Mann’s Reflections on the Chance of a Lifetime

Sept. 2, 2010

When veteran Georgia pro Tom Mann Jr. earned a berth in the 2010 Forrest Wood Cup on his home body of water, Lake Lanier, he felt like this one tournament was the culmination of his effort over the past 30 years. He called it a “once in a lifetime deal,” and while he wouldn’t say so publicly, anything less than a victory was likely to leave him disappointed.

He’d qualified for the big derby last October, giving him almost a full year to think about how he’d fish it – but that year paled in comparison to the days upon days upon days that he’s spent on Lanier over the years. In fact, he figures he’s fished it more than anyone else, alive or dead.

Imagine you are heading off to college at Lehigh University in two weeks to play Division 1 soccer and enroll in Army ROTC. You have one weekend at home with your family left. What do you do with that weekend?

If you are Ciaran Nugent, you fish two open 40 boat tournaments back to back, cashing a check in one, and narrowing missing a check in the second. Ciaran, the son of my long-time tournament partner, fished one tournament with his father Mark, and the other with me. Fishing has been a part of Ciaran's life since he was small, but playing soccer is his passion. His position as goalie has taken him to the U15 and U18 National Championships, playing against the best players and teams in the country. Needless to say, Ciaran had his pick of schools and chose Lehigh.

Okay, maybe walleye and smallmouth will like it too, but the new 3-inch Swim Senko was designed specifically for crappie. “We are very proud of our new bait,” says Chief George Braswell, promotions director with Yamamoto. “We needed a bigger bait because at Grenada, Mississippi and on the Alabama River the Crappie Masters tournament fishermen had over 30 pounds last year. This year 14 fish at Grenada set a new record at 35 pounds. We obviously know that crappie will hit a big bait because the same size Bandit I would use in a bass tournament is the same one crappie fishermen are using successfully. Putting all of that together we knew a big soft plastic bait would help the fishermen on these and other lakes.”

Too much of a good thing really is not a good thing, especially when it comes to catch and release on a blue ribbon trout river.  Right now on many of Utah’s trout streams, and specifically on its two blue ribbon trophy trout streams, it’s becoming apparent that catch and release conservation minded behavior is slowly changing the brown trout fishery and not for the better.
