Steve Mesler is, among other things, a Bellwether author, three-time Olympian, member of the U.S. Olympic Committee, an Olympic Gold Medalist, and founder of Classroom Champions (it’s entirely possible he doesn’t introduce himself in that order very much). He can also fish.
Here he is earlier this month in Alberta with a bull trout. Bull trout, an aggressive hard fighting fish, are threatened in the U.S. and an illegal target species in a lot of places. But in remote Western Canada it’s a different story and big fun.
Mesler is hardly the only education personality who fishes. Here are pictures of hundreds of education types since 2006 showcasing their angling adventures.
