I was on my way to work this morning, enjoying some music and rather light traffic when something caught my eye. A Chevy Tahoe moved into the lane next to me, and I thought nothing of it at first. I took a second look and thought, do my eyes deceive me? For they were feasting on a breathtaking rendition of a largemouth bass, basking in its airbrushed glory. Next to the fish, brushed in a red script, were the words “Fishin' Magician'.“ I'm not sure why they added the apostrophe after Magician, but I was in a state of bliss so overwhelming, it didn't really bother me at the time.
To complete the circle of trash, the license plate read “BASSPRO.” Only fitting for a man of such honor and magical prowess.

This really sounds to me like a case of a very uncreative wife's birthday present...My inlaws always buy me horrible purses and shoes--which, for a girl who lives in the city sans car--is just as good as being a Fishin' Magician' (hehe)...I'm sure I mesmerize plenty of people when I'm forced to acknowledged my husband's "Honey, why don't you use the hotpink mini-backpack with Winne the Pooh on it that my mom gave you?"

I am deeply disturbed by the lack of respect towards fishing on this blog. I do not appreciate the overall jocular demeanor of this fishing post, which obviously is aimed at making a mockery of fishing. Fishing is a sophisticated sport that requires a wealth of knowledge and talent. I would like to you see you Schrags, or your blog cronies catch and wrestle a 35 pound indigenous Mangrove Snapper.
I have been fishing for most of my life and have amassed an impressive resume. In fact, I have to my credit, a laundry list of awards for various fishing tournaments.
- 1998 Junior Bass Angler, A Flight Winner
- 1999 Kiswaukee Pond Tournament Of Champions ---1st place
- 2000 Sheboygan lake largemouth Bass Tourny ----Runner Up
- 2000 Guest Speaker Bass Master Convention
Clearly, Fishing has been very good to me and has allowed me to live a lifestyle that I never thought possible. My tournament winnings have afforded me a luxurious lifestyle complete with camouflage trucks, boats, and lifetime supply of night-crawlers. So next time you are inclined to poke fun at a Bass sticker, keep in mind fishing can provide you with opportunities you never thought existed.
Sincerely,
Nicky "The Nightcrawler"

Nightcrawler,
It wasn't a sticker. It was a large airbrush painting. Stickers are J.V., the BASSPRO doesn't mess around with J.V. He's clearly all Varsity.
