telerib"Fueled the buzz about him being the guy who could be the John McEnroe of bass fishing, help elevate the sport into the realm of NASCAR."
Now, my dad is the sort of guy who likes nothing better than to camp out in front of the TV on a lazy Sunday morning, watching fishing shows followed by shotgun shows. So I am pointing and laughing at my own kin here when I say that you should go read that article for more wonderful soundbites like "it lacks the gentility of trout fishing" or "Emphasize the human drama [to sell the sport]" and "This is somewhat troubling to those who prefer the kind of sportsman whose victory speeches are limited to 'Thank the good Lord and Luck-E-Strike Lures for my success in this tournament.'"
- The WaPo covers pro bass fishing.
