Last year I saw an episode where he and a "friend" went offshore fishing. Tred was an overbearing, know-it-all jerk the whole time. All I could do was sit there and think "who in the hell would be his friend if he treated everyone like that" . At the end of the episode, the friends defends Tred by saying "that's just the way he is". If any of my friends talked to me like that, they would probably need a new hunting buddy or at least a boot removed from their @ss.
I saw that very episode. It was the first time I ever saw Tred Barta on a show and is the reason I haven't watched himon one since. My God what an A-hole. I kept thinking that the other guys on that boat must not have one single functioning testicle between them or they would club this SOB in the head and heave him over the side for the fish to dispose of. If he spoke to me that way once, I'd knock a spark off his old @$$. When he woke up it would take an hour to convince him that he hadn't been struck by lightening. From what I hear he can't shoot worth a flip but just based on that one episode I wouldn't care if he could pick lint off a gnats @$$ at 50 yards with a slingshot. I'll never watch any showthat jerk is on again.
