Re: Mike Long admits deceit behind bass record?

I don't think he will ever recover from this with past tournament partners giving the interviewer information like this, and storing big ba...

Re: swimbait followers

As previously stated stopping and letting the fish get right under the bait works if you then go to a fast retrieve and they think it will get away, works good with floaters and Orso's work good and will do a 180.
