## What is Hookem Hard?

Once upon a time, long ago, there lived 5 great fishermen, each with his own special set of unique fishing skills.

One caught the most fish, another the largest.  The third was praised for releasing the many fish he caught, the fourth was unequaled in winning tournaments. The last fisherman had a commanding knowledge of fishing spots the world over.  But, none could agree who was truly the greatest fisherman.

So, they created a series of challenges and contests to settle the issue forever!! 

Because only one can be … THE SUPREME FISHERMAN
