Gone Crappie Fishing

This is the best time of year to go Crappie fishing. Crappie aren’t that big, but they are a lot of fun to catch. Of course being out at Harris Reservoir is always a treat.

Fantasy Fishing

Fantasy Fishing is something I would have never predicted. Evidently it’s big enough that the promoters can have $10 Million in cash and prizes.

ESPN is into it and even Time has written an article on Fantasy Fishing:

It’s crazy enough that someone can get paid $1 million for catching a fish–the angler who wins the championship tournament on the largest professional bass-fishing circuit in the country takes that awfully sweet bait. But it’s certifiably insane that someone else can sit on his or her butt and win a million bucks by predicting (actually, more like guessing) which fisherman will hook the biggest bass.

And the New York Times chimes in:

FLW Fantasy Fishing has gained a quick following in the cluttered world of online fantasy sports by offering $1 million to anyone who can put together the best team of professional anglers in coming months. The prize is as eye-opening as the sponsors who help underwrite it — including Wal-Mart, BP and Chevrolet — showing that even niche online fantasy sports can attract major advertisers across a range of industries.

Who’d a thunk it?
