 Good morning. This is day number four. Day number four. Nice. Donny knows exactly what day it is. Day number four. Pretty mild out. It's like 20 degrees. It's a little chilly in here this morning for for tent weather. It was like 22 degrees in here. I didn't put anything in the fire. It took me a couple hours to get to sleep. It's just a darn warm. I ain't built for that warmth like that from the from the wood stove. So I'm gonna figure that out. But got my first cup of coffee about driving to me. Breakfast is a little bit different today because I'm gonna go pick up a special guest on the snowmobile and when I get back there might be something brewing on the oven. I don't know. Let's hear it from Donny. Yeah well yeah I got up I guess about 5.30 and our friend that's Joey is gonna go pick up with a snow machine in about 10 or 15 minutes is coming in and he requested that I do some donuts. He's seen one of the old videos that Joe made of us up down on the river trip. So he wants to try my donut. While Joey's going to get him I'm gonna whip up a few donuts. That kind of reminds me of an older commercial Duncan Donuts had. I was laying here in my bunk and thinking and and Joey got up so I said well I guess I'll get up too and and I can remember the commercial was an older guy crawling out of the bed and sleepy-eyed in the middle of the night and he said oh I gotta go make the donuts. So that's what I gotta do. Go make the donuts. So hopefully by the time Joey gets back they'll be be ready or they will be shortly thereafter. Stay tuned. Well I'm getting ready to leave I'm gonna go pick up the special guest. All right. What do you got going on here? I'm measuring out my ingredients for the donuts. Beautiful. Got the fat on melding. On low heat. Gonna put this, melt this. Shot man. Oh if you want I could throw another log in there for you. Yeah I'll probably put one on. Okay. We'll be back bud. All right. I hope. Okay. I hope so. I hate to be stuck in the wall. I know, right? All right. Let's get this beast warmed up. Beautiful. What's up buddy? Not much. Blinded by the light. I'll turn it a little bit for you. This is our special guest. Say hello to Sean. Good morning. We're gonna go catch some Gators. We got a little surprise for you when we get in there. Oh I can't wait. Yeah. You want coffee? Different aboard. You drink coffee? Yeah. We'll get you a cup. We got a little surprise for you. Oh is that what I think it is? Is this a fresh batch? Or are these the ones you ate the other day? These are the freshies. Donny's been slaving all morning for you. Come on in. What do you think of that huh? That's nice. Too much sleep. Oh there they are. Hot off the press. We'll get you a mug if we got a mug here for coffee somewhere. Too hot to eat. No, no. Dig into them doughnuts. We'll get them to tear them. I've been there. It was a long ride to get over here. You got to let the folks at home know what you think of the doughnut. It's not bad. It's edible. It's not bad at all. The hype is real. He could probably sell those. Yeah. In his old age. You put dust right out of business. Right. How'd you do snows in the other day? We didn't get a limit but we got a bunch. Yeah. I'd never seen a school like that before. It was crazy. That was the coolest school I've ever seen. Yeah. So that first picture I sent you, like the first couple, I didn't really do it justice because we spent so much time messing around and then by the time I took a picture it wasn't really quite like it was at first. Really? Well, the last few wasn't worth it. But then first two that I sent, I was like, what do you think these are? Because we figured it was perch or something. We're like, we just want to catch one, figure out what these are. And they wouldn't bite anything. And we started with smell jigs. Yeah. Wouldn't bite them. We weren't even looking at it. Then we started throwing bigger stuff at it and nothing. And then that big fish came in, hit jobs, wailed them, missed it. And then the school was gone. And then I started panning around trying to find them again. We kept jumping and jumping. And then it was like, we got up on that 20 foot hump because at first we started out like 40 feet of water. And then it just got, it was even more, I don't know, probably just because we were shallower maybe and it was showing up better. But and then as it got later in the day, they started, they just got ferocious. Nice. But we had, like I was telling you, we got to drop right on the school. And then the school would just kind of move, move along the stragglers. They'd like, come check