Last year in August I was eating lunch with my wife and daughter on the beach. I had met them early to visit because I thought the tournament I was fishing was going to start at 6:00 pm. So I sat there on the beach and played in the water with my daughter, who was a year and a half old at the time. I sat around relaxed thinking about my plans of where I would be fishing in the next hour and what lure I would be using.

At 5:25 I headed over to check in and I realized I was late. All the boats were lined up and ready to go. The tournament time had been moved up a ½ hour and I did not know it. I was late. When I arrived the tournament director was on the dock putting the cash box away and getting into his boat. I raced up at the last second and told him I still needed to enter. Usually if the tournament director knows you then even if you show up late he will check your livewell, take you money, and still let you fish the tournament.

The director told me that I was not eligible to fish because I was out of view of the check in sight when I was at the beach and I was in a of limits area. I thought his interpretation of the rules was a bit of an over kill, because the off limits rule could be interpreted however you wanted it to be. None the less I did not argue. The director can interpret the rules however they see fit. It is after all his tournament.So I was unable to enter the tournament.

Instead of fishing the tournament I fished for awhile on my own  and then went home I was kind of disappointed in myself for not being more careful and checking in earlier. I really felt like I had messed up. When I got home I told my wife what had happened and she had a very interesting statement...

I laughed at my wifes statement. I knew she was just trying to be nice and show that she believed in me. I thought it was great she said that but I knew it was not true. I knew I was a good bass fisherman, but not good enough to get me excluded from fishing local tournaments. I told her that “ I really doubted that the tournament director did not let me fish because I was going to win “.

The next day I was talking to a friend who had fished the same tournament I had tried to enter the night before. I told him why I had not fished the tournament. He said that I should head down to Union Lake. There was a tournament that night, he was going there to fish it and he told me I should go fish it too. I said I would because I still had the entery fee left over from the night before an it was burning a hole in my pocket and figured I need to fish a tournament to make up for missing the one the night before. Long story made short, I went to the tournament in union city caught 10 keeper bass in three hours and took first place. After this I felt a little better about not getting to fish the Wednesday night tournament..

Three days later I fished a one- on- one tournament on Goguac lake and caught seven keeper bass and took first place, I thought that was pretty good I had fished two tournaments and had two wins in a row and taken first again. Nothing amazing just a solid performance. I was happy and when I called my wife on the way home and told her I won, she automatically asked “ so did you win first”? she just started to assume that when I called home I was doing so to report a first place.

The third tournament I fished by myself. It was the same Wednesday night tournament I had been at the week before and been late to. This time I showed up early and had paid my money and was ready to fish. I was fishing the biggest league in the NBAA week night divisions. Usually there was around 28 boats. That night I won first fishing by myself in my little aluminum boat. Trust me the competition on Wednesday nights is pretty stiff. I thought of this as my most significant win of the year.

I had won three bass tournaments in 6 days of fishing by myself.

I started to wonder if the statement my wife had made was true. Was I good enough that people did not want to fish against me? At least for this period in time it looked like she was right.

I knew I was on to something. I was on a role for a reason ......... I knew what I was doing.

I had won because I knew a lot of good information, knowledge and secrets that applied correctly gave me a huge advantage over the copotition Simple secrets that will help anyone win more bass tournaments

And I was sure that if others knew what I did it would help them be much more successful in their Tournament Bass Fishing.

Now let me be frank with you. I did not make $100,000 dollars tournament fishing this year. I did not win any big Bassmaster tour level tournament and I am not a famous professional fisherman.

This year I fished mostly week night tournaments in the NBAA bass circuit. They usually last for three hours on week nights. You get three hours to catch your bass, so you better be on the ball and catch your fish fast because you don’t have all day to do it. There is allot of very good fisherman who fish the NBAA with extremely expensive boats, fancy trucks, $1500 dollar depth finders and much more. It costs $42 bucks to enter each 3 hour tournament. You get people who are serious die hard bass anglers. chances are if you pay that much money up front to fish then you are a pretty serious about bass fishing.

I also fished most of my tournaments by myself while most every other boat had a team of two people in it. That means every other boat had twice as much chance of catching a bass as I did.

Despite all of that I had the very best season of tournament fishing ever, in fact if you ask most of the people I fish against 95 % of them would gladly switch places with me when it comes to my record of win and top finishes.

A few things I accomplished tournament fishing last season..

• Placed first and second fishing by myself in the NBAA division 15, the biggest and toughest division in the NBAA that takes place every Wednesday night and usually averages about 28 teams of very competitive anglers.
•   Won two 1 st places and one 2nd in the one- on- one division on Goguac lake, making me 1st overall for the division and securing my place in the end of the year championship.
• Won 3 tournaments in 6 days and over $600 dollars in prize money- not bad considering I only spent 9 hours total in fishing time to get it, not a lot of money... but making $67 a hour a fishing is pretty good in my book.

• I caught one of the biggest bass of my life and weighed it in. The fish was a giant 5.69 pound largemouth and was one of the biggest bass of the year for division 15.

Single handedly caused a run on the local tackle shops for frogs. I did so well this year winning tournaments on a frog that people were going to the local tackle shops and buying up all the frogs. I saw lots of boats that had no idea what they were doing and had never fished a frog before with frogs tied on. I even saw people with frogs tied on spinning rods ( never do this by the way). In fact when I went to the tackle shop mid summer to stock up on frogs I had to call them and have them hold my order till I got there. When I got there they told me that they sure have had been selling a lot of frogs. I told them “ do you know why you have been selling so many frogs? Because I have been winning tournaments on them and everyone knows it and wants to get there own!”

OK! Thats enough big talking and bragging. I am sure you are tired of it by now anyway.Here is my point. The reason why I told you this whole story.

If I can do this well with my information and produce excellent results for myself then....

How much better will you do with the same information ?

Remember I did this well fishing by myself with a little old boat, a few rods and had superior results. Chances are you may do even better than I did when you aplly my information to your fishing background your results could far surpase mine

 

If you are serious about doing everything it takes to win yournext bass tournament,

Then you absolutely must get this information. 

At the end of the 2008 season I sat down and decided that it was about time someone put together some real information on tournament bass fishing. Everything I had ever read or seen briefly covered some elements and aspects of tournament bass fishing. Even bassmaster magazine, the king of bass fishing media very rarely had any real information on the subject. So I sat down and went to work. I wrote down every possible element of tournament bass fishing that had to deal with your success and what elements really determined how well you did. I searched out the most important aspects of what it takes to put together a winning game plan for a bass tournament. I have covered EVERTHING from being prepared physically, preparation of tackle, strategy, decision making, planning, positive thinking and visualization. I even studied the best ideas of people from outside the fishing industry and took what they had to say and applied it to fishing.

And yes, I even stole ideas directly from some of the biggest names in the business...

like Kevin Van Dam, Denny Brauer and Roland Martin.

(I am not above using the best ideas no matter where they come from)

 When it all came together I knew I was looking at something new and totally unique, the first and only complete system that spells out everything you need to do to immediately start placing higher and winning more bass tournaments. RIGHT NOW!

My final product was the book 101 ways to win bass tournaments. During its writing I also complied a set of teleseminars and the audio to go with them. The audio seminars explained everything in depth to help you have the best tournament season of your life. We put all of this together in a complete coarse that will give you the information you need to become the most feared tournament angler on the lake.
