Do Double Digit Bass Make You Dumber?
On my 42nd birthday I caught the bass of multiple lifetimes, a legit, Boga-weighed 12-pounder. I achieved that feat at the legendary Camelot Bell, Mike Frazier’s bass fishing paradise about 80 miles south of Dallas.
Apparently to catch that beast I made a deal with the devil – I had to renounce all of my intelligence – because despite the fact that a particular lure produced my PB, I never caught another bass on that lure. In fact, I never got one wet again. Here’s the story.
Now I’m off to track down George Jeane.
