Richard, i will see you on the lake sunday in our eku bass tourney.... and for everyone else i never look at fishing as a job but when i do fish a big tourney like the BFL i want to win it and try so hard that sometimes i do forget about the fundamentals of fishing and try all this new fancy crap like swim baits and shakey heads i have slowly been workin my way back to texas rigs and jigs.. but i dunno sometimes i do over analyze fishing... i do think fishin is fun and stressful too becuase when i go i try every way in the world to catch fish and if i dont i come home all pi$$ed off. But when i set down in my lazyboy for fifteen minutes i am ready to load up and head back to the lake and try it again.... its like fireworks they go bomb look cool and cost money and your like dang why did i spend money doing that then u remember how much fun it was and off to the stand u go again.....but i just need to clear my head get rid of this fishin funk and go out and have fun... i know i can catch fish but sometiems i admit i go to far and get away from what i am comfortable fishing....

We all get caught up in all the latest and greatest but if you sit back and look at the big scheme of things, "I think a high percentage of tournaments are won on the old school Jig and pig, and plastic and basic color crankbaits"
Try not to get caught up with colors with the jig and pig and plastics. a good example: stick to basic colors such as BLACK instead of Junebug because both are dark colors both should work, and yes i know there are times a color might mean the difference between 11" fish and 15" fish.


G'Luck and Hope you start catching some Hawgs.
