Today in class my friend and I were trying to convince nonfishermen that fishing has skill involved. They were saying that fishing is based on luck that out of 100 times they could beat KVD one time. When trying to convince them, they have a hard time understanding that there is alot of time and skill into finding fish.
Give me your thoughts about this and how you should convince them.

Not worth trying to convince a nonfisherman about anything about fishing.

Most people that don't fish think I'm certifiably insane just for doing it. They think all fisherman do is take a huge ice chest full of beer and a chair and some night crawlers and bobbers and sit in one spot all day. Not worth your breath.

Unfortunatly there is some luck involved. Now, at the pro level, the more days a tournamet has the less luck is involved. Also, certain lakes have a higher element of luck.
Outside of tournaments there is some luck involved, but once again, the angler that has more skill and knowledge, will more often have better results than an angler than gets lucky.
I have had my fair share of luck over the years, so I dont consider it 'unfair' that someone gets lucky fishing in a tournament against me. It is part of fishing. Like you said though, KVD proves, that people that are better at fishing, win a lot more often than those that get lucky.

In a five bass tournament there is very little luck involved. Rick clunn said in a one day tournament he believes it is 30% luck.. in a 2 day tourney 10% luck and in a 3 day less than 3% and 4 day less than 1%.
i bet thats probably right on.. chances are someone wont get "lucky" and catch five bass big enough to win or get a good check but is much more likely someone could catch one big one and get big bass

It's the dang ol COOKIES!
My wife has been making them for me since last year....I'm not sure she has the recipe exactly right!
Mine just don't work as well and his cookies do!
Anyone know what kind of cookies they are? I need the recipe!

Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life youre living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

I'm pretty sure they could fish the tank at BPS and KVD fish the aquariums at Walmart and KVD would still pull it off

They keep asking what is a bass fisherman born with that anyone cant develop. Why is KVD so good?

Funny how the same small group of tournament anglers keep getting lucky.
