01:02:19.200 --> 01:02:24.200
Seriously.

01:02:24.200 --> 01:02:27.200
It's a nice little cat.

01:02:27.200 --> 01:02:33.200
But it's not what we are looking for.

01:02:33.200 --> 01:02:37.200
There you go.

01:02:37.200 --> 01:02:46.200
Now, for what it's worth, flatheads and walleyes do hang out together.

01:02:46.200 --> 01:03:00.200
We may want to fish this past another drift.

01:03:00.200 --> 01:03:02.200
Hey, it's the right thing.

01:03:02.200 --> 01:03:04.200
It's a sauger.

01:03:04.200 --> 01:03:08.200
Look at this.

01:03:08.200 --> 01:03:10.200
I'm telling you.

01:03:10.200 --> 01:03:15.200
Fish located don't lie.

01:03:15.200 --> 01:03:20.200
Give us our biology.

01:03:20.200 --> 01:03:22.200
It's a really nice sauger.

01:03:22.200 --> 01:03:26.200
You can tell the difference with seal spots on the dorsal fin.

01:03:26.200 --> 01:03:29.200
Now, that tells you it's a sauger instead of a walleye.

01:03:29.200 --> 01:03:30.200
Plus it's brown.

01:03:30.200 --> 01:03:32.200
It's a green.

01:03:32.200 --> 01:03:38.200
I know some walleyes are brown in real dark water, but they are always that color.

01:03:38.200 --> 01:03:41.200
And then you don't see the big white tip on the tail.

01:03:41.200 --> 01:03:42.200
Like a walleye has.

01:03:42.200 --> 01:03:46.200
Just have a little sliver of white.

01:03:46.200 --> 01:03:48.200
That's a pretty sauger.

01:03:48.200 --> 01:03:50.200
That's actually a nice sauger.

01:03:50.200 --> 01:03:55.200
They do get four or five pounds in here.

01:03:55.200 --> 01:03:56.200
Not a lot of them.

01:03:56.200 --> 01:03:59.200
Usually two or three pounders are a really good one.

01:03:59.200 --> 01:04:00.200
That's a good one.

01:04:00.200 --> 01:04:01.200
That's a keeper.

01:04:01.200 --> 01:04:02.200
Maybe.

01:04:02.200 --> 01:04:05.200
Let's find out.

01:04:05.200 --> 01:04:10.200
They've got to be 15 inches down here.

01:04:10.200 --> 01:04:12.200
Not that we're going to keep it.

01:04:12.200 --> 01:04:18.200
See if we caught all the eagle size fish today.

01:04:18.200 --> 01:04:23.200
Somewhere in my basement here.

01:04:24.200 --> 01:04:30.200
Yeah, I bet he's 14 and a half.

01:04:30.200 --> 01:04:32.200
No, he's just 14.

01:04:32.200 --> 01:04:34.200
Still, nice sauger.

01:04:34.200 --> 01:04:41.200
So in the past, they didn't have a size number on these fish in here.

01:04:41.200 --> 01:04:48.200
And of course, with all the fishing pressure, you think about, there was nothing to catch

01:04:48.200 --> 01:04:52.200
15 of these three guys who wanted to catch 15.

01:04:52.200 --> 01:04:56.200
Well, they got smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller.

01:04:56.200 --> 01:05:01.200
And the guides and the people here said, you know, there's a hammer in this resource.

01:05:01.200 --> 01:05:04.200
There's 50 incense on walleyes.

01:05:04.200 --> 01:05:10.200
And now it's 15 to 20 inches, but only three.

01:05:10.200 --> 01:05:15.200
And then the next one you can keep has to be over 28.

01:05:15.200 --> 01:05:18.200
So you're looking at a 9.10 pound fish.

01:05:18.200 --> 01:05:19.200
Trophy fish.

01:05:19.200 --> 01:05:21.200
So that's good.

01:05:21.200 --> 01:05:26.200
So there aren't a lot of walleyes in that four or five or six pound range.

01:05:26.200 --> 01:05:30.200
Another couple of weeks they'll be up here.

01:05:30.200 --> 01:05:32.200
But hey, that's a nice one.

01:05:32.200 --> 01:05:37.200
Let it go.

01:05:37.200 --> 01:05:38.200
All right.

01:05:38.200 --> 01:05:39.200
You know what?

