Keep at it, absorb as much as you can in a way that works for you. Since I work in AI now, I am creating prompts that may help bass fisherman with their research - https://www.instagram.com/bassfishingaiprompts/ and https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61582954121838

I've had great success buying used Smith, Oakley, or your favorite premium frames on eBay. Find cheap ones with the lenses a bit scratched up, but the frames are still solid. Then I just order brand new polarized lenses from someplace like Revant Optics (revantoptics.com) to swap in. You end up with premium quality polarized sunglasses at a fraction of the cost. The Revant lenses are excellent and they have tons of tint options for different fishing conditions! I have done this twice with a set of Smith frames that are discontinued.
