On tonight's Nightline they covered bloggers. This in and of it self is no biggie and wouldn't merit mention but as a part of the story they briefly mentioned a short list and screen shot of examples of blogs that included"...blogs about fishing..." It was up and gone so fast I didn't recognize if it is one on the blogroll or not, but it wasn't the BP that's for sure.

The fact is I am a "attension whore" and so am quite angry that they didn't say "...blogs about bass fishing" and then give screen shots to all B.P.B.F.E. blogs and all the other Blogroll-O-BassNblog blogs!

Sure we Bassin/Fishin bloggers are a tiny fraction of the blogosphere population right now but I bet angler will eventually recognize the power of blogs just as fisherman have found the medium of online message boards golden. There is a natural synergy between the pursuit of fish, the power of information flow/networking, and the need to tell one's fishing stories whether true or not.

Blogs will eventually catch on because they hold such great potential as a resource for fisherman.

I think what would really help that out is something somebody like BassFan or the BassFanArmy encouraging people to start a blog and then have blogroll link under the interact tab. Maybe I should start writing an article on the topic and submit it to them and Co-Angler.com

Amyway I need to head to BassFan and read up on the Ouachita in case I need to make a last second Fishing Challenge changes, that is if it' not to late.
