From birth to death, anyone can fish. I just think it's fantastic to see old people going fishing with young people and teaching them things. I'm very, very critical.
I hope when I take my last breath I haven't got any regrets, because I am making up for lost time with my family.
So, when I say 'match the hatch', if the fish are taking the nymph, and you're actually producing a replica of a flying insect, you'll catch fresh air.
The nicknames - people say they couldn't understand it, but look, I have really enjoyed my time away from 3AW, and I have discovered one thing - that I am more than just a yelling fanatical football follower who makes up nicknames.
I'm just a battler making an honest buck who goes home to his missus and his dog at the end of the day.
I tried to change my style a few years ago because people didn't like the over-the-top thing.
If you introduce kids to fishing, they become good citizens.
I've known Jan, probably, very well for, well, for over a decade. And the passion that Jan just showed the viewers in that particular piece is very real.
My wife says I'm making a noise like a stranded whale. I think I have a major snoring problem.
I think it's time for me to get out, because at the moment I'm only thinking about fishing 21 hours a day, and they're the waking moments. And even when I close my eyes I'm thinking about it.
Because each are going to blame each other. The thing that Canberra has to really get right is the sharing of the resource. But my problem with people in the government who are there for a short time is that there's no consequences for some of these decisions they make.
The outdoors, the beautiful environment, both in fresh and salt water. And the thing that concerns me is the amount of kids that stand on street corners, or go into pinball parlours, and call it recreation.
3AW approached me - I didn't approach them - and it is just an absolute opportunity of a lifetime in my 68th year to come home and rub shoulders with the people I am most comfortable with.
I'm delighted to have been accepted into the U.S.A. with my fishing program after its success in Australia and throughout the U.K., Europe, and Asia.
To have my wife stand in front of me on television and give her love and support to me, I will never forget it, and I owe that to her for the rest of my life.
I think it's wrong that so many people pass on from this existence, and take all their knowledge with them.
I just think, at my stage of life, becoming a new grandfather, it's about time I started to behave like a grandfather.
We intend to bring fun and family activities to the American market from Down Under, where we believe we have some of the best fishing in the world and the best conservative approach to fishing through catch, kiss, and release.
And one thing I can be proud of is we have a 'Come and Try Fishing' day every year. And there's 20 venues throughout the state, and see, these thousands of kids who've never been fishing come along.
Life is too precious to worry about what other people are saying or what they think.