01:05:39.200 --> 01:05:41.200
We better drift that again.

01:05:41.200 --> 01:05:44.200
Oh, I got one on here.

01:05:44.200 --> 01:05:47.200
What's this little guy?

01:05:47.200 --> 01:05:48.200
Are you here?

01:05:48.200 --> 01:05:53.200
Another sauger.

01:05:53.200 --> 01:05:55.200
They're long, you know.

01:05:55.200 --> 01:05:58.200
They're not as chunky as a walleye.

01:05:58.200 --> 01:06:00.200
Real long fish.

01:06:00.200 --> 01:06:03.200
But yeah, they're fun to catch.

01:06:03.200 --> 01:06:08.200
I mean, they're more aggressive.

01:06:08.200 --> 01:06:13.200
Yeah, in tournament competition we fish a lot of real dirty stained water saugars like

01:06:13.200 --> 01:06:14.200
that.

01:06:14.200 --> 01:06:15.200
Yeah.

01:06:15.200 --> 01:06:16.200
Very cool.

01:06:16.200 --> 01:06:17.200
That's a good healthy man.

01:06:17.200 --> 01:06:19.200
It's good to see these in here.

01:06:19.200 --> 01:06:24.200
Good future of fishing in this river.

01:06:24.200 --> 01:06:26.200
Want to make another pass?

01:06:26.200 --> 01:06:28.200
Sure.

01:06:28.200 --> 01:06:31.200
I thought you might.

01:06:31.200 --> 01:06:32.200
I sure do.

01:06:32.200 --> 01:06:33.200
Something to do a lot of that.

01:06:33.200 --> 01:06:37.200
Something to do out of the boat.

01:06:37.200 --> 01:06:39.200
What the hell is that?

01:06:39.200 --> 01:06:41.200
Oh jeez, you got it back?

01:06:41.200 --> 01:06:42.200
Yeah.

01:06:42.200 --> 01:06:43.200
Well, is that lucky?

01:06:43.200 --> 01:06:44.200
They're real embarrassed.

01:06:44.200 --> 01:06:46.200
They're not going to stay.

01:06:46.200 --> 01:06:48.200
They're out of here.

01:06:48.200 --> 01:06:51.200
We don't want to be around any day.

01:06:51.200 --> 01:06:54.200
Oh, there's the...

01:06:54.200 --> 01:06:56.200
Especially down there.

01:06:56.200 --> 01:06:59.200
You know, we fished this depth.

01:06:59.200 --> 01:07:01.200
We didn't mark many fish there.

01:07:01.200 --> 01:07:04.200
Oh, what's this big attraction here?

01:07:04.200 --> 01:07:09.200
There's quite a few here.

01:07:09.200 --> 01:07:14.200
I mean, even this time when I'm ordered back up and marked several.

01:07:14.200 --> 01:07:19.200
Yeah.

01:07:19.200 --> 01:07:26.200
Well, I said a bite there, but didn't take it.

01:07:26.200 --> 01:07:27.200
Did you see David?

01:07:27.200 --> 01:07:28.200
Yeah.

01:07:28.200 --> 01:07:29.200
Yeah, I caught the end of it.

01:07:29.200 --> 01:07:30.200
It was huge.

01:07:30.200 --> 01:07:34.200
Yeah.

01:07:34.200 --> 01:07:38.200
Rex.

01:07:38.200 --> 01:07:39.200
Then there's a hybrid.

01:07:39.200 --> 01:07:41.200
A saw guy.

01:07:41.200 --> 01:07:44.200
You know, across...

01:07:44.200 --> 01:07:46.200
Where they cross.

01:07:46.200 --> 01:07:50.200
Real common out in the prairie states.

01:07:50.200 --> 01:07:53.200
The reservoirs out there.

01:07:53.200 --> 01:07:59.200
So I'm a professional walleye trail championship on 9-11.

01:07:59.200 --> 01:08:04.200
After the Twin Tower thing.

01:08:04.200 --> 01:08:09.200
Actually, it happened while we were out there pre-fishing the last day.

01:08:09.200 --> 01:08:11.200
And...

01:08:11.200 --> 01:08:18.200
No way.

01:08:18.200 --> 01:08:21.200
I'm looking at my locator.

01:08:21.200 --> 01:08:24.200
It says there's no rocks down there.

