largemouth bass fishing is a high school sport in NH!

[Jim in CT]

Great article in On The Water this month. In New Hampshire, elected officials kicked around the idea of making largemouth bass fishing an official high school sport. They floated the idea around, got overwhelming interest, and made it happen. The teams have tournaments, and (no surprise) they get plenty of volunteer boat captains for the tournaments.

Kudos to those officials on a job well done. Great idea of thinking outside-the-box to introduce kids to an activity that for some, will be a lifelong pursuit. Good to see teenagers put down the electronics and get outside.

Too bad Connecticut can't get its act together on things like this.

What a great idea...
