Yes I/we need to realize that all will not bring in the five pigs,toads hogs,what ever you want to call them,but like said,you will learn. Just because a pro isn't on fish,doesn't mean he doesn't know what he or she is doing. They were there during prefish,but gone today. Thats fishing.
Thats what happen when I fished with Darren Jacko, We got on them the second day,at the weigh in, Bob ask how the day went,we told him,and his comment was,they came back up eh. Everyday is different.
Terry and I learned first hand from each other,they are not always there. L M A O. More not,then are. HEHEHE
And the down side to tournaments is,boats don't start,motor falls off,spin a hub,trolling motor dies,these kind of things do happen at times,and makes for a miserable long day.
Happen when I was out with Wayne. I turned the key off and for some reason the key tumbler spun inside and the power never shut off. Dead battery and you need alot of juice to crank over that Varado.
Long tow up river.