01:08:24.200 --> 01:08:27.200
Good job.

01:08:27.200 --> 01:08:31.200
Good job finding a rock.

01:08:43.200 --> 01:08:45.200
That is nice.

01:08:45.200 --> 01:08:47.200
Got it. Got it.

01:08:47.200 --> 01:08:52.200
I figured that land was probably getting pretty freed.

01:08:52.200 --> 01:08:54.200
Okay.

01:08:54.200 --> 01:08:56.200
Boy.

01:08:56.200 --> 01:08:58.200
Look out now.

01:08:58.200 --> 01:09:01.200
I'm giving you one of my quarter outs.

01:09:13.200 --> 01:09:15.200
Sager.

01:09:15.200 --> 01:09:18.200
He's a shame.

01:09:18.200 --> 01:09:21.200
Yeah.

01:09:22.200 --> 01:09:23.200
Another saw guy.

01:09:23.200 --> 01:09:25.200
You know, he wasn't letting go either when he decided to hit.

01:09:25.200 --> 01:09:27.200
He just smacked it.

01:09:27.200 --> 01:09:29.200
Ooh.

01:09:29.200 --> 01:09:32.200
Nice.

01:09:32.200 --> 01:09:37.200
Our first tow in the year was Spring Valley, Illinois,

01:09:37.200 --> 01:09:39.200
on the Illinois River.

01:09:39.200 --> 01:09:43.200
Which was all usually a flood in March.

01:09:43.200 --> 01:09:46.200
They had big sawgers in there.

01:09:46.200 --> 01:09:49.200
Four or five pounders, lots of them.

01:09:49.200 --> 01:09:53.200
And we partnered with the DNR

01:09:53.200 --> 01:09:59.200
to when the females we caught,

01:09:59.200 --> 01:10:03.200
the DNR would strip the eggs from them

01:10:03.200 --> 01:10:08.200
and take them to a hatchery for restocking.

01:10:08.200 --> 01:10:09.200
Anyway.

01:10:09.200 --> 01:10:11.200
And now it's just starting to shallow up.

01:10:11.200 --> 01:10:15.200
Seems like you just get past that rock.

01:10:15.200 --> 01:10:18.200
And that's kind of the end of it.

01:10:19.200 --> 01:10:21.200
I don't know.

01:10:21.200 --> 01:10:23.200
But we just have to see.

01:10:53.200 --> 01:11:08.200
you know and that thing is full of people you think every person in America would

01:11:08.200 --> 01:11:18.200
have done this by now wouldn't you I mean it don't matter I tell you about the

01:11:18.200 --> 01:11:26.000
guy that took over my guiding out here and still little tiny boats right

01:11:26.000 --> 01:11:32.520
there on shore just you got the same boats he did back then and he would he's

01:11:32.520 --> 01:11:37.680
kind of a big guy and he was so nervous you know he was a good fisherman a good

01:11:37.680 --> 01:11:44.020
guy so he would put two customers on little boats and himself and a little

01:11:44.020 --> 01:11:48.860
whatever they are ten or fifteen or two or mortars he would start right at

01:11:48.860 --> 01:11:53.140
this point and do what's this what we're doing this is how we guided like those

01:11:53.140 --> 01:11:58.060
in this whole first year he never left the the site of the resort probably in

01:11:58.060 --> 01:12:02.740
case the motors broke down you know now I might come out and there he'd be you

01:12:02.740 --> 01:12:09.460
know I'd be out here fit yeah yeah now we're getting some saugars how bad

01:12:09.460 --> 01:12:19.340
yeah eventually he had a nice big old Ranger 200 on it not that you need

01:12:19.340 --> 01:12:33.780
that here but you know that was vast prone my promotion manager there always

01:12:33.780 --> 01:12:38.540
what she did say was well you both right here we picked up sooner than later she

01:12:38.540 --> 01:12:46.900
said but she said that when I okay yeah I get it so we've got a really decent

01:12:46.900 --> 01:12:57.980
sand bank over here try go up to the point just like we did here well see

01:12:57.980 --> 01:13:15.660
where the break is there follow it down be nice to it's a few more fish so that

01:13:15.660 --> 01:13:28.660
was 2009 winter of and so I've had this sports and some it seems better days

