Secret Agent K-7 returns. America's number one adventurer, K-7, formed a United States secret agent who operated in 22 countries on land, on sea, and in the air, brings you a story of today. We take you to Secret Agent K-7's headquarters. This is K-7 speaking. Send in Special Agent B-9 for assignment. Special Agent B-9 reporting for duty. Agent B-9, certain officers of this country's intelligence department, have uncovered a letterbox agent in this city. Spies leave correspondence to be picked up later by other spies. These records contain all the known facts. You will have to work without your assistant, Miss Drake, as I have assigned her to other duties. I suggest you contact L-6. Keep the letterbox under close observation. You may gain information that will lead us to an important spy ring. Keep me informed. Agent B-9 left K-7's office and immediately contacted Agent L-6, who had been instrumental in uncovering the letterbox. They, too, discussed the case and the steps to be taken. L-6, how much do you know about this letterbox agent? Quite a bit, B-9. As you know, I've specialized in ciphers and codes. Yes. When intelligence officials first began to suspect the address, we now know as the letterbox. All mail being delivered there was first brought to me. You read everything? Yes. Surprisingly, the spy who operates this information drop is a young girl. A young girl? Yes. Her name is Brenda Corth. As I said, I've read all of her correspondence. So I know quite a bit about her. She's an orphan. She lives alone. And as far as we know, I had a spotless record until several months ago. I see. You've seen her? Yes, from a distance.  She just doesn't look the part. Or acted either. Why, her neighbors all think a lot of her. I've been in this business long enough to know that looks are deceiving. You're sure this girl doesn't know you? Positive. She never even see me. Good, L-6. I have a plan. It may work. Spies who operate letterboxes or information drops often serve more than one nation. I want you to go to this Brenda Corth. Tell her you represent another power. Ask her to act for you. It might work. It's a chance. See her this afternoon. In the meantime, I'm going to set up a watch in her apartment day and night. Miss Corth is going to serve as a trap. And we may capture some big game. A few hours later, Agent L-6 called on Brenda Corth, the young blonde girl whose apartment saw many strange visitors. She seemed more like a schoolgirl than spy. L-6 came directly to the point. Yes?  Who are you? Or have you not used the usual greeting? I don't know the greeting. However, I believe the name Lota Roan may be familiar to you. Who, Lota? She sent me here. She told me that perhaps you would help me. Come in. Is it safe to talk here? Yes. Miss Corth, I'm doing some rather confidential work for a certain country. I'm off and out of the city for many weeks. I need an address where mail can be sent to me. Lota Roan suggested that I see you. She said you could be trusted. Perhaps I can help you. My work is confidential and important. If you will accept mail for me and forward it from time to time to addresses that will be furnished, I'll pay you 100 pounds a month. 100 pounds? We prefer to use English banknotes. I'll pay you in francs if you'd rather have them. What is more than I have ever received? You've done this type of work before, haven't you? I merely said that 100 pounds is more money than I have ever received before. Well, I'm prepared to pay you for the first month now. Well, wait. I haven't said that I would accept. First, I must know the nation you serve. And if I refuse to tell you? I am afraid that I can't help you. I see. I prefer not to mention names. However, lean toward me. I will whisper. I am sure you will find working with us. What are you doing with a gun?  If you move, I'll shoot you. Miss Corth, I don't understand. Well, then I'll explain. The nation you serve is responsible for my father's death. He was beaten, thrown into a concentration camp. He died.  No, no, wait, wait. Let me explain. Oh, your people didn't let my father explain. Turn around. Keep your hands up. Now, now I have your gun. Turn back towards that closet door. But Miss Corth, I warn you. Back into that closet. Step in, I said. That evening, the young spy received another visitor, a man well known in the world of international intrigue. As soon as he heard of her prisoner, he questioned L6. Later, he talked to the girl. What did he tell you, Beema? Not much. And yet I found out more than he realizes. I have seen him before. Beema, you must do me a favor. I served you. Give me some secret papers.  We'll plant them on him and turn him over to this country's intelligence department. He will be tried and face the firing squad.  I hate him on all he stands for. Will you help me? Your plan wouldn't work. The man locked in the next room is Special Agent L6. He's a secret agent. But, but he told me he's not. Yes, yes, I know.  It was a trap. He didn't know your race, Miss Cawth.  Our leader? Do you mean that the spies whose messages I take serve the land I was driven from? Of course. Who did you think we worked for? I am serving that land I hate. What did you say? Nothing. I hope I misunderstood. We now have you completely in our power, Miss Cawth. Your prisoner in the next room places you in our hands. You can't escape. What will we do with him? The night an important official of our government is to meet me here. He comes with papers of great value to our country. As soon as he has left, we will leave this apartment and never return. The fact that L6 came here proves the police are suspicious of your activities. I leave you now. I will return at 8 o'clock. Our visitor will also come at that time. It was a strange situation. Brenda Cawth found that she served the man she hated most, the man who persecuted the people of her race. The information stunned her at first. Then she realized what she must do. A little before 8 o'clock that evening, she talked with L6. L6, I've got to talk to you. He has tied you. Wait, I will cut the ropes. How did you find out that I was Agent L6? Beema, the man who was here, he told me. He told me many things there. Now you're free. I don't understand your actions. Wait, let me explain. I didn't know Beema worked for the nation that persecuted my father. When I first started, he told me that he belonged to the French Secret Service. He lied to you? Yes, because he realized how much I hated the country he really served. I should have known. You've been playing a dangerous game. I'll have to arrest you. I know. I don't mind. But first, I'll have revenge. Listen to me. Tonight, Beema is to meet an important official here. He comes with papers of great value. They're coming here to your apartment? Yes. You must arrest them, too. They'll take your guns. I also have one. I'll help you. Miss Corth, have you been outside of this building since I came here this afternoon? No, yes. I went to the telephone. Did you see an organ grinder outside? Yes. He was across the street. I saw the children. Why do you ask? The organ grinder was Agent B9. He's watching this building. I think we're ready for your friends when they arrive. Oh, they're here. Quick, get out of the way. Let them in. I'm ready. What made you take so long answering the bell? I mean, Excellency. This? This is the girl? Yes. Who would suspect one of her racers?  What is the meaning of this? It means that I've had my revenge, Excellency. You are both under arrest. Look out, L6. See you at the gun. Oh! Thank you, Miss Corth.  Are you all right, L6? Yes, Agent B9. It's all right, Miss Corth. This is Agent B9. Who's this man on the floor? His name is Beema. Miss Corth shot him when he attempted to escape. And the other is an important official of the secret police of Beema's country. He carries important papers. I think we can say this case is closed. Spies known as letterboxers are active in many world capitals. Their work consists, for the most part, in forwarding papers, plans, and correspondence sent in their care. Often, this type of spy is very difficult to uncover. Listen for my next story. This is K7, speaking.


