温故知新 BASS FISHING by MDE

こんにちは温故知新です。

FBで知った事ですが

田辺哲男さんがB.A.S.S.のH.Pに出ているではありませんか！

ケンタッキーレイク戦が始まるので
以前の特集として1993年の事が取り上げられていました。

そう！田辺さんが、外国人での初優勝した時の事です。

当時、私もとても興奮した事を覚えています。

田辺さん当時35歳か〜



Though he was the first competitor from outside the U.S. to win a major Bassmaster event, Tanabe was an accomplished angler even before fishing with B.A.S.S. He was the Angler of the Year twice in Japan, and he worked for TIFA, a fishing tackle company.

テファ時代ですね。

When accepting the keys to his new Ranger boat, Tanabe said, “Bass fishing is my life. We have tournaments in Japan, but I wanted to try it here, where they are big and you have many strong anglers. ... I wanted to come for five years, and now, finally, I am here. It is a dream come true. B.A.S.S. people have always been very kind to me. They teach me the American way.”

いいね。

A number of the anglers were happy for Tanabe and helped celebrate his win. In B.A.S.S. Times, Rick Clunn said, “I’m tickled to death. Norio is one of the nicer people I’ve met. It fascinates me that somebody who barely speaks the language can come over and perform at such a high level, to win a tournament.”
