Will a woman ever fish the Classic???

[Jigger]

What with the women's classic and the men's classic being held pretty close to the same time, I got to wondering why can't women compete up to the level of men in tournament bass fishing? Although it's somewhat physical, it's nothing like football, basketball or even golf and although fishing takes some coordination, it doesn't take all that much coordination. It takes some basic skills and a reasonable degree of stamina but it's about 80% or more mental in my opinion. On the drawing board, at least, women should be able to compete up to the level of men in tournament fishing, unlike football or baseball. Why can't they? Do you think women will ever be able to fish up to the level of competition of the men? Forget politically correct and tell me what you really think and why, or why not.
