I’ve previously blogged about the connection between Brooklyn, the Notorious BIG, and fishing, apparently the obviousness of it all extends all the way to New Zealand.

Now that we’ve gotten just a small taste of Calico Bass fishing we’re ready to catch some big ones. While the big ones are a prized catch, it’s hard to find replica examples. Here are some of the few we’ve found.
