Your right. Bass fishing started in the South and I'm not saying that's a bad thing. I mean, I want to go to college in the South(New Orleans appparenty had an awesome med. school but tht key word there is HAD :( ) because of all opportunites for fishng they have. I don't blame BASS for catering to the Southern and Eastern bassers because that's where they have their roots. I was just thinking a little more about Western fishing would be nice and so would a larger western BASS division( But I guess that's why we have BassWest and WON, right!). Anyways, God knows Cali waters are already crowded, I guess i wasn't thinking about the throngs of fisherman that would start visiting here more often!
