Joe, have you ever investigated the Handicapped Sports Association? 
They have fishing for the sport of fishing.  The PVA -- Paralyzed Vets 
of America have Bass Tournies all the time.  Ya gotta admit:  Watching 
ESPN is not as good as being the person -catching- the fish!  Think 
about it.

        Before my injury I played baseball, football, and ice 
hockey.  After my injury I hunted geese, deer, and duck.  I have 
done my share of fishing too.  But things have slowed me down and 
old age has caught up with me.

        Without the spectators there would be less players.  I 
feel that there are those of us who are destine to compete and 
then there are those of us who watch.  I'm now a watcher.
