Fantasy In Fishing: $ 1 Million Payout To Start the Online League
In the largest payout of its kind in a fantasy sports league, Irwin Jacobs, chairman of the professional bass-fishing tournament group FLW Outdoors, is offering a $1 million payout to the winner of his company’s newly launched online fantasy-fishing competition. The site, FantasyFishing.com, was tested last year and attracted several hundred thousand participants, reports WSJ. Players don’t have to pay a fee to register a team online, but it costs $39.95 to access detailed info about the pro anglers, lake conditions and expert commentary.
The second-largest prize is the $250K paid by an online fantasy-football club.
