Ex-NBA player Jared Jeffries has his own fishing show

What do you do when you're 32 years old, fresh off an 11-year NBA career and have made over $40 million in your first chosen profession?

You relax. You put your feet up. You fish.

That's what Jared Jeffries does, anyway. The 6-foot-11 power forward played in the NBA as recently as last season but appears to be enjoying his post-playing days, turning a hobby into his own show on the Outdoor Channel.

Yes, "Modern Fishing with Jared Jeffries" is a thing. Per 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!

Cool cool cool.
