My 17 lber… the untold story
ShareEvery successful angler sets goals to help stay on track but somewhere out there in the distance, even farther than the tangible is the intangible. The intangible consists of things too far fetched to even be called goals, they are left in the realm of dreams. One of my dreams was to someday log on [...]

ShareDoes anyone else remember when swimbait fishing was simple? Not only were you the only guy on the lake throwing a swimbait but you only had 3 or 4 legitimate options when it came to choosing a bait. Now there are so many brands and models that it can get really confusing knowing what bait [...]

Wednesday, October 27, 2010
ShareIt was only a few short years ago that I believed braid was only good for frog fishing. Oh how the tides have turned. Today you will find that every rod I own is spooled with braided line. From the smallest of dropshot rigs, to the heaviest of swimbaits its all braid of varying brands. [...]

ShareSome days you launch the boat and the world just feels right. You can sense that something epic is coming. The clouds are just right, there is a ripple on the water, and the water temperature seems perfect for big fish. On this particular day I had that feeling. That is, until 3 hours had [...]

ShareEarlier in the summer I showed a quick clip of some trout fishing high in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. It may be fall now but don’t kid yourself, you haven’t beat the heat yet. Here is another tip for getting away from those 100+ degree days: Head for the coast! Saltwater fishing is something [...]

Junk fishing allows an angler to adapt to the surroundings instead of trying to force the [...]

Tuesday, September 21, 2010
ShareAs some of you may already know I have a secret love for Brown Bass. In the early spring when the water first starts to warm I begin to forget about largemouth and focus my attention solely on smallmouth. There is something about the way they fight. It could be the huge jumps, or the [...]

Wednesday, September 15, 2010
ShareSoft swimbaits are a great way to catch fish, but they have one major drawback… their durability. They frequently rip and tear around their harness. With the price of these lures often being $20 or more, it’s only reasonable to want to get the most out if them. Matt shows an easy way to extend [...]

Sunday, September 12, 2010
ShareWe all have those days on the water where we just can’t seem to keep a fish hooked. Recently, I had one of those nights. I hope you enjoy watching me look foolish over and over again! Turn the sound up as the video will begin in darkness. What can I say? I don’t land [...]

Thursday, September 9, 2010
ShareLargemouth aren’t the only species you can catch after dark! We had a fun trip catching smallmouth the other night. It was a fairly mixed bite, we caught fish on weightless senko’s, crankbaits, and Jackall Flickshakes. The water was gin clear, there was a light breeze and we were fishing rip rap in 5-20ft of [...]