I'm the Vice President of ICT at Freshland Public Health Care. I was pursuing other management roles within the company and one key area is just the desire to learn more about other parts of the business and that led me to do some investigations around what other courses are available and which brought me to looking at the University of Auckland and the management programme. The postgraduate diploma in business really appealed to me because it did seem to provide a good broad spectrum of knowledge of different parts of the business which I was really keen to learn more about. The experience so far has been fantastic. I've learnt a lot from simply networking with my peers in class, learning from their case studies and their stories when we share things. The material as well has also been fantastic, just learning the actual theoretical stuff. I've been able to apply quite a few things in the workspace. Highlights have probably been kind of waiting for that exam result or that assignment result to come out and you're really nervous and all of a sudden you get the result and you're like, ah yes, all the hard work can pay off.


Still in business, the federal government has stressed the need to get every Nigerian into agriculture. This is the fast-track economic recovery and growth plan post-COVID-19 era. Nigeria continues to face food crisis and general food availability. To mitigate this, it's part of the brainstorming at this event. The federal minister of agriculture, joint rural development, has called rural inclusiveness in the agricultural sector that will boost production and revenue base of the country. If you consider the issue of COVID and if you look at avian influenza, you will notice that the two are like flues and then we need to actually take serious precautions, especially our farmers. And this is like an exposure for them to gain more experience in how to handle the business they are into. That the government is training 10,000 young people, of each 600 of them have already been trained. And it's not just training, it's an entrepreneurial form of training where the government will set them up. So I can tell us in good order that before the end of this tenure, this government of government, they will have produced this set of multi-millionaires from the farm sectors. We realize the implication of what will happen if our fathers that are currently engaged, you know, strongly in agriculture today, if they fail they will, you know, else we fail them, age will fail them. If that happens, what provisions have we made in place to bring them on board the next generation? So we are ensuring that the younger ones, the youth generation, are also well articulated or presented as part of the whole strategy for this government. Farmers present at the program call on government to stop paying lip service to food production in the Southwest, especially, and look for ways to reduce prices of food items across the country. We are able to work collaboratively with them, raise seeds locally. We don't buy foreign seeds. Of course it will bring down the cost of seeds that's on one side. Remove the effect of the middlemen. We are able to sell our farm gates. It will really help us. So those are the things we are actually looking, you know, we are looking for and we are really working towards in ensuring we have food availability for all. There's nowhere in the whole world that government doesn't support farming because farming is food. I know we all know the importance of food. So government always supports. And I'm happy there are still governments trying their best, but as a farmer, we are still asking them to do more. There are so many things that it needs to be done, so we are still appealing to the government to do more. We know they are trying, okay, but we know they are trying their best. We are still appealing to them to do more. And if resolutions from this event are implemented, food shortage in Nigeria mustn't be a thing of the past.

We'll all do different levels of physical activity, but there's just so much research that shows that physical activity is really, really beneficial to our mental health and obviously it's good for our physical health too, it can help us to maintain a healthy weight, but also it can do things like help us to get out, if you do physical activity outdoors just being outside and connecting with nature can be a great thing. Your physical activity might just be walking to the bus or walking your dog or going for a walk just for pleasure, it might be jumping on the trampoline or climbing in my case, it might be running or a team sport. There's lots and lots of different things you might do and there's not a right or wrong answer here again, it's about finding what works for you, but trying to make sure that every day you're doing even just a small amount of physical activity. So have a little think about what are simple things that you could add into your daily routine that would mean that you just got that little bit more active. Great if you can get outside, but simple things like deciding to take the stairs instead of the lift or walking an extra bus stop can make a difference too. And then thinking with the young people in your life about how you can encourage them to build physical activity into their life as a regular part of what they do, so that it's not seen as this extraneous thing that has to be found time for, but rather it's one of their priorities and something that they hopefully gain pleasure from too. A really important group here is children who are or young adults who are approaching exams, often team sports and physical activities and other hobbies too tend to get cut when we're trying to make time for more revision. And I would just just to really think carefully about whether that cut is beneficial or actually if that bit of physical activity that exercise is beneficial and will actually help them to be more productive when they are studying to help them have that kind of clear mind. It's a balance to be struck there of course. Then our final pillar and this is one that so many of us struggle with is sleep. So this is about actually acknowledging that sleep is really important. So we often push sleep off the agenda because we have so many other things we want to be doing, whether that's that we're working late or we're getting up early to go to the gym even or whether because we are hooked into watching the latest series on Netflix or we can't turn off our phones because we've got this fear of missing out from social media. Whatever it might be, sleep is something that is becoming more and more and more encroached on and many, many young people and adults alike are chronically sleep deprived at the moment. And it does make it much harder to manage with the ups and downs of daily life. We need different amounts of sleep, different people need different amounts. And again, this is going to be about finding what works for you. But actually thinking carefully about how much sleep you think you actually do need, making sure that you are setting enough time aside for sleep and ensuring that you have a good routine in place to enable you to get good regular sleep is really important. Sleep is one of the things that is the one of the easier things often to try and correct when we are looking to improve our physical wellbeing. It sounds really hard and if you're in a bad cycle it can feel very difficult to break that. But actually we can form new sleep habits really quite quickly as long as we really, really kind of dedicate ourselves to that and we really prioritise it. I made a separate video about sleep that I'll link out to. But there we go. So very, very simply. So the plea today is to think when you're thinking about your mental health to think also about your physical health. The two are inextricably kind of they're unintwainably interlinked like you can't separate them and if you have poor physical health it will have ramifications for your mental health. However, if you take steps to have a good diet to participate in some physical exercise several times a week and you try to get good and regular sleep then you put yourself at a benefit and an advantage. And so as you come across those stresses and strains of daily life you're just that much more able to manage. I hope this helps. I would love to hear in the comments below small changes that you think you might be able to make in order to improve your diet, your physical activity or your sleep. But it's a really, really tangible starting point. So whether you are watching this yourself or someone that you work with or care for then really do have a think about what little changes you might be able to make to improve on those things. And you will see results. I feel like you know one of those pretend doctors that you get on like TV ads and stuff. I promise that in 30 days you'll get results. I can't promise that but yeah just do it. It's helpful and it's a really great starting point that doesn't require too much complex thought so give it a go. OK. I hope you found this helpful.

And give it a thumbs up if you liked it because that makes me smile. OK. Take care. Bye.


