Melinda Jacobs kept getting her hooks into a man while fishing for an episode of "Cook What You Catch with Randy Meier."
More specifically, Jacobs said, "A married man with five daughters -- I don't think his wife would be too thrilled to hear me say that." Kami Meier knows that she's the only woman who can truly lure Randy, who deserved hazard pay after dodging the Lake Minnetonka casting displays from Melinda.
"I got him in the shoulder twice," she said. "Think I got him in the stomach a couple of times. Back. Almost took a shoe."
Why doesn't one of Irwin Jacobs' daughters cast a fishing line any better than this?
This question rendered the normally loquacious Melinda silent for about 15 seconds. Said Meier: "She's [a member of] an iconic boat-slash-Minnesota fishing family. The woman has no clue, I've gotta tell you. From holding the rod upside down, it was like teaching a 6-year-old who just picked up a rod. She was a great sport, very entertaining. We had a lot of fun, but it was a work in progress all day, believe me."
The episode, which airs at noon Saturday on My29, also features Chad Grigsby, pro bass fisherman on FLW Outdoors, the tour owned by financier Irwin Jacobs, the famous boat maker.
