It was a work thing. He used to be on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission when I worked in Texas and he, his son Reed (or maybe Reid) and country music singer Steve Warriner were out doing some "scouting" for a fishing show they were doing and came into the boat ramp where we were working that day.

It was pretty cool.
