Customer Reviews

Great book!

I read this book and couldn't put it down. It provided insights that you'll never see or hear about from almost any published source these days that covers bass tournaments in general. What some reviewers have called 'cynical' is nothing more than Schultz looking to draw some comparisons and contrasts to a sometimes overblown drama. In a multi-billion dollar industry, it shouldn't come as any surprise that it's all about the show and the money, folks. Schultz has an insider's look at what really goes on in a bass tournament and is fully entitled to give us HIS viewpoint on what he has witnesses. Given the depth and breadth of his fishing industry experience, he has the credentialsl, credibility, and writing ability to make this book a great book. In the bass tournament world where everyone is politically correct and plays nice in the sandbox, it's no wonder some don't get the value of this book.
