They were fixing to win their fourth straight event, which is not probable, and I don't think it's possible.

I had literally done the math. This team needs to beat this team by five places in order to win Team of the Year. And, you know, I think there was seven that were relatively in contention to win. So I had those nailed down.

When they were coming up to the scales, I saw their fish, and I knew that they had to be in 11th place, either here or there. I'm looking at them, put the fish in the basket, and I'm like, okay, four-pounder, four-pounder, four-pounder. I'm like, all right, 20 pounds. I said, they probably got it.

Well, when they put the first fish on the scale, the big fish, in my gut, there's no way. There is no way that's an eight-pound fish.

And then when they put the other fish, so five total on the scale, and it was like 33 and some change.

You need almost a seven pound average. They just didn't have seven pound fish. So I said, I want to take a look at them.

It's just like the fear in their face, you know what I'm saying? Like I could tell he was like, oh, I'm in trouble. It's about to hit the fan. I felt a hard object in the belly of the fish. I'm like, oh my God. There's typically not hard objects in the belly of a fish.

All right, in first place, in the open division, and currently leading the walleye slam and the fall ball, Chase Kaminsky, Jacob Rodion, your champions.

I always joke we're all too old and fat to play baseball, so here we are, we fish. We show up, and whose equipment's the best? You got flashy boats, flashy trucks, stickers all over your gear, and you go out and just kind of stack it up at the end of the day. And when it's all said and done, you know, these guys are buddies. They're just normal Joes. They all have jobs.

They can be tricky, especially inland lakes. But here on Lake Erie, it's the most plentiful fish out there. There's a lot of different ways to catch them. And you can have a lot of success here on Lake Erie. And some people would think walleye fishing is easy, but that's because they do it here. Go everywhere else in the world. You know, they are a difficult, they're a very finicky fish.

If you look out at that lake right there, you can't see any walleyes. So, you know, you got to find them and then you have to catch them. So it's a difficult thing to do. And it's difficult to always be the top dog, the number one guy. And then you factor in all the actual competition. Everybody else is doing the same thing. You know, it's a very difficult thing to do.

Guys will get a win, maybe two. They'll finish top fives. But it's tough to win event after event after event.

You know, you're just out here just trying to fuel your spirit. Keep it going. You know, it's just what that's what we do. And that's all these guys are. They're just little kids and grownups bodies out here having fun.

I'm like, oh, my God. There's typically not hard objects in the belly of a fish. I mean, they're not eating, you know, zebra mussels or, you know, rocks or whatever, turtles.

First of all, I wanted to thank you and the prosecution and the Division of Wildlife for handling this matter seriously. It means a lot to us, and not that you wouldn't, but at the end of the day, it is a complaint generated by fishing. So we appreciate you guys taking the time to investigate properly.
