Over the years, Gerald Swindle has provided some of the most motivational and informative bass fishing seminars at The Bass University. This seminar is no different. Gerald is known as a successful junk fisherman, but that doesn't mean he's running around the lake throwing every lure in his tackle box just hoping for a bite. Junk fishing is a skill that salvages a day when your gameplan didn't work out. It's a state a mind that keeps your eyes on the prize in the face of adversity. Sometimes it's slowing down, sometimes it's just observing, and sometimes it's trusting your instincts. Join G-man as he shares motivation, humor and instruction in this 1 hour+ bass fishing instructional video.
