Hat Trick ≠ Grand Slam
Yup, I'm lazy. And busy. And would rather fish than type. But...I'm also annoyed. When I see a report entitled "_____ River Grand Slam," be it on a fourm or blog, I get excited. I can't wait to see what species constitute the Slam. I mean, it's usually pretty easy to guess, if you know the river (even by name), but it's just cool to see. Inevitably, though, I tend to be quite disappointed. "Some NYC watershed grand slam today...landed a bunch of rainbows...one big brown...just as I was leaving got this brookie. The end." WTF. Can't you count? You got the wrong sport, Sport. What you just landed was a hat-trick. And my ire. Hat tricks are great. Good on ya. But it ain't a slam. Is it nit-picky? Am I just being a doucher? Probably. But I'm OK with that.
