Fantasy Fishing

摘要

It's crazy enough that someone can get paid $1 million for catching a fish-the angler who wins the championship tournament on the largest professional bass-fishing circuit in the country takes that awfully sweet bait. But it's certifiably insane that someone else can sit on his or her butt and win a million bucks by predicting (actually, more like guessing) which fisherman will hook the biggest bass. All the fantasy baseball leagues that give $1,000 to the winner are small fry compared with the high-stakes world of fantasy fishing. That's right, fishing. The fantasy-sports craze has grown so large-it's now an $8oo million industry, with 30 million players in the U.S. and Canada-that folks are picking dream fishing teams. And if pisces don't pump you up, there's also fantasy surfing, fantasy motocross, even fantasy politics andrnfashion to satisfy your fix.
