Beleaving Game B

                    I truly believe bass fishing is a sport. To back up my beliefs I will say that I am a member of the UWSP Bass Fishing team. We are called the Big Dawgs and compete in many tournaments throughout the year. I believe that being a part of this team makes bass fishing a sport. Besides the team aspect, bass fishing does take a large amount of mental and physical capabilities. When I’m fishing a tournament I stand on my feet in a boat for nearly 7-8 hours, and cast hundreds and hundreds of times. It takes quite a bit of physical strength and stamina to do this. Mental skill is probably the most important part in being a bass fisherman. Understanding the science of where the fish are, and why are they there?, is a difficult thing to master. So everyone can go out and fish but the strength and mental aspects, let alone being a part of a team, makes me believe that bass fishing isn’t just an activity, but indeed a sport.
