In February of last year, Bryan and his son Tate celebrated a life passage as Tate caught his first ten-pound fish. Luke posted the video of the moment Tate and his dad weighed the fish on Instagram.
In the video clip, Bryan can be heard yelling as he weighs the fish with his son looking on; Luke yells, "Awww, 10, 2." Tate jumps up and down as Bryan hits the ground laughing and cheering in disbelief. He captioned the post, "Took me 45 years to break 10 pounds. Tate did it in 12. Thanks @lews_fishing @kevinvandamfishing @bassproshops @bill_dance @aquatroyg."
Fans were excited about the news, and many commented, with one writing, "Way to go, Tate, love your excitement." Another admirer said, "His happiness is contagious. Awesome little man." One more fan commented, "Love seeing you do things like this with your kids! Awesome, Dad!!!"

Many country music superstars choose their middle names over their given first names. It is hard to imagine country music superstar Sam Smith (Tim McGraw's given name) and his superstar wife, Audrey Faith Perry (Faith Hill). Or how about sold-out stadium shows from a guy named Troyal (Garth Brooks)? And instead of two Lukes (Bryan and Combs), there would be two Thomas' (Rhett and Bryan).
Many celebrities change their name to fit who they have become, but in country music, the go-to name change for a superstar is to simply go with your middle name.
We take a look at five country superstars that go by their given middle names.
