This is the best post I have seen in TFF in awhile. What makes a "Stick" Well just two days ago I saw the post "Frozen" so if you are looking for a 9 pounder look no further than being in the right place at the right time with the right guide!
However, those of us that have fished coast to coast I think you will find that being a really good "Stick" (meaning Elites or FLW ) you must have total control of your instincts, an above average athletic capability, and as Don Harper stated ( an idea of where to catch fish from time on the water).
So, a "Stick" knows how to catch fish from Erie down to Seminole, from Cayuga to the Delta, tides, floods, or through a Zombie Apocalypse, or green or brown.
A "Stick" will make 5 casts to your 1 and also in place you would never cast. They will also do it left or right handed.
Those of you that have never had the pleasure of being in a boat with a "Stick" it will make you appreciate the difference between high school and NFL football.
These guys are good. And yes we can all get a jersey and a wrapped boat but very few will ever be a "stick" that I my opinion. The rest of you can vote for Hillary! This about sums it up. 
Eat. Sleep. Fish.

Useful time of the water. Sticks practice every time they fish regardless weather it's for fun or pre fishing they are always working. Just cause u spend allot of time fishing doesn't mean much if you are not working while fishing.

I am a Senager. (Senior teenager) I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50 years later. I get an allowance every month. I have PU truck and a bass boat, I am blessed.

Predictably consistent results.
And to clarify.... I believe all sticks have a massive amount of TOW but not everyone with a lot of TOW is a stick.

Confidence. You need the belief in yourself to pick an area that you "know" holds fish and have the confidence to catch them, that confidence equals the patience to get it done.

My definition of a "stick" differs from some. A stick to me can catch them and win on more than one or two lakes he fished his entire life. They need to start doing more of the secret location type tournaments, that will separate the men from the boys.

Pretty simple, You won't the see majority of the sticks on the tff posting.... This is more and more true every year. The direction social media has taken TFF and some other useful websites has made it where the majority of the "sticks" will not or can not contribute.
