18th century and continues to progress until today.
It probably was originally practiced in search for food among
the people in the south of the United States. Since then, it has
started gaining numerous audiences of all ages and nations.
Today, countries such as Australia, Cuba, South Africa, United
States and most of Europe participate in this kind of event.

events are the following:

springboard to the development of modern fishing equipments from
bass boats, rods, lines, lures and various fishing gears.

records $50 to $70 Billion and the number continues to grow.
