has to offer.
(continued from next page)
anglers are fishing. They have a very
firm idea of how they want to fish,
almost to the point of being stubborn.
Plus, they’re absolutely fierce com-
petitors, especially when it comes to
outdoor pursuits. They don’t like to
lose to the critters they pursue.
“To come in with just two or three
fish when others have caught 20
pounds is something that just sticks in
my craw,” says Morgan. “Not that I
lost to another angler, but that I lost to
the fish. They were biting somewhere
and I missed it. I might not show it on
the outside, but on the inside, it eats
me up, and I’m betting Dudley and
Wendlandt are the exact same way.”
Wendlandt agrees.
“We all want to be the best in the
outdoors on any given day,” he says.
“Whether we’re hunting or fishing,
when we don’t figure that animal out
on that particular day, it doesn’t sit real
well with us at all.”
Each member of this trio of veter-
ans is an extreme self-starter, highly
motivated by his own ambition. No
one has to tell Morgan, Dudley or
Wendlandt what time to get up, what
time to put the boat in or what time to
take out. They make their own hours,
and 16-hour days pursuing fish or
game is what they live for.
“We’re all self-employed,” Morgan
adds. “Fishing is our product. And we
know what it takes to produce that
product successfully. We have an obli-
gation to ourselves and our families to
perform and produce – or we go out of
business.”
In my experience watching them
fish, the three-time AOYs never seem
to be too jacked up or too dejected dur-
ing a tournament. No matter if they
caught 25 pounds a day in practice or
never had a single bite, the emotions
never show on game day. They know
every day is different, and they have to
roll with what’s happening in the here
and now.
Finally, they fish with no fear of
failure.
“That’s probably the strongest com-
mon denominator in the three of us,”
Wendlandt says. “I think a lot of times
we wake up on tournament day and
have no idea where or how we’re
going to catch fish. But that doesn’t
spin us out because deep down we
know we’re going to catch them –
some way, somehow. When they call
that boat number, there is no fear of
failure.”
