That's Wild Film: Chasing Scales– Hill Country Gold

Caught up in sizzling temperatures, I make the most out of my time left in the Texas Hill Country by chasing my favorite species – golden bones; ghetto trout; mudsuckers– carp. Despite the sun's sear, I find my way wading into mudflats and immersing myself into thick brush to target these fish. Even on an eight-weight rod, I'm just along for the ride when a ten-pound carp decides to grace me with the opening of its barbel-lined lips. I unwillingly greet wild pigs, watersnakes, and creatures of the shore to trek in search of one more scarlet tail.

That's Wild.

That's what we said too. That's Wild Outdoors is founded on the experiences of two enthusiasts who simply cannot get enough; of dreamers, who share a bond through nature and expression; and of storytellers, who can't let go of a creative obsession. Whether separated by a rod's length of chalky water, or by a mountain range that spans across state borders; together, we share a commitment to the stories that just need to be told.