out the jig, but they wouldn't hit it. And then you'd have to pan over and oh, they went 30 feet that way and drop back on them. And as long as you were dropping right in the school, they would just, you'd just watch the whole school coming at the jig. It was crazy. You knew you were going to get a bite. It was inevitable. You'd just start pulling because you knew there was something on it. Yeah. I got to believe every big brown trout knows exactly where that school of smelt is at all times. Well, every once in a while, there'd be some big fish would come in, they'd come in in pairs. Oh, okay. And I guess there's salmon in there too. When it was the big school, the bigger fish would come in, the school would just kind of settle to the bottom. And then the fish would like check out our jigs and take right off. Like it's amazing how fast they are. Oh, yeah. And then the school would just come right back out. They didn't care. It was like, when it was the big school like that, they didn't, then fish didn't bother them, I guess just because safety and numbers or whatever. If the school had moved on, you had some stragglers and then you saw fish come in, they would, the stragglers would just gone. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I forgot about salmon. It was pretty cool to see though. That's a how many smell to your loud to court. Yeah, to to court. Oh, cool. But look, we were getting a lot of smaller ones, so you could get quite a lot than two courts. Like down damaskotta, I mean, they're also big, you know, two courts is like 40 smells. Yeah, they're getting shown. Don't be sorry. You could get, I mean, them down there, you probably get a hundred or more depending on how many we used to go down in the Brooks. This was years and years ago. It's illegal now, but you get in the Brooks, you'd see a smelt, you know, have a light at night. Right. See a smelt behind the rocks. Just stand there and go down, grab it with your hands. And now, now you have to use a net from shore. But I've heard stories of people just, oh my God, it used to be a drunken brawl at times, you know, be a lot. They describe it as like you could walk across the smelts in the Brooks. Oh, well, I'm not sure about that. But, you know, it was it was it was a lot of fun, you know, grabbing them. My grandfather, they used to go down and get smelts out of China, Wardsbrook, which you're going to walk through the woods to get into. And he got caught on night walking out with more than he was supposed to have. He claims that he was the reason they shot smelting off to China Lake. Really? They actually opened it back up a couple years ago. Me and Chubbs went down to try to find any, but. And you shut it down again? No, yeah. It was pretty easy. I didn't see any. Did you guys get checked twice by the Game Mourns once? And you told you told the Game Mourns you already been checked or you left you alone? The Game Mourns pops out of the woods, checks all our stuff. And off he goes. Because they just come out of the woods and like normal clothes like they're right over. And we're loading our stuff up about to go, you know, everything's good. We get checked there every year. And all of a sudden another one comes up. Let me see your licenses. Raise your face. Are you messing with us? The guy over there just checked us. Oh, okay. I'm going to use that next time we get checked by a Game Mourn. I'm going to see you messing with us. Yeah. We just got checked five minutes ago. Let's see if it works. It's worth a try, guys. It was one year we were up there doing that. The guy comes out to check us and he's just talking all normal clothes. We talked probably five, 10 minutes. And then the guy goes, just by the way, we're a Game Mourns. And that was when Northwood's Law was real popular. It was one of those guys that was on the show. I said, yeah, I know, I've seen you on TV. You can't hide very easy. That's cool. You played it cool. Years and years ago, we flew in from Shimpon into Johnson Pond, which comes down into Allagash Lake because you can't have any motors on Allagash Lake so they couldn't land plain there. But we set up a campsite and two guys came in later on that day. And you could just tell that they were won. They stayed by themselves. They didn't come over and converse or have a beer or whatever. Stayed by themselves. So we pegged them right off the bat. It was pretty easy sometimes. Yeah. Yeah. Look, Donny, it bubbled up, but there's green line. Here, I'll give you a hand. It doesn't look great. It doesn't look just like this is what they've been doing for the