    I imagine when you have a new boat, new rods and reels. You fish as much as you can to sharpen all of your skills.

    If I heard it right, Thrift said on LTF that he never won a BFL. Said some of the toughest competition is in the BFL level events

    Kbass, you are correct on the Thrift comment. He feels BFLs are some of the toughest.

    On another note, maybe the G Man is trying to work his way back into the BPT by going up through the divisions as everyone else does. Just kidding, LOL....

    Come fish any event on Lake Norman here in NC when the pro's are not off somewhere and see who you are up against :)

    I believe it! Plenty of great fisherman, that could compete but other obligations in life prevent them.

    That’s right because most all of them are locals that have been fishing the lake constantly a few weeks prior.

    Bingo. Not because Local Larry is a stud, he’s just a stud on that lake and been on it 24/7 for 2 weeks prior.

    yea but I wonder how many times he fished the lake the couple weeks prior? Being just a local is not what I’m referring too. It’s the guys who are locals and fishing almost everyday leading up to the tournament are the ones tough to beat.

    It's usually the guys the either live on the lake, or fishing nothing but that one lake. And they only fish that one BFL. We see it at the local events level as well. They don't spend 2 weeks on a lake. They've spent several days a week for the past several years on that one lake.

    How would you, as a coangler, like to get this text: "Your boater is Gerald Swindle."

    In BFL's you have to compete against the local sticks and several Pro's trying to pick up a paycheck (or fishing just cause they like it) close to home.

    Great point. Put fish with G for 8 hours in an auction. Wonder what the bids would be. The Co got 8 hours for 100.00. Hope he gave him some gas money.
