In $60,000 worth of boat, motor and gear, John Jamison raced across the water, eyes fixed on state-of-the art GPS and sonar equipment as he looked for the perfect place to fish.
"There's a misconception catfishermen are bib-overall-and-straw-hat guys," said Jamison, of Spring Hill. "Most of the guys I fish against are driving $50,000 boats and might be doctors and lawyers. It's become quite the sport."
And Jamison has enjoyed quite the success.
Within the last 13 months he's won three boats at catfishing tournaments.
He has many corporate sponsors who furnish everything from packets of hooks to boats and tournament expenses.
