If you could ask Gerald Swindle one question...

In the old days of the Bassmaster Classic, I sorta remember contenders only were allowed 10 pounds of lures.  What would you do, if the night before the Classic, tournament officials notified everyone that they were once again only allowed 10 pounds of lures?

Okay Glenn, this is more of a project than a simple question, and maybe the whole BR gang could ask the same from the other pros as well.

I'd like to see a detailed plan for how the pros would design and equip a boat or two from scratch. Knowing full well these guys have sponsors and all, it would still be interesting to see what these guys could come up with for what I'd call the BR Boat. 

Maybe one boat that is fully rigged where no expense is spared, and then say an entry level boat for guys just starting out.

The questions from such a topic could be almost endless, but I'd really like to know what new technology they think has made a positive impact on the sport vs those things that only the bait monkey could love.

So, what gas engines, trolling motors, fish finders, side imaging, down imaging, GPS, what gauges on the dashboard and the bow.  Livewells, dry storage, rod storage, batteries, charging systems, passenger seating and gear storage.  Safety gear, rain gear, tackle storage.

Maybe this would be better written down along with an invite them to start posting to a new section. Do I see a whole new video series?  After all, they should spend time doing a little fishing.

And wish them all good luck!

I'd ask him what caused him to race by within a foot or two of that spectator boat on TV at dangerously high speed putting his life at risk, waking the competition and then after being DQ'd acting as if HE were the victim and being made a scape goat. And then to top it all off, crying like a school girl on TV. I'd ask him about all that. I'm not a big fan of his after that incident. Also not a fan of his screaming tactics. I'm kind of like the football coach that told his players when they get into the end zone to try and act like they've been there before. Ditto on catching a fish.

What was your best EUREKA moment? When did some great moment of insight occur as in " at that moment, I knew I could do this" or "that was when I discovered the spinner bait", etc.

Ask him if he is throwing the wompin duck...But in all seriousness...Ask him about how he got out of his funk, with the death of his brother and all...He told all the guys in Nashville about it....It seriously has changed my life. More people need to hear it..Not only from a fishing stand point. But a life stand point
