Randy Howell is no stranger to glory and fame in pro bass fishing. He's won multiple tournaments including the coveted Bassmaster Classic. Howell has been on the pro trails for over two decades and isn't stopping anytime soon.
Canadian smallmouth ace, Simon Frost, calls the eastern basin of Lake Erie home and knows that smallmouth bass can be moody. So what's Frost's solution when a tube jig and dropshot take a break from the action? He's convinced the Bass Pro Shops Speed Shad swimbait will clean house.

Kevin VanDam won three Bassmaster Elite Series tournaments during the 2016 season. After many silly pundits/trolls wrote off arguably the greatest professional tournament bass angler to date, it was a heck of a performance by a pro that just seems to perform under pressure.

Randall Tharp finished the Bassmaster Elite Series pretty darn close to the top of the Angler of the Year (AOY) points list. In his third season on the Elites, Tharp finished the season third in the AOY race and took home his first Elite Series victory in Arkansas at the Bull Shoals/Norfork Lake event. Oh yeah, he's a former Forrest Wood Cup (FLW Championship) winner as well.
A slouch in the bass tournament game he ain't.

Oh the times they are a...forget about it. No cheesy song lyrics quotes here. Instead, let's talk about the changing nature of pro bass fishing. Boy, it sure has changed since its inception in the 1960's.
So, who better to ask about the changes than the blonde bombshell of pro bass fishing, Jimmy Houston? Jimmy has been fishing pro events for 50 years. He's seen almost everything as far as the evolution of the sport.

Former Bassmaster Classic champ Alton Jones recently finished the 2016 Elite Series season. He had a solid year finishing 15th overall in the Angler of the Year race and qualified for the prestigious Bassmaster Classic.
So, what will Alton be doing during the fall? Sure, there's hunting and housework, but the bass are still biting, too.
Jones shared his favorite approaches for bagging a few bass when the leaves are changing colors.
Some people may think you have to be a fisherman to work at Bass Pro Shops, but this just isn't the case. I came to work here with a long family background in logging and living/camping in the woods. I hadn't fished since childhood when my grandfather would take me fishing for catfish.

Get ready, bassers! The fall is just around the corner. That means some of you will disappear into the fields chasing various game, but for those of you who remain on the water its prime time to whack some bass.
Though it may still be warm during the day the nights start to cool a bit and the bass will usually start to move a little shallower. The fishing can be terrific.
Can you handle the heat? Some of the year’s biggest bass are caught through the dog days of late summer. You can catch them, too, IF you possess the knowledge and skills to adapt when the water temps hit 80º F and higher. To find out, take this Warm Weather Bass Tactics Quiz. If you get them all right, you’re one hot stick who can handle the summertime heat. Get out there and fish!
The River2Sea Whopper Plopper has taken the bass fishing scene by storm as it defies logic. It produces vicious all-day strikes whereas most topwater bites shine first thing in the morning and late in the evening.
