Default Losing the ability to catch Bass!

How can a person actually lose the ability to catch Bass?

OK, I am 61 years old and obviously I have lost some reflex's and feeling in my hands. My eyes are still pretty good and I have a pair of prescription polarized glasses that I wear fishing. This has not just been this year, it has been for about the last five! Here is the rest of it!

I live on the best Bass Lake in my state, I have fished it for over 45 years. I know it like the back of my hand! Yet I cannot seem to catch bass anymore anywhere near like I used to! I have friends that are older than me that kick my *** on a regular basis. I do not even get the reaction bites that I should be getting! I have only caught 6 Bass this year so far and worked my *** off for those!

I have actually thought about selling my boat and quitting Bass fishing!

I'm feeling like a Hasbeen!!!
