 LESSER INTELLIGENCE |
The Fishmaster of Slightly Lesser Intelligence (Kevin Graves):
Never
seen without his life jacket and stupid expression, the Fishmaster of
Slightly Lesser Intelligence was born to a couple of "pinheads" in a
traveling side show circus. As a young child he became friends with the
other Fishmaster, but disappeared during a circus tour in Mexico. Years
later the other Fishmaster took a vacation south of the border and found
him running with a pack of feral Chihuahuas. After a tearful reunion,
the Fishmaster of Slightly Lesser Intelligence joined his friend to
become an official Fishmaster.
It has been noted that the Fishmaster of Slightly Lesser Intelligence seems to get dumber each show, but in episode #033, Back To School, it was determined that he is not getting dumber, but has had momentary surges of intelligence in past episodes. One theory is that lack of Fishmaster Brew combined with jerky treats for dogs creates a strange chemical reaction which produces temporary reasoning skills. The surviving family tree of the Fishmaster of Slightly Lesser Intelligence is vague. |

The Other Fishmaster (Carl Edge):
The Fishmaster was raised in an
undisclosed location in the deep south. Early in life he knew he wanted
to be a master fisherman so when he graduated sixth grade he left his
home to study with the Master Fishmaster and learn the secrets of this
ancient art. While rarely catching fish he still often refers to the
teachings of the Master Fishmaster and the written word of the Master
Master Fishmasters.
The Fishmaster often refers to his large family back home including references to his somewhat shady father (who was responsible for doing in several family members) and an 'evil' twin separated at birth. |
