Ask FLW pro Mark Rose about a Gut Feeling.  His little feeling won him a big a$$ check.  I believe in the last hour of the final day he ran 20 minutes to a place (on a gut feeling) to fish for 5 minutes( that's right--5 minutes) before he had to leave for weigh in.  The last cast gifted him with a bruiser that put him on the top of the leaderboard.

 

Speaking of Mark - from the BF coverage of his second win at Travis:

 

He came back down lake where he caught a 4-pounder off one of his deep spots that anchored his 11-09 bag on day 1.

 

“About noon, after trying to make it work all morning, I left with those little fish and I knew I was in trouble if I didn’t put something together,” he said. “It was my instinct to trust my gut and run away from it.

 

“I stopped on a deep place I’d found in practice and caught that 4 on my first throw. That told me I needed to regroup and what I needed to do for the rest of the tournament.”
