Lifelong rivals Max Goldman (Creator/WalterMatthau) and John Gustafson (Creator/JackLemmon) are now reluctant friends, with their children engaged to each other, and Gustafson enjoying his still-recent marriage to Ariel Truax (Creator/AnnMargret). Both aging men are looking forward to the opening of the fishing season in their native Wabasha, Minnesota, to engage in their annual hunt of the "Catfish Hunter", the lake's largest catfish. To their disappointment, they learn that the only local bait shop is closing; Maria Ragetti (Creator/SophiaLoren), its new owner, is converting it to an Italian restaurant.