You are looking live at the President of the United States. He is campaigning of sorts in Hackberry, Louisiana. He's going to do some fundraising there as well. He's been talking about the economy, talking about the prospects for a trade deal eventually amid word that we just got moments ago that the Treasury Secretary, Steve Mnuchin, does indeed plan to go to China. No time frame has been announced here, but that the talks could continue. We just don't know how soon. We do know that at the corner of Wall and Broad, they liked these developments. We were up about 210 and a half points off our highs for the day and making up a little less than half the ground that was lost yesterday. So what's really going on on the trade front? Let's go to Blake Berman at the White House. Hey, Blake. Hi there, Neil. And President Trump today described what's going on between the United States and China, not as a trade war, but as a, quote, little squabble before the President left the White House here for Louisiana. The President said he was not surprised that China retaliated, said the talks between the U.S. and China have not collapsed. And at this point, he says it is the U.S. and not China that so far is coming out on top. I think we're winning it. We're going to be collecting over $100 billion in tariffs. Our people, if they want, they could buy from someplace else other than China, or they can really, the ideal is make their product in the USA. That's what I really want. Yeah, we're winning it. You know what? You want to know something? You want to know something? We always win. Earlier today, a spokesperson for China's foreign ministry said that China is going to fight to the finish and contended that it was the U.S. and not China that had backed out of prior agreements. That spokesperson saying at one point, quote, it is never China that backtracks and breaks its commitments. Meantime, Neil, back here in Washington, even Republican leadership is starting to get leery at this notion that this could be a prolonged trade war. Ultimately, nobody wins a trade war unless there is an agreement at the end after which tariffs go away. A lot of these, the obviously costs get passed on to consumers, so there are impacts there. There are clearly impacts on the ag economy, and we're feeling that in farm country. Now, the president also suggested today at one point that the Federal Reserve could help out by lowering interest rates. This was one of his many tweets on China today, writing, quote, China will be pumping money into their system and probably reducing interest rates as always in order to make up for the business they are and will be losing. If the Federal Reserve ever did a match, as he put it, it would be game over. We win. In any event, the president says, Neil, China wants a deal. We'll see, Neil. We will see indeed. Thank you, my friend. Again, just a review here. June 1st is when all of this kicks in, the tariffs higher on our side, tariffs higher on their side, affecting thousands of goods. Let's go to Fox Business Center's Deirdre Bolton on what could happen next. Hey, Deirdre. Hey, Neil. Well, a lot of the products that were targeted by the Chinese, not surprisingly, are agriculturally based, so the Chinese are doing this for political strategy purposes. They know that the states that produce a lot of what we export, at least in agribusiness, are states that voted for President Trump. So decaf coffee is just one of the items on the list, nuts of frozen fruits. So a lot of these items are the ones facing tariffs. So long story short, any Chinese person who wants to buy any of these American products, Neil, will just have to pay more for them as of June 1st. Now, last week, President Trump also threatened but did not yet to put into effect additional tariffs on a new list in the thousands of Chinese goods. On June 17th, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, of course, as we know, led by Robert Leitheiser, began the formal process that could lead to those new tariffs. So the public hearing that's on the 17th and that public comment period lasts until June 24th. So tariffs, in theory, could not be imposed until after that day, but that would really up the ante. What they're talking about is thousands, as I mentioned, of new Chinese goods worth about three on $300 billion worth of imports per year. So currently, as we know, the U.S. has about a 25 percent tariff on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods. All of these decisions, of course, increasing the stakes ahead of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, June 28th and 29th, when the Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Trump are expected to meet. So, Neil, obviously, they're going to have a lot to talk about. In the meantime, back to you. It would be funny, though. They never even mentioned trade, like, you know. They just talk about soap operas and, you know. Are you going to eat that? Yeah. All right. Thank you, dinner very, very much. Dinner, Bolton. All right, so much at stake in the next couple of weeks. Wall Street was betting kind of today that maybe they overdid it yesterday. Maybe cooler heads will prevail. You've heard that. We were up about 207 points. 24, the Dow 30 stocks were in the green today. Something that was the mirror opposite yesterday. Virtually all of them fell. Let's get the read from Susan Lee. We got heat there. Herzog with us. An eight squared research stock swoosh editor. Is that what you call it? You're in charge of it. It's you. I own it. I am the stock. You are. Kukukachu, you are the swoosh. So Melissa Arnau here. I'm curious when you look at this. The Wall Street today versus Wall Street yesterday. What's more accurate? Today really tells us absolutely nothing. Everybody literally yesterday, all the analysts, all the experts are saying, buy the dip. This is great. Buy an opportunity and we're lower. You know what? I heard you even say it. Do you really want to buy a falling knife? I don't think that this is over. And given the next six weeks and what could happen the next six weeks, if you buy here, you may be in a world of pain going into the next six weeks. So you're guarded right this. How do you play it? Absolutely cautious. OK. Do not go long. Anything right now taking new positions. If you're in the market long term, I believe that the uptrend holds. However, to get in new positions now in any major stocks or even the overall market, I think would be very not a good idea. Yeah, we're trying to read the consumer. Right, you follow retailers very, very closely. We do know that around June 1 thereabouts of nothing changes. A lot of goods are going to get a lot more expensive up to 25% more expensive. I had the former president of Walmart here was saying we're very worried about that. Well, the retailers are very worried about that because you can pass along smaller increases like the ones we've already absorbed. 25% is another matter. What do you think? Right. Well, the consumer is not going to pay an actual tariff, but to your point, they're going to pay for the price hike. So a family of four is looking at potentially $500 extra on items like apparel, footwear, unless they find an American alternative. Exactly. But you have to think about the retailers that are the manufacturers that have to relocate everything from China to the United States. So footwear right now, 69% of footwear is produced in China. And then 42% of apparel is produced in China. So inevitably, the consumer will have to pay for that price hike. The the issue is, will it even happen? So I think that people, you know, I tend to be on the other side of the argument, saying, you know what, let's just take a step back here. Let's not get our, you know, our knickers in a bunch. And you know, it's interesting, it's the first time I've heard some, you know, getting in your face back from the Chinese. And you've worked and covered the area very well, Susan. And I know that Chinese state media was touting something. They 5,000 years, we've endured trials and tribulations, hinting, obviously, that 5,000 years. It's a long time, isn't it? And they do plan for the long term. And I guess that's part of their thinking, this miscalculation in these trade talks, right? They thought, OK, well, let's wait it out to the midterms. And then let's wait it up after the Mulder report. And maybe they'll wait it out to 2,020. There are, there is a speculation on the markets. I think, though, given what's happening in the Chinese economy, there's a high wall of debt at this point. You have slowing growth. You also have a weaker currency. I don't think they can afford to wait that long. What about doing something really nuclear? They could devalue their currency, Melissa. They could also stop buying our treasuries or worse, sell them. I don't think they're going to go nuclear right now because they don't want this to escalate it. They didn't really want this to even happen at all. I think Trump is pushing the envelope. And I think it's eventually going to get to the point where it gets very bad. And how does it help them, anyway, is by selling off these treasuries? Yeah, they only hurt themselves. Yeah, we think it's their currency rights. And they want the relationship. Well, they might like that. Yeah, where else are they going to go? What is more liquid and stable? They're going to hang on. But I honestly believe that it's going to get to the point where everything gets taxed. You can call it a tax and call it a tariff. You can call it whatever you want. The problem is... I'm sort of like you keep mentioning that because I don't mean to politicize this one or the other, but tariffs are taxes that we pay. But it's not going to be exactly 25%... No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not going to be exactly. But there are alternatives, right? Some alternatives in some markets. Sometimes you have to buy the stuff from China, or you don't. No, let me ask you this. What are the most expensive... Like, what is the stuff that has the highest profit margin that's really, that could be the cushion? Because like food, for example, things that have a bigger profit margin, those companies, what are those things? Those companies are probably going to absorb some of that. So what are those things? It's exactly what I was saying. It's apparel. It's footwear. It's clothing. It's clothing. But these are discretionary items. I mean, this is, you know... It's not something you have to have to have. You don't have to have these, exactly. So I think people, again, we're talking about these tariffs that consumers are really going to feel the pinch and what's going to happen before we're thinking into holiday. Nothing is going to happen. I don't think... We're going to be fine. But let me answer it. A lot of American companies have been hedging their bets. First of all, buying a lot of goods to stack on their shelves that help the first quarter GDP. But a lot of them are getting out of China or spreading their manufacturing to other locales, like Mexico, like Cambodia, Vietnam. What do you make of that? And that is something that Chinese fear a lot more. That's been a trend for the last five years. It's just, it's not brand new that happened in the last few years. You don't think it's accelerated with this? I think it might accelerate. China is not a cheap place to produce anymore. Yeah, that's true. And by the way, it's not just the consumers that we heard. What about the U.S. companies that operate in China? What about the plants that Apple owns? I do have to add, though, it is very hard to remove all of that manufacturing out of China. I mean, it's like a slow-moving barge to get all of that manufacturing out very quickly. They have been trickling and doing this for a while, so. Right, to see if it's going to happen. I think what's going to happen is, and this is where it's going to be between now and the end of the year. If a deal doesn't get done in 2019, which low ads that I think that a deal does get done in 2019, then China's going to roll the dice. They're going to take it into 2020. I see if Trump doesn't get re-elected. However, that is very risky, because if Trump does get re-elected, Trump will be emboldened through this process, and it will get worse for the Chinese then, and then there could be tariffs going on. I'm talking 12, 24 months longer, and that's where you're going to see the effect than in the economy. How did you get to be Debbie Downer all of a sudden? I'm not Debbie Downer, but I said this to you on Saturday. I know, but you were in this bullish before. I'm bullish. I'm bullish on the market. I am bullish on the market, but that's a different thing, because I've done business with Chinese corporations, so I understand that they're going to push back harder. They're not going anywhere. Well, they're pushing back. I just want to make the real quick point. The S&P 500 has been up 20% since the last time we saw this, which was Christmas Eve in 2018. We've got to go right-strap back up to the highs. Right after this rally today, if we go right-strap back up to the highs and get over the highs, then I'll say, okay, great, do, do, do, do. Well, that's the pattern. Well, we've had these China dips. If you bought on those dips, you did well. But one tweet takes us, boom, and then we go right down. How was that again? That's a swoosh. That's a swoosh. That's right, one stop swoosh away. All right, the Attorney General of the United States, William Barr, is now investigating the investigators. He wants to go back to how this all started.


There is absolutely nothing unusual about a former president leaving his country to spend his retirement in another country. However, when the former president leaves a few hours after the inauguration of his successor, we can't help but think that something is fishy. And it is exactly what the former president of Senegal, Maki Saul, did. In a very beautiful ceremony, presidential candidate Diomai Faye, who won the election by a landslide, was sworn in as the new president of Senegal on April 2nd, 2024. The ceremony was attended by a dozen heads of state and regional representatives attended the inauguration, including Nigeria's President Bola Tanubu, Ghana's President Nana Akufo Ado, African Union Commission chair, Musa Faki Mahamat, and representatives from the military government of Niger, Maki, and Burkina Faso. During the ceremony he attended with his two wives, Faye stated that the results of the election showed a profound desire for change. And from now on, Senegal will be a country of hope at peace with an independent justice system and a stronger democracy. The ceremony was beautiful and hopeful. But our focus is on the actions of the former president Maki Saul. Now, a few days before President Faye's inauguration ceremony, the press reported that Saul intends to spend his retirement outside of Senegal, which, as we earlier stated, is not a bad thing. However, just a few hours after the inauguration ceremony of President Faye, Maki Saul, who obviously has been preparing for it, left the country. Currently, the destination of Saul's flight has not been mentioned, but based on some reports, it is believed that Saul has fled to France. The question is why the hurry? Who is he running away from? Well, to answer this question, we have to go back to the beginning when Maki Saul was first elected as president of Senegal in 2012. During his inauguration, Saul promised that a new era of good governance had begun in Senegal with his presidential victory. He said he would address the consolidation of power in the presidency by fostering a more democratic system while also tackling issues of social justice and equity. One of the central commitments to his campaign was that he would reduce presidential terms from seven to five years, reversing an increase that his predecessor Wade had implemented. During his first term, Saul committed to infrastructural development both in the rural and urban areas. He secured 7.5 billion in funding for an ambitious economic development plan called Emergent Senegal, which was designed to transform the economy by 2035 through investments in agriculture, infrastructure, and tourism. In fact, Saul seemed to have advanced national development. However, if the infrastructures and investments put in place do not benefit the people, then it's all a waste of resources. Saul may have committed to infrastructural development, but the fact is that proper mechanisms were not put in place to ensure that the benefit reaches the people. Most of the time, developmental projects suffered because some officials who were appointed based on party affiliation rather than competence were more focused on personal gains than good governance. Then came 2019, when Saul was re-elected for a second term. It was during this period that his popularity among the Senegalese people began to rapidly drop because another leader was on the horizon, opposition leader Usman Sonko. Sonko, a former tax collector and mayor of Zingwichor, gained popularity among the people as a politician who stood against the system and was willing to challenge Saul's relationship with former colonial power France and with foreign companies operating in extractive industries. Seeing that another leader had won the hearts of the people, Saul began to hatch different plots to prevent Sonko from standing in the elections. In 2021, he was arrested on rape accusations, which after much investigation was later determined to be false. In 2023, he was accused of libel against a minister, a charge that subsequently saw him barred from running in the presidential election. It was during this period that he was arrested, few weeks after Faye had been arrested. The people were angry at these movies by sale, leading to protests and demonstrations. The majority of the hundreds of thousands of people who protested against Sonko's arrest were young people who were angry at the high rate of unemployment and the high cost of living in the country. But Saul did not just stop there, he also went ahead to dissolve the political party of Sonko, Pastef and contemplated running for another term during the 2024 Senegal presidential election. In February 2024, when the presidential election was originally scheduled to be organized, Saul made an announcement that threatened to destroy the stability of democracy in Senegal. He announced that the election was postponed till December and gave a flimsy reason for his decision, saying that the delay was necessary to investigate allegations of corruption among aspiring presidential candidates. However, the people refused, calling it a constitutional coup with some people believing that it was a