Fishing game worth a million dollars.

The boat commission in Pennsylvania is using a beautiful marketing strategy to promote Berkley line and Abu Brand. After having tag more than 1000 fishes and released them in 60 lakes of the country, the contest consist of catching the fish with the appropriate tag to be entitle to win the big cash prize. So far the idea sounds normal but when it comes to the prize itself, I guess lot of people will definitely go fishing even if they hate it. One million dollar as cash prize can be pretty convincing to start fishing.

The Pennsylvania and the Cabellas are two fish species that has been selected for this game. Ed Florentino, a local citizen has changed his routine just to make sure to increase his chances of winning the big prize. What is more interesting is that the cash prize can double if a Berkley line or Abu tools are used. That’s correct, there is no typing error in what I just said; you can win up to 2million if you are using these branded tools stated before.

The 2^nd and 3^rd prize consist of $100,000 which is not that bad for a fish. Ed Florentino told us that he is ready to try a million time for this million dollar fish and guess what, I think that me too I would be that motivated if I was living next to this country.
