Giant (one pound plus) baits for big largemouth
(Preview)
require a stout FW swimbait rod. This is one of my pro staff with a 7XH rod, with abalone inlay, that can handle baits up to 18 ounces. And a shore caught bass on the giant bait.

An inner city bass on the "Che" rod...
(Preview)
World class wonder weaver, Owen Dare, did a fine weave on a piece of pipe, and sent it to me. I built a 9 ft. 3 inch bass rod--long for fishing from shore, or high places. Not expecting to catch anything at all, I was pitching a WAR jig in a canal in Downtown Osaka...and I got a good one!

Fly fishing for trout, in Japan, with BD's Matt Smith
(Preview)
Matt, who is currently serving his 17th year in the US Navy, came to visit me in Japan. I took him fly fishing, and we caught some rainbow trout, Iwana (purple char, with white spots) and even a stocked Japanese steelhead, called "sakuramasu" in Japanese.

Bass in Japan

Hi All, here are a few pics of Largemouth Black Bass from my home lake, Lake Biwa. We are poor (spend all our money on fish'n and tackle), so we can only fish from the shore, mostly after work, at night.
