Two little fellas with one big mama, Jaxson Kemp and Jack Morehouse show off a walleye captured for spawning.
Fort Peck Reservoir walleye spawning effort completed
by Marc Kloker, FWP
The annual walleye spawn on
Fort Peck Reservoir was fast and
furious this year, lasting only 16 days.
Starting on April 11 and ending on
April 26, Montana Fish, Wildlife
and Parks fisheries and hatchery
staff, along with the assistance of
volunteers, found favorable weather
and cooperative fish throughout the
spawning period.
More than 2,000 walleye were
captured in trap nets, with 611 females
spawned yielding approximately 68
million eggs. Crews collected a wide
range of walleye sizes, indicating
good growth and survival over the
last several years in multiple year
classes. In addition, there was a
large number of fish that measured
from 23 to 26 inches in length,
showing an especially strong year
class present.
Overall, the weather was

“Although there were a couple
small cold fronts that passed through
and some windy conditions at times,
water surface temperatures started
off in the mid-40’s, which is near
the ideal spawning temperature for
walleye.” said Fort Peck Reservoir
biologist Heath Headley. “Water

Holzhauer: next household name?
In case you missed Virgil Vaupel’s “Thanks for
Listening” in yesterday’s Buzz, he was talking about a pair
of Jeopardy! all-time bests, Ken Jenner who won 74 straight
games averaging around $24,000 per game and a total of $2.4
million dollars (plus or minus a few bucks as Virgil said), and
James Holzhauer, who is on a roll and continued his winning
ways on KRTV Wednesday night (or yesterday afternoon,
depending if you’re tuning into the Williston channel KUMV
at 3:30).
Holzhauer’s $71,885 in winnings last night brought
his 25-day total to $1,939,027. Wow, that’s an average of
$77,561.08 a day (down just a bit from the over $78,000 daily
average as Virgil reported, so it was a poor night for James)!
Good thing he has weekends off.
The 34-year-old professional sports gambler from Las
Vegas was really comfortable on Wednesday night’s episode
as he landed on a Double Jeopardy question and proceeded
to tell Alex Trebek that he’d like to wager “Two dimes, please.”
(gambling slang for $2,000)
“Alex replies, “Alright.”
James explains, “That’s two thousand.”
“I know,” Alex responded with a tone of I’m not an idiot.
So, as hozhauer has been racking up the cash, he’s been
spreading some of the wealth around in his home town.
Holzhauer has reportedly already donated thousands to
several organizations in Las Vegas including the Las Vegas-
Clark County Library District, which confirmed it had
received a $10,000 check from Holzhauer and his wife.
“@James_Holzhauer is a true champion for libraries!
He credits reading children’s books from the library as a key
to @jeopardy success,” the library tweeted.
“I’ve found that in an adult reference book, if it’s not a
subject I’m interested in, I just can’t get into it,” he told the New
York Times. “I was thinking, ‘What is the place in the library
I can go to get books tailored to make things interesting for
uninterested readers?’ Boom. The children’s section.”
If Holzhauer could happen to beat Jenner’s record of 74
games straight? Even if his daily average drops to a measly
$75,000, that would be $5,625,000. Wowsers.
But, one day at a time...
On March 6, 2019, Alex (age 78) announced that
he had been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer.
He noted that his prognosis was poor but that he would
aggressively fight the cancer in hopes of beating the odds
and would continue hosting Jeopardy! for as long as he
was able, joking that his contract obligated him to do so
for three more years. Recently he has lost his hair due to
chemotherapy. He’s already acknowledged wearing a wig on
the “Jeopardy” set.
“We have the summer months off,” he said, “so hopefully
my own hair will grow back. ’Cause I like my own hair!’”

Upper Missouri paddlefish season sailing along
by FWP Biologist Cody Nagel
The third weekend of the paddlefish
season was cold and wet. The weather
didn’t scare the anglers, though, and
pressure was moderate. Approximately
150 paddlefish have been reported as
harvested so far this season (as of May
21st), and snaggers are reporting good
catch rates.
This week could bring more wet
conditions, and anglers should expect
muddy road and camping conditions.
Flows have slightly increased, but no major
paddlefish migrations have been reported.
The fish are still spread out throughout
the area, with anglers catching paddlefish
above the Fred Robinson Bridge as well as
areas up to 30 river miles downstream of
the bridge.
Anglers are reminded to report their
paddlefish within 48 hours after harvest.
Several options are available for reporting:
• 406-444-0356 • 1-877-FWP-Wild •

Unlike trap netting and egg collection efforts last
year, which were quite poor, 2019 was considered more
of an average year in terms of start time and number of
eggs collected. “In 2018, we weren’t able to start until
April 23 due to late ice cover on most of the reservoir,”
said Headley. “This year was much more normal in
terms of spawning time and conditions, which allowed
us to reach our egg collection goals.”
Once collected, eggs were sent to the Miles City

and Fort Peck fish hatcheries.
“Egg quality and hatch success looks good so far,”
said Wade Geraets, Fort Peck Multispecies Fish Hatchery
manager, “but there a lot of variables that can affect the
final number of walleyes that eventually get stocked.”
As of press time, over 20 million fry have been
stocked into Fort Peck Reservoir and one million into
Tongue River Reservoir. Over 11 million fry are at
the Fort Peck and Miles City hatchery ponds, some of
which will be raised into fingerlings to be stocked later.
“Now that both the Miles City and Fort Peck
hatcheries have their ponds stocked,” noted Geraets, “we
will have to wait another four to six weeks to see how
many fingerlings we will be able to stock into reservoirs
around the state of Montana.”
Volunteers are the key to a successful spawning
operation. A dedicated 67 individual volunteers, from
all over the state of Montana, assisted with this season’s
egg collection. “We wouldn’t be able to set all the trap
nets, collect fish, and spawn them on a daily basis unless
