Fishing, a Sport?

They say fishing is a sport. I don't agree. Real sports get real announcers. These guys have to do it themselves.

"It's a beautiful day, here on lake Cuchahumi. Folks don't realize, I've been fishin' Cuchahumi since I was 4 years old, so I think that gives me the home lake advantage."

I think, if it's a sport, they should have real announcers. Like in baseball; "And now it's Billy Joe Bim Bob's turn on the boat. He caught 143 bass last year, which was a career high for him. It'll be interesting to see if he casts overhead. He likes to throw side armed now after the rotator cuff surgery."

I love to fish, and there is certainly some strategy to it. But physical ability? Not too sure about that. There are fish finder devices, that allow you to find the fish and it even shows you how deep to drop your line.

Now fly fishing is an art. When I think about it, it always reminds me of scenes from the movie, "A River Runs Through It". I've never tried it, because I have no clue how, and I don't want to look like more of a moron than I am; not in front of the guys, anyway.

At least, on these fishing shows,  they practice catch and release. It doesn't work for hunting, but...

See you tomorrow.

My new book will be available TOMORROW at Amazon.com! "The Twisted Musings of a Comedian II" It will make a great Christmas present. Why not get both books and give them as a set?
