Mental Aspect of Bass Fishing With Rick Clunn

Bass fishing legend, Rick Clunn is the first person to win four Bassmaster Classics by relying heavily on the mental aspect of bass fishing.  Clunn definitely believes off-water preparation and education is as important as being a master at presentation while on the water.

Understanding your prey, your equipment and how you use all of this on the water can either make or break your fishing trip.

Watch the following video and listen to Rick Clunn discuss his approach to bass fishing, both on the water and off …

I found the segment on Clunn’s approach to the third day of the 1984 Bassmaster Classic (his third Classic win) particularly interesting.  By just stopping and considering the events of the two previous days and making the adjustment to a crankbait with a tighter wobble and no rattle triggered his best day of the tournament.

Even more amazing is the fact that Clunn basically fished a 50 yard stretch of water during all three days of the tournament catching 15 bass with a better than 5-lb. average!

It looks like focusing on the mental aspect of bass fishing can really pay off!
