gonna be today for this tournament, you guys? Tell me that. What's the rules. - Five biggest. - Total pounds. - Five biggest? - Let's just go total
pounds, the whole thing. - So we're gonna
weigh these fish? - [Kent] We're gonna weigh 'em. - Okay. - You guys got small fish, so. - So you got a scale? - I got a scale. - Okay, you got a scale? - You know it's a
hot night out there when there ain't nobody else
but us in the parking lot. - [Dan] I tell you, Brett, I love being in a boat
that embraces coffee. - That's right. - [Dan] Smith, he
doesn't like it. (upbeat music) - [Brett] If you don't
wanna swim with them, don't throw them in. (laughing) - [Larry] You're
in the wrong boat! Hey, we haven't even been out
here for five minutes, Kent. - [Kent] Your lips are moving. I don't hear
anything coming out. (upbeat music) - [Larry] A net? - [Kent] Swinging high. - [Larry] Hey, this is
a no net competition! (laughing) - Who's Larry Smith? - [Larry] You netting
that little thing? - Sure you want us
to weigh this one? - [Larry] That's a
sucker, isn't it? - [Brett] You might've
wanted to stick to inches. - [Larry] Weight, wanted
to stick to inches. - [Brett] What's
happening, guys? How many you guys got? - You know, I tell you what, I like this better
than red wingers. Not people all over. - [Brett] Worth all
four of what you have. - Brett, what are
you talking about? - He's gloating like
an old banshee rooster. Peacocking. - [Brent] That's gotta be at least a five
pounder, doesn't it? - [Shooter] 10, when
I've got my hands on it. - [Brent] 10, when you've
got your hands on it. - [Shooter] That is
it, it's a 10 pounder. - [Brent] Add a zero. - [Dan] Look at that. - Oh it's going up. It's five three, I got. - [Shooter] That's a beast. - [Dan] All right, one, six. - Hey. What do you got there? - Oh, I was just, boy is my phone blowing up. I was just on a couple of
the social media forums, the big deal, they
said that Brett King, the new big deal, Yamaha. Right? Oop, I can't believe it. The new big deal. Hey. Brett King. - Six pounder. - Yeah, get that one, too. Wow. We got a double going now. - I think this one's bigger. - Yeah, this one. - Oh, we got a triple going. - We got a triple? They're looking for rods. This one came off, I think. - All right, you take this one. - Well, hang on a second. - [Dan] You want me to get one? - Nope, you keep filming. You be quiet. You got a friend, the Coot. - We got company. - [Larry] Right? - They've been
following us for a mile. - [Larry] I see that. I thought you guys had
a planer board out. I'm like, why would he
have a planer board out? Sometimes you're the bug, and sometimes you're
the windshield. You know what? What do you think we are today? Take a guess. - [Dan] What does

