JD Rinne In this photo, I was…Somewhere in the middle of Missouri, on my first fishing expedition. I had cast out about five or six times (once narrowly missing my companion), and I managed to snag this little guy. After posing for posterity's sake, I took the hook out myself and turned him loose. My seasoned-fisherman friend didn't catch anything, much to his dismay. Call it beginner's luck!

The sexiest accent in the world is…British
My biggest travel gripe is…I hate, hate, hate waiting for luggage; you've gotten through the hard part—why does it take so long to get your bag?
My best road trip was…Kansas to North Carolina, 1997; my mom and I nearly killed each other, but we saw the best of middle America and the South
