Alex Klein - Oroville, Thermalito, Delta, Motherlode...: Wild West Bass Trail. They do tournaments at Clear Lake, Shasta, Melones, etc.... And the California Delta. The Delta is serious. Not sure why, really, but it is. Maybe because it has big fish. Maybe because it's incredibly difficult. Maybe because it's not your average bass fishery.... enter a fucking sea lion!!! It isn't normal, It isn't easy, the rest of the U.S. doesn't realize how difficult this fishery is. Alex Klein knew this coming in. And he found a place near him to practice. And then he put himself in a position to win against the best. If you like underdog stories, listen up. by The Bass Report
