Warm water and a desire to see the bottom brought him across the country to fish with his Buddy Rush, but we"ll see if he can also scratch a "bucket head" off his hit list...

Keep Breathing

It's wintertime in San Diego and Rush is in Ali's backyard trying to cash in on a rain check for a promised species.
