But on day two of this tournament,
we actually had a lightning delay.
So we had a one hour delay going into the tournament.
A little bit shorter day, but we made it work.
What do you like about corn?
That was Kyle on that corn off the grill.
That corn was good.
Oh, I can tell you all about it.
That should be stuck in my head all day.
Just, and it goes viral.
Yeah.
Good morning.
Yeah.
All right, day two, La Crosse, Wisconsin.
The mighty Mississippi River.
Yesterday we did exactly par.
I think we are dead on the cut line in 47th place.
So 12 more pounds today.
That's what I had yesterday, by the way,
is 12 pounds on the dot, on the nose.
12 more pounds today, and I get to go fishing on day three.
But it won't do a lot better than that.
I've had a bad year, and if you win this one,
you get to go to the classics.
So I really need to catch one of those 15, 16 pound bags
and get myself back in contention
where if I catch a couple more good bags,
I can win this thing.
But all we can catch is what bites.
So let's just put them all in the boat today.
We can go fishing on day three.
That's number one.
Like 10 feet to the right.
One four.
You know what?
I even saw it blow up.
We got it like the exact same.
I can't tell if they got it or not.
Baby dog.
Take me some of that right there, dude.
Give me the two and a half.
I'll be back in my, right here?
I missed a little tree.
What's going on?
I can't see it.
Put her in the bag.
Baby.
He's got something in his belly right now.
Leave it in there.
Those are like short and fat.
Is that the biggest one?
Thank you.
13, 14.
No, I don't think it can be that much.
13 pounds.
All right, let's get, sorry.
I didn't mean to scroll that one down.
Let's get our next angler up here.
All the way from Alabama.
He is a Bassmaster Classic qualifier.
Stone Cold Kyle Welcher.
Who won the 50-50?
I didn't see anyone celebrate.
They're running from the cows.
Tax implications of $126.
13 pounds and nine ounces gives him 25 pounds and nine ounces.
Puts him in sixth place currently.
So 25 pounds and nine ounces.
Is it enough to get back up there again tomorrow?
I believe it will be.
I mean, I'm hoping.
A little bit shorter day today.
I'm not anticipating the weights going up too much,
but you know, I was smart today.
I was able to catch a couple big ones.
Like I said yesterday, I was a dead carp.
Today, I don't know if that quite counts
as a birdie with 13 pounds,
but we locked that sprout frog in her hand
and we ended up getting a couple good bites on the day.
It ended up being pretty key.
It's mind-blowing to me here.
The difference in a two-pounder and a three-pounder
is like half an inch long,
but it's like 10 more inches around.
They just get a whole lot fatter here.
I mean, when you catch one in the water,
you have no idea how big it is until you weigh it.
It's always a nice surprise when you weigh it.
It's like three pounds.
Hopefully, we'll get it tomorrow
and try to get a four or five-pounder.
Love to see you here all the way to Tournament Monday.
Aren't you impressed?
Wish I'd met you when you got here.
Absolutely.
We were on a fishing team, so I'm like,
oh, we'll raffle this off
at the end of the last tournament of the year.
Did you give me that?
Yeah, I did.
Thank you so much for taking the time.
Yeah, absolutely.
Long ride.
It was.
I'm from central Minnesota.
I have a 7'6 largemouth there.
That's a big one from Minnesota.
I need one of those tomorrow here.
Perfect.
Thank you.
A little man cave.
There we go.
So I can't mess it up then.
It's gotta be pretty if it's going on the wall.
I mean, we'll see.
I've seen my penmanship, so I can't.
I don't have no room to judge.
Mine's terrible, too.
Thank you.
Hey, you, man.
Have a good one.
Check out this YouTube channel.
Appreciate it.
Yep, absolutely.
That's one of the cooler things I've seen.
There you go.
