Steve Rajeff in "The New York Times"

Steve Rajeff won the National Casting Championship in fine style last week, firing a 225-foot cast across the Kentucky Bluegrass. The cast was 17 feet short of the national record he set last year, but hey, who’s counting. James Card profiles the casting master in yesterday’sThe New York Times.
“’He tournament-casts as another city boy might fly remote-control airplanes, and he casts with uncommon elegance — a high, slow backcast, perfect timing, and a forecast that straightens with precision,’ [Tom] McGuane wrote [in The Longest Silence].”
