Liability Insurance; tournament req.?
I've fished B.A.S.S., Bass Champs, Bass-N-Bucks and McDonald's Big Bass Splash. You must have proof of insurance, boat registration, USCG max outboard plate, working live well, and meet all USCG safety regulations. Most except for B.A.S.S. will not ask unless you have won money but B.A.S.S. wants it up front. B.A.S.S. is the only one that requires a minimum of $100,000 of insurance coverage.

Fishing from the back of the boat underated?
Fishing from the back of the boat underrated? I've kept detailed records of every trip to Toledo Bend since 1972; many of these trips were with my good friend Patrick C. Miller. We both spend close to the same amount of time in the bow seat as we do in the rear seat. According to these records we are dead even on numbers of fish caught from each position. But keep in mind we don't try to position the boat to where one has an advantage over the other I've always believed Pro/Am tournaments should be the combined totals of both stringers thus forcing the Pro to actually teach the amateur.

Music
I carry a portable radio/ CD player all the time, KYKX 105.7 FM Longview, Texas broadcast weather alerts for area lakes. They sponsor many tournaments on area lakes including the Big Bass Bonanza so if I aint got a CD on I listen to them. I've been doing this since 1982 when I fished their 3rd annual tournament and have never seen listening to a radio affect my fishing.

berkley Big game worshiper
I use Berkley Big Game on all my rods except for my flipping stick; the reason I change it every other trip is because I fish heavy cover. Yes you could just check the first 20 yards for nicks and probably be safe but what if it's nicked farther up? At the price of Big Game change it and have the piece of mind of knowing it's all good.

My Pet Peeve: Breaking Your Line
Gee did we wake up in a mood? Yes this is one subject that irritates me as well, not just in losing a fish but in casting as well. Fighting a fish or casting a lure is done with the power of your rod & reel not with the power of your arm. Kent it's Sunday morning so preach on brother

Well jump right on in there 1: During a 3 day tournament the pros have an amateur in the boat for the first 2 days but on the final day he can be alone or with a camera man. 2: There is random drug testing and polygraph tests for the winners 3: hundreds 4: Cell phones can be carried for emergencies 5: Anglers leave single file, usually 3 minutes apart after receiving assigned numbers. Shot gun starts are outlawed due to extreme danger evolved

Line tie for jig heads
When I'm fishing a jig it's in thick matted hydrilla and I don't think which way the eye of the jig is facing matters.

how often do you find a solid pattern
Blanked that was 66 full days/nights on the big pond To establish a pattern every fish caught regardless of size is telling you some thing all you need to do is pay attention. One can look at patterns in broad terms such as spinner baits fished in 6-10' of water around wood. One can look at patterns in detail such as slow rolled 3/8 oz single Colorado/silver white shirt spinner bait fished in 8' of water around oak trees on a ridge.
