Teach A Man To Fish... And He Will Bore Others On ESPN All Day Long
This image was lost some time after publication. The "Super Bowl of Fishing" has put another day in the books, cutting the field down to 25 for tomorow's finale. For those of you who joined the Deadspin Bass Fishing Fantasy League, know that Luke Clausen is still in the lead with 44 total pounds of fishies. Terry Scroggins had the biggest haul of the day, though, with 28 pounds and six ounces of fishies.
Jimmy Johnson is remarkably in 15th place after winning last week's Daytona 500, making him the greatest cross-sport superstar since Bo Jackson. Alright, I know it isn't the same guy, but it's not like it isn't possible. He wouldn't be the first guy to ever fish and drive in the same day. Anyway, I've got a few questions about this thing.
1) What happens to the fish after they're caught, and the guy takes the picture holding them up? Stuffed and mounted? Fileted, fried and given to the homeless? 2) Could any of these guys make more money by going to work for Long John Silvers or Mrs. Paul? 3) How much skill is involved here? I know there's some knowledge involved in picking the lure, the location, etc. But isn't the guy who catches the heaviest fish just the luckiest? Is it somehow harder to catch the fish with a weight problem? 4) Why does that one guy yell at the fish? Does he think he's cool? 5) What would stop a guy from catching a fish and stuffing some little weights in its mouth? 6) If you mistakenly reel in an old boot, does that count?
