Re: I won’t ever purchase a boat from Bass Pro Shops again. Check out this video
ill always pay a bit more for proven quality and service-- always! Nitro boats -- best layouts, looks, features, and set-ups - best boat dimensions (imo) if Nitro figured out quality control ; fit & fit - and kept same price point & paid lazer focus on service- they would dominate the market.

Castaic today— the trout were on fire.
I’ve never experienced this before— rainbows acting like bass— nailing my rip baits; crank baits; dropshot and jigs.
Wolf packs of these trout in coves. It was nuts. A 5 inch bow inhaled my 7 inch rip bait.
Bass were feeding as well. But those trout were nuts.
Anyone else experience the same?
