River Bass | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "We had just finished Sunday dinner at grandma and Pep Pa's when dad hollered, "Okay boys, let's go to the river!" My cousins and I shot out the door and started gathering minnow seines, trottines, minnow buckets, and rods and reels. We all knew there was a tow sack already loaded in the '58 Ford. It was there from last weeks river trip. It was there for the mud holes we hit on the way to gather crawdads."
