It isn't everyday that you get to hit the water with a Major League Baseball player, but that's just what MLF Bass Pro Tour professional Josh Bertrand had the opportunity to do in Arizona last week. Bertrand enjoyed a great day on the water with Arizona Diamond Back third baseman Jace Peterson. Bertrand met Peterson though the MLFAA/MLB pro am event and has kept in touch ever since. "Getting to share the boat with Jace was a great experience. He's an avid bass angler, and made the most of his day by catching a 5 pounder." said Bertrand. The Diamondbacks are currently fighting to secure a spot in the postseason, so hopefully Peterson doesn't have much time to hit the water again anytime soon! |

Designed in collaboration with Z-Man pro angler Brian ‘B-Lat’ Latimer, the Z-Man Gremlin features a bulky creature bait profile, twin tails, and side appendages that produce subtle action and vibration with the slightest movement of the rod tip. Poured with a ribbed body to increase its underwater presence while trapping air bubbles and producing a softer feel, the Gremlin’s polygonal body core holds the hook point securely even when dragging through heavy cover.
Constructed using Z-Man’s new Elaztech ‘flipping’ soft plastic formula, the Z-Man Gremlin provides enhanced durability while allowing for improved hook penetration when the hook point is embedded in the body. Available in a range of popular Z-Man colors hand-picked by B-Lat himself, the Z-Man Gremlin is spec’d out with flipping in mind but is also suited for a wide range of applications including Texas rigs, shakey heads, or Carolina rigs. Check out the full lineup here.

Byron Velvick on BIG Swimbaits for BIG Bass |
|
In this episode of The Big Bass Podcast, Terry and Ken are honored to have the angler who, without a doubt, introduced the swimbait to the competitive side of bass fishing on a national level. Byron Velvick grew up in Southern California and lived through the early days of the swimbait era, throwing the baits on the famed trophy bass waters. It didn’t take him long to realize their potential as a fish locator and a bed-fishing bait. But when he figured out he could use them in competition, that changed the game. Velvick realized in the early 1990s that the swimbait, under certain conditions, could win tournaments, and not by catching just one big fish. The fish would eat the bait for hours some days. He just had to figure out the right conditions to know when to commit to them. By 2000, he’d figured out the puzzle pretty well. Velvick tried to keep the secret under his hat and did well with it through March of 2000, when he won the Bassmaster Western Invitational on Clear Lake in wire-to-wire fashion. The cat was out of the bag. Ten years later, again on Clear Lake, in the Bassmaster Elite Golden State Shootout, Velvick threw the big bait and won again. Check it out in the latest episode here. |
