Scott Mackenthun joins the JMO Podcast once again for another great fishing conversation. In this interview we hash out the mental side of angling. As anglers we are all striving for confidence and reassurance that we are as good at fishing as we think we are. The reality for the majority of us is our weaknesses go unchecked until the day is done and we look back on our decision making with guilt and disgust, this can be a confidence killer. How to stay open minded enough to make quality decisions on the water while maintaining confidence even when there's a looming threat of failure is what Scott details in this interview. A passionate angler, outdoor writer, and fisheries employee for Minnesota's Department of Natural Resources are some of the life experiences that draw me to Scott for this topic of conversation. Regardless, I believe Scott is one of the most thoughtful, smart, and articulate individuals I've ever had on the podcast. This is ultimately why I wanted to hear what Scott had to say about the mental side of angling.JT Rods - www.jtodp.comShips Wheel Resort - https://www.shipswheelresort.comTwin Island Sleepers - https://www.twinislandsleepers.comOnX Fish - https://www.onxmaps.com/fish/appLake Of The Woods - https://lakeofthewoodsmn.comWebsite - www.jmopodcast.comFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/JMOFishingPodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/the_jmopodcast/
