Year of the Big Bass

It is not like I have dedicated to "big fish" techniques like swimbaits or anything as most of my bigger fish have come on old standbys like jigs, crankbaits and drop-shot.

Calico Bassin' on the California Coast with Jared LIntner
Calicos are very much like a largemouth or a smallmouth, they just pull harder. I learned a lot about how current affects from doing things like this.
