For a guy who always claims to not be on anything he does pretty well.

The dude can flat catch em

I bet he�s enjoying himself right now.

Weird format I will have to get use to understanding. I don�t like how they level the playing field every time back to zero. Brings too much luck back into the equation.

More skill as I see it. Have to keep catching em every day. Can�t coast on one or two heavy sacks in a 4-5 day tourney.

Bryan Thrift is the same way. He's "never on anything" in practice but usually towards the top of the standings

+1

They all have some luck. Add skill and preparation and you have a kvd prot�g�e. I wonder if strike king wishes they could have beat his pure fishing deal.

I thought that too. Berkley must be smiling that they were able to sign him.

And Evers too. So they go 1-2 at the first BPT. They have to be happy with their team

I think the point was the high school and college bass tournaments he competed in helped prepare him, not necessarily his English Lit or Econ courses. He and his brother both won national championships as college anglers.
