Slow Down | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "Many years ago when I first made contact with Bob Crupi (the only person to have two bass over twenty pounds on the I.G.F.A record books), he left me with many new ideas.

Catching Bigger Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Catching Bigger Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "All bass have one thing in common, the simple format of their daily lives. In general the place you located fish on your last trip to the lake may not hold fish that day, at that time, but certainly whatever is there that makes them return will continue to do so even over a period of years."

How To Fish The Weeds | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

How To Fish The Weeds | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "For years growing up, my father and I would take trips during the fishing season to Long Point Bay in Lake Erie.

But perhaps the easiest and most reliable place to find fish is in the weeds."

The Forgotten Winter Technique | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

The Forgotten Winter Technique | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "It was during the fall semester 1993 at college that I really fell deeper in love with bass fishing. 19 years of baseball had taken its toll on my body.
