Luke Bryan’s Fishing Adventures ‘All About Including the Family’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Award-winning country singer Luke Bryan recently told podcast hosts Rob Stone and Holly Hutton all about a fishing trip he wants to go on with his family of four this year.
“I’ve done an Amazon peacock bass fishing trip. My children know that I’ve done it, and they want to go do it,” the singer said.
Bryan and his wife Caroline share sons Bo, 15, and Tate, 13.
“It’s all about including the family on these things too,” Bryan said. “I’ve got a lot of crazy little things that we’ll try to check off the list as a family. I’ve done a really, really great job of brainwashing [my] children into doing exactly what I like to do.”
Bryan loves fishing with his kids and even wrote a song called “Huntin’, Fishin’ And Lovin’ Every Day.”
Country 102.5 reported last year, “Luke Bryan has had a great week of fishing before CMA Fest…Luke posted a series of videos and images on his Instagram of his fishing expeditions, including where he goes underwater to catch a fish by hand, seriously impressing his sons on the boat.”
“Last fishing trip before touring starts. Me and @flintdavisfishing have had a few awesome days,” Bryan captioned the post.
Katy Perry, who judges alongside Bryan on AMERICAN IDOL, said, “Wow, ok, I believe you now you do love hunting and fishing and loving every day.”
Movieguide® previously reported how Bryan’s sons see them as their dad rather than a hit singer:
Country singer Luke Bryan says his sons are unimpressed by his superstar status.
“To them, I’m just Dad,” he told People. “I never will forget for Father’s Day, my 15-year-old, he goes, ‘Happy Father’s Day, Dad, to the guy that has more fun than anybody.’ I loved that quote.”
…“I mean, they totally understand it now when they start Googling Dad’s accomplishments and reading all the chatter about what the net worth of all this is, and you have to sit down and really clarify a lot of stuff with them,” Bryan said. “Tate understands that Dad could probably make a call to a rollercoaster park and get some fast passes to get on the rollercoaster, but we send them on trips that they have to wait in line — it’s just balancing.”
Just as Bryan still makes his kids wait in lines at theme parks, he isn’t about to spoil teenage Bo when it comes to his first car purchase.
“He tried to pick it out,” the singer said. “We realized real quick, ‘You’re not getting that.’ He wants a big truck, and we’re going to get him something, but we’re not getting him what he wants, let’s say that.”
Bryan previously opened up about his struggles with Bo behind the wheel.
“He’s grown up on the farm driving side-by-sides and stuff like that,” Bryan explained. “I just assumed that it would translate to being on the highway. It did not. But, hey, we got him rockin’ and rollin’, and now we’re just trying to figure out what will be the first vehicle in his life.”
In addition to fishing trips and AMERICAN IDOL activities, Bryan’s music tour is on the agenda for 2024. As of right now, details on the tour are scarce.
