More than a decade after his playing career ended, Randy Moss is still making big catches.

The Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver with the second-most touchdown receptions in NFL history has found his off-the-field calling on the water, fishing for freshwater bass from a boat.

“That’s my passion right now,” Moss said. “That’s my hobby. That’s my getaway. That’s my therapy.”

Mostly confined to his home for some nine months while he underwent chemotherapy and radiation after being diagnosed with cancer in December 2024, Moss developed a deeper appreciation for being in nature. Since his treatment was completed last fall and his rare form of the disease — in the bile duct between the pancreas and the liver — was deemed to be in remission, Moss has often had a rod-and-reel in his hands.

This lifelong hobby for Moss has become a third career of sorts, following his work as an NFL analyst for ESPN that he resumed last season.
