Top Water Bass From A Float Tube

The video that follows was shot using my GoPro headmount at a little lake in southern Indiana in mid-June. I caught loads of nice, healthy, 12 to 15 inch bass using a shad popper from my ODC 420 float tube. It is very simple fishing…but was one of the nicest mornings I have had in […]
