Well, here it is!
"But if the salmon and trout must be classified as elite in this mythical social structure then let the black bass be given permanent status as the working class of American gamefish. He's tough and he knows it. . . . He's a bass sax grumbling get-down blues in the bayou. He's a factory worker, truck driver, wild catter, lumberjack, barroom bouncer, dock wolloper, migrant farmhand and a bear wrassler. If it's a fight you're looking for, he'll oblige anytime, anywhere. Whether it's a backwater at noon, a swamp at midnight, or dockside at dawn, he'll be there waiting.He's a fierce-eyed, foul-mouthed tobacco-chewing redneck who has traveled to every corner of the nation, paying his way and giving no quarter.
