In this episode, we sit down with the reigning Bassmaster Classic Champion and Elite Series Rookie sensation, Easton Fothergill. After a historic rookie season that ended with him hoisting the trophy at Lake Ray Roberts, Easton opens up about the "Champion's Mindset" that separates the pros from the pack. We dive deep into the specific finesse adjustments—including his dominant Neko rig technique—that helped him overcome a tough bite and win $300,000.
