Last month, my son, Tommy and I headed to Colorado to fish with Brother Shawn for a few days. We had a total blast and we caught a bunch of fish! We took our Go Pro and filmed much of the trip. Tommy made this video which we wanted to share with you all. We…

Renegades, Root Beers & the Avett Brothers