ploy to either prepare himself to run another term or ensure that the candidate from his party, Amadou Ba, won the election. Due to the pressure from the people and as well as foreign observers, the constitutional court eventually ruled that it was illegal to postpone the election. Thereby leading the government to announce that the elections would take place in March 2024. This was how the election was finally conducted and DMA Fay won the election. However, the former president knew that he had made a lot of mess by cracking down on opposition parties, the media and financial scandals attached to his government, which the new government would make him answer for. So, guess what he did? A few days before the election, it was reported that former president Macky Saul submitted a draft law to parliament that allows for a general amnesty for acts related to political unrest from 2021 to 2024. A period during his tenure that includes the violence and chaos caused by his postponement of elections. According to Saul, the amnesty was necessary to bring reconciliation to the country. But the truth is, that is just a cover. Because if you check the legislation closely, you will notice that it absolves all those involved in the political strife, including himself, of any criminal liability. A move that Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International said, opens the door to impunity for those involved in the violent repression of protests. In simple terms, Macky Saul was ensuring that anything that tied him to crimes related to his crackdown on the opposition parties was taken care of. From this action, we can deduce that fleeing the country to France was another way for the former president to cover his base. The fact is, the new government would most likely investigate Saul's administration, and they are sure to find things that would implicate him. Fleeing to another country ensures that even if he is found guilty and tried in absentia, he would still be enjoying himself in another country. The only thing is, he would not be able to set foot in Senegal again. The only thing we can say about a man like Macky Saul is good riddance. After 12 years in power, Macky Saul left Senegal with the challenge of youth unemployment, which is a pressing issue for the nation's rapidly expanding population, and a feeling among the public that the economy has been badly managed. According to the International Labor Organization in 2019, 60% of the population in Senegal are under 25, but about 35% of them are unemployed. About half of the country's 17 million people are living in poverty, and it was during Saul's term that migration to Europe increased by a significant amount. Saul's administration has certainly left a lot of work for President Daimé Faye and Usméin Sonko, who was appointed as prime minister. Hopefully this duo is up to the task because the people of Senegal are eagerly waiting to start reaping the benefits of electing Faye as president of Senegal. What are your thoughts?

Hey guys, welcome to another Subaru Engine Repair series. So I did call a machine shop. I wanted for them to do valve lapping, head decking, just overall check, cleaning and if any valves need replacement then they would do the work too. So two heads, because it's Subaru, they coded me for 700 dollars, which is quite a bit, that's just labor. No extra parts involved. As far as the black goes, decking, cleaning and honing and or boring out the cylinder walls, that's at least 300, 350. So well above 1000 bucks, 1100 or so, to do it properly at a machine shop and I know they do good work, I would know for sure that this would work. And that, I didn't even ask, I forgot, that did not include the crankshaft polishing. They would also measure out the new pistons that I would provide them with and they would bore out the cylinder walls according to the new piston size. But I can do all that stuff myself. It's not going to be as precise as the machine shop for obvious reasons, you need some heavy machinery to do all that, but it is doable, a garage like this and some knowledge. Let me explain to you what I mean. So let's start with the heads. So on one of the, I believe on cylinder number one, one of the exhaust valves was leaky. I did a leak down test right before I took it apart. One of these was leaking. We do have two valves, or I should say four valves per cylinder, two intake, two exhausts. Campshafts are okay, these cups are also okay, they're going back in. These guys are also okay so that the top end of the head, I don't need to worry about. Now as you can see, I took one valve out. So this is the passenger side head and these two guys are the exhaust valves. I don't know which one was leaking, one of these was leaking. See the black dots on the seat of the valve? That needs to be addressed, there's no cracks. The only thing I probably could not check is if the valve is bent slightly in any way. I don't have any special tools to actually check that. Let's take this one out and see what it looks like. Here's the suspect. There is a special tool, it's like a big clamp where you squeeze the spring by attaching this big clamp to here and underneath or on top of the valve and it squeezes the valve spring. Then you can take out these, I forget what these are called, but you can do it without a tool or without a special tool. Just use a socket, make sure the socket is bigger than these clips that hold the spring in place. Just hit it a few times, make sure it's a good solid hit. There goes one, it went somewhere, so this is the spring. I'm going to keep it in order because the valves need to go back in the same spot. I'm going to flip it over, take the valve out slowly. I don't see any cracks, it seems like it's more dirty. On this side, then here, you see it, this one actually might be bent. It's all shiny here, but then as I go 180 degrees, it's kind of darkish here. I'm referring to the seat of the valve, so right here. These are the seats of the valves. I don't take engines apart on a daily basis so I don't remember the specific names for a lot of these different parts. No, no, this is like your regular wear on these seats. No cracks, maybe it is bent, who knows. That's why doing it myself is questionable. But what you do, it's actually simple, it's just time consuming, everything's simple when you know how to do it. I would clean this up, make sure there's no dirt, no debris. Then you put this sandpaper-like paste on the valve or anywhere, on the seat or on the valve. And you start with a coarse paste and you want to clean this up too because you want to be able to put a suction cup right on top of the valve. Then you lubricate this part so it turns freely when you put it back in. This top side of the valve is clean suction cup on and you rotate it until you get a nice clean surface. The goal is to get rid of all these imperfections here. So check this out, I just took it to my wire wheel station, carefully cleaned it up. The top, the bottom here, I did my best not to touch the area where the valve sits. That's going to be done, while I'm still thinking about it, by lapping it with that coarse paste. And then fine, you want to go from coarse, you want to go to fine paste. But yeah, it looks much better, especially the outside. So all of these, even these, can look like that, there's just 16 of them. I did some light blocking on all the surfaces, where the black connects and where the heads go. So now we're going to check for flatness with this straight edge. I got a two thousandth filler gauge right here, which you do, first you got to make sure this surface is clean and you simply try and fit the filler gauge at different angles and see if it fits. It doesn't on this one, let's check this one. This is two thousandths, let's go with 15.0015, this was 0.002, this is 0.001.5 or 1.5. 1.5 thousandths or whatever. Going in but dragging, this is the middle, there's always the problem area. See this part, check this out, that's why this is important to clean it. If I put it here, it goes in but drags, right?  So got to watch out for these things, I'm not going in at all. So it's just this dirt here, probably on both sides, that's making that happen. Yeah, I'd say the black is good, at least where the heads go on. But we're going to sand it down anyways, okay? I got a straight board from Home Depot, cleaned it nicely, then I got a piece of glass on top of it, just to make sure everything's even. And then 220 cent paper, and I sprayed some adhesive on this, on the glass, so the sandpaper sticks. Still using the 1500, nothing goes in here, shouldn't be fine, I'm going to basically slide it over and try and do it dry first. So I checked these surfaces where the black meets, and this I'm just going to go file it down a little bit, I don't want to take off any material from this side. Cleanliness is key here, make sure this is clean, I'm just letting its own weight do the work. But look at the progress, these lines are almost gone, that's what we want to get rid of. Just a few more passes in, and we're done. Still with the 1500, it's dragging here, so I'm not even going to bother going to 2000. 2000 is allowable, so we're going under the sub-row specs, kind of fits here, but drags. So I bet you 2000 won't even fit, let's see, yeah, see it drags. The intake valves are perfect, not even touching these.


