I’m sure that if you ask any angler participating in the event, they would probably give you an answer involving the tournament itself combined with an electrifying arena environment unlike what you would find at any other tournament. If […]

Hey Falcon Lake, WTF!

     Mr. Lake Fork and Sam Rayburn, I have two words for you. See Ya! You are no longer the reigning champs of Texas any longer. While you are still without a doubt a couple of the best big bass lakes in the world, some of your native brothers are on FIRE!
     Last year unbeknown to many […]

Can Roumbanis Repeat in ‘08?

     Usually when you ask a question like this, you are talking about the AOY or Classic Champ. Not this time. This time I am talking about 29 year old Bixby, Oklahoma native, Fred Roumbanis.
     Throughout the 2007 Elite Series season, Roumbanis rolled is way to a 12th place finish in the Angler of the […]

Choose You Reel Poll Results

     As anglers, we tend to have a specific brand of equipment, gear, boat, and bait that we stay loyal to. This could possibly be most evident when talking about their rod and reel of choice. While there are many different reasons for this, Getting Reel asked its readers to choose which brand of reel they […]

Flip Cold Weather Bass During Winter Warm Fronts

Last week my area was graced enough to have been given some outstanding weather that saw some clear skies and air temperatures reach into the low 70’s. With such great weather I was not only able to cut out some underbrush in my yard, but I was also able to hit the water and manage […]

National Guard Adds To Their ‘08 Team

     Every year, certain sponsors in the fishing industry seem to get bigger and bigger. The only thing I am waiting for is to see tournament bass fishing develop team owners much like Nascar. Not really, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see someone try it within the next couple of years.
