Angler takes on all comers
While we're in the deep freeze for the next several days, you might as well skip fishing and read about one of the smartest gimmicks a cable TV network has ever devised to attract more viewers.
ESPN2 found a brash New England fisherman who is willing to bet he can whip you in a one-on-one fishing contest — even in water that he's never been to before. When the contest is done, ESPN2 will telecast it.
It even has one segment that features billiards for the rights to a trolling motor.
