It's essential for anyone covering a largely unknown, odd-ball subculture to find an eccentric character that will carry the story. Scott Gurian has no trouble in that department with Thomas Riggs, the protagonist in this charming piece. Riggs' descriptions of noodling as he trudges through the water and the sound of his grunts as he struggles with his prey are some of the most delightfully surprising on-location audio I've heard in a while. The straightforward, almost-bland style of reporting only serves to make the piece even more hilarious; Scott acts somewhat like a straight-man in a comedy routine.
