5 year old Tyler Evans works the SPRO BBZ-1 rat like a PRO! Proud Dad shows off his kids first BBZ-1 rat fish!

10 minutes or so later I heard Karl say “This is a pig.” and watched as I closed the distance to him with his rod bowed over, hands held very high, fishing breaking the surface periodically and this went on for over a minute. As I walked up Karl was holding an incredibly beautiful fish.

If you’re Stany Matheussen, you tie on a SPRO BBZ-1 Rat and go fishing for Peacock Bass. 

This is a special "Shout Out" to someone that has always been there for us when we need to get on the water. Gideon Lee is moving on to better things but Castaic's LakeSide Boat and Marine is still in good hands. 

I have been writing a monthly fishing article for the local paper since 2006. I share my recent experiences and expectations for the coming month on the water. My goal is to pay forward some of the understanding of the waters that we fish and give you a path to adapting and solving an ever changing angling puzzle. Perhaps you can apply my perspective to your local water and catch one that will make you think of me. I will be dropping a line here @ theBBZ.com so stay tuned for more.

Jacob Phillips is the chef on the Excel, a long range luxury sport fishing boat out of San Diego California. Not only can Jacob whip up some excellent food for the Excel anglers, but he also has an eye for a great lure too.

Nick Whitworth is going to DREAM about his "Last Cast" for awhile. BBZ-1 Rat makes it happen in TX. How many have you have caught a fish on the "Last Cast"?

During the night or early morning hours, Tom loves fooling largemouth bass with the SPRO BBZ-1 Rat.
