First of all, my ego is allowing me to enjoy every comment on this thread. You people are great.

Secondly, let me predict for you how I think I'd do if I fished ten tournaments against 100 really good bass pros.

Here's my finish by tournament:

97th

94th

99th

5th

90th

98th

6th

91st

95th

99th

I think that if the patterns were something that I was familiar with I'd do really well, but when it would come time to do something that I'm not experienced at, I'd get killed--at least for a couple of years until I refined my techniques.

The worst part is this. I did an analysis this morning of what my time availability looks like for the next few years while my kids are at home, and you know what I found? I found that I'd have to give up pondmeistering to be able to do this. \:\( \:\( \:\(

I think that I'd love to try a local tournament though.

Sue, do you think you could bring your boat out this way? \:D
