The segment will feature Team National Guard pro Justin Lucas as he took Jenna Wolfe, who serves as Sunday "Today" co-anchor and a correspondent for NBC News' weekday "Today," fishing on the California Delta recently. "I was very excited to get the opportunity to take Jenna fishing and show her how fun the sport is," said Lucas. "She had never been fishing before, so I think she had a good time and learned a lot. It was a hot day making for some challenging conditions, but we had quite a bit of fun and Jenna was a great sport." Wolfe, who joined "Today" in August 2007, and Lucas spent the day fishing, discussing how tournament fishing has grown, how anglers prepare and practice for tournaments, the younger generation's involvement in the sport and addressed the topic of anglers as athletes.
