Angler Spotlight - Theron E.

This marks Theron's third trip to the Chutes and he has now been to Disney more often than Canada.  That ratio needs to change.   Anyway....Is this the year the follies stop? Because this is about the time they start being remembered and will win you WTF award pretty quickly.  In his first trip he tossed two pair of pliers into the river...in the same spot in the river...on separate days.  In his second trip (grab some coffee, this is quite a list), he cut a pot winning fish in half to make two 13 inchers.  He broke 3 rods, buried a hook in his hand, and lost a net overboard (without knowing it...Bernie found it on a beaver hut).  I guess here is to hoping his second year of boat captaining comes with less hiccups than the first.  To his credit, his first year of boat captaining also brought in some nice fish and anyone who has ever done that for the first time knows there is a learning curve.  He knows what he is doing now but I think the energy it will take to keep everything in the boat keeps him from being in the running for fisherman of the week.  He will win a pot or two and whomever his boat partner is for the day will not go fishless but I think this is the year Theron really concentrates on making the week in the boat uneventful.  That takes a lot of focus off the fishing.

  1. He's got two kids to set a good example for. That's a lot of pressure.

  2. "good" in this case is a relative term. For example, he may have to teach one of them, that sometimes, it is ok to cheat just a little bit. This lesson usually comes the day of The Virtue.
