David Willis,

You know, when I used to be a catfish and bream fisherman, I used to have a lot more fish dinners and a lot more money in my pocket. Then I fell in with bad company and now have 5 or 6 big tackle boxes and a whole bunch of fishing poles. Maybe I'm trying to grow more hair on my chest.

Seriously though, I believe more people fish for cats and bream than for bass. Bass just gets more advertising time due to the market for lures, boats, and all other associate gear. Theres just not much marketing that can be done for crickets, earthworms and chicken livers.

Fishman might have more statistics on this.
