anyone best clear deep fisherman fishermen matter mud number remember shallow thinking time top until versatile
In my book, he's the best of all time. I remember thinking when he started that he would become a well-known fisherman because he was so consistent. Today, if you graded all the fishermen, he's still number one. From the time he started until today, he's been probably the most versatile fishermen no matter where we go - clear water, deep water, shallow water, mud holes, rivers. He's the most consistent. He's in the top 10 more than anyone I know of. In my book, he's the best.
beaver bite lower maybe normal starting typical warming weights
I think it'll be a typical Beaver tournament, with weights maybe a little lower than normal because you can't see (the fish). But the water's been warming up and they're starting to bite better every day.
bass glad good nice
I'm glad I did come. I had a good tournament, and BASS was nice to me. It makes me feel good to be going out on a good note.
bass best coaster finished fishing high last life pro roller top tournament won year
I've been fishing as a pro for 25 years, and never in my life have I had so much excitement. It's been such a roller coaster this last year. I've been way down, and I've been as high as you can get. This last year was one of the best I ever had. I won that big FLW tournament last year, finished in the top 10 in BASS and in the top 10 at FLW.
easy
I know how you really have to give it all you've got to make the Classic. It's not as easy as it once was.
