In federation tournaments the non-boater will get a half day on the
trolling moter and will not drive the boat using the big motor. to me
in big water it is a lot of work to keep the boat over the spot where
the bass are. It can be tough. It can be easier to let the boater
run the boat the whole day and work together on spot choices on where
to fish and casting room not to backseat the non-boater. but again,
to the guy with the big weight... take me to those fish buddy I'
m ready!

That happened to my dad in a tourney, gotta hate it when a partner won't
listen to the guy in first place.

As for the 7-8 foot waves--- I think Chuck would be looking for some more
fish in something a little less wavey
My question is did he stay on those fish? and if so he needs to give me some
trolling motor operations training for waves over 5 foot. We dont get those
oceanic waves much here in Florida, except in the ocean of course

Actually, Warren was in 4th place after day 1, with 19 pounds. But his 2nd
day partner wouldn't start on Warren's fish. How dumb is that? Ended up
going to them in the afternoon to catch 13 pounds.

Warren's open water smallies had 7 and 8 foot waves on their heads today,
and he had a tough, 3 fish day.
