I did a double take when this came cross the wires. It appears to be the "reel" deal. Gone Phishing maybe?
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA WINS NAILBITER IN NATIONAL GUARD FLW COLLEGE FISHING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (April 12, 2010) – The University of Florida team of Matthew Wercinski of Gainesville, Fla., and Jake Gipson of Niceville, Fla., won the first National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship on Fort Loudoun Lake on Monday after catching three bass weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces for a three-day total of 10 bass weighing 29 pounds, 10 ounces. The national championship, featuring a $100,000 first-place award, was a three-day nationally televised event hosting the top 25 teams in the country.
“It’s really great,” said Gipson, a senior industrial and systems engineering major. “It’s a dream come true to fish in the national championship. Just to get here is a dream come true, and to actually win it … I don’t think I can describe how cool that feeling is.”

We'll stay with the Olympics for two more Hero(s) of the week. Steven Holcomb lead the US Bobsled team to their first Gold Medal in SIXTY years! And him and his team were on the Letterman show last night, they even did the Top 10 list! He's the 'Co-Hero' with Canadian Figure-Skater Joannie Rochette, who captivated most of the Viewing audience with her amazing Silver-Medal performance---just after her Mom had passed away. Two MALE sportscasters said on TV they were teary watching her. It seems like in every Olympics there is some kind of wild story in Olympic Figure Skating--especially with the Women's Competition. This year there was a positive story!
