Every bass angler has this specific summer bass fishing memory: a hazy summer morning, floating on mirror-smooth water with nothing but the sound of the lure plunking into the water. Suddenly, you feel the weight on the line, you set the hook and feel your heart race and sweat drip as you reel in your first lunker of the day. Summer can be a tough time to bass fish, but nothing beats catching bass with just a t-shirt, a rod and a little sweat on your brow.
