Is John Gillaspie from Wisconsin?

[Rost]

Now that is a true cheesehead!

[Sinker]

I guess I missed who that is.

He hosts a Fishing show. I can't remember what it is called. I watched it briefly this morning and could not believe they let this guy out in public! Seriously, he yells, hoots, and hollors like every fish caught was his first. Absolutely obnoxious.

[can it be luck?]

He does get excited doesn't he. Those "Dime Store Fisherman", now they can do some screaming and hollering! John does a lot of sponsoring for Zip lures, now there's an irritating song. Zippity do da zippity yea! How he gets other fisherman to sing it I dont know.....The power of cheese!

Oh,I see.I guess I've never seen the show.Too busy with all of the hunting and fishing opportunities here in WI.

[Rost]

Sorry Sinker- My original statement sounds like a Wisconsin slam. It was intended to be more of a joke. I think Wisconsin would be a cool place to live.

[can it be luck?]

I wasn't sure which way you were going with that, but thanks for clearing that up. Much appreciated!

The real good thing about John's show is that he films it on Sun, Mon, Tues and then the show airs on the next weekend. It's nice to know where the fish are biting.

Rost, no big deal.We're all friends on here.I like a joke just like the next dude.Just didn't know how to read into it.Anyway, I see you're from South Dakota.Up until last fall,a group of us went out there pheasant hunting for several years in a row.It was awesome hunting out there and met alot of nice people at the restaurants,gas stations,etc.It hasn't worked out the last few years but I hope to get out there again sometime.Take care.

I know what you mean about John filming days before the show. A couple of years ago John aired a show about ice fishing browns, if I remember right, it was a marina in Sheboygen. They caught a few browns on tip-ups fishing around the docks. This was the first episode I've ever seen of John's show. All the hooting and hollering when they caught a few fish got me all pumped up! That following weekend I made the trip down there to try my luck. I never saw so many people.....and so few fish. Talking to many fisherman I found out that 90% of them had watched John's show. It was one of my "scariest" fishing trips also. Half the marina/bay had open water and guys were setting up a few feet from it. The waves comeing in made the ice roll up and down like a giant wave. I even seen a few guys jumping from one ice chunk to another setting up tip-ups, crazy! Out of all those guys I seen one northern get caught, it probably got snagged running the "gauntlet" of lines.

Sinker-
Yeah, if you want pheasants...we got um! Especially this year! Went out last weekend and limited with ease. And where I live really is not even a prime area in SoDak. And you are right about the people being very nice and accomodating! In fact, I grew up in SW MN, came to college here in Madison and stayed after I was done. Hope to be here a long time. It is great! Right now the northern mallards are sworming like mosquitoes, pheasants everywhere, and the fish are rolling right along.

Rost, sounds pretty sweet.I read a state by state pheasant forecast somewhere before the season and it said some areas in S.D. expected a 120% increase in birds from last year.We were between Mitchell and Plankinton when we were out there.Take it easy and good luck hunting.

Rost , I'm a born and raised Cheesehead and your second post hits the nail right on the head ! LOL Nothing wrong with getting excited like he does ... I guess but if he was in my boat and he yelled " get the net " it would'nt be the landing net !!!! LMAO

BTW , His show is Wisconsins waters and woods. Truth be told he does show some good spots/action on most shows. It's the Spaz factor that kind grates on me.

can it be luck , John did the same thing for Petenwell. Before he did shows up there about 7 years ago I could go up there on a Sat to icefish Walleyes and see maybe 30 other people tops all day. I was up there once last winter and saw AT LEAST 2000 dudes out there. That fishery has really taken a beating since JG started airing shows about that body of water = sucks !
