Chad's Feud

Chad's been exchanging unpleasantries with a large brown trout as of late. Specifically, the last three outings. Always in the slick behind the big rock that breaks the current. The first time, I heard Chad shout and ran over just in time to see his line rip all the way across the river before the leader parted. The second time Chad had him on for longer, but the result was the same. In that episode, he lost his temper and his beloved Cub's hat. Today I was lucky enough to get the tantrum on camera after the hook popped loose and Chad lost his glasses in the ensuing anger management highlight. This is one reason why flyfishing is so expensive. Chad has lost about $10 in flies, $15 in hats, and $30 in glasses to this one fish! Take a look:

  1. Watched this last night. Still laughing this morning. Dang Chad I had no idea you were so temper-mental. Hope it wasn't me way back in the day who corrupted you. No way, that had to be Bishop for sure. So next time you feel like your up for a long road trip to do some slayin near my neck of the woods give me a call. We can meet up at Lee's Ferry down here in AZ. The waters cold, the trout are a plenty, just have to be wary of the slot limits
