This is for all everyone out there and your countless hours of standing on your favorite rock, freezing your balls off drifting, floating, double stacking, bobber dogging, and flogging the terminal hatchery waters this winter in search of your elusive chrome demon that keeps on bringing you back for more. May your vast fishing knowledge and vocal instructions to all around you be loud and clear and may your hook sets be solid this winter!
Sing along to the tune of Foreigner's, Juke Box Hero:
Hatchery Hole Hero
Standing in the rain, with his snoopy rod hung low
He couldn’t get a bite, the river was to damn low
Heard the splash of the fish, he could picture the fight
Put his tip to the water, and with all his might
He set the damn hook hard, but he whiffed it away
He saw chrome in his eyes, and the very next day
He bought a beat up Loo-mis, in the old tackle store
Didn’t know how to cast it, but he knew for sure
That one fishing rod, felt good in his hands
With a real bait caster, now he’s a man
Just one Loomis Rod, tip way down low
Gotta find his rock, only one way to go
So he started fishing
And he’s never gonna stop
Gonna keep on jigging
Someday will set that bobber stop
He’s a Hatchery Hole Hero, got chrome in his eyes
He’s a hatchery Hole Hero
He took one Loomis Rod,
Hatchery Hole Hero, chrome in his eyes
Hatchery Hole Hero,
He’ll bring home fish tonight
On a river near you, with a hatchery nearby
Telling everyone where to cast, or where to swing their fly
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one Loomis Rod, made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep on fishing
He just can’t stop
Gotta keep on bobber dogging
The boy has got to stay on top
To be a Hatchery Hole Hero, got chrome in his eyes
He’s a Hatchery Hole Hero, got chrome in his eyes
Yeah, Hatchery Hole Hero, got chrome in his eyes
With that one Loomis Rod, he’ll bring home fish
Bring home fish tonight
Now he needs to keep on fishing
He just can’t stop
Gotta keep on double stacking
The boy has got to stay on top
And be a Hatchery Hole Hero, got chrome in his eyes
He’s a Hatchery Hole Hero
Hatchery Hole Hero
Hatchery Hole Hero, he’s got chrome in his eyes
He’s got chrome in his eyes.
