The Valley Express-Jimmy Gesswein Reel Fisherman Award and Contest Starts Today

Today is June 4, and Jimmy Gesswein’s birthday! What’s Jimmy’s favorite thing to eat with birthday cake and ice cream? Fish! Especially a big whopper he has caught himself.

Catch up with Jimmy and wish him a big Happy Birthday to go with this monster he caught on Big Stone Lake.

Some days Jimmy is at the lake, and some days he is at work with his dad at Gesswein Motors. So, if you call there, and he doesn’t answer, you can bet he’s on the “other line.”

Think you’re a reel fisherman? Want to see your fish online? Send a photo of your catch-of-the-week to the Valley Express and we will publish it. From the photos sent in each week, The Valley Express will draw a winner of the Jimmy Gesswein Reel Fisherman Award. Each weekly winner nets a nice, new fishing lure.

Send your photo with your full name, address, phone number, the species of fish, and what lake you caught it to:news@thevalleyexpress.com
