This past Wednesday I had a chance to play a little hooky.I was invited to be the "celebrity guest" on Hrbek Outdoors TV ... naturally I said yes. I am sure most , if not all, know who Kent Hrbek is...#14... Grand Slam game 6, 1987... Minnesota Twins? Anyway, I was contacted though my website: http://www.minnesotasteelheader.com/ and referred by the producer, from the"Cook what you catch" television show which I appeared on last year.
Upon my sweet wife's approval, I headed up to the North shore on Tuesday afternoon for a little scouting for the Wednesday filming. We fished a couple great rivers and caught some nice steelhead. For those that are not aware, many anglers can go a season or three without catching a steelhead, so this was pretty sweet. We also saw a moose and a host of other cool wildlife sure to make the show.
At the end of the day I was invited to have dinner and drinks with the boys, but I was not sure if my better half would go for it. Remember, Angela has been toughing it out with all 3 boys and on top of that had her 1st day back at work! Thinking very cautiously but creatively I made the call home then, handed the phone to Kent. Needless to say, I got the green light to stay in Two Harbors for dinner.
At the end of the day I can truly say I had a complete blast spending the day with Herbie and Gis... thanks guys and thanks to my understanding, loving wife!
