Tournament bass fishing: Commodification in a serious leisure activity

Using the dynamic social world of tournament bass fishing as a backdrop, this research combined qualitative and quantitative research methods in a grounded theory approach for the study of commodification, serious leisure and the relationship between these two important social phenomena. Significant contributions were made toward understanding the use of purchased goods and services in leisure activities, the growing phenomenon of serious leisure and the symbolic relationship that exists between them.
