This book sheds light on the real life of a professional bass angler. Kevin Vandam lets you into his world for a brief moment. He talks about mental strategies for changing conditions, and various confidence related issues. The book is very well written and informative. The ideas are a mixture of old school practices, and new scientific based therories. Hey, if you don't read it the next guy probably will!
