Journal... Entry29 - Day 1 Davy Hite: I Didn't Dwell On Letdowns Winner of the 1999 BASS Masters Classic and Angler of the Year on the B.A.S.S. fishing circuit for 1997, Davy Hite of Prosperity, South Carolina, has won more than $1/2 million in tournament fishing. Hite consistently catches bass often more than all the other bass-fishing pros on the circuit. "Mental attitude is very important, and I'm living proof of what mental attitude can do for a fisherman," Hite emphasized. "I was Angler of the Year because I was able to keep a positive mental attitude all that year. I didn't dwell on letdowns. When I didn't perform well, I got those poor performances out of my mind quickly. "In the 1996 BASS Masters Classic, I finished second. Many people told me I was the second-best bass fisherman in the world. Being second best gave me the incentive to push a little harder and fish more aggressively than I had in past years. Although I didn't win a single tournament in 1996-97, I took seven top-10 finishes and was proud to win the title Angler of the Year. I couldn't have done it without having a positive mental attitude." TOMORROW: DENNY BRAUER: LEARN TO ROLL WITH THE PUNCHES
