"Today the catcher of the Dixon Beauty could expect at least $1 million in product endorsement deals."

Yeah but wot are ya gonna do with a million dollars worth of rubber worms?

Fishing aint a real sport, BTW.

It's more like a helluva good way to hide a drinking problem.

Actually Spud would pay a million dollars if someone could just catch the guy who invented the singing bass aka "Billy Bass".

Fishing isn't a sport? Don't seem to have anyone claiming that it is a sport here but you. Do you want to compare it to golf?

It's more sport than your lowlife desk trolling.

Have news for you spud walking and fishing are the two most popular activities in the US.

Spud, the singing fish was funny, but that comment was not.

I hope you wouldn't consider curling a sport.

I heard a story about a poor kid in the south who caught what would have been the million dollar fish, but he took it home and his family ate it.

Activity.
That's exactly what fishin' is. In spite of my own growing time on earth, I don't believe anything my father's age can still do is a sport, just an activity.

If I had been the guy who originally caught it, I would have taken the hook from the fin and but it in the damn thing's mouth. Then it would be a legal catch.

Add up the number of grades completed by the number of contestants and divide by the number of gills on the prize winning fish...

something tells me the answer will be a negative number...