last three days. Hit them hard, Donny. Hit them hard. We'll hit them anyway. I was just kidding. Is he there? Yeah, there's something there now. Hit him. If he's there, hit him. It felt like something there. Yeah, there is. You're going to have to get caught up and set that hook when you get a chance. Holy God, he's got a half mile. Any signs? Decent. Decent. They look funny. Looks like a pike. Oh, it's getting bigger now. I don't think he was giant. A lot of giant, buddy. Oh, yeah, there you go. Walk him out. Oh, hammer handle. That is pretty. Look at the fins on that. I like the tiger stripes. Yeah, isn't that pretty? Wow. All right, Donny. Well, you want to recycle the smile, Donny? Okay, we're recycling smiles out here. There he goes. See you later, little gator. Although we were going to keep one. Oh, shoot. That's right. To fillet it. Oh, man, dang it. We've both of us have never tried it before. They say that's good. Yeah, they say it's excellent. Shoot, next five to six pounder. Yeah, sucking her in. There you go. I'd probably hit him. It's your call, though. You going to hit him? That's got some. Got some size to it. We'll just kind of manage your line. You do. This is a professional here. He's coming at me. That's professional line management. Donny, if you come right over here, Donny. Behind them, I can get in there and help out. Still got some size or is he getting smaller? He's normally feel fish like this. Yeah. He took some line, Donny. Yeah, he was really spinning when I first saw it. It's just kind of coming slow. That's usually a big one. I get a feeling. I don't even think I hit that little one on for a while. When he gets it, there's my. He's at his bottom, Maca. So when he gets near the hole, you might have to let him run. When he gets a little closer, he's going to probably feel a little different. Did you see him? I didn't see him. You saw him? Yeah. Over five. I don't know. Yeah. Go ahead if you want. This might take him a few tries. Oh, yeah. Take your time. We've got all the time in the world, but I'm running low on battery. So if you wouldn't mind hurrying. Oh, we're at bottom marker again, Donny. Hey guys, these battery always dies, right? Oh, what do we got? Who's the decent fish? Nice one. Is he burned in? Yeah, I'm stuck. First swivel. Look at that. He looks giant. Looks absolutely giant. If you back him up a little, get his head started. It's a good one. Oh, yeah. Double didgy. All right. Where's his butt? Get his butt in there. Look how broad he is. Don't catch a gill because they're sharp. But if you get him, you got him. So you're not hitting a gill, right? Nope. I'm good. That is a fat one. Look at this guy. He's lip hooked. Oh my gosh. Perfect. Good hook set, buddy. No, that happened during the big catch. Nice one, Sean. He's your standard 32-incher. Is he really? You know what the funny thing is? Let's go around his gut and see how wide his girth is. Yeah, 32. Right on time. Wow. 16. I guess you don't want to squish him, man. No. Beautiful. Blade of Gator. Blade of Big Gator. Oh, nice one. What do you think, buddy? Nice one. Good fight. Not a bad first one for the day. Beautiful. Keep it going. Lying on backwards. Look at Donny's finger from the last pike. Sean, your finger. You got it. Yes. Got you good. Yeah, took it right off. Sean's using bait that Donny would eat. If Donny... Definitely. If Donny, if Sean leaves his bait bucket too long, Donny's going to have a little feed over here. A little feed for lunch. What do you think of that catch? Pretty good? Very nice. Good fight. Good fish. There you go. There we go. Crappy. First crappie ever? First crappie through the ice. Nice. First crappie through the ice. Got him. This one's pretty. Donny, you tell us the size. This one's too small for you, right? What about Sean's? Don't want that one? A little small. A little small. But it's big enough. You can't please them all. Keep working on it. Oh, that's a good one. Might be. Might be a keeper. That looks pretty good. Might be a keeper, Donny. Is that a keeper? Oh, yeah. That's a keeper for me. All right. Donny's on the board. That's a keeper. It did scare him all the way. Maybe we got a pike coming in. You want to whack him? I think I'm going to whack him. You going to hit him, Donny? There? Got him? It's there. Smaller. Smaller. Is this the eater we're looking for? Yeah, he didn't go very far, actually. Whoa. Whoa. Burn in? Yes. Want me to get it? Swivel. Look at that. No! What on that thing smell? Oh my God, we're going to take that home. You want one? One pound, 15 ounces is a state record. God, I'll lose my spell. I'll lose my spell. I'll lose my spell. Ah. Whoa. I'll lose my state record. God, I'll lose my spell. I'll lose my spell. Ah. What is he doing, Donny? Oh yeah, what in the heck is he doing right now? He's probably a pound. He's probably a pound one. He's probably a pound. I don't think you got a state record, Sean, but that's a stave and yellow perch. Highfalutin big old yellow. What's the record? 