Louisiana Gov. Goes Sport Fishing in the Gulf  smaller.jpg) Not here. Although the aftermath of the April 2010 BP oil spill off the coast of Louisiana killed countless wildlife, not all of the Gulf of Mexico that bordered the state was polluted. Sport Fishing editor-in-chief (since 1993) Doug Olander knew that because he was getting reports from anglers in the western half of Louisiana fishing Gulf waters "that were legally open, free from oil and full of fish." So Olander, who is based in Bonnier's Winter Park, Fla., headquarters, did something. Through his connections with the recreational fishing industry in Louisiana (what was a billion dollar business before the spill), he invited Gov. Bobby Jindal (R.) to join him on an excursion in late July. The governor, his chief of staff and a state trooper came aboard. The boat went through a 50-mile "U.S. government closed" portion of the Gulf before hitting paydirt near, of all places, an oil platform. The result, writes Olander in an article to appear in the Nov./Dec. Sport Fishing, was "instant hookups with several trophy-sized snapper." And the governor (pictured right with Olander) got his share. "He struck me as bright, unpretentious and concerned for his state. He clearly understood the value of folks seeing their governor on the water, catching fish." COMMENTS
