it's fishing canada live look at us there we are look at that shirt on you jimmy where's
0:58
my finger look at that shirt on you there by the way you're looking good hey by the way if i look a little sunburned
1:05
i've been messing around with the camera oh look at you guys ontario canada nice by the way
1:12
those are uh the old goldfish shirts we thought we would uh pull them out of the archives as it were we used
1:18
to wear these in in england when we were doing the uh uh there so and if you're wondering who
1:25
we are we got our names on our jerseys too there wherever the hell they are there it's all backwards there you go so that's angelo and i'm pete hi
1:32
so like i said at the beginning uh just before we went live i decided to mess around with my camera a little bit
1:38
and that's why i look like i'm glowing
1:43
look like a nice sunburn going on there buddy yeah maybe uh maybe uh during the the broadcast we can have
1:49
somebody work on a professional work on my camera and get it back to where it was good luck with that one hey welcome to
1:57
the show as you can tell we are pumped uh the very first um element the very first segment of the
2:04
great ontario getaway giveaway contest we have our five winners all ready to go i believe
2:12
if i'm not mistaken based on some of the notes i got uh we're going to have some of them on with us live when we uh
2:19
when we bring them up that'll be a very cool yeah i can tell you before we get into any
2:25
any detail i can tell you right now that the vast majority of the players
2:31
did not get it and uh we're gonna spend a bit of time right
2:37
now before we give away the trips and all that just to make sure that we're all on the
2:42
same page because uh we had a ton of people entering but they didn't do it right
2:49
they didn't get the idea every month we have a theme so every month that theme is going to
2:56
change the theme for this past uh segment was uh how did you cope with the outdoors
3:03
how'd you cope with the pandemic with the outdoors et cetera right how did the outdoors help you
3:08
get through the pandemic and the ones that got it got it real good but the vast majority
3:14
did not and consequently they may or may not have um you know what we need to do and but
3:22
we need to do you and me see i play at the right that see i'm pointing the wrong way to get you by the way see
3:28
i got you what we need to do on this is we need to somehow make it more valuable in in votes or
3:36
whatever for them to make the theme if you're making the theme like we'll have to figure this out somehow to do it
3:42
fair for everybody but so that everybody gets in on the new theme the next four themes that we're going to do
3:48
to make it really significant instead of all over the place because this was an experiment for us to begin with right
3:54
off the bat and i mean some of the people that did really well also had nothing to do with the the pandemic
4:00
theme they did well because they garnered the votes they did their work and they got their books and all that so it'd be really nice to get it all working together
4:05
and uh and having everybody stick with the theme sort of thing so we'll work on that but i don't know
4:12
what i think we should do is have some of the folks who are on with us by the way hi everybody if i didn't say
4:17
hi to you already i sometimes forget that um but maybe we should have
4:23
uh folks tell us how their experience was with the first leg of this contest you know where they had problems what
4:29
they didn't understand what we should maybe do to to maybe streamline or or make it uh no
4:34
let me take that back a lot of a lot of you have been you know letting us know that that you're not
4:40
very happy with this contest because it's too hard
4:45
i i don't want to hear the too hard part okay that that's to me that's crazy
4:51
um i want to hear i want i want something constructive i want you to say hey listen i didn't get the theme why
4:59
didn't you make the theme a little bigger so that i could truly understand it because that was a problem by the way but
5:07
too hard is not the answer this is not hard come on we're giving away a hundred
5:14
thousand dollars worth of trips to northern ontario trips of a lifetime
5:19
and it's too hard to go to the internet and fill in some blanks and put up a picture
5:26
and write a paragraph put together a paragraph of words if that's too hard for you
5:33
i don't know what else i can tell you um this is probably not the contest for you
5:38
let's put it that way okay not that we don't want you here with us but but i just i the fact that some folks
5:45
are saying is too hard it just blows my mind but that's fine that's me they may not be
5:50
watching us today anyways i have no idea i mean obviously they might have been have they've already given up on us but
5:56
i gotta say i just want to say on the sidebar they're freddie waszilowski if that's freddy and
6:02
freddie you're the guy that messaged me this morning if so just give me a thumbs up or whatever i just saw sorry about that i just wanted to
6:07
freddie and i have been in conversation uh i think it was him that were talking today about speckled trout so
6:12
that's cool so um so let's start with that first before we tell you what the new theme is
6:19
and how you enter and and all that stuff uh maybe maybe guys you can put up some comments the
6:25
folks are making regarding their experience here uh this month this past month
6:31
uh on on the first leg of the contest and we'll try and deal with each one of them as we go i can tell you uh one thing
6:38
we had contestants from all across the country and it was absolutely
6:45
outstanding uh we we were overwhelmed with the amount of response uh we got on this by the way uh even
6:52
with the fact that the first three or four days we were virtually
6:58
um i think we were almost shut down we had some some technical issues with
7:04
the site when it first went up and and the the team was working feverishly around the clock getting it
7:10
up and running and maintaining it and and it kept crashing and we kept maintaining and stuff so
7:15
so we know we we um aggravated an awful lot of folks during that period
7:20
and we do apologize for that but you know what it's brand new and it's like it's like anything else you know we have to go through
7:26
our i think we we're through all of the main technical uh parts of these seems like it yeah it
7:33
does seem like i'm seeing a couple of comments here um one was i was on my phone
7:39
six or seven times with nick before it got fixed but it did get fixed i don't think it's going to be that bad from
7:45
here on in um you know the richard burns says having a problem signing in