get to see the show we came and shot here, because we got ice
right after that, so we didn't run it, but it's a rematch here. We've Kent Anderson
from Warrior. We've got Pat
Brookshaw from Warrior, and our good friend, Brett King. You know, and last year, it was King and
Shooter faced together, and of course Kent and I. And you know what? Kent, I'll let you
take it from here. - Well, I think it was
like 19 fish to five. - I'm glad you said that, right? I didn't. See, they're pretty quiet. - Every term, and it's
the best five that come. Who had the biggest fish? - But we never went that way. - Oh, oh, yeah. - But I don't know if
you had the biggest five. You just assumed you did.
- No. - Well, guess what? It really doesn't matter, cause we won. We won. Right, and today is a new day.
- It's your show. - And it is my show, right, so no matter what, we'll probably win. But we'll win the
right way, right? - So leave it to
the rematch, right? - Leave it to the rematch. - Fast forward to today, who shows up with live bait
to a no live bait tournament? - Who said it was a no
live bait tournament? - I think I can hear a bubbler. - We always have live bait. I never go anywhere
without live bait. - We're not bass fishers. - We're not bass fishing. Right, well, I'll tell you what. - You guys see how
this goes, right? - We'll see how it goes, but you know what? Stay tuned. Let's see what happens today on the St. Croix on the rematch. (upbeat music) Basically what we're doing here is we're pulling stick
baits on three-ways. Gonna run two rods a piece, got a longer lead on that, cover your weight. Five ouncer on that. On a five foot lead, we're ready to roll. Hey, Kent, you might
want to give Brett a call and see if we can start
the tournament yet, because I got one already. Turn our tracker. They're putzing around
at the boat lane. I don't know what kind
of tournament fisherman putzes around at the boat lane. I'm more or less, let's just
start catching some fish. That's a good sauger. You know what? This is a great way
to extend your season, by coming out on these
rivers like this, in Mississippi, the St. Croix, and that's a great
sauger right there. Yep, you know what? I might keep some
fish today, Kent. I don't usually
keep much for fish, but I tell you, when you start looking
at these saugers, I love saugers. Hey, you know, we're
trawling about 1.2, 1.3, real slow, we're in about
30 to 33 feet of water, and basically, letting that
three-way get that bait right down there, and we're only off the bottom
with these Crane baits, probably less than a foot, and just moving slow. Nice fish to start it off. Hey, Brett, Brett! Can we start fishing yet? I think I heard him say yeah. (upbeat music) It's saying it's
a nettable fish. Ah, flinger. Nice sauger, though. Gotta like that. Nice sauger. - Yeah, ah they feel big
one, first one of the day. - [Larry] Yeah, certainly does. Well, I see you switched
baits, too, huh? - Yeah, we're just
moving things around, til we figure out what
they wanna eat today. Ah, give us at least a pound. One pound. - [Larry] One pound. - So as far as we know, we got a two pound, seven
ounce lead right now. (upbeat music) - Last time we were here -- - I think this is
the wrong species. - You thinking white bass? - I'm thinking white bass. - Uh oh. That's a King fish. Brett King fish. Oh, no, a nice fish. - [Kent] Nice one. - [Larry] Better a net. Oh, you already got him in. A sauder, yes. - Well, if I was waiting
for you to net him, we'd still be waiting. - Why does he always say that? I miss one fish one
time with a net, and I still am hearing about it - I didn't say anything
about you missing it, I just was waiting. - I know what you were saying. Is that the new bait
you just put on? - Yeah, just put that one. - [Larry] Okay. And that's the key, really, when you're fishing. You're marking a ton of fish. It doesn't make a lot of sense to keep pulling
through them fish, and using the same colors. So you're always changing it, adapting speed. What do you got? Over a pound? - 1.5 - 1.5. 1.5, let's keep
changing them baits. (upbeat music) - He's trying to
make me miss it. - You just started
that everroot up, and as soon as
you started it up, that fish hit. Feels like a good fish. We need this one, definitely need this one. Boy, I'll tell you, the last four, Kent, have come unbuttoned on me, and I thought this
one came unbuttoned. Feels like a good fish. Nice sauger. You know what? You told me to put
that jointed on, and I didn't believe
you right away and I put on two other baits, and then I went to the jointed, and right away got this one. Nice fat little sauger. - That's gonna give
us some pounds. - That's definitely
gonna help us out there, but it is kinda funny, because you started
that everroot up, and as soon as
you started it up, whoop, got it. Boy, that one, now that's the first fish that's actually had
that bait swallowed. 1.4, 1.4. Yes! It's amazing how
excited a guy gets catching a one pound,
four ounce sauger. (upbeat music) We need this one, buddy. - [Kent] (mumbling) is that? - A walleye, too. First walleye of the day. - [Kent] And a decent one. - It is a decent one. Now you were just pumping
that back and forth, right? - Yeah, just sitting
there working it. - Ooh, another fish
right there, huh? - Yep. (upbeat music) - [Larry] Hey, guess what, Kent? I just saw our
competition making a run. So they must not
be doing too well. - We talked to them,
and they had a few fish, and then we left, and they followed us, but they didn't stop. So I'm guessing
they didn't catch any more fish there, either. - You know what? That's, uh, we haven't
been here very long, and now this is the
third fish we'd had on, and we got that
one into the boat. - And that one,
he didn't like -- - Wow. Look at that. That one's definitely
bleeding like crazy. That might have to, we
might have to keep that one. - [Dan] 1.12. - 1.12? (upbeat music) 1.12, you were right. Dan, Dan, the cameraman, the caveman is always right. - I'm gonna mark that one down, that he said that. (upbeat music) But yeah, do some fake net. - Do a high five. It worked. Got him to turn around. Oh, here they come. Yup, they're coming. (laughing) You know, that's
something about fishing. It's always good to mess
with your competition. - [Announcer] Trophy Ice Fish, Green Bay's premiere ice

