Default Bass swimming to fast for you?

a hot August afternoon, but we'll be relatively comfortable as at least
two thirds of our bodies are dangling in the water. We'll wear wide brim
hats and long sleeve shirts against the sun. We'll fish deer hair bugs
and plastic worms and maybe a large nymph or two. We might even catch
some fish and then the fun begins. In a bass tournament the idea is to
get the fish into the boat as quickly as possible. You have to forget
that notion when you're dukeing it out with a largemouth and you're
halfway submerged in the fish's element. Chances are a good bass will
pull you around a little bit and splash water in your face a couple of
times before you get it in close enough to lip

What a concept...no $20,000 boat, (towed by a $30,000 truck) no 100 hp
outboard, no GPS, no fish-finding sonar, no tackle box with 100 of
lures,1 rod,1 reel...my hat's off. You, sir, are fishing.
