KCFinesse Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 There was an article within the past few years about a mysterious bass angler who seemingly appeared out of thin air in Texas (?), fished with a couple of pros who thought he was a natural, and won some tournaments throwing jigs on a spinning rod, only to disappear again.... Does anyone have any references online to this article or know when that article was issued? Thanks! -Jared Quote
wdp Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 Funny you bringing this up, because my mind was wandering the other day and I started thinking about this exact article. Some of claims about the “mystery angler” in the article were extremely outlandish. Like he could catch fish anywhere and was like the best bass angler ever & nobody had ever heard of him. I think the article was like 10 yrs ago or so. I wish now I hadn’t purged all my old copies of Bassmasters so I could go back and look at it. But I always wondered if it was legit or so kind of fictional story for April Fools in an April issue or something similar. Quote

Dogface Posted July 18, 2022 Posted July 18, 2022 I remember the story. I do not remember if it was an April Fools prank or a true story. Quote

But I’m pretty sure it was in an issue published 8-10 yrs ago, cause not long after the article I cancelled my subscription. And I cancelled at least 8 yrs ago. Quote

KCFinesse Posted July 18, 2022 Author Posted July 18, 2022 Thanks everyone! I was talking about that piece to a friend and couldn't remember if it was a serious piece or not. Quote