Are you ready? Hey boys, welcome all back to the channel. It's time to do some walleye jerking today. Now, I know in this series, we already caught some walleye. And we did a magnificent catch and cook short lunch. But Captain Ted, he's been going out every day for two weeks dialed, and we're going to learn some things today about catching some walleye. Hopefully get some pretty good ones in the process. My personal best is 24 inches long. I feel like we have a pretty good chance at stepping that up here today. However, I have never done this technique that we are going to learn together today. Ted's going to walk us through it. But we're going to be getting on him crawler harnesses. OK, boys, we're going to start fresh. Never rig one of these up. We're learning together. All right, Captain Ted. We're rigging up a bottom bouncing rig. Is this correct? It's correct. My preferred rod is a 6'6 medium heavy of any brand. And then maybe a 2,500 series spinning reel. All righty. Got probably 20 pound braid, 15 pound braid. 20 pound braid, two ounce bottom bouncer. And with the wind today, that's definitely the right call. You can go lighter on certain days when the wind's not quite as strong. But we want to be on the bottom, hugging the bottom, bouncing rocks, and also pushing through the weed lines. So we tie that directly to a snap. It's your basic snap. And then we hand make our snails in the cabin at nights. And over a couple of cocktails of course. Absolutely, it's the best way to do it. Going fire tiger today. Made that last night. A little bit of a copper flash on the back. Orange and green beads. Barbed hooks to keep the worm on. Snailed on. Yep. It's about arm lengths. OK, six foot or so. Maybe seven foot on you. Yeah, that's usually what we do when we're making them. We just hold our arms out. And then you're going to tie it to this, which is when you purchase the bottom bouncer, it'll have a barrel swivel on it so the worm doesn't get tangled. And I like to put another barrel swivel on my line too to give it a little bit more straightness. I just don't want to get tangled when I'm down there. There's a lot of current and rocks. So this is 15. That's 15 mono. 15 mono. That'll give you a little stretch. So when you do hook the fish, you won't pull it out of its mouth. Is that a crawler hornet? We call them a snail, but yeah, a crawler hornet. I think it's what they call them in the store. And then you need a crawler for your snail. Now this is interesting here. You take very good care of your worms. It's essential. You want to have live, cool worms. Live, cool worms. We clean them so we don't have to bring the mud out into your boat. Fresh clean water every night. Every night. Make sure it's on the barb through the eye of the worm. And this I let just kind of hang free. We don't put that on the worm. Oh, OK. Yep. And catch most of your fish on the front hook because they're really hitting that blade spinning around. But occasionally, you're getting with trailer too. And this cooler, guys, this is an actual cooler. It has cool packs all around it. All right. This is not a game. There's the full program. Look at that. And they're happy. They've been cleansed with aquafina at night, all right? I've never done this technique before. The closest comparison that I can give is probably Carolina rigging with a drift.  So looking at the electronics, seeing the bait, seeing a good depth, which in this case is about 15 foot. And then Ted is going to stay on the trolling motor and basically keep us in the depth. And we will put it off to the side. The two ounce, that has a lot of weight so that it goes down there and it's keeping you on the bottom. And your line's not lifting up and drifting above the fish. We're learning. Smash that like button. Let's get hooked up. OK, we're going to snap on the bottom bouncer, which is attached to the Snelled harness. Look at me go. I'm a true Yankee now. All right, that is pretty heavy. That is pretty heavy, Ted. So this has essentially a 90 degree angle on it. We want to put ourselves in the current. I've got my worm ready to go. Ted's already hooked me up. And so I'm throwing this on my green series finesse rod. Go ahead and open your bail. Drop it down. Drop it? So all your line comes out and it's flat. Oh yeah, we're on bottom. Got the feel. We're on it. Yep. But now we're going to battle it. OK, this is bottom bouncing. This is combining boat with man and electronics. It's one fluid system here. When you get a bite with one of these, you want to let them tap it a couple times.  All right, we've got some fish down here, guys. Right now they're hugging the bottom. Oh, this is it. Yeah, there's got him hooked up.  No good, too. That looks like a big in there. That was just one big old mark at the peak of the. He hooked up. Oh, I'm hooked up, too. Ted, we're doubled. Oh, I got him. Biggin, son. Feels good. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. This might be a 30, Ted. He feels solid. Showing the walleye. He doesn't feel like a northing. No, it's a walleye. Nice.  Oh, he's a nice one. Not bad. We got a PB coming here. Yeah, we got a PB on the first fish. All right, all right, all right. Let's finish it now. I like the way you're playing it. Yeah. Probably rod tip a little higher with these walleyes. Avoid any possible slack in the line at any time. Here he comes. Get ready. Wah-bam. Boom. That's a nice quality fish there. OK. All right, now how's the typical? You put them right there and do your thing. Cool. That looks pretty fish. Looks like you got the back hook. Yeah. You did get the back hook. Kind of a belly snag there. They got a lot of teeth. How do you typically grab these? Yeah. I didn't know if you have a special. OK, you do. You got a towel. Got a towel. And you grab them. I'm going to put the towel over the fish like so. Kind of calm them down. So I get two good hands on them. Put that hook back in the net there. OK, I'm going to get that hook out of there. He's out. Let's measure it. I think it might not be a PB, but I'm calling maybe 23 or 24. 23, 24. 23. 23.   Put him back. Put him back. That is pretty awesome. That's good stuff. Oh, he thumped the tar out of it, too. I mean, just don't keep my same crawler on here. Good to go. Shape? Yeah. Nice one, Joe. You know what? Feels like it's got some shoulders. Beautiful. Beautiful thing. Looked up maybe. Oh, it's a 31. Look at that run it made there. Just taking her easy. See him down there? This one's really fighting, quite honestly. It's making some runs. Wearing them out. It's pretty fish, too, look at him. Oh, yeah. Here we go. Oh, I'm bam. He's whacking them, man. Yeah, Lee, they hit the tar out of these worms. Yeah. Cool, I got him. I got him from here. I'm going to do the towel method. Thank you, Ted. The reason for the towel, guys, around the back, these things have some gill plates that are super gnarly. Super gnarly. OK, that one had the front hook. It's like he's supposed to. So you can kind of grab them right here. You can grab them right there and you're good to go. But these gill plates right here, oh man, they're sharp. These babies right there. Ted's hooked up. I'm going to