swampz reply :
i do not intend this to be disrespectfull to rick clunn, but i was watching the bass pros and in his art of angling segments i often find myself wondering after 5 minutes what the he!! is this guy talking about my question is, is rick clunn a genius and im not intelectual enough to understand him or is this guy just a little hard to understand.
South FLA reply :
What episode of the Bass Pros were you watching?
Some of his tidbits are darn near useless such as his one rod action/type for everything, and others are great, really liked his explanation of crank bait deflection.
By the way, this post I think belongs in general fishing forum 
Ima Bass Ninja reply :
i think his information is ok but his delivery could use some help. Its very hard to follow him when he starts to repeat himself and pausing between statements. I think he just doesn't have a good camera presence, but his record definitely confirms he knows what hes talking about.
etommy28 reply :
here is my take on him. While he is and was a great angler, he is kinda, no very wierd and acts in a way that it turns people off(or at least me).
swampz reply :
i understood the crankbait deflection one it was the one about disapeering fish, the one with buddah that made me scratch my head

I have to agree, alot of what he says goes over my head but his knowledge of fishing is very abundant and with that episode he is speaking of a certain mindset and mental philosophy. I can't exactly remember what it was but at the time it made sense. It seems alot of his fishing advice is from a mental aspect, at least on The Bass Pros that is.
DWG1984 reply :
I wonder if the way he acts on the show is due to the way BPS wants him to be percieved.
ie as some kind of zen master
as for my personal opinion I like the way he approches passing on fishing knowledge, its pretty different than most of the other guys

I think that is probably part of it, kinda like the tribal elder.

Clunn is way out there at times, but the fact remains:
He has forgotten more than most of us will ever know.

swampz reply :
i just to make myself clear i have the utmost respect for mr clunn i would be lucky to have 1/8th of the success in bass fishing as this guy has had
Elite Image Fishing reply :
He is odd, but we all have our quirks... we just get to see his on film and learn a little something from him... or not. Well I can say I usually skip over the art of angling on the DVD.... unless his topic catches my eye.
bocraw reply :
He makes sense to me. Maybe I am weird too. To understand the owl you must study the mouse!
Bassnajr reply :
He seems to be the kind of guy who is VERY wise as far as fishing goes, but has a difficult time getting it across.
Plus, I hear is a "loner" and would rather be left alone. But they pay him to talk to us!!! 
Eternal Angler reply :
When I can't understand someone, all I end up doing is changing the channel. Never listened to Rick Clunn before, but I haven't heard too much about him.
oteymc reply :
I grew up in Southern Mo, so I can say this without having any disrespect. He may just be a hillbilly like the rest of us that grew up down in the hills, we have our own language! ;D
Tin reply :
I don't know but the young red head he was dating or got married to was hot.
Bassnajr reply :
He's a weird dude!!!
...but boy can he fish!!!!!

In 2008 at the age of 62 Rick fished 9 tournaments placing in the top 10 in 4 of those!
2001 B.A.S.S. Louisiana Top 150 Pro/Am in the foyer of the Cypress Bend Hotel leading into the conference hall for the pre-tournament meeting there are around 400 anglers and media standing talking. Everyone is there from Harold Allen to Kevin Vandam, some were waiting in line for 30 or more minutes when Rick walks in, heads straight to the double doors leading into the hall takes a chair places in front of the double doors and sits down leaning back on the chairs hind legs and crosses his arms.
I could tell some wanted to say something but not a word was uttered now that's weird
bocraw reply :
On Bass Zone radio they were talking about a seniors tournament for 50+ year olds. Experience is so important in fishing that IMO 50 is d**n close to peak performance age. With Rick doing well in his 60s -- like many others -- I don't see the need for a seniors tour. Anyway, fishfordollars comment about Rick's impressie stats at 62 made me think of that.
jc450r reply :
Rick is going to be at my local BPS on Feb. 14th. I'm gonna check out his presentation, but I agree on the show he does come off as a little strange.
TommyBass reply :
I have a tendency to agree with basically anything he says. He's a good fisherman and knows whats up. I particularly like his attitude toward one type of setup (ie same reel, action, rod, etc).
Kenny418 reply :
I would take his tourney record any day.
roadwarrior reply :
QuoteI particularly like his attitude toward one type of setup (ie same reel, action, rod, etc).
That's fine for Rick Clunn, but not for everyone.
I have used this golf analogy before:
Tiger Woods would beat anyone outside the
professional tour playing with a 7 iron only!
That doesn't make it the right choice for most
golfers.

dave reply :
What I know about Rick Clunn, is that on one of his segments, he told us to either put a cushion or fold one of our legs under us when driving the boat. I put a cushion under my butt the very next trip. OMG, what a difference on my knees and back. Thank you Rick Clunn!
