    Kyle Welcher

    Another one that I believe has IT. I’m not talking about finding and catching fish, most of them can do that. I believe IT pertains to having the utmost confidence in yourself that you just don’t get spun out if things aren’t perfect. The year he won AOY he had boat issues on the big water. Got his boat fixed and headed right back out. If you go back through history there haven’t been too many that truly have the ability to handle the pressure

    He’s impressive in every way. Awesome angler, good family man it seems. Very level headed. You know there’s some grey matter up there as well being a former professional poker player.

    He's one of the best going for sure. I remember him leading an FLW tour event on Table Rock, and it looked like he was 12 years old

    So cool to see what he’s built his career into since I started watching his YouTube channel when he was bank fishing Lake Chickamauga a couple years before he even started fishing the opens.

    I think he's one of the top casting guys out there. if you put a penny up under a dock he could hit it every time

    It's a gift not to get panicked in pressure packed situations...

    I like Kyle as well. What is IT? (intuitive tenacity?)

    Definitely a good dude. Not sure if anyone follows him but he is great rod builder. One day I had a question for him on rod building and his name came up on the companies web site.
    Found his email on social media and sent him a question on building. He responded right back with my answer and was very helpful. You could tell his passion for the sport and the willingness to help a regular guy like me was very impressive.

    Glad he is doing well he deserves it.

    Poker Pro, I’ve followed him from the beginning of his YT. I always liked his demeanor and lack of arrogance compared to
    some professionals. Glad to see him succeeding.
