Henry Winkler’s wife discusses his competitive fly-fishing habits
During a joint interview with Graham Bensinger, Stacey Winkler shared humorous insights into her husband Henry Winkler’s competitive nature regarding his passion for fly-fishing.
Stacey suggested that the ‘Happy Days’ star tends to embellish the size of his fish catches, a claim Winkler playfully denied. He insisted that he maintains meticulous records and only rounds off numbers for charitable purposes. Stacey countered by jokingly suggesting that his fish size reports are his primary form of charity.
The couple also discussed how their fishing habits changed over time. While they previously fished in the same boat, they now often fish separately to avoid arguments caused by Winkler’s intense competitiveness and changing demeanor during the sport.
