Top tournament anglers know that the key to a successful career catching fish is not all about catching fish. Sure, it gets you started, but it's what you do when you have your shot that makes all the difference.

A big part of that success is who an angler partners with to keep him on the water. That means sponsors. Top anglers know that a good sponsorship base reduces the pressures of life on the trail and keeps them focused on the job at hand. And if cashing a check at the next tournament is all you're thinking about, you're not focused on the right thing.

Building a strong Angler/Sponsor partnership starts with good communication. They keep you in swimbaits with the gas tank full and you make sure the millions of people watching at home know just how you fooled those fish.

Didn't get enough camera time or stage time? Get out your phone. Shoot a quick recap video that you can post in your social network. Or take a quick photo that you can share with hash tags and buy links. Didn't get them this time? Turn your attention to the next event for an event forecast or gear prep. Bottom line, don't ever leave your sponsors thinking, "What have you done for me lately?"
