Why BFS is the Most Fun Way to Catch Bass

Heading down to the local river/ lake for a quick midday session to see if I can’t land a few bass! The water is crystal clear today, making for some great sight fishing as I work a little swim bait around the rocks and bridge pilings.

It quickly turns into “Dinktopia” with a feeding frenzy of small largemouth and rock bass, but that’s the beauty of bait finesse fishing—even the little guys are a blast on light gear! I also manage to pull a nice largemouth from a deep spot under the bridge.
