In this age of computers and the Internet, sports enthusiasts can play fantasy football or baseball online. In cyberspace, they create teams from their favorite players and through the statistics those players compile, the computer spits out the winners.

Sport fishermen don’t have such useless games to play, because they tend to go out and do rather than watch. That doesn’t mean they are not creative or live without any fantasies. We’ve all created fishing fantasies that lead to exotic places and the fish of a lifetime.

During some of those long rides to fish pike and muskies in the north country, we’ve speculated and fantasized about what the fishing would have been like during pre-Colonial times here in North America. We’ve even speculated about sport fishing with modern equipment on the Atlantic during the age of dinosaurs, wondering and joking if the boat we would have been on could possibly have become nothing more than an artificial lure for a giant mossier or other prehistoric sea monster.

In today’s world, with its challenging economy for most, it’s more practical as fishermen to simply dream of catching a big one in our favorite fishing hole.

Jeff Turner, a middle-aged angler from West Virginia and his son, Taylor, have taken their dream fishing trip of a lifetime to the next level and have planned out an epic angling quest to fish 50 trophy waters in all 50 states in only 50 days. Click Link Below for Full Story!
