Gerald Swindle is our most-viewed presenter at The Bass University. In this interview, he talks with Pete about his most successful series of classes on "Positive Mental Attitude". While most of the principals can be applied to bass fishing, these life lessons certainly have further-reaching applications. On the topic of staying positive, Swindle also discusses keeping your cool when anglers run in on your spot, and how to be polite and civil when sharing water. Lastly, G-man talks about the importance of teaching etiquette, conservation, fish care and livewell maintenance to the next generation of anglers.