01:13:28.660 --> 01:13:37.180
doesn't leak more runs like a dream or stroke it was a perfect river boat for

01:13:37.180 --> 01:13:42.380
me I did some guiding out of it I went a bagel which I wasn't real comfortable

01:13:43.380 --> 01:13:49.820
then I kind of wish they had my big boat but most days out there you know just

01:13:49.820 --> 01:13:55.260
don't be stupid you know don't go out there when it's just horribly windy this

01:13:55.260 --> 01:14:00.460
can handle three-foot ways pretty nice so that's and that's all I need I'll

01:14:00.460 --> 01:14:05.180
fish big waters you know I'm fishing the Great Lakes with it so yeah it was

01:14:05.180 --> 01:14:12.800
really a really a great gift for me to have a brand new boat and had zero

01:14:12.800 --> 01:14:18.560
breakdowns other than when I hit took the lower yield around in a river I hit a

01:14:18.560 --> 01:14:24.740
stinking log in high water floated in three years something but that's not the

01:14:24.740 --> 01:14:28.700
boat's fault there's pilot air

01:14:30.780 --> 01:14:42.500
do the birds you know yeah well I was guiding bird bird watchers not on Lake

01:14:42.500 --> 01:14:50.120
Puckaway with it that's way better than guiding a fisherman birds are always

01:14:50.120 --> 01:14:57.640
there you know and you don't have to catch him he's got to see him but nobody

01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:03.840
would nobody was doing that so I'd take people out he just loved it

01:15:08.000 --> 01:15:11.760
he's got the big jigs on

01:15:12.760 --> 01:15:20.440
oh you're dog you're gonna come see me you're dirty dog

01:15:27.520 --> 01:15:32.120
yes I should have powered it up

01:15:32.120 --> 01:15:43.520
it's serious it's gotta be an insight

01:15:43.520 --> 01:16:02.000
cover no there's not people say why are you running your boat with your

01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:11.000
ball not sees it before the before the back end of the more sees it hits it you

01:16:11.000 --> 01:16:17.160
know yeah he's gonna set up there all right

01:16:22.720 --> 01:16:29.000
unless the marks and fish because he went back and forth

01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:44.960
no break his way out here just like it was down there

01:17:02.000 --> 01:17:08.920
let's start blowing here I don't think he'll care about that he doesn't know

01:17:08.920 --> 01:17:17.120
that we weren't fishing here he's not gonna come out here anyway just working

01:17:17.120 --> 01:17:19.840
that inside I don't know what this

01:17:30.760 --> 01:17:39.040
see how we got a drift we get here this goofy wind it's really hard to make a

01:17:39.040 --> 01:17:43.920
nice clean drift on it on a channel edge

01:17:47.120 --> 01:18:09.680
I'm gonna hold this straight off of that break so far so good I didn't see a few

01:18:09.680 --> 01:18:15.200
fish when I came off the brake but front of that down tree there

01:18:17.120 --> 01:18:29.020
okay he's not walleye fishing he must be fishing crappies he's using a slip

01:18:29.020 --> 01:18:33.200
bobber see how far in the shore he casted

01:18:33.200 --> 01:18:50.000
let's see this work is break down and getting his net ready I'm serious

01:19:03.200 --> 01:19:08.540
it's

01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:30.460
the Janet Murray couldn't quite get it done last night

01:19:30.460 --> 01:19:35.460
It's an opportunity, so...

01:19:35.460 --> 01:19:41.460
We'll finish them tomorrow.

01:19:41.460 --> 01:19:46.460
You guys will give you that look, Zach.

01:19:46.460 --> 01:19:50.460
You've got to have faith, man.

01:19:50.460 --> 01:19:57.460
That's a lot of faith.

01:19:57.460 --> 01:20:01.460
That kind of faith gets you into heaven.

01:20:01.460 --> 01:20:05.460
That is an awesome way back when the sports guy,

01:20:05.460 --> 01:20:10.460
any time we want to talk about something that just inexplicably went wrong,

01:20:10.460 --> 01:20:12.460
we were like...

01:20:12.460 --> 01:20:16.460
Anything that was just stupid and went wrong.

01:20:16.460 --> 01:20:18.460
That was yours.

01:20:18.460 --> 01:20:21.460
2018, game 7, there.

01:20:21.460 --> 01:20:24.460
You can gain way to go to Boston in the World Series.

