-Apparently, it’s not Photoshop. A bright orange bass was caught recently in Tennessee. Actually, it’s a pretty good looking fish. Definitely worth a look.

-The “Top 10 bass lures ever” is a tough list to make. It’s like declaring you know the best song of all time. So, did Shaye Baker get it right? Did he miss anything?

-I love when questions are answered by controlled, scientific study and sound rationale. How well can fish see your line, and more importantly, how much does it matter?
