Have to believe him he catches more fish than anyone and does it day after day all year round.

I have always agreed on this point",BUT"...I think its important for the fisherman who thinks as much like a fish as he possibly can fathom to be confident w/ the bait he's fishing.The water conditions have it hands down for me whether its going to be a contrary day for the trout,crappie,smallies,etc...In other words"if its Clear" water conditions,I'm going to try to match the hatch to the best of my abilities.Stained" waters,or Muddy waters,here for me ,will get the painless jig heads ,"if I have any.And colors like Flo.Chart's,Pinks,Org.Wht's. Blk's. ,Copper,Gold etc...
"For the last 15 yrs.,this has greatly increased my success rates by 100% given the more challenging days of old w/ the idea that "fish are not as intelligent as I. "Most certainly out of complacency then,as opposed to now.
