What is it about fishing with the boys that has lured men away from their families for decades? Is the call of the wild, anticipation of the big prize money, or those cold beers waiting in the cooler at the end of the day?
Living on the shore of Lake Champlain has given me an opportunity to witness numerous fishing tournaments and all that goes with it. First it’s the bass boat, then the trailer, then the camper, and so it goes. I wonder if their wives look forward to their departure with the same enthusiasm as they do?
The Lake Champlain International Fishing Tournament has become a huge draw, attracting some of the countrie’s best fresh water fishermen. This bunch camped out for the week next to our property as they joined in this year’s competition. They certainly seemed to enjoy themselves and kept adding more and more friends as the week progressed.
Hopefully they got the big one! It’s gotta be a guy thing.
