Jake Owen is teaching his daughter a vital country life skill — fishing. 

The singer took to Instagram to share a video of him and his 3-year-old daughter, Paris, fishing on a river. Paris holds a child-size fishing rod in her hands as her dad talks her through the process of how to properly use it. “Push it in and let it go when you release it,” he advises as the tot gives a hopeful look at the camera before casting the reel into the water. 

“There you go! Good job,” Jake says. “Did you get one?” he asks as Paris reels in the line, repeating after her dad as he says, “Come here, fish.” 

“Are we fishing or what?” he asks his youngest child, who gives a smile and a thumbs-up. “Raise a girl that can cast a fishing pole,” Jake adds in the caption. 

Jake and his fiancé, Erica Hartlein, welcomed Paris in 2019. She joins older sister Olive Pearl, whom Jake shares with his ex-wife.
