On January 12, 2010, Lake Lanier fishing guide Shane Watson was inducted into The Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame for the year 2010 as a Legendary Guide.

ESPN Rods & Wheels

ESPN recently chose Shane Watson to be their guide for the Lake Lanier episode of the Reality Show, "Rods and Wheels".

These two lucky guys were chosen from a nation wide search to take the ultimate motorcycle riding, back-country fishing trip of a lifetime.

Tulsa, Oklahoma native, Brad Beasley and Marine veteran, Sergeant Joe Kowalski of Connecticut kick off their thirty-eight day excursion with a red fishing trip in New Orleans. From there, they biked 2500 miles through the "deep south" in search of some of the most amazing outdoors and fishing destinations in the region. From roadside streams to world-class fisheries, this is a story about two strangers, their incredible journey and the relationships they develop with people along the way.
