" 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 gamefishes. 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 walloper, migrant farmhand, and bear wrassler. And 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."

"Being able to read trout streams is just as valuable to a
fly fisherman as the ability to read a defense is to a Quarterback."
