Fishing Opener Makes Splash in WI

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers opened the fishing season in Rice Lake. 

Evers and Lieutenant Governor Sarah Rodriguez took to the water in a friendly competition on who could get the biggest catch. It is tradition that the Governor visits a fishing community every year to kick off the season. The season runs now until the end of October. When the Governor and Lieutenant Governor returned, Rodriguez was declared the winner of the friendly competition catching a 21 and one half-inch northern pike. Evers caught one that was 19 and a half inches.
