A photo in honor of Wisconsin’s fishing opener this weekend - Wausau operations manager, Kent Stadler, and STEP associate, Brenna H., doubling up on walleye on Lake Michigan. This is what a typical weekend looks like for many associates at the Wausau branch and Brenna thought it was time to show Kent how it was really done. It might be hard to tell in the picture, but Brenna caught the bigger walleye! #VikingElectric
