This game of patience may be seen as punishment for some, but it’s a regular occurrence and seen as sport for the Wisconsin Fishing Team.
The fishing team is a student-run organization that has been around since the early 1990s, and by combining both competitive and recreational aspects of the sport, the club provides an opportunity for fishermen of all skill levels to hit the water.
The organization focuses on two main activities each year.
First, there are the competitive bass fishing tournaments that take place five or six times a year, according to co-president Michael Dircz.
