Running Down the Quotes

Chris Santella writes a story about fly fishing for rooster's in which an Oregon guide snipes the classic line from Running Down the Man.

“Though they’re very fast and strong fighters, the greatest appeal roosterfish have is their appearance,” said Jad Donaldson, a fly-fishing guide from Oregon who leads trips to Baja. “Roosters are exotic, even sexy — and I don’t often use that word to describe fish. They’re the Liz Hurley of sportfish, as far as I’m concerned.”
