Interesting.
I always have thought of professional bass fishing as a sport,or any kind of
fishing for that matter.
Mr. Fortenberry,I bet that statement of yours won't hold much water on
rec.outdoors.fly fishing either.

Lol Ken, I'd like to pose that same question to you after YOU practice
for a
week, then endure 4 "breezy" tournament days on Lake Erie in a 20' bass
boat. To put tournament bass fishing & poker on the same shelf is just
wrong my friend.

OK, so maybe not poker but how about darts and bowling ? Or
if it absolutely has to have water and challenges what about
synchronized swimming ? Pro bass fishermen in waterproof eye
makeup and sequined swimsuits, now *THERE'S* a sport !! ;-)

Tournament bass fishing is far more mentally & physically challenging
than
baseball. The only differences are that bassers aren't overpaid, they
must
*earn* thier money & they appreciate thier fans lol...

I don't know Warren, I'll betcha there's more pro baseball
players who could be pro bass fishermen than vice versa.

Guys like Sosa, Thome...don't even get me started!

Warren ;-)

Never liked Sosa much, he doesn't respect the game and
besides I'm a Cardinal fan, but I've never heard a bad
word about Jim Thome.
