![<p>Like the camera panther he is, Overstreet quickly rips off his mask and readies his camera at the first sight of an angler. </p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3056.jpg)

![<p>The Man-Squatch continues his relentless pursuit of the best bass pros on the water but always has time for safety. This under-bridge billboard says, "Boat Smart | Boat Safe, Put Your Lifejacket On!" </p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3060.jpg)

![<p>Gotcha, sucka. </p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3077.jpg)
![<p>His weather sense begins to tingle, so Man-Squatch turns to modern technology to confirm his hunch: Rain is on the way.</p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3080.jpg)
![<p>Bring it on. The cowboy is ready for anything the weather gods can throw at him.</p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3081.jpg)

![<p>Hey, Willie Robertson, Overstreet loves ducks, too! Maybe you should book the Man-Squatch for a Duck Dynasty guest appearance! Somehow I get the feeling he would fit right in.</p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3106.jpg)

![<p>Ummmmm, well ... maybe just one thing. </p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3161.jpg)
![<p>We now interrupt this photo gallery for a ... for a ... well, letâs just call it a walk in the woods.</p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3163.jpg)
![<p>After a walk in the woods, Man-Squatch is feeling much, much better. However I am not sure the woods would say the same thing.</p>](http://www.bassmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/img_3164.jpg)