let my fish go. Here we go, bud. That one looks good. Yeah, this one's got some shoulders on it, too. Some healthy fish sitting out here on this point, you know? Oh, no, my hook's in the net. Take your time. I'm going to get them out. I usually catch them on the back side, but you can see how the wind just right in our face. Oh, yeah, I see them right here on the graph. Oh, yeah, that's a big bite. That's a big bite. Oh, yeah, boy! Yeah! That's a toad. There it is. We're looking for. All right. Put them right here. Is this the program? That's the police program. What's crazy, y'all, is Ted's personal best came right over there. And every time he comes by that rock, he gets a bite for decades now, right? Look at that. Literally. Look at that. That's a pretty tail. That's a big one. Woo! Those teeth, too. Shoppers. That's awesome, man. Pretty, pretty. Okay. He's too big to keep. Too big to keep. Throw them back. Quality. Dropping her down. Here we go. There's quite a stack in there. Yeah, there's a couple of glue to the bottom right here. That's typically how they are. They're just glued. Yeah. Bottom fish are wide. Almost all of them. That's why you got to use that bottom bouncer. They're on the bottom. Oh, here we go. Oh! I missed one, too. Ah! That one felt good. Yeah.  These are big boys. Got him. Double up. Woo-hoo! Here we go now. Either I've got him fouled or it is a toad. Donkey. We got a slob donkey on, y'all. Holy cow. That, I'm a little worried. This one might be large. I don't know. This could be a 30. No idea. It's either a pike or it's a real big one. Big, big walleye. This is a walleye.  Holy s***. This is a big one. This is a PB coming here. Oh, my God. Is that a walleye? Yeah, it is. Are you sure? I think so. Oh, my God. It is. Oh, my God. Oh, baby. Cat and dead. Woo! How big is that? Is that a 28? Oh, that's probably 30s plus. No way! Oh, yeah.  Oh, that's a big one. I hooked this fish. I knew it was different, but hold. Look at the size of that monster. 29 and a half.  I'm serious. Dude. Holy cow. I'm shaking right now. I know. You should be. Dead. Oh, I'm sorry, buddy. I make my third 29 this. 29 and a half, guys. That's like catching a 10 pound bass. Okay? A 10 pound bass. Holy cow. Look at the girth on it. Look at the belly. Dude, just... And I kind of knew if we hung out at a point that there would be a big fish out there, but I tell you, there's a bigger one out there. That's a giant, y'all. That's a giant walleye. Holy cow. See you, girl. Woo-hoo-hoo. Fish of a lifetime. So I've always kind of looked at walleye as like, well, that's the meat, you know? That's the golden crispies. There's nothing better than that. But to fish for them as trophy big fish like this, catching them on the lures was really good, but it's difficult to get those hog jammers. You know what I mean? They sit there on the bottom and they are just... They're finicky, you know? But the thing they can't resist is a Dagon Canadian night crawler. And that one right there that was on the apex of that point, I saw it when we went over it when the graph, I was like, God, dang, that's a big old mark. And I think that's probably the fish that we hooked up on. Going through the juice. You got to believe Big Mo is sitting on this point.  There it is. There it is. Oh. Textbook. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. That's how we do it. That's how we do it there. I did. Yeah. Everybody saw your rod load. It was nice. Find that right, didn't we? Oh, yeah. I'm scared to put my line down there. What is going to happen next? Dirty 30. How many over 30 inches have you caught in your life? Here? Just in total. In total. I want to answer it two ways so you'll appreciate this. I've caught two here. You've caught two over 30 here? In 27 years. In 27 years. Now, how many have I caught over 30 in the Great Lakes, Lake Erie, Lake Ontario? 200? Yeah. You've caught 200 over 30 in the Great Lakes. Wow. Great water, big fish. Got him dead. He's known for toads. That's what we do. Let me ask you a technical question fishing this day. So when you get to a little deeper spot, do you let line out? I do. You let a little... Okay, because I've been adjusting reeling in on the shallow and then let... Pay attention to the depth because I'm getting a zigzag in and out. Plus the rock structure is different. You always want to be at the bottom. So I'm always constantly letting line out, reeling line in. And if you're not making contact, you ain't getting bit. Yeah. And that's what the balance is about. You bounce down there and you can't feel that bottom? Bounce with it. You got to stay in tune with your bouncer more than I was thinking. So I'm learning here. I'm marking fish here. All right. We're dropping. Yep. Nice job. Quality fish? Nope. I think I got a handle on this one. Let's check. I mean he's quality, but he's not a slot. Let's see if I can double down here. Here's one. Double up, doubled up, doubled up. There we go.  There we go, guys. Hold on. I think I caught her sister here. The first time I caught one of these, I went to lip it. And I said, nope, nope, nope, nope. Not going to do that. Let's measure her up. There's about 20. Oh, jeez. We're so used to catching big fish. A 20 looks small. Just got a little cut from the gills. Oh, no. I'll just let you guys know. Dangerous game. This is Ted's last day up here. So to finish at... This is where we had our shore lunch right over here. Special spot where his ashes will be laid. Monster walleyes for 20 years. Pretty awesome. It's almost like these crawlers know they're trying to be hooked in the face. We got something serious here. Some surges. This might be a big one. The one. Oh my gosh, Ted. I like the way those gears are burning. I'll move mine to the other side here. I don't think so. Oh, God. God. Dog. It wasn't making like those big, big northern surges. Northern would have took it. Yeah, yeah. 100%. God. That was a monster. That's got to be a northern. Yeah. Big old fly. It's not running right now, but God, it wouldn't hit it. It's a big one. Game hog. It's not fighting right now. I don't know. It's staying down. It seems like it's coming up. I mean, knocked the tar out of it. Hardest hit I've had so far.  I can't. It was. Oh no, it still got. It's got to be a northern. Did 50 team off? He came back and got it? Maybe another one did. That's, this is a different fish. It's a different fish. I'll be damned. Look at, look at behind him. The huge northerns. Oh my gosh. A big northern trying to eat him. That's what happened. I had, I had this guy and the pike grabbed him. That's what happened. That was a monster northern. Over 40. Over 40. Over 40. Maybe he'll come back. That poor little guy. Oh my gosh. You were chased by a monster. Have you ever seen that happen? Yeah. I guess I have. What happens on, anytime you got a little walleye like that, they'll eat it. That thing was a snake. I don't know how that works. Do you have any teeth marks on? Oh yeah. He's got it on the side there. Here. And on the top. He's ripped up. Oh my gosh. I got it. Oh yeah. And he's ripped on his belly.  