No actual evidence, just my opinion but it’s either that he saw that the competition at his position was going to severely affect his playing time or he expected more NIL than was offered.
He's 12, and has caught 1 bass in his life so he can't wait. He likes to crank though, hates to fish slow so I'm gonna have to work with him on that. He can catfish fish and crappie fish like a pro, just not much of a bass fisherman yet. He made me buy a cheap digital scale last year so we can weigh every bass we catch. When we go he makes sure that thing is packed before anything else. Hahahahahahow old is he? If he hasn't caught a 3lb+ bass before, he'll probably flip out,. I always act like I've got a world record on the line if it's 3lbs or more. 2-3 years there should be some pretty big fish lurking around in that pond.
