Keep learning from the guy driving the boat.

Just wanted to bring up a few things on how good you can get being a non-boater, Ryder, co-angler etc.... I myself always took advantage of this as long as the boater was good, I have been privileged to have fished with some excellent bass anglers. You don't have to bomb bard them with questions just observing what they do is just as good.
Just to give you an example on how tuned in I was at a tournament I did with a great bass anger, We where fishing a bed we had spot ed during pre fishing, Well he was I just got the net ready and it was also a team tournament, anyways I know he was after the female but he caught one of the Male's, I put him in the live well and he continued to pursue the bigger female but kept saying it wasn't a good thing we caught the male first. After a couple of more try's at her he told me to go in the live well and release the male, I looked at him with 6 eyes and the fish I was about to release was about 2 1/2 lbs but hey I'm learning even though I thought he was out of his freak in mind I had the fish and was ready to throw him back, when he told me he was only joking put that boy back in the well. He said you where really going to release him, I said yes, anyways I felt a little embarrassed but hey what ever.
What I'm trying to say is you could learn so much from these guys its great.
