And somehow I doubt you'll see him in here bragging about it...

John Sr's kid is a real expert in the field of trophy bass fishing it
seems,
maybe Sr. can talk him into joining us occasionally?

Read that entire article (and sidebars) and am impressed with the size of
fish these guys catch out there on the west coast, with apparent regularity.
Very impressed.

Also found the "superbass" piece pretty informative too. I had never heard
of an F1 hybrid, or Tiger bass until that article. Interesting reads, the
whole lot of "big bass" stories this month in BM. Some of us aren't gifted
enough to boat stringers full of fish concsistently and hence can't tourney
fish worth a hoot, and tend to learn our lakes as best we can in search of
the biggest ones in the lake. "Local" trophy fisherman if you will, as NC
will not be producing a true "trophy" bass in my lifetime I don't think. No
hybrids, Tigers or even Florida strain around these parts. Plain old, slow
growing, northern black largemouth bass is all we have here. (And is maybe
why we also Striper fish too? to tie into a truly large "bass" on occasion?)
Maybe.

Funniest thing in the whole mag this month (IMO) the "set" of ESPN ads near
the back on successive pages. Starts out "ESPN BASS Saturdays: 24 Hours of
fishing", then "ESPN BASS Saturdays: 12 hours of fishing" and then finally,
"ESPN BASS Saturdays: Ok, its not 24 hours of fishing, but it is 4
hours.......blah blah" I thought it was a hoot.
