WHAT is more important to a BASS ANGLER: A name-brand boat, or his fishing skills?

Question

Would you rather own a "Ranger", "Skeeter", or "Triton"?

Or own a "Stratus" or "Alumacraft", "Lund" ; AND have great fishing skills?

Do you think the fish you catch know the difference between a "Ranger" boat and a "Lund" boat?

Isn't perhaps your GEAR(rods, reels, electronic's, ETC), even more important than owning a "top of the line" name-brand boat?

I currently own 2 boats(flats:"Carolina Skiff" & bass:"Lund") and have won quite a few tourneys in them.

In the tourneys i've participated in, the "Ranger", Stratus", "Skeeter", "Triton", "Nitro", guys lose & win with the same regularity that people with off-brands do.

It would seem that some believe the amount you paid for your boat equals your skills as an angler.

Whats your take on the subject? good fish'n!

Answer 1

I've NEVER know the name of a boat, reel, tackle or anything similar to catch a fish...you got to have skills...

My son...who is now 8 has two wall-hangers already...fishing on a ratty old Zebco with a beat-up bobber and a shiner...

No fancy stuff, no embroidered shirt...just skill and fun...
