Mike Long is one of the most successful trophy hunters who has ever lived ! Mike has several lake record Largemouth bass, as well as two lake record Crappie, two lake record trout, a lake record Channel cat, and a 78 lb lake record Blue catfish to his name ! If there is a trophy freshwater fish swimming in So Cal. waters, Mike is probably going to catch it........or he already has !
Mike attributes much of his success at being able to eliminate unproductive water fast, so that he can then concentrate his efforts where the big ones hang out. He uses all kinds of artificial lures: plastic worms, jigs, swimbaits, etc. as well as live baits such as crawdads.
While looking at these amazing photos, some may say, "Yes, but he is fishing in the best area for trophy bass on the planet" ! Well maybe so, but keep in mind that there are literally millions of good anglers down there who have never caught a bass over ten pounds ! Mike obviously has the art of trophy bass fishing down to a fine science, and is definitely the kind of angler I want to learn from. And to top it all off, he is a very nice guy as well !
