The author grew up in small farm country in southeastern Ohio. The fascination with trophy bass began when he was eight years. His goal was to catch a lunker largemouth bass from one of the many ponds in the area. At the age of ten, he caught his first 6-pound bass on a spinnerbait. The study of the writings and teachings of bass fishing pioneers such as Buck Perry, Al Lindner, Doug Hannon, Homer Circle, Glen Lau, and John Weiss brought a much deeper understanding of trophy largemouth and smallmouth bass. Applying this knowledge resulted in a true obsession with catching lunker bass. Some 40+ years ago his fishing friends gave him the nickname of “Mr Bass”. Over the past 50+ years the author has pursued trophy bass in 21 states, the Great Lakes, Canada, and Mexico. This has allowed him to catch hundreds of largemouth over 7 pounds and hundreds of smallmouth over 5 pounds. He has guided many fishermen to their personal “Bass-of-a-Lifetime”! An inner voice has told him it is time to share his guarded secrets to catching lunker largemouth and smallmouth bass. The concepts, tips, and presentations contained in Trophy Bass Fishing, Ol’ School & New were validated by his personal lifetime experiences. His hope is that you to will catch that “Bass-of-a-Lifetime”!
