Music fans know American singer-songwriter Uncle Kracker (above) as the turntablist for Kid Rock, and as a successful solo country and rock artist, with hit tunes including “Follow Me” and “Drift Away.” But what many don’t know is that Uncle Kracker (aka Matthew Shafer) is also a huge angler. Born in the fishing-crazy state of Michigan, he still lives on the shores of Lake St. Clair, where he keeps his 25-foot centre-console fishing boat and chases the lake’s world-class walleye, bass and muskies. In this episode of Blue Fish Radio, producer/host Lawrence Gunther talks to Uncle Kracker about music, fishing and how both help you through these tough times.
