We quit our jobs to start a fly fishing brand and to chase a notoriously uncooperative fish. Solid plan, right? Yeah, seemed smarter at the time. In Episode 1 of The Figure 8 Chronicles, we take you back to the early days—before the fly shop, before the brand, before this unhealthy obsession set in. Meet Blacktop, the musky that derailed our perfectly sensible lives and started this whole mess. Armed with fly rods and questionable decisions, we dove in headfirst—no scripts, no edits that make us look heroic (trust us, we tried), just a few fools battling egos, skeptics, and the fish that always has one more cruel joke up its sleeve. Welcome to The Figure 8 Chronicles. Let the quest begin. EPISODE 1 NOW LIVE. Link in bio.
