Donutrun Jellies Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Yes ... 1341728[/snapback] Is this where the clip came from of the doofus who threw a snit on his boat and was DQ'd for poor sportsmanship -- and then said in the interview, "I'm an emotional guy. That's how I act. That's how I fish." "That's how I fish"? Man, you know there are toooooo many channels and toooooo much money being made in the entertainment industry when this drivel leaks into the national media!

But it's fishing. I just don't see that as an exciting spectator sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't see that as an exciting spectator sport. 1342914[/snapback] Well, anytime you want to come take a ride at 70 miles per hour across the California delta and fish for monsters, just let me know...I'll even rig up some lures for you.

To prove the point of bass fishing as an exciting spectator activity, you'd need to invite her down, set her up standing on a dock or a shore somewhere, then drive your boat around at 70 miles an hour, park in front of her, and fish. She'd watch -- could hear your chatter, maybe see you kick safety equipment like Mr.ImanemotionalguythatshowIfish, and reel in some decent fish. Then, if Squeegiebo got all sweaty and excited and hooting and hollering, that might prove how exciting a spectator activity fishing is ...

It's not the enjoyment of the fishing I question, it's the enjoyment of the spectating of the fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's roughly the equivalent of someone following Tiger Woods around for 18 holes watching him golf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