7:50
signing up but you got to remember too there's a little button there you need help you can click that button and then the boys and our guys nick and
7:56
jordan are they're working feverishly on keeping this wheel uh rolling in a round fashion instead of
8:02
a square fashion because i'll tell you what it's there's i mean you got to remember that this is a new world for ants and i
8:09
too them going from tv to digital from digital to contesting to all that kind of stuff it's all new to us we're just
8:15
so we're all learning here i mean yeah yeah we want to be professional but the only way you can be professionals to learn right so you go
8:21
an electrician doesn't uh go out there and work on live the first day you ever is out in the field so you know you shouldn't do
8:27
that anyways but uh somebody here uh alice alyssa
8:33
alicia i think downey uh i had no problem with this contest that's nice to
8:38
hear and a lot of people were telling us that that they had no problem with it so so i don't think it was something uh
8:44
that everybody that was an issue with everybody but uh you know what the people that are uncle jackson some of us
8:50
aren't too smart you have your first and last name put your shirt as a reminder
8:59
uh i'm glad he said us just because i know i know jack and i i do i do like conversing with jack's
9:05
girlfriend by the way or she she and i have a special language together yeah yeah i bring all the best from her yes i
9:12
did oh good good good good yeah doug atkinson good friend of the radio show doug used to tune in every
9:18
saturday morning on uh outdoor journal on the fan 590. uh he says now now if doug says this
9:24
believe me okay he says it wasn't difficult at all and uh all he did was follow the prompts and
9:30
went right through into registration so [Music] i'm i'm glad uh i'm glad we're hearing
9:37
that um but there were folks who had some problems there's no doubt about it so here's
9:43
let's just sort of explain we'll walk through the process first thing you have to do when you
9:49
enter the fishingcanada.com contest area is that you have to set up
9:54
an account you can't play this uh this contest unless you have an account on fishingcanada.com
10:02
now a lot of you had accounts already but for the most part there were
10:07
elements within those accounts that were missing and therefore when you went to register with your old account
10:14
it was telling you that you couldn't so you have to go in regardless of whether
10:20
you have an old account or not you have to go in and fill in all of the blanks and without that
10:28
you can't play so once you've done that then you enter into the actual game part where
10:35
you start downloading your image by the way i was very disappointed although you
10:41
could we had we had uh video capabilities i don't think anybody with the exception
10:47
of one that came in really early was video everybody put in uh submitted photos which by the
10:54
way were absolutely outstanding incredible array of photos and thank you very much for uh for putting those out
11:01
there uh but nobody put on a video we thought pete and i really thought and it might happen before this contest
11:08
is over it might happen we could see somebody you know sitting on a boat out in the lake or in his backyard wherever in the garage
11:15
and on his phone delivering a real heartfelt uh for that last theme a cobid message and nobody
11:22
did uh so it might be a just just say it it might be a great way for
11:30
somebody to get a lot of votes you put out a nice little video you might just say everybody go oh my god there's a video look
11:37
nice i'm gonna vote there so you never know right so there's a lot of good comments here
11:42
too you know what i mean uh uh one person said there needs to be a cap on the size of
11:49
the story which there is he said some are too long and some are too short there is a cap on that
11:55
if it's too short and it's only as short as the people want to make it if they make a good compelling story in a very
12:01
short one little quick paragraph that's fine it's up to the people writing it too right but there is a cap on it just to
12:07
let you know on that so you have to remember what that story is for you know you're trying to garner
12:13
votes and aside from trying to garner votes in order to win this contest we're
12:20
hoping that your messages connect with people we're hoping that
12:25
you know if listen if just one person reads a compelling story or a compelling message that one
12:32
of you posted and that one story made the difference in that person's life
12:38
and they went from a state of depression to a state of of happiness and joy
12:44
then this contest has worked it's not just about getting money to the lodge operators
12:49
although that's a big part of why we're doing this but listen these are tough times and as we've been
12:55
used to seeing and reading about mental health is every bit as important as
13:00
physical health and so what these stories are supposed to do is make people smile we envision
13:09
people going on this thing every day and getting a smile out of somebody's
13:14
story and if we can all do that if if every single one of us can get a smile from one person once a
13:20
day think about it because we've got thousands of you that are in this contest so think about it
13:25
think how much joy and happiness we can spread so when you're writing those stories yeah it's you're in a hurry i know
13:32
everybody's busy but one sentence that's not
13:38
that's not enough right you've got it you've got to move somebody with that story because that one person that you move
13:43
could also be that one vote that made the difference between ending up in the winner's circle and outside
13:51
looking at so judge yourself accordingly same with the image
13:56
yes ellen the videos can be used we did say that and i want to go to to brett our deals uh comment here i
14:03
tried submitting a photo and a video only the photo got published though and that would
14:08
to me i'm guessing that if the photo you did the photo first you can't submit twice brett so if you
14:14
did your photo it went through and got submitted and you tried to do a video on top it would probably just get ousted out because you're already in try a video
14:21
first next time and see if that works yeah i don't know whether you can do both pete
14:26
um that's something that that's a jordan question and maybe not even a jordan question i
14:33
don't know whether you can put both up a video and a photo so i think if you sent if you send both of them in
14:39
i think you're at the mercy of whoever is approving that particular entry that
