Advanced Bass Fishing by John Weiss.

I have a little paperback called "secrets of the classic champs"  It's a couple of pages of interviews with each of the first 15 or so BASS classic champions. They talk about the pattern they used, why they chose it and so on.  It's really a great read.  They weren't so dominated by sponsors back then.  The information is very genuine, and the guys were really down home "good ole boys."  

I got it at church bazaar for .25 cents.  I wouldn't sell it for a hundred dollars.

Fishing On the Edge by Mike Iaconelli.  I read that book in about 3-4 days.  I just couldn't put it down.  On top of explaining his life and how he made it, there is little how-to sections aside from the book that are really good.  It is one of the first fishing books I've read but I just went up to the library Friday and had they get me Bass Strategies by Kevin VanDam.  I figure what better way to spend the winter than reading about fishing.

Sorry to highjack the thread, but I have one quick question.

Does Bill Muphys book talk primarily about trophy hunting?

Advanced Bass Fishing by John Weiss.

ABSOLUTELY!

I have more than 10 bass books now (and three more on their way), but nothing compares to Advanced Bass Fishing by John Weiss. A real Bass Bible (in spite of it being 20 years old!).

Yes, but it's not necessarily the place to start. The In-Fisherman Largemouth and Smallmouth books are what I would suggest first.

RW's right...for starters I had a book years ago I think it was called The Bass Fishermans Bible. I didnt know how to bass so I bought that and it taught me the basics and got me "hooked" Some of the most pertinent info for me was learned in that book.
