A long-time senior writer for B.A.S.S. Publications, Robert U. Montgomery has been hooked since he first went fishing on a Cub Scouts outing. His degree in journalism from the University of Missouri helped him turn his passion into a career as a fishing writer.

He's fished for bass with the best anglers, guides, and pros across the U.S., as well as in Canada and Mexico; and, in doing so, collected a wealth of insider information he shares with readers in <i>Kickin' Bass</i>. Robert also reveals what he learned from his own decades of angling experience, including catching and releasing more than a dozen 10-pound largemouth bass.

Montgomery is the author of two other fishing books: Better Bass Fishing and Why We Fish. He also has written about nature, rescue dogs, and nostalgia in Fish, Frogs and Fireflies Pippa's Journey, and Under the Bed.