14:44
moment to put the best one up that they think is right so so you know what we suggest if you
14:51
have both that pick the better of the two whichever you one you think is a better image or portrayal and put that one up
14:59
at least first if nothing else so that's what i would try tony uh
15:04
kozinoski has an interesting point maybe we can address that one
15:10
uh he says stories is good i don't it kept moving on me there
15:15
where'd he go uh anyways he said stories is good but it shouldn't be about the stories
15:21
in order to win about who wait but it shouldn't be about who likes it the most wins the contest i don't get
15:28
it i don't i don't understand that so tony if you can maybe elaborate on it we'd
15:34
love to to discuss it and and see if we can you know wade our way through that one
15:40
but but see it is about the seed this contest is different
15:46
all the contests that we've had for the last almost three years on fishingcanada.com have been the luck
15:52
of the draw and yes the more ballots you put in the higher your chances and likelihood
15:58
and probability factors start kicking in that you could be drawn but it still is a random draw and
16:03
therefore it's all about luck this contest is a little bit different it has a lot of moving parts and one of the most
16:10
important ones is that you have to earn the win these five people that we're going to
16:15
introduce you to here in a moment they earned it make no mistake about it
16:20
these five winners they earned it we could see it every day these folks worked hard
16:26
to win these wonderful trips this wasn't by chance and by luck and by golly
16:32
they worked hard so uh this is not a contest where where where everybody you know everybody wins
16:38
and it's all uh by guest by golly no you got to work it and if you're not prepared
16:44
i said that at the top of the show if you're not prepared to work it chances are real good that you're you're not going to win however having said
16:51
that one of the exciting things about this contest that we noticed is that you can go from last place to first
16:58
place in the blink of an eye
17:03
we've seen you guys we've been watching this every day for the last 29 days and we have seen it when all of
17:11
a sudden things click in and people say oh okay all right let me call
17:16
let me call my my buddy bill and because he's he's got uh four or five buddies that we we go
17:22
fishing with what's here let me give them a call and get them to vote for me and all of a sudden boom somebody goes from last place to first
17:28
place overnight so it it's all about getting votes and and and there's two ways of doing it
17:34
number one you can rely on your circle of people and number two you can
17:40
rely on the people within this group within this community by compelling
17:45
story great visuals so there's a there was another comment that
17:51
they said about this the photo size uh yeah malcolm said problem with photos
17:57
and videos you have to shrink the size was a big problem now the photo thing is pretty much taken care of it's five
18:03
megabyte size file now uh video i'm not sure because the five meg video is a small video that's for
18:09
sure so i don't know about that one maybe jordan or nick
18:14
they can figure that one out i could say an answer or we'll figure that one out but but before it was a size of an image
18:21
because we even tried doing stuff on another part of the new site here and we couldn't even get our own images up and that's all basically that's all
18:27
it was was the file size so if you're if you uh have any way of looking at this file size of your
18:33
photo for information for metadata whatever it is just take a look as long as it's less than five megabytes it'll go up so
18:39
there's gabriel videos go on youtube so gabriel is one of our people behind the scenes that's working with us as well one of
18:46
our web hosts sir so uh thanks gabe for that so video's going youtube so
18:52
gabe if you're listening size of the videos shouldn't matter then really or does it maybe you can answer that question as well because
18:59
uh you say the video is youtube link you will have to upload your video to
19:04
youtube then insert the link to your entry okay so now about the size of that that
19:10
shouldn't be that should be irrelevant then so it might sound a little difficult to people too guys like
19:15
angela we might not be able to do that but i uh heather ray's been asking some questions i don't know
19:20
whether we've addressed her questions guys but uh i noticed one of hers was i think uh pretty interesting we should
19:27
look at it and that is that she's saying you know there are groups up there who who will vote for each other um
19:34
contest groups and they have thousands of members and they will they will win uh one thing
19:40
i can tell you heather and it's it's possible right it's possible one thing i can tell you is
19:45
that our team is on this thing night and day they're very vigilant
19:50
if something looks a little suspicious uh such as that type of uh activity
19:57
uh i i feel very confident that it won't last very long it might get by one one day but it's not going to last
20:05
very long so that's not having said that you know we encourage
20:11
if you've got a large social group that you influence we encourage you to get them to vote for you because that's the whole
20:18
premise behind the contest however we certainly don't encourage uh
20:23
signing up to contest groups who sell their services for that right if you know what i mean does that
20:30
make sense if it does all i'm saying is we're on it we we keep an eye out for that kind of activity
20:36
and i'll tell you what going to going to that angel and i found out the hard way um answers we didn't talk about this at
20:42
all and i found out the hard way about quote contesters okay so there are
20:47
people out there that just do contests and this is back before the internet and but they'd send it they'd fill in
20:53
the ballot they'd fill them whatever it was they could do and mail it in and get the contest so we were on a trip to mexico we did a trip
21:00
to mexico yes we had uh and we had a musk all trip and it was in a day on the ocean with
21:07
engine pete exotic big game fishing wow this is uh this is awesome you know what i mean
21:13
the winner it's on there it was it was a guy from canada i think was from maybe from the west whatever and he uh
21:20
he was all pumped to go fishing oh my god this is great this is the best prize i've ever won sort of thing like that only one of the prizes oh yeah
21:26
he said what do you mean he said i go in all contests i go in every contest i possibly can so we thought how did you hear about
