How many gas bladders would you need to get a bass boat to the shores of the UK from the US? That trip itself would be the ultimate Olympic game.

NO, it will never become an olympic sport. Too many uncontrollable aspects for that.

However, casting accuracy and distance could conceivably be added. No species of fish is involved. Not many countries in the world that don't have fishing a part of their culture. Skills are required and there is no luck involved.

I would put casting accuracy and distance in the same league as skeet shooting and archery. A sport in which ANY person could excel given the skill sets required.

Sorry but backlash picker-outer doesn't fit but the rest sure do.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned the fact that bass are a non native and even invasive species in many other countries. Freaking logic on this post is causing nose bleeds from stupidity.

Anyone ever tell you NOT to believe everything you read on wikipedia. Baseball was dropped from the olympics after the 2008 games.

Not no but hell no. Lakes are too crowded as it is. bass fishing is boring to watch as well. Not spectator friendly and personally I don't consider it a sport in the traditional sense at all.

No! That has as much chance at happening as does a ban on keeping LMB.

About the only thing right in your post is the stupidity part, unfortunately that is result of your own ignorance. I guess you have had your head in a hole if you had to google to find out if baseball is an Olympic sport. Then you backed up your ignorance with a source from wikipedia.

No. The Olympics need to be getting rid of events instead of adding them. Walking is an event for God's sake. The skateboard x game crowd will be added next probably. At least that takes more skill than walking.
