...hasn't a woman competed in the Bassmaster Classic before? Bass fishing is not like, say, weightlifting, where it's physically impossible for the top women to lift as much weight as the top men. A woman can catch just as big a fish...

...male or female, it's not about strength - it's a mental and strategy game. Women have not always been allowed to compete with the men. There were some rules about sexual privacy - that toilet issue held women back a number of years. They weren't able to fish. That got thrown out, and a number of ladies started competing.

...every festival since 1986, and has brought her daughter Alex along for the last decade. And while the festival does attract the occasional lone eccentric—such as a self-proclaimed “magician” from Somerville who rotates the names Michael Fishman, Tuna Oddfellow and Fish the Magish—families are perhaps the most common type of attendee. Not all fans are fortunate enough to have cooperative children, however. In his 30th year at the festival, Cambridge resident Barry Perlman lamented his inability to pass on the sci-fi tradition...
