One of the highlights of my career was taking Tommy Lee Jones fishing last week. Here is how it went.
I picked up Tom and his friends Jay and Wes at the hotel at 8:30. Small talk was made on the way to the Colorado River. Tom wanted me to get his friends started first so I did. I then put Tom in the best hole. He hooked a Rainbow on his first cast, and landed one one his second. YES!!!, is what I thought to myself. After helping Wes and Jay for a few minuets, I untangled Tom's rig and he promptly caught a brown trout. Mr. Jones seemed to enjoy himself, unhooking and releasing his fish, but more than that. Often sitting on a rock reflecting, commenting on the beautiful scenery, and even learning more about the sport. Jay and Wes also caught fish and then we enjoyed a decent spread prepared by Tom's personal chef. The day could not have gone better. I even learned a few things; Don't bring cellophane wrapped sandwiches to a movie star who has a personal chef, learn to shut up once in a while, and something I already know... I have an awesome job.
