You can say what you want about Tred but what you see on the show is the same guy you will see on the street. Tred is a spokes person for and also uses a line of fishing boats that my company makes and I was able to give him a tour of one of our facilities. I thought he was a great guy. He asked a lot of questions. He never acted like he knew everything and I was impressed by that. But he does carry his fare share of knowledge and he will share it with you if you ask.
