JEREMY FRICKING WADE. How is it he's the coolest person in the world. Like how to other men even go through life thinking the are adequate when this man exists. No man is cool enough to wrestle a fish to the death. This man looks thoes punk fish in their little fish faces and says "your mine "and grabs a fish with his bare hands and fights it in hand to fin combat. Jeremy wade you are a man a myth and most of all a LEGEND.
