MailTribune.com: The Fish Bum Diaries


MailTribune.com: The Fish Bum Diaries: "His head still pounding from too much goat-milk vodka the night before, Justin Crump makes the best of idle time waiting for his backwoods shuttle van to pick him up along the true backwaters of Mongolia.

Onto massive saltwater hooks, Crump lashes foot-long strands of course hair trimmed off a yak's back at a nearby village.
