Looking for JB quote about fly fishing and Eric Clapton

Post by La Vie Dansante »

Hey all,

I'm trying to find a JB quote that goes something along the lines of: ...I know I can't play the guitar like Eric Clapton, but I bet he wishes he could cast a 10 weight fly rod like I do...

I THINK it might be from the "Jimmy Buffett Uncut" 60 Minutes special (also aired on CMT).

Do anyone know where I can find that video or a transcript of that show? Or better yet, does any know/have the quote? :lol:


Thanks in advance for any help!

All I can find is a short snippet of the 2004 interview conducted by Steve Kroft. Short of tracking it down elsewhere, your best bet is probably to contact the 60 Minutes folks and request a transcript. Unfortunately, I don't see a link for contact info on their website but surely there must be a way to contact them online somehow. I guess it just depends on how bad you want to know.

That's a great suggestion about contacting 60 Minutes about a transcript.

No problem. It may cost you something but if you want to find out that bad, it may be worth it to you. I haven't watched the show in a while but I'm pretty sure they give an address or phone number at the end of each broadcast for anyone that may be interested in receiving a transcript of the program. Best of luck to you.

I watched that show and being a big time fly swatter/bug boy,I'd say you nailed the quote.
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.
