fantasy fishing paying BIG $$$$

I’m personally into Fantasy sports, not a rabid whacko, but I don’t mind it a bit. The worst part is that it takes away from cheering for a specific team. You might love the Vikings and hate the Packers but if Aaron Rogers is your fantasy QB, then you’ll hope he throws for 400+ with 4 TDs.

But what about fantasy fishing? Right now the Fantasy FLW is going to award a million..yes MILLION dollar prize to a fantasy angler. Here’s the hook, when you think about all the people in fantasy main line sports like baseball, football, NASCAR etc. Fantasy fishing is pretty small time so your odds of winning on luck alone are better.

The FLW Fantasy Fishing season began in February, offering anyone and everyone the chance to win $100,000 prizes for picking a winning fantasy team of anglers - just like fantasy football, but with fish - in any of seven FLW Tour events. Winners from the United States, Canada, Australia, Estonia, South Africa, Japan, Poland and Indonesia have racked up big money and prizes. On Thursday, Aug. 21, the FLW Fantasy Fishing champion will be awarded $1 million - the largest fantasy sports payout ever and a sum equal to the top award for the sport’s real-life world champion. Additional prizes for finalists include a new Ranger fishing boat valued at nearly $60,000, a new Chevy Silverado, and a $20,000 BP gas card.

Outstanding!  The way I read this...this is the first $1M prize in the fantasy related sports category?  Brilliant marketing and promotion.
