Today, I had a class of Bass fishing in Lake Tarpon with the teacher John!!! I never thought, that power bait tackle could be used as finesse style to attract big bass!!! The fish were lazy, but they showed us, that they were there!!! This time the master John caught more fish than me. Next time I will be ready for the big Bass!!! I recommend captain John for everyone, that intend go fishing in lake Tarpon!!! See you captain John! Take care!
