Show I i Champions Fishing as Aid to Longevity .' ::.- : " : ... .... 1 ' - ' A N " A V1- ' ; ' ..... - : TV" x i ' " ANOTHER Methuselah? Tony Accetta (left), five-time winner win-ner of the U. S. professional all-around all-around bait- and fly-casting title, believes the sport of fishing to be a panacea for human ills. He maintains that every month spent in piscatorial pursuit adds a year to one's life. On this basis, Tony, now 45, should live to be more than 200 years old, if he never engages in another day's fishing, for he esti- mates that he has spent an average of four full months each year with a rod and reel in his hands since choosing his career at the early age of six, following an unsuccessful unsuccess-ful experiment in the transmutation transmuta-tion of his mother's pet goldfish into gold. Tony concedes that barring bar-ring accidents a person might conceivably con-ceivably attain immortality, if his theory is correct. Nevertheless, he was not averse to preserving a I record of his skill for posterity I when the opportunity was offered him of starring in "Let's Go Fish- j ing", 2-reel sound motion picture that has been produced and as being be-ing distributed by the Fisher Body division of General Motors. Here, J Tony and Art Neu, former champion cham-pion of the National Association of Scientific Anglers, demonstrate one of the more beneficial aspects of the sport. |
