About this ebook

Ray Scott founded the Bass Angler Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.) and launched a series of tournaments that created a new brand of sports hero: the professional bass fisherman. Roland Martin and Rick Clunn won big tournaments and grew into legends. They inspired countless anglers who dreamed of fishing their way to fame and fortune. BASS WARS vividly describes the beginnings of B.A.S.S. as it follows Clunn his top rivals and two of the young dreamers Randy Blaukat and Randy Moseley during one grueling and fascinating year in the high-stakes high-pressure sport of big-league bass fishing. Bass anglers and fishing fans alike consider it a classic.

    I first read Nick Taylor's Bass Wars more than a decade ago, and it struck me as a fun, penetrating look at the professional bass fishing tournament circuit.

    I'm not necessarily the kind of guy who gravitates to "year in the life" books about professional sports, but Taylor spent a year following the heavy hitters and wannabees of the professional fishing world, and what he produced was interesting enough that a couple friends -- who don't fish -- found it engrossing.

    The pro bass fishing world has changed a lot since Taylor wrote about it, but the story is timeless, and the real people populating this book are rendered so faithfully -- and so interestingly -- you simply can't look away.

    It's good enough that I pulled it off the shelf and re-read it on a whim, and -- as with my first reading -- I turned the final page and found myself wishing Taylor would have written a second installment.

    Bass Wars is somewhat dated, but a great story never really goes out of date.
