What are some of the most helpful/interesting articles or books that you have read on bass fishing?  I recently found a very old article from Rick Clunn about seasonal patterns and it was very helpful and I'm hoping everyone can share an article or book that has helped them at one point or another.

this can be purchased on amazon for 1 dollar.. best fishing book ive read..

Mike Iaconelli not your fathers fisherman, its basically his bio and the start of his career to date. Great read, great angler

Definately a good place. Lots of information here.

When it comes to writing about techniques, lures, etc., the best writer in the business is Steve Quinn from In-Fisherman.  I used to look forward to his writings in their Bass Fishing Annual, but lately I haven't seen much from him.
