What Our Sport Needs!

I was thinking about what’s going on in the realm of fishing and tournament fishing and what I see our sport needs. These are the words that came to mind Energy, Excitement, Honesty, Passion, Wisdom/Creativity, Integrity, Discipline, and most of all SPORTSMANSHIP. Some people have to, as my father would say, “Bite the Bullet” and do things the way they know it should be done. Change is not easy but it is necessary. Just like most discipline does not feel good but is essential in making you mature.

These thought came about from reading what happened at a Bass Northern Open tournament on Lake Erie and reflections of a couple of other events that I will not say that happened in several crappieⁱ tournament circuits this year.