21:32
this contest i read about it somewhere it boiled down to he didn't know who the hell we were he had never watched the
21:38
fish in canada show once in his life he didn't give a about us he didn't care it was a professional contest
21:44
that we had to take out on the ocean fishing unfortunately and to take one of one of our fans and one of our friends
21:49
whatever you want to call our group here away from the best day on the water so there are professional contesters out there you can't get past
21:56
that and the internet i'm sure it's making it even easier and and and heather basically just confirmed what you said she says that
22:02
she belonged to such a group prior to this and uh she got out of this world yeah
22:07
yeah it's unfortunate there was two issues that was one and the other one wasn't a contest that that
22:15
we were at manaki lodge back in the glory days of manaki lodge and the same thing happened we were up
22:21
there with two contestants from uh from one of the contests that back then and and the same thing was a mother and
22:28
daughter and neither one of them had ever seen the show before earlier and now and put you in such a
22:35
weird obviously we can you know kind of fit in with the
22:41
best of them but it's really difficult in cases like that where we know these people aren't here
22:47
for us it has nothing to do with us yeah yeah i mean that guy that i was talking about mexico was a great we ended up having a
22:54
great time with him but i still talk about this story he does not he did not deserve to win that you know in my in my opinion he doesn't he gets he
23:02
he on paper he deserved to win it but certainly not as a good feel-good thing so nancy is saying that uh it seems like
23:10
this is a popularity contest um you don't know part of it is
23:19
part of it is yeah if you're you're trying to get like what you're saying and you're getting a community of people then absolutely it has to be a popularity
23:25
contest right but you know if i was if i if it was me if i was entering this contest
23:32
and maybe i didn't have a large social footprint there's one here
23:39
there's one that we're building here on this site i would work at getting those people to
23:45
vote for me because every one of those people have five votes every day that they can cast they have
23:51
to cast them for somebody they're gonna they're gonna put them out there for somebody i'd make sure it was me you know what i
23:58
mean so yeah and but wait wait and i'm seeing a lot of these people that jerry's
24:04
agreeing with nancy so there's jerry there's nancy and there's tony and they're all kind of pissed off here i can tell but you got to remember people that
24:12
every vote you do in this contest without even putting a picture in without even entering it you get a
24:17
chance at a lodge too a trip too a lot of people are going to win by just voting
24:22
so this truck this contest isn't just about submitting a photo and soliciting all your friends blah
24:27
blah blah if you want to just vote five times a day vote five times a day but five times a day just keep going you've got a great chance at winning one of
24:33
these law strips too so remember that read all spiola what's that
24:39
read all the words viola what was that guy's name was that teacher now over the hills alvin hills read all
24:46
the pages in the book viola yeah i want to remind people about that
24:51
let's not lose sight of the fact that there is a portion of this contest that will be more of a traditional
24:58
fishingcanada.com event in that it will be a random draw and that is at the end of the fifth uh
25:05
segment the fifth month once all of the uh 25 or 30 whatever
25:12
30 i guess uh winners have been uh have been announced then we're
25:18
going to put all of the boats as pete said all of the boats go in a box in a drum and a virtual drum and we're
25:25
going to draw them live here on air with you and those folks are going to get a trip for two
25:30
uh to northern ontario as well so it's a good point that you make pete because i keep forgetting and losing
25:36
sight of that it's just as important to cast a vote as it is to receivable vote at the end
25:42
of the day if you don't want to do all the hard work or or maybe is that hard as well like just
25:49
coming on the site and casting votes every day if that's difficult too
25:55
i don't know there aren't any more elements other than that well that was basically you got to do that once a day on our
26:00
last contest right so you've got five more chances this time i'm sorry i apologize to heather tony
26:07
and jerry if i i mean i said you're all pissed off and i could see jerry uh he wasn't he wasn't a creative fist
26:13
i'm sorry it's just a matter of we do we have got a lot of mail in behind the scenes too that are people are really really uh
26:20
not happy with us so i shouldn't really point any fingers and all that kind of stuff i'll take that back i don't you guys aren't pissed off
26:26
you're just concerned how's that i get it i get you brother
26:32
all right uh let's get on to the new contest shall we i think we unless there's something else that i'm missing here that i can't
26:38
see i think everybody is kind of agreeing that that um that uh it's a fun contest and
26:44
you're having a good time and and hopefully oh jack what's jack saying there i just finished uh it's jack's poppycock don't
26:51

27:11

27:17
winners here shortly in fact a couple of them are going to join us live so that's going to be very cool
27:23
and they can share with you their story and their overview on on how they won now keep in mind these
27:29
five folks at one they're out of the contest so they're not your competition anymore so anything
27:34
you can get from them is going to be bonus just just want you to know that they'll be with us here
27:39
shortly um but let's go to the new theme remember we said that each month we'll
27:45
have a theme and a lot of you missed that on the first one so this is your chance to get
27:50
it right this time so the last month's theme was how have you used the outdoors to help you
27:57
cope with pandemic and some of you did a great job some of you didn't now's the time to fix that
28:03
this theme is very simple i like this i like this new thing could not be easier and think of all of
28:09
the great messaging that we can deliver with this theme the theme is very simple
28:15
if you should be lucky enough to win one of these trips who would you
28:21
take with you because it's for two who would you take with you and why and the underlying word in that
28:29
is why why would you take that person with you on a trip of a lifetime you have