01:20:24.460 --> 01:20:29.460
And if they won, I would have went to Boston to cover him with a team.

01:20:29.460 --> 01:20:32.460
I was so bummed being that some buddies were watching the game and they lost.

01:20:32.460 --> 01:20:37.460
I'm like, yep, typical.

01:20:37.460 --> 01:20:40.460
I think the game 7 was in Milwaukee too.

01:20:40.460 --> 01:20:43.460
I forgot where they were playing.

01:20:43.460 --> 01:20:44.460
Diamondbacks?

01:20:44.460 --> 01:20:47.460
Might have been.

01:20:47.460 --> 01:20:54.460
I was at the carpet.

01:20:54.460 --> 01:21:01.460
Well, at first, they just killed them.

01:21:01.460 --> 01:21:06.460
I mean, Cubs never scored a run after that.

01:21:06.460 --> 01:21:10.460
Two or three walks.

01:21:10.460 --> 01:21:15.460
Can't do that in a wild pitch.

01:21:15.460 --> 01:21:19.460
But it was only the first inning.

01:21:19.460 --> 01:21:23.460
They definitely had plenty of chances to come back and win it.

01:21:23.460 --> 01:21:29.460
They had the runners on to do it.

01:21:29.460 --> 01:21:36.460
The bullpen was stellar.

01:21:37.460 --> 01:21:44.460
I thought the umpire was pretty interesting.

01:21:44.460 --> 01:21:46.460
Yeah.

01:21:46.460 --> 01:21:51.460
He feels fine.

01:21:51.460 --> 01:21:54.460
Yeah, I mean, seriously.

01:21:54.460 --> 01:21:57.460
Well, next year they're going to be all automated in the strike zone.

01:21:57.460 --> 01:21:58.460
Yeah.

01:21:58.460 --> 01:22:00.460
Interesting. I don't know how that will work.

01:22:00.460 --> 01:22:04.460
No, I don't either.

01:22:04.460 --> 01:22:14.460
Two fish, but...

01:22:14.460 --> 01:22:16.460
So he's jinging the wall.

01:22:16.460 --> 01:22:28.460
On one side of the boat and dragging it up.

01:22:28.460 --> 01:22:31.460
There was a few fish out in this, but there's not many.

01:22:31.460 --> 01:22:36.460
I like that better. The next one up.

01:22:36.460 --> 01:22:48.460
It's not as rocky.

01:22:48.460 --> 01:22:56.460
I would watch that a lot so then I'd just go and hold over the top of that spot and whack five and get out of there.

01:22:56.460 --> 01:23:00.460
You know, these guys would look at you like, what are you doing?

01:23:00.460 --> 01:23:04.460
Can't you see we're all drifting here? You're blocking our path.

01:23:04.460 --> 01:23:07.460
The fish are right here.

01:23:07.460 --> 01:23:12.460
Why are you drifting way down there? There's nothing down there.

01:23:12.460 --> 01:23:15.460
Wisconsin guys.

01:23:15.460 --> 01:23:18.460
You're not following the program.

01:23:18.460 --> 01:23:21.460
You've got to stay in line with everybody.

01:23:21.460 --> 01:23:23.460
I see you guys do that.

01:23:23.460 --> 01:23:30.460
The minute you waste fishing on productive water.

01:23:30.460 --> 01:23:43.460
Oh, I see. You know, you can't...

01:23:43.460 --> 01:23:47.460
During these transition times, especially,

01:23:47.460 --> 01:23:52.460
they would have never come down here in September, July, August.

01:23:53.460 --> 01:23:58.460
It's just not any fish.

01:24:01.460 --> 01:24:07.460
Usually by October it starts and it just gets better, better, better.

01:24:07.460 --> 01:24:12.460
You know, like these two cold nights.

01:24:13.460 --> 01:24:33.460
Obviously, there's almost a walleyes live there, so at least you've got an year-round part of fish compared to a river that's just contingent on current and fish movement and water temperature.

01:24:34.460 --> 01:24:41.460
But I know if I'd have taken you on the fox, it wouldn't have happened.

01:24:41.460 --> 01:24:49.460
No way. There in Montel, we had a shell that affects it.

01:24:49.460 --> 01:24:53.460
Dang it.

01:24:53.460 --> 01:24:58.460
That wasn't.
