Found some old archive videos form years back talking about bait selection. Few things may have changed but not much. Did this video on Diamond Valley Lake with best friend Mike Jones before it was even opened to the public (7 plus years back).

We need to talk. Specifically, we need to discuss "specifics." With the impending release of our book, we're hearing from more and more bass fishermen who are embracing the Big Bass Zone (BBZ) techniques. But, for some, there's a little confusion over what constitutes "specific" information.

Stalked a couple of deer the other day and it took over 30 minutes to get out of the boat. Was 3 feet away from the doe and was going to poke her but thought I would get a hoof in the face. Check us out!

In our previous Big Bass Zone discussions, we hope you've recognized that the top-middle-bottom concept is crucial. The goal is to identify these three key levels and then attack them. However, we may have ignored one item of extreme importance.

For some, the post-spawn is a period of dread. Yes, it's supposedly a time for bigger bass. And yes, they can be taken in a variety of ways. Then, why is it so hard?

It reads like a swimbait infomercial. I would like to see this series return to catching and locating large bass, not a single-technique process.
