Parker spoke of his success on the fishing tour, saying his success has been a blessing from God. He said while he had already became successful on the professional fishing circuit, that he didn’t have true happiness until becoming Christian. Parker joked that he enjoyed being a professional fisherman because “now I don’t have to be a real job.” He hasn’t let his success go to his head and now uses his notoriety to draw people to Christianity. “What I am doing here is 10 million, million times as important than what I do for a living,” Parker said.”I never have looked at myself as a celebrity. You don’t want to gain the world but lose your soul.”
All of the proceeds from Parker’s appearance will go to the Fellowship of Christian Anglers.
