Re: Matt Allen at Ultimate Bass University Tuesday May 15th
I dont think Matt needs to be pumped up on this subject of trophy bass as its a lot harder than it used to be. Trout stocked private lakes, ponds or any other for that matter. If your catching any DDs your good and lucky also.

This is what chaps me. The dang roads are so beat up in the right lane you almost have to tow in the second lane. Then you accidentally find yourself going with the flow of traffic which is 65.
