If you're going to spend 30 years on television, you can't fake enthusiasm, and you can't pretend to be something you're not!
That's why, through all those years, a natural bond developed between Babe Winkelman and the people who watch him fish and hunt on TV.
As the host of "Good Fishing" and "Outdoor Secrets," seen throughout North America on both broadcast and cable stations, Babe has succeeded in fulfilling his dream of being self-employed in the outdoors industry through a combination of hard work, good business instincts, and a gift for communicating his love of hunting and fishing.
" Viewers identify with him," says longtime friend and fellow fishing pro Spence Petros, "because he seems like the kind of guy you'd like to spend the day in the boat with, or out stalking deer with. That's because he is that kind of guy; he's intense and focused on what he's doing, but inside him is a love and respect for nature that shines through in everything he does."
