We wanted to see this fish up close and personal, but were not sure how it could have the drama of a saltwater fish haunting white-sand flats. So, we spent a year looking around for the right place to start our odyssey.
(And yes, unlike Location X, we ARE going to publicly reveal our locations when we are done shooting).
And we are going to show you some trophys and new ways wecfound to catch them.
You'll see fly rod pros match skills with spin gear pros - and show why the next big thing in light tackle fishing is upon us: A fish that lies just out of sight and hits you every time like the first swing in a bar fight. We loved every minute of it.
Disc One:

You´ll discover where the bass bug first caught them. The road trip then heads west. All the way west. California conventional rod pros join in a quest for trophy bass on the same boat with fly-rod pros, as they share secrets and a brand new look at the sport. Though California is home to the majority of bass-fishing´s world records, the reasons for its big fish, and how they´re caught, have been a mystery to many.

Their candid stories, and shared tactics however, are invaluable to anglers everywhhere.