115. You probably missed it by six ounces again. 0.85, so half. About halfway there. Yeah. He's not long enough, but that's a nice yellow. Right full of spawn. Would you guys eat that if you caught that? Huh? Is that an eater right there? 13 inch. I always threw yellow perch on the ice and let the eagles eat them, but I have had them and they are good. They're delicious. I can see that swivel's a problem. It could be, but you've got another one I got. Oh yeah, a trike. We've got another problem. We've got other problems. It's way off to the side, into the back end. You're into the third color. Third color. This is the one we were just at, right? Yeah. So I think you want to be on this side over here, Donnie, because it's the lines that way hard. And I would feel for them and hit them. Is that still ice cast? I don't feel a thing. Nothing? Don't feel it? Yes? You feel it now? I feel, yeah. I feel it now. Perk? Oh no. Oh boy. Oh boy. But I usually just give him a little tension on the side of that reel so it doesn't wrap. You don't want a backlash? Nope. I hate backlash. He's coming with it now. Oh, bottom back. Not very big, whatever it is. Pickerel or pike? It's a call. You think this is the bigger perch than mine? Big perch. Oh, nice pike. Might be an eater, Donnie. Oh, might be, yeah. What class size of eater pike? Five pounds. Worth putting a knife into. I don't know if he goes five, but... Oh, get him. Pull the hook out. Good release. Oh, is he making up to eat? He's got a couple filets off him. What's the time when that happens? You can go arm deep after him. That might have been the easiest. What do you think? Give me the judge. Yeah, let's eat him. You can even get your bait back. Yeah, we can definitely get the bait back. It was alive. Nice. What are we going to do with it? We're going to filet it. Filet it? Yep. I've heard boiling them so good. We watched a video yesterday on how to filet these things. Because they got that Y bone or whatever they call it. Y? No. What do you think he is for poundage? Four? Three? He would be close to 4.3. I like it. And he's probably 32 inches. No, he isn't 32 inches long. He is four, though? 4.3. He's a pretty one. He's dark. Oh yeah, he's four. Pretty damn close. You're getting good at this. 4.91, so almost five pounds. But if we take that Shiner back, he might be 4.3. That's right. The pike just started rattling around in the sled. We were fishing at Derby at Wasakag. Wasakag is really competitive. There's a ton of people and a pretty small lake. You want to keep it a secret how you're doing stuff. It was like my second set in the morning. You couldn't set before a light back then. So we had to wait. We're watching. Had the holes drilled and everything. The second set, I'm setting. And I get like an eight pound pike. I mean, an eight pound lake trout. And it was in the Derby. So once you keep one, you're done. So I ended up keeping it. A couple guys come over and like a half hour later. And they're like, how are you guys doing? You catching any? And I'm like, no. Ain't caught a thing yet. No flags. And that thing is just beating itself to death. In the sled. And it's that sound too that you just, it's unmistakable. They're like, no, nothing, huh? And I'm like, no, nothing. Yeah, nothing to see here. Sometimes a fisherman, I guess you're permitted a lie or two. Yeah. So how'd you end up in the Derby with that? Well, since you're only allowed one, I kept it. And I was done one minute, two minutes into the tournament. So I said, is there anything else in this lake to catch? And they said, they said there once was brook trout in here years ago. And they had it as a division. So I moved all my traps way into shore from far away or fishing. And I caught a friggin brook trout. Oh, kidding. Yeah. And I took first place in brook trout, second place in lake trout. Oh, wow. Yeah. Nice. And they don't stock them there? They stop stocking them. So it was like a holdover. Yeah, it was the only brook trout weighed in. Wow. It was 12 inches. It wasn't even big. Yeah. Oh, man. I hope he bites. I hope he bites here as I got a little one. Sean, have you ever eaten them? No. Oh, you want to try them. I mean, that's not bad. And this was half the size of the one that's on him right now. I've eaten a lot of white perch. I hear they're better. I hear they're better. Yes or no? What do you think? You're cool. You can get a knife into them. There's enough down there. We ain't going to hurt them. Eat it. Eat it. Yes. