I do not see the thrill of throwing a piece of string into some murky water and waiting for some innocent creature to swallow.  How can that be considered a sport? 

I realize that men need some sort of excuse to take off for long periods of time and drink beer but good grief.  Do you really need to buy all of that special equipment just to camouflage a boy’s only drinking binge?  And is it really necessary to have a whole store devoted to your so called hobby?  It's no coincidence that 90% of the inventory in those Bass Pro shops includes some sort of beverage handling device not to mention the boat, which is really nothing more than a safe place to hide your cooler.
