In the early 1940s, the Gulf of Mexico held a large population of saltwater striped bass. Like the salmon out west, these stripers remained out in the Gulf until they were mature and then moved inland to fresh water to spawn. After spawning, they returned to the Gulf.

While watching a fishing show about 15 years ago, Kenny Churchill saw a couple professional bass anglers fishing Rat-L-Traps through standing lily pad stems.

Bassmaster Elite Series pro Chris Lane went through a rough patch a couple of years ago, struggling to string together much of anything resembling success and watching older brother Bobby qualify for Bassmaster Classics while he watched from the sidelines.
Younger Brother Lane handled business during only his second Classic appearance, and Sunday won the biggest prize in tournament bass fishing – the 2012 Bassmaster Classic title. […]
Florida’s Chris Lane abandoned the area he fished on the first day of the 2012 Bassmaster Classic, locked down one pool and proceeded to put together a 19-pound, 4-ounce stringer that boosted him into the top spot going into the final day of championship competition.
