Anyway, a few pros shared their favorite fishing baits to use for springtime bass.

Casting Jigs for Stripers from trolling to vertical jigging to soaking live bait, but few methods are more exciting and fulfilling than casting and retrieving lures.

Berkley pro Adrian Avena is a Bassmaster Elite Series pro with plenty to prove during the 2018 season. He barely missed qualifying for the Bassmaster Classic last year and has the hunger and drive to push toward the top of the leaderboard.

For many anglers on the Bassmaster Elite Tour, the competition in 2017 offered a diverse opportunity to test their skills within vastly different fisheries on a variety of bodies of water in a multitude of water conditions.

After years of fishing for dough, you'd think many pros would like to be fishing familiar waters where they can economize their time and not waste other resources, such as gas, attempting to learn new water.

Many people think that because a professional fisherman makes their living fulfilling sponsor commitments and fishing tournaments that they have all the answers.  

At the end of each season, any tournament or recreational fisherman, worth their grain of salt, will reflect on their season. It might be memories marked by difficult days on the water and decisions gone wrong, or when the planets aligned and everything went their way.

Happiness is a relative term. Each individual must define happiness for themselves. So, what the heck does this have to do with bass fishing? An awful lot. If you're not happy fishing, then you may need to take up another sport.
