My family (for whatever reason) always refer to themselves as The Bears. Once when I was on a fishing trip, I had wrangled two stripped bass caught on my trot line. I was in waist deep water trying to grab my catch around the gills. A fisherman watched me and compared me to a grizzly bear trying to catch salmon out of a stream. 😂😂😂 But the symbolism stuck with me about Bears being a guardian of nature, live and let live, but is courageous enough to protect their loved ones, friends, and the weak with unmatched ferocity. So.. it's a combination of things but Red grizzly is about as personal as it gets.
