Best tournament finish and what you did that day when you were fishing.
Most challenging part of tournament fishing
When tournaments don't go my way
I use tournaments as a learning experience. i review what i did whether it was a good day or a bad day. Always assess what was done so you know what was right and what was wrong. did you spend toio much time in one spot, did you fish an area too fast. these could be key points to you.r day
