Jared Jeffries has his own fishing show on the Outdoor Channel

Do you enjoy fishing? Maybe you want to learn more about the craft so that you aren't the one being laughed at on that upcoming fishing trip.

Either way, don't fret. Jared Jeffries is here to help you.

Yes, seriously.

The well-traveled, 11-year NBA veteran - who most recently played 38 games with the Portland Trail Blazers last season - didn't garner much interest on the free agent market this summer, so he turned his back on the hardwood and took his talents to the water.

Following through on a lifelong dream, Jeffries is now hosting a new show on the Outdoor Channel called "Modern Fishing."

From the show's website:

Jared intends to share angling tips, tricks, and techniques in a fun and informative way. After watching an episode of Modern Fishing, you should be able to walk away with a bit more knowledge under your belt. With trips planned to exotic fishing destinations, and a number of elusive species on his bucket list, Jared’s passion is to share Modern Fishing with the world. If you like to fish, and have a love of sports too, then follow his adventures as he fishes in the Caribbean and across the globe in search of challenges and glory…Game ON!

Check out a trailer for the new show here.

This is the same Jared Jeffries that once went on an alligator hunting trip with fellow outdoorsman Brad Miller, so this shouldn't come as too much of a surprise.
