Sports Illustrated:
220,000 square feet of exhibition space filled to the gills with Ugly Stiks and Mr. Crappies, and an 18,000-seat arena will host the nightly weigh-in for the 44th annual Bassmaster Classic, the self-described Super Bowl of Fishing – though to the 200,000 angling enthusiasts passing through here in cardboard hats in the shape of bass and weapons of bass destruction T‑shirts, the Classic is a vast improvement on the Super Bowl.
I’m not a fisherman but it was fascinating to live in The South and see how big and important bass fishing was. I knew guys with thousands of dollars in gear and $30K+ custom painted bass boats.
Am I the only one who saw the headline and thought it would be an article on Jaco Pastorius or John Entwistle?
Dude, guiding is HUGE down here. I’m more saltwater but it’s about as big as BBQ here in Texas!
and Geddy Lee and Chris Squire. You were not the only one.
I don’t give a carp about fishing.
