They do. Its just hard to watch them do it. Just a me thing.

 

I have observed a number of them have compensated for it by making the cast with their dominant hand, and just before the lure hits the water the rod is already switched over to their other hand ready to go. I guess that works fine. Just more work, and not for me any more. Like I said I made the correction myself. Just kind of ironic watching pros do it and not even thinking about it.

 

I will say this though, concerning boat positioning, even that has changed. Watch Denny Brauer back in 1986 in his flipping and pitching video and he teaches old school boat positioning. You don't see that much any more. Technology has kind of done away with that and fishermen don't talk much about it any more.

 

Denny is a master at what you just said. A very influential video right here... I think Denny could catch a 10 pounder in a puddle flipping and pitching.

Thanks for sharing that. I'm about 10 minutes in, great stuff.

That one video right there is the most influential video on bass fishing I have ever watched.

 

Denny has a sixth sense on where fish are and it is on full display in this video. Other fishermen, most, do not have this sixth sense like Denny shows here. Mike Iaconelli would be lost without Denny Brauer showing him where the fish are! Ha!

 

Also, watch Denny land a 6 or 7 pound bass all because some darn plant shook. Amazing skill and super human observation skills.

 

All I can do is shake my head in awe of Denny Brauer.

 

Oh, he has never said publicly where this was shot. Us Florida guys have been trying to figure it out for decades. Best bass fishing video anyone could ever watch.

Interesting to see Denny Bauer back in the day. I was only 3 when that video came out, but as I became interested in bass fishing he was always a there. I notice he says "there's one" when he has a fish, and I do too. I wonder if I got that from him when I was a kid.
