During a fishing trip high in the mountains of Colorado, one of my college friends (James Occhipinti) slipped while wading in a shallow part of a river and got thoroughly soaked. He quickly developed symptoms of hypothermia which caused us to rush him to the nearest hospital over an hour away. After a short stay in the ER he recovered and was able to re-join us that night for a delicious steak dinner. Catching James was the best thing we caught all week…the elusive Blue Bellied Italian.