28:37
hundreds of people to select from but you're taking that one person we want to know why what does that
28:43
person mean to you in order to do this because listen if you're into fishing if you're
28:48
into the outdoors if you're into what we're into making that selection of that one person
28:54
of all the people in your circle taking that one person man that person is really special
29:00
and we want to know why so that's the theme who will you take with you when you win and
29:06
why simple um obviously images of you and that person would be
29:12
great images of that person would be great video would be fantastic because then
29:18
you could really deliver the message a heartfelt message and most importantly
29:24
if it's just one line my brother bob because he's my brother i can pretty
29:29
much guarantee you unless you've got i don't know a social web that that is
29:35
several thousand people thick and you can convince them all to vote for you you're not going to win you need to tell
29:42
us why right so um
29:47
hey i just noticed did you look look at this the fishing cannon logo here the fisher canada logo up there
29:52
wow you're special right look at that ladies and gentlemen boys and girls children of all ages the fish in
29:57
canada's show and a little while along people there you go sorry we have uh we have our number one and
30:05
number two uh spot winners uh ready to go anytime you want to do it answers
30:10
oh perfect they're sitting in the wings and we're ready to go so one and two one and two so far
30:17
one and two well one and two how many more times do i need to say
30:24
it no they probably won't come on now exactly yeah all right so uh without further ado uh we have
30:31
winners one through five to announce we're gonna announce them one at a time and the reason being is that those
30:38
winners don't know where they're going yet because the next step to this we don't either well we don't either nobody does
30:44
next step for this is that we're going to draw out of a multitude of lodges that have
30:52
uh participated in this event and by the way they continue to participate every day we're getting new
30:58
new players in uh we are going to according to jordan i believe sometime today
31:05
if not already as we speak there will be a uh operator or lodge owner
31:12
section on the site where you'll be able to go in and see all of the lodges that are
31:17
participating in this and their story very close to being up i was working on some of the stuff with
31:22
the guys too this morning so we're really close on having that one and it's really cool because now you can
31:28
totally immerse yourself you can lose yourself in in reading all of their stories and
31:34
seeing all of their businesses and their locales and all of the fantastic adventures that they offer
31:41
and you can start fantasizing like you can start i know i've done it myself i had to go through all of these lodges to
31:46
start with and you start thinking oh man that would be great oh wait a minute this one here would be great and so now all of a sudden there's
31:52
another element to this contest and that is that if you should be fortunate enough to win
31:58
now you also have maybe in your mind a favorite place that you would like to go
32:04
that you've already read the last little while right so it's going to be really interesting over on the right lodge section is up
32:11
they say it's up right now so wow there you go and the hard work we
32:16
did this morning is all good to go yeah by the way just saying we don't we
32:21
have to choose the uh we have to choose the lodges now that's our next portion the next the five winners get
32:27
used by so we had a choice of uh of this 228 000 uh super electronic picking device
32:36
or all right or an internet specialist we thought we don't have the extra quarter million dollars so we got our
32:42
beauty little machine that we're going to be able to pick the winners with we'll show you that in a bit it's it's so it's so cool it's fun i
32:48
think i think it's great your head is great i have to say it's great i think we're all gonna you know that'll
32:54
probably be the whole the whole life of this cop the whole afterlife of this contest everybody going remember that with that
32:59
wheel like this spinny wheelie it's so good does it have the ranger or pico with any of the winners you betcha
33:06
tony tony you're not you're fighting tony you're gonna have to take angelo because you and i are fighting right now okay
33:14
i'd love to go with you tony my god we're gonna try and do something like that at the end too we are doing uh
33:19
we're working on that as well just to let everybody know that uh maybe on a finale draw or something like that we might be able to pull something off
33:25
and answer and i can get in on it too so it'd be kind of cool that would be a lot of fun for sure oh i think that's going to be great and it's
33:30
going to happen i know we've got a lot of sports uh celebrities that
33:35
we're in contact with that are all saying the same thing hey i'd love to go on some of these trips if you could hook me up so
33:41
we may we made from time to time we got five months this is a big event uh we may uh throughout the course of
33:47
this event do something special every once in a while and that would be one of them for sure but uh but we'll we'll see um all right so
33:55
let's just get it on buddy well further i do i'm going to announce to you uh the very
34:01
first winner and the reason it's important that we do it in order it's not just a matter of these five one
34:08
we're gonna we're gonna bring them out in order of of their victories because they get the
34:14
pick of the litter obviously winner number one is going to get all of the lodges that are in the drum
34:20
available to him in in this this uh this uh random draw
34:26
and once that draw is done that lodge is out of the contest no longer
34:33
available so it's that's another cool element of this too so that's why it's important to finish number one
34:39
because you also get your your your choice base is much larger i guess
34:44
it doesn't really matter it doesn't matter you're right it doesn't matter because it's wrong but because of the way the contest was
34:51
designed it's important that we do it in order so that technically you get a much broader range
34:56
of selection so yeah uh winner number one and and i will tell you that that this
35:03
young man and it is a young man by the way here's another little something you might be interested in uh
35:08
almost 40 of the entries were from female anglers which is very cool and something that we
35:15
