He happily posed with a fish, just like anglers everywhere. While he didn't share the exact lake he was on, many hopped in the comments writing that it was indeed Mille Lacs Lake that he was fishing on.

Others wrote that it looked like Lake Of The Woods. A local weighed in on the topic in the comments section, saying he was indeed in Minnesota and he recognized it from fishing in the same area the weekend prior.

Hank Williams Jr. Will Be Back In Minnesota Soon!

You can bet on the fact that he will be out on the lake later this year - he is headlining a show at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand! He's headlining the show along with his friend and fellow music icon Marty Stuart.
