Shawalski's on the mic. I'll tell ya what I like
It's fishing Lake Michigan for walleye, perch and pike
But there's tons of other lakes where the fishing's great
To me Wisconsin's not the dairy, it's the fishing state
I'm gonna start off with a story 'bout when I gotta strike
I was fishing up near Hayward for the northern pike
I used a home-made floater and casted off the dock
And when that pike hit my lure, I almost went in shock
The northern jumped out of the water like he wanted to fly
I took a look and set my hook and yelled Holy Crap, guy!
That pike put up a fight, cripe he sure was strong
Weighed 32 pounds and measured 50 inches long
There's another pike we catch and this one ain't small, guy
They're out on Winnebago - Ya, I'm talking about the walleye
We use Little Joe spinners, sometimes minners and a jig
Charlie caught a lunker and Holy cripes was he big!
But if you're on Lake Winnebago and all the walleye are gone
It's probably cause they head up the Wolf River to spawn
So each and every April you'll find us having fun
Fishing up in Fremont for the walleye run!
Every time we fish for perch we catch them pound after pound
We have the Friday night fish fries the whole year round
In winter we use tip-ups on the ice on Lake Poygan
And the rest of the year, we're off the shores of Sheboygan
I'd say an ultra light rod, hook and worm work best
And for the really great action, use a two-pound test
Almost all the perch we catch are considered trophy size
And every August in the tournament we win the first prize!
Well you can't forget a certain fish, you catch them every cast
I'm talking largemouth, smallmouth and hybrid bass
One time I picked up Sweeney and we left real early
And we fished at Gile Flowage about a mile out of Hurley
Byron used a Power Worm, I chose a plastic craw
We caught a dozen of the biggest bass that you ever saw
One was eight pounds and cripes did it break water
Took a 20-minute fight before I reeled in and caught her!
See when it comes to fishing, every guy in Shad-Rapp's great
And we all hold at least one record in the state
It's trophy crappie, trophy perch, trophy walleye, pike and bass
Ya, you can tell Babe Winkleman to kiss my ass!
Well it's time to go and fish again and see what I can catch
So here's DJ Sweeney on the Shad-Rapp scratch!