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. Yes, sir. Oh, that's a beauty. I think. Is that one big enough for you, Donny? Yeah. That one's got some shoulders. Yeah, I think you ought to try them. Might keep. Might keep? He might keep for you. It's going to be close. You're going to have to look at them twice. Keeper? Everything's a keeper right now. I can't. Let me write. I know it. Is that the hook? Oh, buddy. It looks up to me. It looks like it's just barely tripped. This is your eighth trap. And it didn't spin lift enough. Oh, there you go. He's on. Yes? Yep. Oh, he's a good one. Wow. Thanks. Did he stop you? Bottom mark. He tugged pretty good when I set the hook. This is when they might make a big run. Oh, it's big. It's big. You got a giant? Oh, it's always the width. I wouldn't call it a giant. It's all the width. They look wide. Maybe I confused my width and my length, though. I don't know. Which one is it? Which is it? The two hashes or the one hasher? 32 inches long. 32 inches. 12.87 pounds or 19. Oh, jeez. You don't even want to give us a look. It's big. This will be your new PB if we can get it up. Oh, my God. Yeah, he is big. Look at the gut on that. Wow. Yeah, Donnie. I think this might top 10. Yep. That's a big one. Oh, he is. 36. Thank you, Donnie. Yeah, he's deep. Yeah, I saw the width of him, but I'm like, that's a fat fish. Look how fat he is. Bingo. You got it. There's more 10 pounds. He's over 10. New PB, Donnie. I think so. Got it? Yep. Oh, yeah. 11.52. Wow. 11.52. Wow. Hold that baby up for a picture. Actually, I'll get in here too. Look how fat he is. Look at that. Oh, we didn't measure it, did we? 32. Did you guys measure it? No. What do you think those two are all spreaders? Oh, my God. 33. 33. Yeah. We're going to recycle a big smile here, guys. We're letting this 12, what did we say, 11.51 go. I don't think they weigh much. We could weigh those. I wouldn't worry about it. Let go of that. Just put your finger in there. Yeah, right. It's not bad. There you go. You want me to get them? Yep. All right. Guys, this is how we recycle smiles in Maine. My buddy David Dudley taught me that one. And then you get them down there. And it's so easy. You just let it go and say, see you later. Big Gator. Watch this. Oh, he got me wet. What a nice fit. Donny, new PB. All right. 11.51. Nice. Pretty awesome. That's a pocket. Good fight too. I think 33 inches. I know. Fat, fat, wicked fat. Oh, we didn't go around him, but I got to believe he was 17. Oh, that's great. Yeah. Wonderful. Regional NBC was there filming, and then they sent it out to, like, your area. Yeah. So, like, they sent the footage to the, you know, Channel 6 News and whatever. Jumbo. Jumbo Liar. So, yeah, there was quite, I mean, it was right in the dead of summer, so I don't know as it did a whole lot for me, but the road waiting. I don't know what I was waiting for. But we got some coming now. Candice was still... Jumbo. He ate that pretty quick. Yup. Candice was still sitting in the White House with all her stuff. Oh, Jumbo. And she calls me. She goes, where are you? And I was like, I'm just sitting here waiting for Secret Service. Meanwhile, she's sitting there with the Secret Service guy. Yeah. And she goes, everybody's gone. I'm the only one here, and they want to get me out. And I was like, well, there's nothing I can do. I was like, I'm waiting on them. Right. And then she said, after she got off the phone, the guy gone on his walkie-talkie, and he goes, I don't care what you got to do, get that kid in here right now. They came in, they called me in. It was like they barely checked my truck and I went. Oh, he's going to eat. Boom. Got him. I missed him. Missed him. What is going on? Jig that time. Ready? Three, two, one. Got him. She's got pictures of her. Oh, look at that jumbo. This room they were in. They cleaned it all out. By the time I got in there, there weren't nothing in it. And there's just some woman sitting there vacuuming. And Kanda's sitting in the middle of it on chair with the Secret Service guy standing next to her. And she's got a picture of her. Oh, you got a good one on you. That a boy. There's jumbo. That is a good one. Oh, come on. No. What is wrong with this thing? How are we going to eat tonight? Maybe you