Jane Seymour is best known for her TV and movie roles. 
So, you might be surprised to learn the star of Dr. Quinn 
Medicine Woman is also an avid angler.

They probably didn't realize that I've fished in many 
parts of the world. I've even fished in the Marquesas 
Keys in Florida, where I caught a 65-pound tarpon. :08 

Seymour, who served as the honorary chairperson for 
National Fishing and Boating Week in June, knows first 
hand the positive impact boating and fishing has on 
family life. 

We have amazing conversations, we all really appreciate 
the outdoors; And it's a great way to get everyone away 
from the stresses of their work, or their studies, or the 
computer, or the video games. It's just a wonderful 
regrouping for the family. :14

Seymour sees these activities as ways to help parents 
keep children away from destructive activities.

A lot of parents are really worried about kids getting 
hooked on the wrong things in life. And, you know, 
getting them hooked on fishing and boating, I think, 
is a really good idea. There's nothing more life-enhancing, 
I think, than being out on the water and being at one with 
nature. :14
