Approximately two hours before sunset, while on the boat, a dark rain cloud began to canopy over the top of the lake. After gathering my equipment to get ready for a quick boat ride back to our cabin, I realized this gentleman had no intentions of leaving. As the rain began to fall, he urged me to grab the fishing pole from the front deck with a black plastic worm already tied and start fishing. My first cast in the rain landed six inches on the opposite side of an exposed log. Immediately after the worm hit the water, a bass hit like that of Mark McGwire hitting a baseball.

Whitewater Fishing gear will be premiered and promoted on The Next Bite TV, which airs on the Discovery Channel, CBS Sports, and several streaming channels. The hosts of the highly rated show will personally represent the Whitewater Fishing brand as well. Hosts Chase Parsons, Korey Sprengel, Tom Kemos, Gary Parsons, and Jason Przekurat will be heavily involved in product development, too, testing garments from early samples all the way through to final production. 

When B.A.S.S. Elite Series pro and Wisconsin native Jay Przekurat began his first year as an Elite angler in 2022, he set a personal goal to do well enough to end each tournament by cashing a check and maintaining his spot in the top half of the angler standings.

A new year often brings New Year's resolutions, some of which include trying new things; if you are a die-hard fisherman or know someone who is, ice fishing may fit the bill.

For most anglers, once fall fishing ends, their boats are pulled inside for the winter, and their rod and reels get a break until the first signs of spring. However, winter fishing can result in larger-than-average bass catches. It only takes the angler paying attention to what bass are doing and figuring out how to lure them out of their winter hiding spots.

Watching in the distance, I noticed several boats travel into the small creek arms to do most of their fishing. It wasn’t long before I heard the bass splash coming out of the water. From where I was standing, I could see a gentleman reeling in a famous Table Rock largemouth bass. As my weekend at the lake continued, my assumption of where the bass could be found was validated.

As our boat came around another shoal on the Eleven Point River, we were utterly in awe of the moon that seemed to be sitting on top of the water. While motoring down the river in complete darkness, the lights attached to the gigging rail often allow us to visualize what is ahead. This night, however, the moon sparkling off the water gave us plenty of light, along with a special appreciation for being outdoorsmen.

I received my first fishing rod, reel and accessories from my mom and dad as a birthday gift some 35 years ago. A VHS tape titled Fishing for Beginners came with the kit. All these years later, I still clearly remember one segment of that video.

Two predictable things happen when the peak of summer arrives and temperatures rise. The first is that fishermen lose some of their enthusiasm, and the second is that fish can become harder to find. Anglers take heart; it’s no big mystery.

MUSKEGON, MI (July 18, 2022) – Yesterday, at 23 years and 26 days of age, Jay Przekurat became the youngest angler to ever win a Bassmaster Elite Series event. And if that wasn’t enough, the Stevens Point, Wisconsin angler did it by catching and weighing the heaviest tournament total of smallmouth bass ever recorded. His history-making four-day bag of 102-9 was accomplished amidst a 90-boat field of the best bass anglers on earth on what many are calling the most prolific smallmouth bass fishery in the world.
