Bio

“Speak softly and carry a big stick.” I don’t know who said it first, but Hugo Harrisson has apparently taken the phrase to heart. Back with a vengeance, Hugo broke out to be one of the biggest claimers of the year. You’d never guess that Hugo was coming off knee trouble last year based on his performance. Hugo “I’m Back” Harrisson is here to prove that once again he is a dominant force. Big Alaskan lines are still trembling from the beatdown Hugo put on them this winter…
