Bass Fishing
ESPN has a regular late-night show called "Loudmouth Bass". They actually analyze past and upcoming bass fishing tournaments and interview fishermen.
Is bass fishing really a skill/art where someone can be demonstrably better than someone else?
Assuming that all "competitors" have equal information and equipment, wouldn't these tournaments come down to luck? I used to do a lot of trout fishing and I can't imagine that once you learn what works for the particular body of water you fish, that one person could really be better than another at it.
I watched part of the show tonight and was shocked to see the amount of money in these tournaments.
