By Mark Tyler - I know more about fishing now than I ever have. I have more tricks, techniques, hot lures and knowledge of bass behavior than I did ten years ago. The problem is…my competition knows most of those tricks and techniques as well, I don’t think there is a secret lure anymore. Everybody has a pretty similar looking tackle box. As a tournament angler, what separates the good from the broke is generally not what you’re using, but how and where you’re using it. In professional golf all players have the same set of tools, driver thru pitching wedge. There are no secret clubs, yet one man always seems to win. Just having the right club, or in our case the“hot lure”, is not enough. It’s all about application. That is what separates the field. |

Like almost all western-bred anglers who've made the jump to tour-level competition, Mark Tyler is proficient at a variety of techniques. But he thinks his versatility might've been a hindrance on the Bassmaster Elite Series last year. The California native, who now resides just outside tiny Vian, Okla., failed to finish among the Top 50 in each of the first eight Elite Series tournaments of 2008. That fruitless stretch in which he failed to cash a check caused him to re-evaluate the way he approached his practice sessions, and the result was a solid conclusion to the Elite campaign, followed by profitable FLW Series outings on both coasts.

Tyler pulls heaviest day-four bag to take over second |
Monroe has won the tournament, but Mark Tyler has the distinction of pulling the heaviest day-four bag: 17 pounds, 13 ounces.
Tyler grew up in the Bay Area before moving to Vian, Okla., five years ago. He has ample experience fishing on the California Delta, and he used it to net second place.
“I fished conservatively for the first two days because I didn’t want to burn up all my spots,” Tyler said. “A four-day tournament is a marathon. It’s hard to be consistent. I saved a few stretches, and fortunately one of them worked out when I needed it today.” Read More |
