…and say what you will, I believe the comments about Mike weren’t all that far off. Pretty sure he still caught a ton of big fish back in the day, regardless whether scruples were applied.

Put your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel when backing - that way you can turn it in the same direction you wish to turn.
