The state record largemouth for Washington is 11lbs 9oz and it was caught Carl Pruitt on 4/9/77 at Banks Lake. 7,8 and 9lb bass are caught every year and some claim to have caught bigger in recent years, but the recent catch by Jordan Doucet nearly broke the state record. His bass weighed 11lbs 6oz ...

The Spokane Bass Club held their June event in neighboring Idaho on Spirit Lake. This small lake offers some giant bass and last year the club's biggest bass of the season was caught there at close to eight pounds. When the schedule came out the whole club was licking their chops; early June on a bi...

Montana is probably not the first place you would think of for a bass tournament, but they have some excellent fishing. Even though Noxon Reservoir was around 2.5hours from me, the TBF Divisional tournament was the first time I had ever seen the place. It was beautiful with snow capped mountains, ba...

My two latest webinars are now available to view on YouTube in case you missed the live webinar. One of them focuses on Breaking Down a New Lake and it does feature Clear Lake, CA and some of the spots and locations that stood out to me as an outsider. My other webinar was on Smallmouth Strategies a...

I had the opportunity to fish Lake Erie and Lake Ontario last week for a few days and can now check something off of my bucket list. I would say for smallmouth these two lakes rank right up there at the top like the Delta, Clear Lake, Guntersville and Okeechobee do for largemouth. The fishing was ex...

Mark, In order to see the best detail and SonarCharts you will need a different card, either a Navionics+ or Platinum card. This is a good resource to check out for everyone to see what each card will show for each unit. http://www.navionics.com/sites/www.navionics.com/files/documents/americas_compa...

The Spokane Bass Club Long Lake Classic had some massive weights for the Pacific Northwest. On the first day, the leaders had 29.05lbs of all largemouth. This year was the first year where there were no restrictions on how many largemouth each team could bring to the scales and the results showed. L...

For some reason I don't used jointed lures as much as I used to. I went out last weekend and my non-boater was throwing a jointed shad rap and was catching fish so I am going to try them again. The new Sebile Swingtail Minnow is a cool new design for a jointed jerkbait. It's a floating design and du...

While a 7.92lb bass might not turn heads in California, it is a giant by Washington standards. It happened yesterday in our tournament on Eloika Lake, a small 630 acre lake north of Spokane. Here is the recap and results from a great spring day. Our April event was held on Eloika Lake north of Spoka...

I just got a new bait from Sebile that is part of their Action First series and it's unlike any other topwater I own. Looking at it it has a flat belly (as the name suggests) and this is intended to give it a perfect walking action. They say the design came from the concept of a surfboard and it wil...

Living in the Northwest, we have periods of time where catching a bass is nearly impossible due to the cold weather, especially where I live in Spokane. This year winter was very mild but it still took me until Saturday to catch one. Each trip out in March, I picked the worst possible day of the wee...

The 2015 season has started and we had the biggest tournament in SBC history with 45 anglers participating in the event. The fishing was great for a March day in Spokane and there were several nice bags brought to the scales. Nik Autry won the event with 18.01lbs, including a 4.67lb bass. He took ho...

What do you think is the most important thing about a jerkbait; the size and profile, the color or the action? Jerkbait season in my area gets started pretty soon and I have been looking through all of my jerkbaits and really see no rhyme or reason for when I use each one. I have a few favorites and...

Usually every winter around this time I start to get a little bored and have a severe case of “cabin fever”.

The most recent Spokane Bass Club was a tough one. I ended up without a single keeper (along with 13 others), but the lake showed that it has some very big bass in it. Spirit Lake is in Northern Idaho and the bass feed heavily on kokanee salmon and trout, making it a great swimbait lake at times. Ta...