the one that makes you look good every week. - He does, which is
not an easy task. - [Kent] No. - [Larry] Put her down, boys. - Look at this beef jerky. - [Larry] We got a bunch
in the truck for you. I'm sorry, son. - [Kent] How many
you got on your card? - More than we got. - [Kent] Probably. How many you got? - Five, six. - [Larry] Pretty tough. (upbeat music) - This one, I don't know if
we need a net for, Larry. - Okay. It's official. And on that same
bait, right, Kent? - Where'd you guys go? - [Brent] Out a couple miles. - Oh, okay, any luck? - [Brent] Yeah, we got one. - Okay. Good, good. Maybe they're starting to bite. Let us know if you really
start getting them. (laughing) - [Brent] I'm sure
the five of us, we're just having fun. - [Larry] It's gonna go, huh? - It is. - [Brent] Yup. - [Larry] Good deal. All right. - All right. We gotta go. He might not be the
biggest fish in the lake. - Right. - But today, every ounce counts. - It does. Let's weigh that puppy up, and see what we get. And that's, you know, Kent, you've been fishing
tournaments all your life. A lot of tournaments
are won by just ounces. - Yep. - That's a fact. - Especially when we're
doing the ultimate, what's it, the
ultimate fishing rules? - Yup. - Where every fish counts today. - Every fish counts. - No. - How much? - [Dan] 14. - 14? - 10. - Oh, and out there. - It's a good thing that we've
got you in the boat again. - Not the right flavor. - Not the right flavor? - Feels a lot like (mumbling) - Oh, I was backing
you up with that. - You were backing me? - There's no way that you
can afford to lose that fish. I'll tell you that. When we're in a tense
situation like this, fishing against King
and the Shooter, man. - Especially after we
just talked to them, and I think it's gonna be
a pretty tight race today. - [Larry] It is gonna
be a tight race, so every fish counts. See what we got here. - Gotta be over a pound.
- Yeah. Okay, sure. Why are these saugers so chunky? Man. - [Kent] Just that time of year. - [Larry] Yeah, built up. Oh, right on the money. A pound. A pound it is. - One pound. - One pound. You know, if I would
just pull my weight, we'd have a good
lead on these guys. I'm slacking. I don't know what the deal is. I know, it's a good thing that
you're not waiting for turns. - It was the last
one we got, that, yep, it was that
little 10 ouncer. - Yup. (upbeat music) Hey, I'll tell you what. Join our very own Shotgun Shafer He's gonna be over at Woodman's in Sun Prairie from 10 to 2, December 2nd, and he's

Thanksgiving, folks. Shotgun Chef Steve
Shafer in the kitchen. Hey, everybody be
safe out there, hunting season,
it's Thanksgiving. I'm going lazy this year. Burgers' Smokehouse
Meats called me up, said I want to try this. It's a precooked
10 pound turkey, it's been smoked. All's I have to
do is heat it up. The family's busy. They're running
around all day today. I am in the kitchen. I'm just gonna throw
this in the oven for a couple of minutes. They said, 350, turn off
the heat pretty much, and let it sit in the oven. They only want it to
get up to 140, 150, somewhere in that ballpark, cause it's all
precooked already. You don't wanna take
the moisture out. Don't cook it, folks. Just warm it up. Make sure you get it around 140. So I'm gonna cut it open, put it in the pan, put it in the oven. I've got the oven preheated, I'm gonna turn it off
when I throw it in. I already got stuffing, potatoes, gravy,
everything started. It's supposed to be that fast, and family's all
out goofing around, so I'm gonna put
this in the oven, and hopefully they get
home when it's done. Let's see how this works. Seriously, guys,
Burgers' Smokehouse, I can't believe all
the stuff they got. It's already in a,
is that a netting? Look at that. They must've hung
it up like that. Man, if you guys
could smell that, I have to say it, that really smells
really really good. I don't know what they
smoke with down there, but it smells good. So that's all it is. 10 pounds, going in a pan, see if this lid fits on it, if not, it's gonna be like that. There it goes. We are going down in the oven. I'm gonna let it sit in there. They say about probably 20
minutes to half an hour. I'm gonna check it
in a little while, but it's already cooked. They're just trying
to warm it up, so it doesn't take the
moisture out of it. See you in a bit. All right, folks,
it's been an hour. Pulled the bird out of the oven. She's nice and warm. She looks good, smells good. Put a knife to her,
see what she does. I'm going the easy route, folks. I ordered precooked,
Burgers' Smokehouse. You look at the
goodness, people? Look at that. One thing nice about
being a chef and a cook? You get to free taste. That's good. All right. I'm gonna plate this stuff up. Family's coming home, go
in the other room and eat, and say grace. (country music) Hey, thanks, Burgers'
Smokehouse for the turkey, ordered up, we were
less than an hour, we're eating. And the Shafer
family, seriously, people out there
hunting this week, be careful. Shafer family. - Happy Thanksgiving. - Happy Thanksgiving. (harmonica) - [Announcer] Wings

bring two nets? - Well, mine's bigger. - Weird. It's all right. It's all about total
weight right now. - Yeah. - Let's weigh these
two up, quick. (upbeat music) - Hey, I'll tell you what, Kent. You know, it's just
like fishing goes, we actually got beat this year. - We did get beat. - By two very good fishermen. For sure. - If I'm gonna be
beat by someone, it might as well be
by these two clowns. - Right, and I'll

they bought us dinner. - No, I bought us dinner. - Oh, you bought us dinner. Well, you know what? One thing about it is that Kent, you and I, we always, we've
been squaring up with our debt, so what they actually win, is look at that. There you go, buddy. - Weren't we asking
