BASS FISHING

My best friend Richie took me bass fishing my very first time. And I got hooked on bass fishing that day! The Pacific Northwest has some underrated and quality bass fishing lakes, rivers, and reservoirs for both largemouth and smallmouth.

I may not be a professional bass fisherman (not quite yet), but I love chasing these bronze and green fish from sun up to sun down anywhere.

Abu Garcia Reels
Googan Baits (Crankbaits, Lunker Logs, Spinner Baits)

Gamakatsu Hooks
P-Line Braid & Florocarbon Fishing Line
XtraTuf Fishing Boots
