Not personally. But yeah, he's from Takou Bay. Know of him, and knew he was going to be on letterman. Will watch the clip in a minute, but the word on the street is he's got a deal for a tv show.

He already has a TV show on here in NZ, The ITM Fishing Show, pretty sure thats been going for a year or two now.

Getting a deal in The US would be a pretty big deal
