I don't know that I'm being pessimistic, it's just what I see ahead. And I'm
not trying to be argumentative, either. I'm strictly a recreational
fisherman and have no particular interest in whether fishing becomes a
bigtime sport or not, although that may be of huge interest to those who
have a business interest in it.

But what I see as the most important element, is that NASCAR, PGA, and other
sports are SPECTATOR sports, in addition to some of them being participation
sports too. I just don't see fishing as becoming a significant spectator
sport among non-fishermen. I'm a non-golfer, but I follow the Tour; I don't
see golfers interested in following fishing.
