The top 10 fishing mistakes—and how to avoid them!

Every year, I get to fish with two very disparate groups of anglers. One includes highly effective pros, including some of the best walleye, bass, trout, muskie, pike and panfish anglers on the planet. The other group is made up of recreational anglers who just want to catch more and bigger fish. The differences in their approach to fishing are remarkable, as are the results at the end of the day.