are really pushing for don't be afraid to participate if you are
35:20
um a mom who wants to go fishing with with her daughter or son or or any any female
35:27
please we encourage you to enter these lodges that are in the this contest are all great for the
35:36
most part pete i know them they're wonderful people uh they are very family friendly and do not
35:44
think that you're going to be dragged into a a lodge or an operation
35:51
where it's nothing but neanderthals and all that a lot of these places now in fact cater more to families and
35:58
couples than they ever did uh before so uh make sure you enter
36:03
don't be afraid all right winner number one and in first place from day one
36:09
if i may add which was kind of the gate right out of the gate right he did it he did his work for sure
36:16
his name is uh cooper gallant congratulations cooper first place
36:23
now we uh we personally know cooper and he is an avid angler there is no doubt
36:29
about it he's from actually right close to us uh bowman military i believe and uh and cooper is a fishing nut he
36:37
really is a fishing net and he's a very successful angler he does some youtube uh video too
36:43
but he's a successful tournament angler as well he's a multi-species dangler he's he like lately he's been posting closed up
36:49
her post of uh steelhead that he's been doing now he's gonna put the steelhead rod down and start moving on again like that so
36:55
he's these are not it's just that that's if i could jump in because that sounded terrible so let me i know you didn't mean it that
37:02
way people let me just jump in before the avalanche starts uh when pete says we know cooper
37:08
uh i i've met cooper once just to make it clear we met pete and i
37:13
were we're at a we're at a uh uh angling friend's uh home in uh out around belleville
37:21
somewhere and he was he was there uh so i don't want anybody thinking oh
37:26

37:31
because it sounds bad yeah but our people here are gonna
37:37
they're gonna see you past that congrats whoever's gonna say congrats cooper tyler cooper is our best friend folks

40:56
job at their editing too yeah it's a really really good cooper show thank you are you going to uh are you guys going
41:02
to document your trip you're going to do some video absolutely that was kind of our whole
41:07
right from the beginning we're like well if we can win this that would be a great opportunity for us to
41:12
film one of our road trip videos we're doing five a year so we already put one out and um depending on when this trip is
41:19
going to be it's definitely going to be one of the five episodes perfect so here's what's going to happen

41:44
between the two of you you're going to you know go down this slippery slope that we find ourselves in
41:51
with with uh with the pandemic and figure out what the best time is for for both of you right and we do want to
41:58
stress the importance of making this a safe and enjoyable outing meaning that
42:03
that that nobody's going to be forced to do any traveling that they're not 100 comfortable with all of
42:10
the operators that are in this event by the way have been selected they had to qualify
42:19
and one of the uh uh items that they needed to have was a a a tier one level
42:25
of um coveted protection or at least safety protocols put in place at their
42:31
operations so all of them are working under the protocols which is fantastic

45:17
good congratulations first of all um great work i'll tell you you almost
45:23
got into first place it was really close and we could see tyler that that um as the contest wore
45:31
on you started to get it you were understanding what it took what it was going to take to win
45:36
and uh congratulations outstanding thank you yeah i started to reach out to a lot more people family friends
45:42
my mom my dad their work a lot of people i got them involved a lot more with canada fish in canada too so
45:51
not us but tell people that are watching this how you did it how did you how did you
45:59
do it how'd you win i just i i don't know man i just i i got a lot of people involved i
46:04
i talked about you guys i talked about fishing and i just told them like you know you guys can go
46:09
you can learn like my wife and my daughters and i we would sit at night we'd all pick our own favorite stories and we'd all go through them and vote on
46:16
what we like to do right so i don't know it was just we turned it into a family thing and that's how i did it perfect it's a great
46:24
story i love it and you know when we were sitting together with the folks from uh from destination ontario and destination
46:32
northern ontario and noto putting this event together that's exactly what we wanted we wanted this to
46:37
become a family event where where you guys would get together and and and and get the votes going right
46:45
each each family member in our mind when we're doing the assessment you know each family member probably has capabilities
46:51
of four or five votes a day from people in their circles right that's it so that's the way we saw this
46:57
uh evolving so you you hit it bang on and it can stem like your circle to their circle to their circle
47:03
and it just gets going way it works like i've seen people were kind of upset in the comments like it's a
47:09
popularity contest but i'm not a popular guy so i live in hornpin algoma with you know 800 people
47:15
there you go you know i just i got online and reached out to everybody i knew and it went from there i loved your story by
47:23
the way you didn't give us what we wanted in terms of the pandemic no i realized that right but but but it
47:31
was a great little story right it involved your daughter et cetera a great shot by
47:36
i had the way i'm not a computer guy so it was hard to get it on youtube but yeah i got her reeling it in
47:42
and everything so oh that's cool yeah the the excitement on her face and that
47:47
image i was just priceless yeah she loves it oh she does she does my youngest one too so
47:52
you know what you're that's because and it's one of the things growing up in northern ontario you are
47:58
born into fishing and hunting in the outdoors there's no doubt about it i'm not saying yeah people not saying people don't love
48:05
it when they're from southern but i'll tell you what like my mom was a sudbury girl my dad was way up in sleep in ontario
48:11
and that's all it was is fishing and hunting and trapping the whole your siblings it's just it's
48:17
what you guys do yeah and you enjoy it right that's it that's it yeah tyler i've got a question for you i mean
48:25
you're you're you're in in comparison to where we are you're in a very remote part of the
48:31
province and my question is how are you guys
