ok, enough Bass bashing. What do you grumps do all summer when the rivers are too low, you already have 500 leaders tied, and WDFW has the Hoh closed? You'll find me out hunting bass. If you truly love to fish you'll like it. If you've never done it, try it. Many of you probably have or do bass fish and just don't want to admit it. I will say one thing that is a fact- bass fisherman have adamantly supported catch and release and have a plentiful resource because of it. Steelhead fishing is my first love but the same can't be said for it.
by the way...I caught a chrome bright silver in the Quillayute last fall on a lipless crank bait. (I "trapped" it)
