"Bass fishing has evolved into what may be
the quintessential American angling form. It's a pretty good story
line: aggressive, scrappy, widely distributed fish . . . a ravenous
predator, susceptible to a wide range of lures and fishing methods . .
. pursued by people of all means, fishing as simply or as elaborately
as their interests and wallets desire. No wonder bass are king in the
collective hearts of North American fishermen."--Ken Schultz
Successful Bass Fishing is the definitive book on playing
and landing large- and smallmouth bass in every kind of water--a
