I was in Southwest Florida and was asked to go fishing by one of the pro bass fisherman there. Thinking I would learn a great deal that day, I graciously accepted his kind provide.

So, we begin our excursion to Lake Okeechobee about four hrs absent. We place this bass boat in and absent we went……complete throttle! I quickly realized these boats do not have a sluggish or medium speed, when you hit the key, you’re on your way as quick as the boat would go. When you quit, you quit totally. Anyway, here we go about 90 miles an hour down Lake Okeechobee.

Then we started fishing. I was so thrilled, I mean fishing this lake that is recognized for big bass and in this bass boat that can go a million miles an hour and with a pro too, what a day! Then I started catching fish, then an additional, then an additional and my pro buddy hasn’t caught one. Nicely, it didn’t issue to me if I caught one or not but it apparently did to him. The subsequent thing I know he has this big aged frown on his face and mumbling something. I stated “what’s incorrect?” He stated something to the impact……”it is truly something when a guy is good sufficient to consider you fishing with him and then you do him the way you are.” I stated “what in the globe are you speaking about?” He stated “I mean I consider you out in my boat and you catch all the fish and out fish me.” I believed he was kidding. I quickly discovered out he was not kidding at all. So, now, rather of experiencing myself, I made it a point not to catch any much more fish.

We got done that afternoon and got home. I informed him thank you for taking me fishing with him but please do not ask me once more. I stated I still considered him a buddy but not a great fishing buddy. I was not there to contend with him like the other fishermen he fishes with apparently but went just to appreciate myself and have the expertise of fishing Lake Okeechobee.

Needless to say, that was one of the even worse encounters I have had fishing for bass.

Charles E. White has fished for nearly 50 years for bass from California to Florida. In his lifetime, it is believed that he has caught more than six,000 bass. His biggest bass is a 12 pound 14 ounce that hangs on his wall in his workplace.

Charles has fished with individuals who have by no means fished for bass prior to and taught them how to become successful anglers and also has fished with the Pros in Florida.
