Fish Hog vs Groundhog: Winter Predictions

Garrett Ostler’s entertaining video features a trout, dubbed a “fish hog,” predicting six more weeks of winter, offering anglers a lighthearted perspective on the season’s chilly performance.

Garrett Ostler just gave Groundhog Day a serious run for its money with his latest video from Hebgen Lake—starring what he dubbed a “fish hog” predicting six more weeks of winter.

Instead of watching a fuzzy rodent in a burrow, Garrett caught a very nice and eager trout, as if it were announcing the extended cold season with a splash. Just another way to give anglers and winter lovers alike a lighthearted take on winter’s interesting (to say the least) performance this season.

If a “fish hog” says winter’s not over…let’s try to believe it!
