Background: I've Been Bass fishing since I was 5 , 51 now.
It's interesting how these pro's can catch bass from 2 ft to 45 on the same day. Especially on a lake they do not frequent.
Do they share knowledge and spots, or are they that good ? I love this stuff and was glued to my computer all weekend watching on-line.

To me these guys are awesome fisherman . But the biggest difference between them and your everyday fisherman is their ability to read a graph . Ive fished several opens with some very big name pros and that seems to be the biggest difference . Also they are comfortable fishing with any rig , whether it be a drop shot in 80 ft water or a crankbait in 5. But IMO the ability to read that graph is a very serious skill that takes a lot of time to master

I would imagine its a combination of all the above.
These guys are out there fishing everyday, so they understand what they are seeing on the electronics better than your wknd guy. I'm sure they share info amongst friends as well. Usually the guy that wins just makes better decisions than the rest of the field.
Reading about Casey in the Classic he limited every morning off of the same flat and then hit brushpiles the rest of the first two days looking for a big fish. Final morning decided to hold on Spot One and work it all day. Wound up culling a 3lb fish for a 4-something just one hour from finish.
Kid showed true poise....mark of a champion IMHO.
Growing up fishing back of boat with my pop I used to complain about sitting on the same river ledge all fricking day long in the heat of summer, going hour after hour without a bite. But pops patience and experience knew that the fish were there, just had to wait them out till something triggered them to hit. 99% of fisherman would give up on that spot. He didn't and almost ALWAYS would pull up a couple 7-8 lbers before the day was done while others scrambling the lake would have one or two dinks to show for it.
Most of the bass pro's are just that dang good.
Of course a little help never hurt either, nor some luck.
