Crawford was the firet non-talevision personality in Canada te go into fishing fui-time. He's collectad almost $200,000 in cash and prizes se far. That may seain lika a lot of money, but Crawford notes there's lots of expenses. 'The average bass boat nowadays runs in the neighbourhood of $25,000 te, $30,000. Yen naad a vabicle te pull it (and) ail the fuel that goes aiong with it. There's aie travelling axenses, ledg*ng and food... 'It's a teugh% go.
