Those Tantalizing Floating Worms | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Those Tantalizing Floating Worms | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "The next time you encounter hard-to-catch bass in clear, shallow water, throw a floating worm at them.  You may discover that it’s the best way to catch fish under those conditions.
      A floating worm is exactly that – a soft-plastic bait that floats seductively on or just beneath the surface.  You can fish it in a do-nothing style and allow it to sink slowly, twitch it over the top and make its tail dance and dart, or add a tiny weight to the body and make it dart and sink."

Reflecting On Our Sport | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC

Reflecting On Our Sport | The Ultimate Bass Fishing Resource Guide® LLC: "In the late 1990's I was introduced to bass tournament fishing when my wife told me that her friend's husband wanted to know if I knew the difference between a jig-n-pig and a Carolina rig, and which one I preferred. You see, before that day I was a bank fisherman who sometimes went out in the canoe and fished for bass, blue gill and perch. Ten years later, I help run the fastest growing amateur bass tournament organization in the United States. In these ten years I learned about such things as catch and release, the teachings of Buck Perry and the many accomplishments of many anglers. During this time I have come almost full circle back to my roots of fishing with my dad and grandfather when I was quite younger."

Scale-Shattering Arkansas Striped Bass: Not a State Record but Possibly Worth $1 Million

Scale-Shattering Arkansas Striped Bass: Not a State Record but Possibly Worth $1 Million: "A series of setbacks has prevented Rodney Ply from registering his striped bass as an Arkansas state record even though it weighed 4 pounds more than the current state record-holder. However, his big fish beat the world record for a landlocked striped bass by about half a pound and Ply may win $1 million if the International Game Fish Association (IGFA) honors his catch, and no angler catches a bigger fish in the next three months."
