There was a time when I was proudly consistent on tournament day. But the only way I could maintain that was to spend as much time as I possibly could doing nothing but things 100% related to BASS FISHING. I really worked at it !
Fishing for Crappie, Whites, River Smallies, Trout, or anything else was "wasting time" and detrimental to my game.
If you really want to do well, consistently, then you have to truly get after it !
And LIVE IT. If you haven't blown multiple powerheads, and shelled a few lower units.......You ain't even started trying yet. 😉
