Luke Bryan’s Son Wonders What Dad Does All Day

Luke Bryan's son wonders what his dad does all day. While Luke is known as one of country music's hardest-working performers, just recently, his preteen son Tate pondered what his dad was doing while he was at school. 

Bryan told us in a recent interview, "Tate last week was like, 'You know dad, when you're successful like you, what do you do during the day when I leave?' Essentially, he's saying he's so jealous like, he'll see me putting on my golf attire, and then the next day, he'll see me putting some fishing shirt on. He does not understand that I work Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and now it's Monday and Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are kind of my goof-off days; he's just enamored."  

Luke says his sons Tate and 16-year-old Bo know why dad is famous now, but growing up, the boys' lives were different. He said, "They grew up in it so they don't know anything other. For all we know, they think that most dads are entertainers and singers. I mean, at one point at my house for dinner, Lady A and Willie Robertson and all these celebrities, they may have just thought that this is what everybody does. They may not realize that some people build cars and computers and stuff like that."

Friends of the famous family may also be confused with what Bryan does for a living. He told us, "Caroline's friends have two daughters, and we only see them on holidays, and when I am off and these little girls they're looking at me, and they ask their parents, 'Every time we see Mr. Luke, he's not really doing anything. He's just knocking around the house, does he do anything?'"

Bryan recently revealed what he's most proud of, and it's not what some may think. While he is proud of his musical accomplishments, what is close to home makes him most proud.

Luke told us in a recent interview, "I am happy through all this. I have enjoyed it, and I've enjoyed it with everybody who's been in the circle of it, including my wife and kids."

The country superstar continued, "Being able to navigate all this and have a home that feels like home and that's a real home. To have all American boys doing all American things. I am leaving here (Nashville interview studio) and rushing down to Columbia, Tennessee, to watch baseball games."

He added with a smile, "I've been able to be a big celebrity and live the celebrity life, but I've also been able to live as a real human, too, and not have to sacrifice a lot of stuff because I was a celebrity."

"I didn't hide in the house and not leave the house because I'm so worried that someone's gonna want a picture while I'm eating dinner."

Country music and the outdoors go hand in hand. Many country superstars enjoy outdoor sports, and have since they were kids. Fishing is a big draw for country stars, and Luke Bryan even sings about it in his 2015 chart-topper "Huntin', Fishin', And Lovin' Every Day."

In the song's catchy chorus, Bryan sings, "Huntin', fishin', and lovin' every day / That's the prayer that a country boy prays / Thank God He made me this way / Huntin', fishin' and lovin' every day / Early in the morning, late in the evening / I'm getting red dirt rich, and Flint River paid / Huntin' and fishin' and lovin' every day."

The popular song starts out in the first verse, "If I could make a livin' walkin' in the woods / You could bet I'd be sittin' pretty good / High on a hill lookin' at a field downwind / If I could make a nickel off a turning 'em bass / Never worry about the price of gas / I'd be wheelin' and dealin' and sittin' there reelin' 'em in."

You don't have to be an expert to enjoy fishing; it's a practice that has existed since the dawn of human civilization.

Fishing lovers and hobbyists love to get together and to learn more about fishing techniques. They also work often during the summer months to improve their ability to reel in fish and have a good time doing it.

According to National Today, fishing teachers can be found teaching newcomers important fishing skills and methods during the summer months.

Country stars like Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan are among those who tout fishing and share their love of the water sport whenever they can. Brad used to tell us that early in his career until just a couple years ago when Grand Ole Opry star Little Jimmie Dickens died, he and the Opry legend would go fishing on many a weekend morning. They two, who were generations apart, bonded through fishing.

Let's look at some of country music's most passionate fishermen.

Brad is a huge fisherman, and when Grand Ole Opry legend Little Jimmie Dickens was alive, the two men often fished. Brad even features his sons fishing in promos for his new song "So Many Summers." One of Paisley's first big hits was a song he wrote and performed in 2001 called "I'm Gonna Miss Her," about choosing fishing over a girl. Before Brad signed with his record label, Garth Brooks wanted to record the song, but Brad held it for himself. Good call! Fun Fact: The video for the song is where Paisley met his wife of 20 years now, Kimberley Williams.

Blake is a big outdoorsman and fisherman. He has been working on his three stepsons in the last few years to embrace the outdoors and fishing. Shelton often shares his catches on his social media. In 2021, he posted about a big catch, writing to fans, "I'll bet some of y'all have never heard of a paddlefish. We got them here in my home state! Y'all come to Oklahoma, where the outdoors is always open!"

Luke constantly posts about his outdoor trips with buddies or his wife, Nicole. The couple recently took a trip to Montana, where they spent some fishing time. Last year, Combs posted about a big catch. He wrote on Instagram, "Sorry honey, but I got to click over… I got a 6-pound largemouth on the other line."

Bryan may be the most excited about his fishing life and often posts about himself and his sons Bo and Tate's fishing adventures. Luke is so in tune with the fishing lifestyle that he even fished with celebrity fisherman Bill Dance not long ago. He posted, along with a video of his time with Dance, "I've been waiting my whole life for this moment. 11.6 baby @aquatroyg @jccaney @lews_fishing @kevinvandamfishing @bassproshops."

Thomas is an avid "fly-fisherman" who takes time to fish with his wife and girls whenever possible. He has shared many fishing moments of his life on his social media, including one from a few years ago, where he caught his first "bonefish."
