When it comes to bass species, Gary Dobyns said the preference is black and white; or, perhaps, black and striped. For him, it’s less about size potential, as it is about the sheer sport.

Before moving to Texas in 2007, Dobyns spent 58 years in California where striped bass shared many of the Golden State waters with largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass — the black bass clan’s tournament trio. He’s caught plenty of each species and, while stripers are no joke, Dobyns will gladly take the black bass clan any day of the week.

“The thing that makes black bass so intriguing — there are so many techniques; so many ways to catch them,” Dobyns said. “Stripers are so straightforward. You might get a topwater bite, or you might get them on a hair jig; but striper fishing is very, very simple.

“Black bass fishing is so much more diverse, with so many more challenges. Honestly, they’re tougher to catch than a striper.”
