Although FLW Outdoors has received numerous accolades in such distinguished national media outlets as the New York Times, USA Today, the Wal-Street Journal, ABC News and CNN, never before had the organization shared simultaneous top billing with former president Bill Clinton, comedians Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner, a best-selling novel in Bridget Jones’s Diary, the capital of the Bahamas or the space shuttle Endeavour. But as unlikely as those pairings seem, that was exactly what happened when Trivial Pursuit recently launched its 20th anniversary edition.
Strange bedfellows, indeed.
Juxtaposed with other trivia questions such as “Who holds the record for most days spent abroad during his tenure as U.S. president, with 229?” and “What Bahamian capital lies across the Tongue of the Ocean from Nicholl’s Town?” is the following query: “What fish do competitors angle for on the Forrest L. Wood Tour?”
The answer of course is … well, we don’t really need to tell you, do we?
In truth, although the answer to the aforementioned question won’t be all that difficult for long-standing members of FLW Outdoors to answer, the new version of Trivial Pursuit clearly will be testing the pop culture waters of American culture to see just how far the sport of professional bass fishing has come in just a few short years. The answer: Only time will tell.