So yeah, yeah. Look. That's crazy. That was a giant northern pike that had my walleye. Got the walleye hit it and then all of a sudden it just got really heavy. Really heavy. Like I couldn't even move. Like I was on a log. Big old northern. Trying to eat my dinner. Dad coming. See what happens. Maybe we'll get this one in the hook. Dad's hooked up on something very large. I don't know if they think so. Yeah. I think it's a walleye. I think I saw the way of the tail. Oh my gosh. That's going there bud. He's humming. Oh no. Oh no a northern. Is it a northern? I think it is. It is. It's a big boy. Is it? That's a big boy. That's probably over 35. Oh wow. That last run really made a difference. Okay. I'm going to reel in. I must have looked just right. You must. Right in the corner. Maybe in the nose. That's a big one. That's a big one dude. Oh god. Lee. Oh god. That's a toad. How did you hook this thing and not break it off? I don't know. I mean the weight. I feel how heavy that thing is. Look at this thing. Oh my gosh. That's probably over 40 man. Yeah. Big fish day. Look at that hook. Right there in the corner of the mouth. That's the only way you could look at the head on it. Look at the head. Oh my gosh. Imagine how to be your personal best. Imagine that one I think so. Oh I think so. Hold that thing up. Oh he's so slimy. Oh my gosh. Look at that thing. Oh holy god. That is heavy. Look at his tail. Let's get some photos. That thing is huge. Right at 39 and a half. What the thing's not over 40? 39 and a half. Holy cow. He's just some girthy I think. Yeah he's the thickest.  That's a gator man. Clipping a tickle. Clipping a tickle that gator is good. There he goes. Oh my gosh another jump. Another jump. How cool is that? That's awesome. That's a miracle that that thing was hooked just in the right spot. Oh wow. That could have been the same northern that had my walleye I don't know. It looked like it. Yeah I mean they could have been brothers or sisters because talking about some gators. What an incredible day on the water. Just so awesome.  There seemed to be a little hesitant about it. Okay we'll make sure you rig that up.  Back in the game. Pull PB's and then fish a lifetime. I would say so. How long has the bottom balancing technique been in the game? Hang on we're hooked up. It feels like another dandy. You know just 20's catching them in the low mid 20's. Might get my worm back too if I'm real fancy about it. Alright guys I'm going to let this go. I'm not even going to touch him. Just going to let him go pristine from human touch. Here I'm beautiful rainy. There he goes. Another tasty walleye for the books today. See bait right now.  That's a good one. Yay. Oh yay. Wabbe. Nice. That was a skinny one long one. You know 25 inch or something like that. Wow. Quick release. Had him right in that soft corner. How you doing? Word of word. Got a little something here. Feels hefty. Just saw the boat. Just another standard big unit. Oh yeah. Boy you fought didn't you? I did man. These last couple the head shakes. The initial head shakes. So I want to show you something that Ted just showed me here. With these walleye. Very similar to crappie. They have a little hinge in their mouth right here. You can see through it. It's translucent. That little spot right there. If you hook them. If you let off tension at all. You're going to lose that fish. It's just like a crappie. Got to have that light wire hook. And that soft rod. Otherwise you're going to lose that fish. Nice one. Good walleye.  Got him. Ted's hooked up. Feel good? Oh jeez.  I got a foul hook. You see it yet? Just a nice walleye in it. All right. There it is. That's another piggy. Good job. You know they don't. They're not huge fighters in the water. Are they fighting the boat? Oh my gosh. Can you get your hands on that right there again? That soft tissue. I don't know what that is. Face move. Big fish. I don't know if you want to. All right. Head to the next spot. Well bam. We're not catching anything under 20 inches it seems. Spot of the day.  We've already gone big and we're going to go home. But can we possibly get bigger? I don't know. It's right there on that point I think. Right there on that point. Calling your shot. Let's do it. I believe you. I'm going to go fresh worm. Last spot you've got to go fresh worm. Don't play around. Head shakes. That could be a walleye. This is going to be a walleye. Just a decent one. Definitely over 20. He did not fight that hard. Initially. Initially he did. Come here. Like a big perch. Double up. We'll let mine go. Well I got the net in hand. See what Captain Ted's got working. Another nice walleye. Good. Perfect. That was the last cast. For you. Another year. Glad it was with you bud. Absolutely awesome day. I'm glad it was with you. As well Ted. We had incredible walleye fish. Absolutely incredible. You've seen a lot of days out here. A lot of days. Average size. Top 10. Top 5. Absolutely top 5. Top 5. Biggest size. We caught 2 under 20. That's how incredible it was. Gigundus pike. 29.5. I've always thought it's funny when Canadians say Crowler harness. I never really understood what it was. Well today we got intimate with it. And now I fully understand. Ted thank you for the education. Thank you Justin. Let's do it again next year. Absolutely. I'll be coming back for this. Experience again. And you guys. Hopefully you learned something today as well. This is the end to the perfect day. Well folks. I had my mathematics failed us today. I think I got enough gas. We are out of gas and we are about a mile from the lodge. Literally we can see it. Oh no my dad. My dad and Brad are going to have to come save us. Literally went the extra mile. We probably covered close to 100 miles today. Well it was worth it. If we had a swim back it would have been worth it. My dad and Brad were just they just happened to be out trolling for pike or something. In the middle it was weird. We ran into them. They're way behind us right now.  But yeah they're going to have to toss in with a 60 horse. Yeah. Can I get a ride eh? Thank goodness we ran into you guys. Yeah. Thank goodness we stopped. Yeah those are my rods. Definitely move those rods. That would have been a fun boat to be in all day. I got it. Oh you got it. Big one. It's 21 feet. Well boys that is going to wrap up today. We actually made it in. Just barely what we made it in. I learned a ton today guys. Something I never thought I would do is go dedicate myself to walleye fishing. I caught a few good ones out here on just fishing bass baits. And I just said to myself man I need to go out with Captain Ted. And I really need to learn how to do this because he's been catching some monsters out here this week and it's really been on. So I did.  Wall hanger that was unexpected. But I just learned a ton about walleye fishing and bottom bouncing. So hope you learned something along the way. And smash that like button for outdoor greatness guys. We got one more day out here. And I don't know what we're going to do. But we're going to go have some fun out here on Rainy Lake. Finish strong with my dad. With the rest of the guys. And finish off a great trip. So thank you for tuning in today. And we'll see you again one more day out here on Rainy Lake.