48:37
coping and dealing with the pandemic because it's totally different than uh what what's happening down here
48:42
obviously completely different up here um we get a lot of the backlash so like our schools everything's closed just
48:48
like you guys we haven't had a single case in our town now our porcupine health
48:53
unit we've had cases um but nothing like down there you know and
48:58
our grocery store is going shopping you know it's it's very hard we're limited to five people and it's
49:04
already a small enough store as it is uh everything just being closed it puts a burden on everybody here
49:10
because we're not we're not used to it every we're very uh what's the word i'm looking for everyone's very close here
49:17
it's a very tight-knit community so not being able to be close it puts a burden on people oh it must be
49:24
it must be very difficult i mean especially when you see for us it's not
49:30
i mean don't get me wrong it's difficult but but but it's not as difficult when you open the paper or go online or watch
49:37
the news every day and there's hundreds and hundreds of people infected right around you right
49:42
so you you can kind of get into the mindset that it takes to be in lockdown but for you that's got
49:50
to be really difficult it is like i'm used to going and getting firewood with a group of friends you know it's an outing and we can't even do
49:56
that stuff together anymore we get wood for for the older people that you know that need it
50:01
and you can't be can't be doing it together you know so it's hard yeah it's hard yeah well my friend all i
50:08
can say is uh uh there's better days ahead your your future days are looking pretty bright right now because uh on
50:15
on a few of those days it could be anywhere from three to seven uh you're gonna be someplace special
50:21
i'm so excited have you been have you been to a lodge no it's crazy my wife and i were
50:27
actually discussing going on one this year i actually reached out to agatch's i think you guys have been yeah
50:32
yeah yeah actually i reached out to them to do one and uh money's a little tight so we thought
50:37
maybe you know put it off till next year and i was like you know i'm really going to go hard in this draw and just try my
50:42
best how how is how ironic and crazy would it be if you want to get his kv cabins on
50:48
this on the wheel because they are on the wheel you know i was talking i was talking to him yesterday about
50:54
it i was like you know what just take it out if i win just hopefully you're not in there so he's in there here we go i know i know
51:01
he's in there um now what are the problems you're gonna have
51:07
there's a negative to every i'll find the negative to everything oh yeah trust me on that one how are you
51:13
going to decide who to take oh i've already decided it's my wife
51:19
you took the safe bet buddy you know what she actually said you know it's fair game take who you want
51:25
she wouldn't hold it against me but you know we've never uh never had a honeymoon never we have two young kids now so never had a time to get away
51:31
so you know what this is it excellent good choice buddy so excellent the only one thing left to
51:38
do let's do it yeah well this is what i've been looking forward to after i got that email

wow that's great tyler mcmullen how cool is that what is so great
52:54
everybody's got great stories this next one is a really great story uh in that
53:01
unlike most of these winners who are familiar with our brand
53:08
and are here because of our this one was very honest in their in
53:15
their uh story in that they didn't hear about this from us or even our circle our social footprint
53:22
they heard about it from the toronto sun there was a story
53:27
that joe warmington uh was kind enough our good friend joe warmington wrote a a great story about this event in um
53:35
one of the sunday suns or saturday sun newspapers and uh we thank him thank him for that
53:42
but uh what it did it opened up the contest to a whole other element that we maybe normally would not get
53:49
exposure to so um the number three winner in this contest is just one of those but what a
53:56
compelling story and i'll i'll let him come on and tell it uh in his own words is he here you might not be here
54:04
hi with us right okay right we had number one and two and i have not been formed of anybody else
54:11
informed by anybody else yet number five was supposed to be with us i'm not even sure if that person is here yet so
54:16
all right then let me read the story uh before i even announce the name it says this june uh we will uh my wife
54:23
and i will be married for 35 years 35 years ago we thought about doing a
54:29
northern fishing trip for our honeymoon unfortunately our finances at the time
54:35
wouldn't allow it i'm an avid angler and my wife likes to come along for the ride
54:40
she enjoys the scenery and relaxation this year we are planning a trip to northern
54:46
ontario to fulfill those dreams and we were thrilled to find out about this
54:53
contest through the toronto sun and they entered and they're going to
55:01
spend their 35th wedding anniversary which is this year northern ontario lodge just like they
55:09
wanted to do 35 years ago and here 35 years later ian lee and his wife mrs lee will be
55:17
going to a wonderful northern ontario lodge what a great story that way that's cool that that just shows you the
55:24
the power of the media too right right there right joe put that story out joe loved the sound of this
55:29
contest loved that story put that story out in the sun and uh and ian and his wife are now gonna
55:35
be going on a nice trip of a lifetime basically right you know i got criticized uh um
55:43
oh i think about two months ago that's it come on we've been criticized a lot
55:51
more interesting for god's sake hey hello from tobin lake
55:56
somebody was just saying hello from dublin lake okay daryl
56:03
i thought it was tobin lake hi daryl we don't have we don't have e and and we
56:09
don't have the next one either ants but we do have number fives but let me just can i just finish my story before you
56:15
jumped in and made me look like such an ogre can you hurry up i was criticized ago because when we
56:22
were starting to talk about this contest i said man i hope i hope you know people win that have
56:29
never been on a fishing trip before and i was genuine i meant it from the
56:35
bottom of my heart because peter and i have been blessed with the opportunity to go on these trips like
56:40
i don't know how many hundreds of them we've been on and sometimes we lose touch with reality and that is
56:46
