It’s a 3-day event. The co-anglers fish with a different pro each day so no one put 39 pounds in the back of anyone’s boat. The winning co-angler weighed 14 fish for 39 pounds over 3 days.

Pete had 9 pounds over two days. He missed the cut to participate the third day.

Well actually he did put 39 pounds 10 ounces in the back of the boat. 1 boat or 3 boats doesnt matter. Te dude was 1lb 2ounces from topping the winning boaters weight. Very impressive to do that from the back. Maybe not for your skills, but i clap for that guy.

Who said anything about anyone’s skills, much less mine? I was clarifying that no one outfished Pete Wenners by 39 pounds to 9 pounds in a single day. 

When I fished Central Pro-Am, I was known as a good draw for co-anglers because I went out of my way to ensure they had every rightful chance to catch fish. During those years I helped three of those guys win the co-angler side of the tournament and also had a BFL guy win on TR out of my boat. In fact, one of those CPA winners was in the top five of last week’s Costa derby co-anglers. 

So yes, I suppose I am quite skilled ... at seeing that my co-anglers enjoy a very good and hopefully productive day on the water.

I'll second that . I've caught my personal best spot and smallmouth out of the back of Champs boat... It ain't because of my skill.

The co-anglers success depends on his boater putting him around fish. A lot of cos will show up without practicing at all. Congrats to him for figuring out a better way to catch them. He would be the first to admit his success wouldn’t have happened without the hard work of his boaters.

Still impressive.
