Fishing

I was born in the wrong era. Check out the snippet of an article from our local paper. This kid got a scholarship to go to college for bass fishing. BASS FISHING?????? I took cruddy courses like psychology, sociology, philosophy, English composition, British literature and anthropology. This whippersnapper gets to go to college for fishing???? Where oh where did I go wrong????????

Here's a small piece of the article:

A Lawrenceburg High School student-athlete will soon be angling for fish in collegiate waters.
Hunter Schneider, 18, signed his National Letter of Intent on Wednesday to compete in bass fishing at Adrian College in Michigan. Hunter is the son of David Schneider and Lisa Jones, both of Lawrenceburg.
Schneider is one of 16 members of the Lawrenceburg High School bass fishing team. Although the sport is not yet sanctioned in Indiana, he is one of the best anglers in the state.

With the explosive growth of high school bass fishing tournaments, young athletes are making a name for themselves in an organized sport quite different from traditional games like football, baseball and basketball,” said David Schneider. “Now there’s a program that offers national recognition for outstanding young anglers, just as there is in each of the “stick-and-ball” sports.”
Schneider will receive a “hefty” scholarship to join the Adrian College bass fishing team that is among the best in the nation.
