Though I do enjoy watching bass fishing tournaments on TV, I’ve never quite see the lure of “fantasy fishing“. However, this story in the local newspaper may be enough to change my mind:

Greensboro man reels in $100K in fantasy fishing league

[...]Reginald Pickett of Greensboro won $100,000 in FLW Outdoor’s Fantasy Fishing tournament.

Fantasy fishing officials will hand over the check Thursday morning.

Get this: If the professional anglers on Pickett’s imaginary team keep on catching big, fat bass, then he could win $1 million.

[...]

Fantasy fishing is similar to fantasy baseball (except for the fish). You draft a team of pros and win points based on their performance in various fishing tournaments.

[...]

It’s pretty easy, Pickett says, especially if you keep an ear out for what the fishing pundits are saying — evidently there are fishing pundits out there.
