Butch Brown has caught more than 1,500 bass weighing 10-plus pounds. No one in the history of fishing comes close. He is world renown for his skills as a fisherman, but why does he search for these elusive big fish instead of the guaranteed small catch?

What kind of boat does he have I like that thing
That was a great interview with such a deserving guy. Butch is a hero to many!
The GOAT of Big Bass fishing!
"I remember in my childhood!".
– Butch Brown
What is the bait Butch is pouring?
Love that the GOAT is in a little old tin boat! No $80k sparkle machine needed.
We need to start a go fund me and get this man some forward facing sonar
“It’s not an addiction anymore.” Shit, this man has ascended to fishing nirvana. Hope to get there one day.
Also I live In Northern California so I thought it was cool that I live in the same state as him
I am 12 years old and I have looked up to butch brown for so long I’d love to meet butch someday l love to fish and I enjoy watching his videos
the GOAT!
I love his mentality. I share the same exact thoughts when I’m fishing.
What a wealth of knowledge this man is! Goat!
Dang Butch making the LA Times!! Great job, what a legend of the sport!!
This is so cool! Cool to see Bass fishing on here
So much goes into a bass reaching 10 pounds or bigger. Gotta practice catch and release on the 2 pounders.
How does one get ahold of him ive tried multiple times
His baits are bigger that anything that can catch lol
Butch has been beyond generous to me and I will never be able to thank him enough for what he’s done for me. Butch is the man.
Amazing on so many levels. He was two decades ahead of the curve.
IF you want any advice on how to… he is The answer. lures, rods, etc. nowadays most of the so-called swing bait fishermen just are working to c.o to promote their staff.(fancy)

Video from cast to catch…legit.
Thank you for this Story Its Makes You feel better![💗](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f497.svg)
What makes California have a large number of double digit bass more then any other state. In most states you are lucky if you can get a double digit bass, but it looks normal in California
Only decent piece of journalism LAtimes has done in years
I've run into Butch dozens of times fishing the Lagoon, he took the time to talk to my son extensively on one of our fishing trips there, what a classy dude he is. He really is a LEGEND. This is a great piece on a really great guy and it just reminds me of the good we can share when we take the time to slow down a little.
Cool stuff bet it must feel good to get this recognition after all the hard work butch has put in he def deserved it and one for the haters haha.
Butch is the real deal! I remember meeting him at Castaic when I was 10 years old. he gave me a swimbait and some useful tips! he is a class act.
Hell yeah butch!
Living legend. So awesome to see our sport grow
Swimbait legend![👍](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f44d.svg)
Living Legend right there![👆](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/svg/1f446.svg)
I am in my early 60’s now and go out often with swimbaits these days. My most productive time has been prespawn when the bass were feeding up for the spawn. Is there a season “not” to throw big swimbaits? During the spawn and just after, they seem to have no interest it seems.
Now this is SICK! So cool to see our sport on here!
War, inflation, homeless, drought. Glad you have your priorities. Big bass, how does he do it? Inspiring.
Great video!!
Putin, Biden and Macron on a plane across Europe (the joke is old, but it's funny. I posted it on Youtube).
Putin, Biden and Macron were on a flight across Europe when the plane caught fire. There were only two parachutes on the plane. Hastily, Putin grabbed a “parachute”, turned to Macron and Biden and shouted: “Comrades! I need to stay alive to save Russia!” Putin jumped out of the plane. Macron took a parachute and gave it to Biden. Excited, Biden exclaimed: "Macron, do you want to preserve my life so I can save America?!" Macron replied: “No, Biden! We have two parachutes. The daring Putin, in order to get the parachute, took my backpack and jumped out of the aircraft!”.
Great LA Times story, nice way to start my day, congrats. Front Page Wow!
