ESPN reaches agreement in principle to sell BASS
Best of both worlds : ESPN tv exposure with a group that loves the sport running the company! This will be good. Now all of you who are members, put your sticker on your truck just like the old days! We got something to be proud of again.

Kevin VanDam Wins AOY!
Clunns take on it was dead on. I think the new ownership at BASS will address the post season format. I hate it for Skeet, but you cannot take anything way from KVD. He was awesome and Skeet did not perform his best with a 4 fish day during the post season. As for the whole season, Skeet was the man. I would like to see Brent Ehrler qualify for the Elites. I read he is fishing the Northern Opens, so maybe it will happen.

Pickwick Guides?
Roger Stegall has the most notoriety on Pickwick. He has a stable of guides, but if you can get Roger I would do it. He can give you a lot of insight on locating and patterning for larger fish.

Newbie help with removing trebles
Either swing em over the side of the boat or net em then let the needle nose pliers do their work. Lipping bass with treble hooks boat side is dangerous work.

Bass in deeper water
There are Elite pros who rarely leave the shallows and for a good reason. Yeah deep structure fishing can be productive but the bass always find a way to fool us and show up where we least expect it.

Flippin and pitchin
Whether pitching or flipping I am always doing it in cover primarily wood. I prefer hugging logs or flipping over limbs. I let my jigs dangle and usually get a reaction strike quickly. Worms will usually get worked a little differently. I fish creature baits like a jig. I keep my rod tip low enough to set hard when the strike is detected.

Downsizing in the heat
When fishing the river ledges down here on the tn river lakes, these fish have seen every big worm, jig,and 6xd that can be thrown. I sometimes downsize my worm to finesse just to give a different look offshore.
