Competitive Fishing and Those Who Televise It
Where do I start? Flip over to ESPN 2 on Saturday morning and what do you see? Guys screaming and yanking a line, then holding up a flailing, dying creature which won't even have the dignity of becoming a fillet. All the action is under water, while people stare at some guy who outweighs his pray by 30 times over and has an entire box of specialized tools whoop because he caught it. IT'S NOT A FAIR FIGHT! YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL!
And WHAT THE HELL IS THIS GUY WEARING??? Is that a Nascar outfit? Pennzoil is sponsoring these dudes???
There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot. I know which side of that line I'm on. Do they?
