How often do you get schooled by a fishing partner? How does this make you feel? It used to be that I would get pissed if a buddy of mine out fished me on a given night. I would get all bent out of shape knowing I wasn't the top dog of the night. As the night would wear on, I would get more and more worked up which probably led me to do even worse.
This season the roles have been reversed and one of my fishing partners has pretty much put me in my place night after night. One night, I stood along side him as he landed several nice fish to the low 30#'s while I landed nothing over 20. On the trip to Cutty last week, I only managed fish into the low 20's while this guy tonged bass to the 30's again. Saturday morning, along side the same guy, I again took fish to about 20#'s while he landed twice as many bass to 28#'s. This was a spot I grew up fishing and he had never made a cast into before this trip. Am I just becoming a better guide this season, or am I slipping?
