-I love seeing another state showing an interest in growing some trophy-sized largemouth bass. Bussey Brake Reservoir in Louisiana already had some pretty strict rules in place, but starting this summer it’s all about the big bass.

-Of course, Outdoor Life magazine has a long history. So, it’s great to see them digging into the archives to republish this July 1960 review of a great new bass lure called a Gollywomper. Enjoy a little nostalgic fun.

-The Tactical Bassin’ guys churn out an amazing amount of top-quality bass fishing information. In this video, Tim Little shares tons of tips, tricks and secrets to get you up to speed on the hottest lure and technique of the recent past, strolling the jig and minnow.
