Tom Colicchio And Perry Farrell Fish For Sailfish, Which Do Not Make Great Pets

Deep-sea saltwater fishing is the new rock

Jan 17, 2013 1:16 pm

Top Chef judge Tom Colicchio has this fishing show on YouTube’s Reserve Channel called Hooked Up. It's a good one. In this episode he invites Perry Farrell (of Jane’s Addiction; high-pitched-voiced political screeds) to Florida to fish for grouper, snapper and the big-game sailfish. Some tequila drinking also goes down. Also, Farrell’s thoughts on prostitution and how his children are “not pussies” are discussed. Colicchio once again goes Charlie Rose on his guest, as he did with Eddie Huang in a previous episode.
