Luke Bryan made a stop at a gas station during a fishing trip with his son Tate. He is used to getting recognized and asked for autographs, so it wasn't a surprise when a man approached him. It was what the man said next that caught Luke completely off guard. "Man God dude, you look just like Blake Shelton," Luke says in a video about the moment. "You're not Blake Shelton, are you?"

As a matter of fact he can, Luke lands at number 3 on a Billboard list of the 20 Top-Grossing Country Artists of all time.
