Went fishing on a #2 flatland this past sat .I launched at about 8 am at the same time there's another guy putting in a beautiful ranger bass boat . We chat briefly then go do thang. Water color was bout 10'' vis.where I fished.Trolled 250 till bout 2 pm caught 23 bass up to 2.5lbs. Bout this time I see the same guy come under bridge , then gets on his trolling motor and I can tell he's not fishing but heading to ramp,next I see him got his paddle out and trying to paddle to ramp. So I decide to go tow him in I ask well it doesn't look like your having a great day at least boat wise but how did the fishing go he said not so good only caught 2 small dinks. So here I am towing a 50,000 dollar bass boat with my maybe 5000. dollar boat I using spoonplugging knowledge and tools have a pretty good day and his hi dollar boat and very little fishing knowledge had a bad day. Moral of story knowledge will out fish fancy gadgets evey time!

Fish do not care how much$ you spend on equipment the person using it does.

Laughed at the story of towing the high end Ranger bass boat who caught very few fish. I followed bird dogs around for 35 years or so. If we saw a group come out of the field with L.L. Bean outfits, new boots, shiny new guns, and fat dogs we didn't hesitate to hunt that same field. But if we saw a couple guys with worn blue jeans, well used guns, and dogs that you could see the ribs we didn't bother.

That is sage advice right there.
