Good info Randy. Had the same experience in my youth and college years playing golf in school. I put too much pressure on myself during early parts of rounds and played poorly. Once i quit focusing on the end result from the start, i played much better. It took a long time to learn this lesson. In my mid-60's now and fish 1-2 times per week and i have found i learn more and enjoy the day more by trying to learn something from each cast and location rather than shooting for a goal and making impulsive decisions. In turn I catch more fish. Thanks again for the insight.
This is so relevant to me. Thank you so much Randy! Sometimes I feel like I need to hit the fish whistle just so I can get myself to slow down enough to be in tune with whats going on in the water 😂
When I started using a hand retrieve pulling the line away from the rod at a snails pace my fishing exploded. I use plastic worms and jigs most of the time. Of course the occasional swim bait or jerk bait also works. Being methodical and slowing down isn't an issue because I don't have to haul ass to a weigh in and I started out carp fishing.
I’ve always fished slow , and concentrate on angles , I laugh when I see a boat going fast even with a spinnerbait , casting from far out from the cover straight to the bank , straight to the bank from front deck with no angle and reeling right back to the boat , when I see this it cracks me up
Mindset is huge. This was great Randy.

experience is the most expensive teacher

That is why kayak fishing is much more efficient for a given body of water- as long as you pick the part of your lake you launch in wisely.
I fish in the saltwater in my kayak and it's a great way to pick an area apart
Great video! Hindsight.. the sweetspot!

Great video Randy. Really. It applies to any kind of fishin, and it could apply to a lot of things in life.
Thanks for doing a fishing video
Thank you very much for the video.

Good piece of advice 👍
Enjoy your opinions but some like KVD and Castledine never have their TM speed below 50
The tortoise always wins the race😜
my issue for sure
You left out the key, must know/learn FFS.It's a must have tool to compete on today's top tours. Fact, not opinion.
Sorry, but KVD fishes at Warp Speed. His record speaks for itself.
i would love to see you bebate Arkansas River Chris Jones on that!!! WRONG!!!
Lol what a life😂
Lol!
if people used their brains they would realize the trump doesnt give a carp about bass fishing! bush did!
See how the other choice would work out for you.
