Reel It In, It's National Go Fishing Day on Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz

First up is National Recess at Work Day, observed every year on the third Thursday in June. The idea is simple, take that same playground style break you got as a kid and bring it into the workday. Experts say stepping away from your desk for a few minutes can boost both physical health and productivity, so don't feel guilty about that midday breather.

Today is also International Picnic Day, a global excuse to grab a blanket, round up friends, family, or coworkers, and eat lunch outside for once. Pair that with National Go Fishing Day, and you've basically got the perfect itinerary for a low key Thursday, a pole, a pal, and a nearby lake, pond, or pool, depending on how literally you take it.

Fishing also happens to be the theme of today's pop quiz, and Jerry has two questions ready to test how well viewers know their fishing themed pop culture.

1) Singer songwriter Brad Paisley has landed more than 30 songs in the top 10 of Billboard's country charts, including an early number one with a parenthetical title, The Fishing Song. The song is about a guy who would rather be out on a lake than spending time with his girlfriend. What is the actual title of the tune?

A) I Love You But 

B) I'm Gonna Miss Her 

C) I'm Off the Hook

2) The 1981 film On Golden Pond swept the Oscars, picking up Best Picture honors along with Best Actor wins for Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn. In the film, Fonda's character spends his summers at a New England cottage obsessing over catching one particular large fish that he's given a name. What is the fish's name?

A) Bruce 

B) Walter 

C) Wanda