should just stick to trap fishing. Yeah. I'm better at that. Well, guys, we've had so much action. We're coming to get somebody to eat. Donny's Donuts were awesome this morning, but we need to drive a little bit more into us. So guess what we're having? We are going high class today. We're going to have lobster for lunch. Straight out of the city of Lewiston. We're having Lewiston lobsters. There they are. How do you like to look for those? We're wrapping bacon on top of baked beans with relish on top of that. So that's going to be a mean one. The rolls are going to be pretty fall. They might need some bigger rolls. That's like a 400 pound Canadian and a Speedo at Old Orchard Beach in the summer. Butter that bacon. Bacon that sausage. Rolls are done to perfection. Just like my mother always did. I love you, mom, if you're watching this. Rolls are done just like my mom used to make them. Dig in. You want to slide the beans on that? Well, piece of bacon, no beans. Bacon, no beans? What are you trying, Sean? I don't know. Hold it right up. I'll get out of your way because the beans are over here. I don't have an extra hand or I'd help you. I think I'm going to put it with the rest of the stuff and be holding off. You're going to max out that roll. I know. It's falling apart before I even put anything in it. You're going to need a beard to keep that from hitting your shirt. There's relish, too, somewhere. You want some of these pickles? Sure. Look at that thing. Dude, rolls got perfect crunch. Really? Good. Look at that thing, fellas. Would you drive one of them, India? I would. Looks pretty tasty. Really good. Well, you can just keep it from falling apart. What are we going to name it? The Lewis and Lobster Deluxe? That looks good. I like it. Definitely deluxe. Loaded dog from the Lewis and Lobster Company. I like it. I like it. Loaded dog from the Lewis and Lobster Company. We're bigger than Davey Crockett. First taste of okra ever. It's like a Brussels sprout. Really? For real. Not quite. It's like a Brussels sprout with a green bean and then never called it for a month after. And the green bean was like, what happened? Do you lose my number? And the Brussels sprout was like, nah, I might. I'd call it more. More Brussels sprout than green bean. Do you like Brussels sprouts? Not really. Donny's been out his coffee. Oh, that was awesome. It's better than a Brussels sprout though. Oh yeah, I can't handle Brussels sprouts. Donny's going. Or Sean, whoever. Sean, take it. Take it, Sean, take it. There's another one up over there, Donny. Both extra tall, Robert, so sky high. Looks like he's got into the line. Feels decent. Feels decent. Feels decent. There's a keeper. I like the sound of that. This is going to be a good one. Oh, this is. Look at it. Yeah. Is it yellow parrots? Big parrots. State record. Is it chubs in here? Chubs is working today. Wow. Yeah. Yeah? He's pulling hard. We haven't come to the band yet. Yeah. Oh, you have? No. Look at that. Look at the spool, guys. When you need it, just let me know. You're not letting me get him very far. Really? Wow. Hope he's not wrapped. You. Oh, there's the band. There's the band. Move. I'm going to leave that like that. Hope you'll land this thing. Doesn't like that all much. I put it up in the air, guys, so it can free spool for him. It definitely feels big in that other one. Yeah. You got, you're tied into something here, bud. We may have to drill another hole beside this one to get enough throw. That would not be the worst. Oh, we're here. He's big. He's in the 10 range. Didn't look like he had a giant head, but I didn't see his body. He looked like he was in the 10 range. I think this was wire. Can I give you that? Got it. A lot of times you got to hit reverse to get their head to back up for their snout. Yeah. There you go. Just like that. Nice. Nice one, bud. He's a seven, eight, eight pounder. Let me set him down her so you don't get hurt. Keep doing that. You got him? Watch that thumb. Watch that thumb. Hold on. Let me set him down for you. Right in his eyeball. How's that feeling, dude? Nice. Good one, Sean. All right. What a fight, huh? Yeah. He fought more than he fucks, actually. Yeah. He fought like a big, big, big fish. Is that a big gator? Nice. Good job, buddy. Great. Look, it's lined up. Keep it running, buddy. Oh. It's all right. No, you're good. Overachute. It doesn't look like anything. Yeah, it's way off the side. You're going to have to hit him real hard if he's a way out. The only thing? I don't feel a thing. I'd go fast and hit it hard the second you feel anything. There's