that most people don't get to do what we do so i thought at that moment wouldn't it be great
56:52
if if part of the the side benefits from this contest is that we're able to touch
56:57
and connect with people who otherwise would never even dream of going on one of these trips well i
57:04
got letter a letter honestly it was just one but you know i take those one letters even more important when i take
57:09
the hundreds and they critique me for saying well that was not fair of you because you know my wife and i have been
57:16
on uh several in fact we try and go to a trip every year into the backwoods and you
57:22
you're kind of excluding us from uh from your wish list of winning and you're
57:27
you're uh stacking the odds against us to win and i thought that was rather bizarre
57:33
but as it turns out so far all three winners have never been
57:38
to one before so i guess my my dream is coming true right i'm reading number four too i'm not
57:45
going to let the cat out of the back but i don't think that one's not been there either by the sounds of things too so maybe i know uh where uh ian lee
57:52
and his wife are going on their 35th wedding at where is ian by from by the way do we know
57:59
uh it doesn't say there just says second honeymoon on the on the uh contest page but
58:06
uh maybe one of our crack research uh uh oh they're saying hell with you let's go
58:12
to the wheel let's find out where ian lee and his wife are going shall we
58:30
fantastic that is absolutely fantastic congratulations you know if you're watching this later
58:36
on at some time uh the crew will be uh getting in touch with you for sure uh so you will know that you've won your
58:42
prize and where you're going well done uh to you and your wife and you're gonna have a lot of fun for sure quiet peter
58:51
sorry number four oh we're going to number four okay i'll read the story first i like reading
58:56
this story first because it's nice and short i heard it said many times that a shore lunch is the one is one of the
59:04
highlights of a fishing trip with an outfitter that being said all i need is an island a guide and an outfitter for my dream
59:11
fishing trip and that winner that story was by diane
59:18
novel i'm going to call it novel i'm not sure about the speller the spelling but uh k-n-o-e-f-e-l
59:26
novel diane noble congratulations gracious diane winner number four and diane is not with
59:33
us as well there it is thank you look at that right there
59:39
oh my god that tastes so good you have no like diane's got it hit
59:44
the nail on the head all you gotta do is just catch one little pickerel you got that feed for yourself that is like
59:50
like oh my god it is so good the beans on there and that's right the tater's all getting hungry i
59:57
have often said if anybody could ever capture the essence of a northern outback shore lunch
1:00:05
and bottle it and they will make a fortune because i'm sorry in a cologne
1:00:12
no
1:00:19
if i wore that around this office i'd have all you guys follow me around a bunch of pigs come on think about it not that i want
1:00:27
you guys following me around to be honest okay but it's true and and what are the
1:00:32
the the um thrills of taking somebody into one of these places that are being
1:00:39
won here today and will for the next five months one of the one of the highlights is sharing a shore lunch with that
1:00:46
person who's never been before and having them enjoy that short lunch and just sitting back and watching it unfold in front of you oh of
1:00:54
doing that with my grandson nick a few years ago and uh i i got to tell you
1:01:00
it's it's one of the most moving experiences that an adult could ever have
1:01:05
it it's just uh it's just unbelievable and you can like my mother
1:01:13
was a fantastic fish cook my wife has now become a fantastic facebook and
1:01:18
i gotta say if i don't i don't cook a lot of stuff well but i do a good feed of fish the best meal you will ever
1:01:24
have in your house with fish doesn't compare at all to a shore lunch a well done shoreline it's
1:01:29
just and it's it can taste the exact same but it won't taste the exact same you will never realize it until you get out there and
1:01:36
the other thing about a shore lunch is go in with an empty belly because i guarantee you if you're half full from a
1:01:41
big breakfast you're still going to eat way too much anyway so you and i are ridiculous we got i guarantee you i got three
1:01:48
plates full every every store lunch at least the third plate is just fish it doesn't matter i eat so much for a little guy i
1:01:54
eat like unbelievable amounts it's so good so uh-oh honey call me tony schulis what's going

1:04:00
about this pandemic and she got it by the way she understood the the theme um i believe one of those
1:04:07
remarkable things about this pandemic is the increase in people that want to get outdoors
1:04:12
as a female fishing sales associate one of the greatest gifts the outdoors has to give me
1:04:18
was the opportunity to provide people especially women with the knowledge and gear to get into
1:04:24
fishing as an avid muskie angler myself nothing makes me happier than hearing stories
1:04:29
about uh customers catching their dream fish with great gear no matter how big or small it is

um to pursue my masters um and i've been up here ever since and i met my boyfriend he's a big angler um

1:06:41

1:06:47
lives on a boat yeah yeah exactly exactly so have you ever been to
1:06:54
one of our wonderful northern ontario operations uh in terms of like lodges yeah yeah um
1:07:01
i go to the french river quite a bit lunge lodge is where i actually caught that fish there in the west arm yeah
1:07:07
um quite a bit in georgian bay at mill lake lodge um that's one of my favorites i don't know if you've ever been there a great place
1:07:15
um awesome a little bit on the island as well um there's a little place called green bay lodge on manitou
1:07:22
been there quite a bit um but those are the most i mean we live super close i'm staying at a lodge usually it's just something like to do on the weekends for
1:07:28
fun um but mostly day trips how's how cold is uh looking in your area how
1:07:34
are you guys coping with it what's going on in the store working today yeah so we're
1:07:39
curbside so i mean you can still shop online or through the phone um but i mean people are still getting outside here i
1:07:45

were able to maybe forget for a fleeting moment exactly where we
1:14:48
are in our in our history with this pandemic maybe they were so focused on on getting involved in this contest
1:14:56
that that they were able to shed some of that weight and that darkness and that's what the contest is all about
