“Every time I’ve learned about a situation, I’ve always been reflecting. Whether it’s a fishing trip, hunting trip, school, life, whatever the case is. You get done with your day, and if you can sit and reflect about it, that is when you learn.”
– Coltin Gresser
This week on the show, Ed and Reid sit down with Coltin Gresser of the Degenerate Fish Hippies, live on the shores of Yellowstone Lake.