nothing. Keep coming. He might just circle back. Wow. Thing made a run, didn't it? There you go. You got him? You got him. Any size? Uh, nothing. Whoa. Now? Any size now? Uh, not too big. You're at your bottom mark. Not fighting much. Oh, nice one. Yeah, it's a good one. Is it? Yeah. Ouch. Oh, Sean. Sean's got it going. He's between six and... He's between five and 20. Six and eight. Nice. Oh, my God. Look how fat he is. Yeah, it's not too bad. I bet you he's 32 inches long. I'm over here like, no, this is a good one. This is a good one. Take your little thing, then Donny's like, eh, it's pretty small. Way bigger than what I just caught. It's the same length that we saw him. I got a measure. I know it's 32, but... That's the weirdest thing. Is that how they say it? Yeah. Oh, go a little more. Right there. 30 and a half. Oh, they must have put a shorter one in here. Yeah. Shorty. Is that how they stock them? Do you realize how many comments that's going to get? You're like me. You're a friggin' nut of rain to the chirp. Do a little chirp trolling. Is that how they stock to be said? I friggin' love it. I'm going to use that for now. Seven and a half? Seven and a half. Seven 65. Nice. Sean, you want to take it home for... No, I'm good. Thank you, though. All right. Let's release them. Okay, big boy. Recycled. Recycled smiles. See you later, big gator. Slapper. Great. Oh, super. My drag was open. This one seems like a jumbo, doesn't he? Yeah, looks like it's got some size. Oh, yeah, it's a crappy. A crappy? Not a bad crappy. Wow. Look at that one, huh? He came in like a patch. Well, I guess you got to catch a crappy every once in a while when you're jigging perch. Yeah, it's crappy. God, he's all over it. That's what he did to mine. Got him! He's not that big. Got him! Oh, jeez, maybe he's an eater. Yeah, he's an eater. It's mid-afternoon. We're getting... We're going to pack her up. We got some rain coming of all things. Can you believe it? Rain coming. Rain's no good when you're ice fishing. So we're going to tear down camp and see if we can get out of here before the rain happens. And that'll be the end of this trip. We'll walk you through the process. Yep. What's up, this baby right here? Yeah. That's a load right there, guys. Sean brought so much stuff. It's really making a big load. You know, Donny and I didn't bring much. Yeah, I showed up now. Yeah, now we're in trouble. Yeah. Donny and I wouldn't bring too much stuff. It was a little bit of a challenge getting all that gear out and loaded into the trailer was the hardest part. All at once. Just drove her on there. It was hard. We got quite a bit of rain on the way out. It's raining really hard now. We're hoping it doesn't turn to freezing rain on the roads. But no problems getting out of there. We still get a little bit of daylight to drive home. We got a pretty good drive home. And yeah, all in all, for me, it was a phenomenal trip. Getting to see Donny catch a couple double digits and at least 12 pike. Yeah. And then having an 80-year-old out there doing stuff that a lot of people think is really hard in the winter camping. And sometimes I think it's a little hard. You know, watching an 80-year-old just tear it apart like that and fish in and everything every day and loving it. Waking up with a smile every day really, really motivates me and inspires me just to go higher and higher. Because I can always say, well, if Donny can do it at 80, I can do it too. So that's it from me, guys. I had a phenomenal trip. Thanks for tuning in. But I'm going to turn you over to Donny for our outro for the whole series because I think he darned well earned it. So Donny, tell him what you think. Oh, my gosh. This has been an experience that I thought I'd never have. You know, catching these big fish like this, you know, 11 and a half pounds is the biggest. We had two that were over 10 pounds. The rest were 8, 7, 6, 5. So that was great. But, you know, when you go on these camping trips, when you're an old guy, you just want to bring a young guy with you. It was. Because there's a lot of things that I used to do that I can't do now, you know, strength-wise and having a young guy along is certainly an asset. So I had a great time, great four days and the weather cooperated, you know, was very, really mild compared to last weekend and so it was all and all wonderful. I hope, you know, some of you people out there can experience the same thing that we have. Okay, I'll hand it back to Joey. That's it. You tell him. Say thanks for tuning in. See you tomorrow or the next one. Alright, over and out.
