I've looked up to Chris Hunt from the first time I met him in Montana. From his height, to his passion, his sense of humor, to his love for the outdoors and the natural world, to his ability to welcome in a stranger and make him feel like one of the pack, it all adds up to one thing...big. Especially during spritzer season. Who am I to turn down some good old fashion hospitality?
I'd like to thank Chris for the opportunity to go against better judgement and answer his "Twenty Questions". A weekly installment that is always entertaining and insightful, especially considering the cast of characters in which he interviews. It's pretty impressive.
Despite interviewing the likes of me, Chris does great work for an organization that is near and dear to my heart, Trout Unlimited. He works as their Director of Communications, delivering a hard message, while wading through a political landscape that is dicey to say the least. And he does it for something that we all appreciate and love, trout. Pretty cool.
And when Chris isn't wrapped up fighting the good fight, he can be found either on the river, shooting pesky birds, or writing on his blog "Eat More Brook Trout". I always picture Chris with a smile on his face, cold drink in hand, and a witty comment to back it all up. I'm lucky to call him a friend.

And as Chris might implore you to do, "Save the west...eat a brook trout".
I hope you enjoy the interview.
Cheers!

enjoyed the interview...posted reply over there.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean! When we meet up on the Poudre or anywhere in between, there will be no awkward silences as we'll both be catching the exact same thing...ha
DeleteYou handled yourself very well in the interview. No flubs. No, not being able to name a newspaper you read, or poorly constructed tangential statements about foreign countries, or nipple slips.... That we know of... Seriously, nice work. it was fun to read.
ReplyDeleted nash- Thanks! Although, doing an interview from afar, who's to know if there wasn't a nipple slip or anything else that might be construed as embarrassing...
DeleteThat was a fun read! '...thick Midwestern accent...'? Pppfffffft! I always figured it was everyone else who had the accent! Mike
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! That's why I thought all broadcasters came from the midwest. maybe I need to stop apologizing for it...it's aboot time!
DeleteNicely done Sanders. I guess you're as crazy as I imagined...let's go fishing!
ReplyDeleteHoward- Thanks! I'm ready whenever you are...I've seen the pictures, I know you fish :-)

ReplyDeleteIn all interviews one takes a moment to reflect---this interview is a prime example. Your hero question and answer got my attention. I too truly admire individuals who are willing to lend a helping hand. Really enjoyed this post!!!!
Bill- Thanks. Gotta respect selflessness. Glad you enjoyed the interview!
DeleteNice interview. Glad you got to fish with Chris and the gang...what a fun time! And you have to get out fishing with Howard before I get back out there!!
ReplyDeleteRD! Fishing with Chris and the gang was the highlight of my summer for sure. Everyone on the trip was a ton of fun. And as for Howard, I'm looking forward to it :-)
DeleteJust another skill-challenged fly fisherman answering silly questions. One would hope that this Chris Hunt character could find something better to do with his time, and barring that, hopefully he can at the very least engage us with more amusing interview subjects.
ReplyDeleteHey Rod...glad you took the time out of your busy schedule to swing by. Your comments are always appreciated, if not down right uplifting :-)
Deletesee you soon!
Kudos, Huck Finn is a great choice!
ReplyDeleteBlake- Huck was the only person that seems to fit...he was the right choice!
DeleteSean, just read the 20 Q's and it's safe to say that dude loves you and for good reason. Great read.
ReplyDeleteI'll guess you received no money for the spot, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.
Rhythm- Thanks!
Delete"So I got that going for me...which is nice"
