Do people really catch 10+ fish all the time?

I have a confession. In my 20+ years of bass fishing I don't think
I've ever broke double digits alone. My best days are always around
6-7 bass.

On the other hand I've been watching a show called "Angler
on Tour" and this guy, who is a pro bass fisherman, is only catching 3
or 4 fish a day. What's up with that? Do I just suck or is everyone
exaggerating?

Chuck.

My record is 18 in about 4 hours on a small lake. Average weight about 2.5.

BTW, I really like Angler on Tour with Joe Thomas. I like it because he
seems honest. If he has a terrible day, you know it. I like to watch
fishing shows to learn technique, lures, presentation, etc., not to watch
some guy haul in one fish after another. Needless to say, the kind I like
are few and far between.

Anybody know how we get Joe to air a little earlier than 11 PM?

Joe Thomas is a great, classy guy. I fished against him all last year. At
Oneida I had gotten my limit of smallmouths & was in a weedy cove
desperately trying to get a kicker largemouth. In comes Joe & starts
fishing the same general area as me. It's late in the day (day1) &
downright nasty weatherwise. Joe & I get close & he asks me how I'm doing.
Told him I got the sm limit & was looking for a lm. He said that's what he
should have done, and that he went for the lm all day & only had 1 small
fish. The cool thing was that on day2 I went right to my sm spot & 5 min
later up pulls Joe. He had found the same fish as me! We both had pretty
good days on day 2. That was the only time in 3 tries I beat him in a
tourney. Class guy that Joe Thomas.

Sometimes it's right, and sometimes it isn't...and that's why I love it
so much! But noone catches 10+ all the time, if they did, they could get
rich and famous pretty quick grin!

I totally agree! I can't stand 99% of those shows, all they do is show
'em reeling in fish. After you've seen about 100 fish being reeled in
it gets kind of old. I really like the Angler on Tour show. I think
you learn WAY more watching a pro rack his brain trying to figure out
where the fish are.

TIVO. Then he can air whatever time is convenient for you.

Yup, Sue and I got a DVR (Sat reciever with the TiVo built in) for our Direct TV Satalite from her Dad for Christmas. Now I can
record 100 hours and never miss a show (it will record two different shows at the same time) if I'm gone fishing! Doc
