Bob Knight, Fisherman

If you are any kind of sports fan, you know that Bob Knight passed away this week.  To say that he was a controversial figure would be an understatement.  No doubt he was an old-school coach.  Also no doubt he was very successful.

He also had a passion for the outdoors, for hunting and fishing.  I suspect he was in many ways a different person in that venue.

Regardless of your opinion of The General on and off the basketball court, we lost a fellow hunter and angler.  I found an old newspaper story about him that I think you can appreciate:
