The "why" and what it teaches us as a fisherman

[CCbass]

The "why" teaches us to think like the bass itself. Most pros talk about instinct, or going with there gut, or having a feeling, all the same. A bass in its thinking is driven by instinct, and understanding and focusing on the "why" will in fact teach you to think by instinct. Opposed to human thought which I think leads to bait chasers. In an earlier posting I said a bass is a preditor plain and simple, and in that you can catch them anywhere, this, the "why" is the logic behind it. Take a bass from California and put it in a lake in Alabama, new vegetation, water clarity, acidity, prey, preditors, ect. The bass will, and in short time thru its instinct find the best way to survive in the given environment. Now put a bass fisherman, like a pro that has focused on the "why" for years on a new lake. Thinking by instinct ( like the bass ) he will and fairly quickly find out "how" to catch fish.
