These essential items are easy to forget at home, so this checklist will help you stay prepared for your upcoming bass fishing tournaments.
I’m one of the most forgetful people you’ll ever meet—especially when it comes to fishing tournaments. I’ll get so caught up in the small details like rigging tackle, that I’ll completely overlook the most important pieces of equipment. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had that “oh, crap” feeling at the boat ramp or after catching my first keeper of the day, when I realize that I’ve forgotten something at the house.
Some of this checklist is funny, but by gosh, all of it is true. Make sure to run down this checklist before your next bass fishing tournament.
