		[cool][#0000ff]I used to fish tournaments too, from a boat.  It got to be more stress than fun so I quit.  I discovered a long time ago that tubing could put more fish aboard in the same water, simply because you work it more thoroughly.  I never did enjoy "running and gunning".  It is a way to quickly catch the active and aggressive fish, but they are usually not the biggest ones.  [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Being a back seater is the worst. You can't cast up into the "unused" water and you cannot control the boat to work your casts right. You have to settle for whatever the guy running the boat wants for you. If you caught even one decent fish that is good in many tournaments.[/#0000ff]
