Three weeks ago, Georgia fans collectively held their breath when quarterback Jake Fromm suffered a fishing-related injury. The injury wound up being of little issue for the rising sophomore but did give him a big fish story unlike any other.
ESPN’s Edward Aschoff reported what exactly went down the day Fromm landed a treble hook in his left leg. Fromm and fellow University of Georgia student Jordan Rowe were bass fishing in Rowe’s hometown of Adele when Rowe just missed what was a trophy fish. Rowe cast his bait back in the vicinity of the fish, which again hit his bait.
