That's what many parents around the state will hear next May when the tournament rolls around. Illinois voted last year to add bass fishing to the roster of official high school sports. Apparently, it's a big deal. I wonder how many kids would have joined the bass fishing team when I was in high school. Probably none.
"What are you doing after school today Jim? You want to come over and get stoned? Those two hot girls from chemistry will be there."
"I can't dude. I have bass fishing practice."
Sounds lame.
Welcome to the IHSA Bass Fishing Tournament

First, how do you practice for bash fishing?
Second, how would getting stoned inhibit your ability to practice? From where I'm sitting, getting high and fishing seems to be a fairly typical thing to do (or at least getting drunk). Odd that they're giving out varsity letters for this, but maybe bass fishing will be the Jackie Robinson for other teenage pastimes, like eating Cheetos and playing video games.
Yeah, why not have a high school Halo team? Or a Madden team? I'm sure a ton of kids would sign up for those.
