Bass fishing takes on numerous forms, from the simplicity of backyard pond fishing to the apex of competitive tournament angling. Yet, within this pursuit lies a distinct niche: trophy hunting via swimbait fishing. We headed out with anglers Paul Bailey and Pat Touey who have built their livelihoods around an obsession with the big swimbait bite. Cut from a similar cloth and hailing from Northern California, both Paul and Pat were fortunate to nurture their passion for bass fishing in the epicenter of big bait swimbait fishing.
