The Friday Funhouse

The Video of the Week

For those who haven't heard, Frank O'Brien--the inventor of the Tycoon Rod used by Zane Grey, Hemingway, and other famous saltwater anglers--was inducted a week ago into the IGFA Hall-of-Fame. His son Tim O'Brien is an ORCA, NFLCC and FATC member who's recently written a wonderfully well-received book about his father which you can check out by Clicking Here. Also make sure to watch the induction video below:
