Patrick Dangerfield formally announces the birth of his first child, George Patrick Dangerfield, via his fishing podcast.

Dangerfield said that while he always said the baby's gender wouldn't matter, he couldn't hide his excitement when he found out on Tuesday night that it was a boy.

"When I saw that little willy, I could have done cartwheels in that room," Dangerfield said.
