Germain wins/Viebrock fourth
Brett Bader, Teagan Viebrock, Lucas Sedivy, Nick Carlson, Thomas Oswald, Matthew Germain and Logan Johnson from the Osceola Wrestling Club competed in the Wisconsin Youth Folkstyle State competition March 27-28. All seven wrestled very well and represented Osceola with great sportsmanship, losing with pride and winning with humility. Viebrock placed fourth and Germain earned a State Championship. Germain’s win hasn’t been done in more than 10 years for the club. His opponents did not score any points at both the regional and state.
Honest anglers – fact or ďŹ ction?
W
e all know anglers are the most honest people on earth. They never lie, exaggerate, spin lines or tell stories. Every angler knows truth from fiction. Why did Jesus pick fishermen to be apostles? It’s obvious: anglers are dedicated, brave; they will never complain about the weather and will fish in stormy weather! Come on ‌ The apostle Peter tried walking on water during a violent storm! Take Brady Boy for example, my 6-year-old kindergartener stepson, who is becoming an avid angler and son I love. His Grandpa Carl gave Wild River him a tip-up for Christmas and we set that tip-up with a nice shiner hoping Trails to hook a big pike that Brady could Jim Bennett fight and hopefully land. We chose a lake that has lots of smaller pike so we figured our chance of hooking up Brady with a fish were pretty good. After a few other flags popped off in the distance, Brady’s tip-up flag popped close to where we were taking some pan fish. Josh set the hook and handed the line to Brady who battled the pike and got it onto the ice where he held it and posed for pictures. We broke out the tape measure and got an accurate 21� measurement. No way was Brady going to put that fish back. It had to be taken home, showed off and
then eaten. I thought that was the end of the story. Recently we were talking about his BIG PIKE when I realized that he had added an inch to the length. Somehow the fish had grown to 22 inches. I did not correct Brady because I was smiling inside wondering if he had just forgotten the size. After all, he is just a kindergartener or is he becoming a real fisherman? Is fishing exaggeration a disease that we might need to treat, or is he just a little kid who often turns his d’s and b’s around and had just forgotten it was 21� and not 22� long? Now that spring is almost here, Brady and I have been talking more about fishing. His dream is to go to the Boundary Waters with me and I just might take him for a couple days. We checked rods and reels and tried to figure out a day that didn’t interfere with his school and my work. So far that mixture hasn’t been cooked up so our trip is still in the planning stages. We also talked about the fishing poster for Brady’s room. The poster lists all the fish around the United States that you can catch in fresh water and salt water: sunfish to snapper, salmon to sailfish, crappie to blue marlin and, of course, northern pike. Brady looked at me and with a straight face said, “We have to get that poster hung up and write down the size of my pike, 25 inches! But we have to write it in pencil because I am going to catch a bigger one this sum-
