The Brad and Cole Show Produced by Brad and Cole Tadgerson Brad writes: "Cole, Kelsi, and I went fishing in our secret spot. The first day we didn’t catch nothing. We put the lure (that I lost -- it was my favorite lure and cole ran it over with the boat. But can't blame him for it -- I lost one before that and it was all my fault.) on the pole and casted it out. But when that one didn’t work, we tried a different one and when that one didn’t work we tried another and this process went on from 12 PM until 8 PM. But the second day, I myself caught two pike and my girlfriend, who likes to fish, caught a walleye. I went out in the boat and I put my lure on and I casted it out and within 20-25 minutes I had one on. It fought like me in my younger days. While all that was happening, I had a nice size perch on my pole at the dock, but it was bait and when I rowed to bring my 28” pike to shore, I had another pike on my pole that was at the dock. So I pulled that one in. It was just a little smaller and then I threw the bait back out in the water and went back in the boat. I was out there for a while then I got hungry, so I went back to shore and ate spaghetti. It was really good. Now remember, I still had my bait out in the water so I still had a chance to get another one. And it happened the bobber went down, but I was eating and Cole was done. So he ran down the hill grabbed the pole and he reeled and reeled, but the fish was so big it broke the 80 lb leader. Yep, Cole lost my fish that was on my pole. He should of let a man reel it in and then maybe, just maybe, we would have the fish here with us and have probably the biggest fish we ever pulled out of there. But the best time in the boat fishing is when I was about 13 or 14. I had my pole out in the water casting and I was just about to lift it out of the water and the biggest fish I had ever seen came out of the water. The head on this sucker had to be as big or bigger then a basketball. I'm telling you, this fish was huge. But any how, the fish broke my line as soon as it took my lure. Then later that day the fish must have been tuckered out after dragging that lure around and another guy in a different boat saw it surface with the lure in its mouth. He said that that was the biggest fish that he had ever seen, so this sucker was big. But any how this is my story on fishing and that is how our days went. P.S. We didn't really get any good film because the day we brang the camera we didn't catch nothing. Figures, hey."
