You will rarely see anything about fishing among these blog entries for this reason:  I know about as much about fishing as I do astrophysics.

Astrophysics is about space and stars.  Fishing is about water and fish.  There we are, that's what I know.

But mention $7.3 million and you have my attention.  And not just for being a top pro fisherman (because actually I've spent enough time sitting near Sun colleague Candus Thomson, who really is an expert on all things outdoors, to know that there's big money on the pro bass fishing circuit) but for playing in a fishing fantasy league.

An outfit called FLW Fantasy Fishing just handed $100,000 to a Greensboro, N.C., man who picked the top fishermen in a bass tournament at a lake in Alabama.  There's a grand prize of $1 million and more than $7 million in fantasy prizes are being awarded overall.  If you want to get in on the action, check it out at the FLW Fantasy Fishing Web site.

And here's something else that caught my attention.  The fantasy winner got $100,000 and the actual winner of the tournament, an angler from California, got $125,000.  How would you like that kind of ratio in your baseball fantasy league? 

Thanks to the Fark Web site for initially pointing it out.
