Capt. G, or Greg Vella. I do the swimbait thing here in Japan, and have learned a lot from my friend Rob since we became friends several years ago. I had a terrible fishing accident last fall, and have been hospitalized in Japan for four months. I am out now, and and will try fishing after a long (too long) recess. I have not gone more than a couple of week of no fishing since I was two years old. Anyway, just wanted to say hello, and that calfishing rocks. I will try to post some fishing reports or other interesting stuff from Japan by me or my prostaff. Peace... Capt. G The last bass I caught in the USA is attached. It just goes to show you that all bass are not smart (this one ate even my swimbait)
