Trae (Trey) Stephens

Are you guys close?

Very recently.

In the last five years or so, we've kind of rekindled our sibling love.

And we do a bunch of stuff together.

He and I just went on a fishing trip up in Alaska in July, trying to spend more time hanging out with each other.

Well, that trip was a lot of salmon and trout, but Alaska is an incredible ecosystem.

I mean, they have everything.

I think in the

Three days that we were fishing, we caught chum salmon, king salmon, sockeye salmon, basically every species, and then nailed some huge rainbow trout as well, which was really fun.

Nice.

I love fly fishing, man.

Oh, it's the best.

For someone like me that lives and works every day in a city, there's something about going out and standing in rushing water

and feeling the tension of the line in the current, it totally disarms you.

Therapeutic.

Yeah, it's super, super therapeutic for me.

What were you into as a kid?

I mean, I fished a lot.

My dad was an avid fisherman and hunter, and so kind of did all those outdoor stuff with my dad.

We lived on a bunch of acreage in the middle of the woods in a log cabin that my dad built literally with his bare hands by himself.
