Brown Bass West

While the FLW and BASS pros may be looking forward to whacking big brown fish in the next few weeks on the Detroit River and Lake Erie, respectively, if you want to see massive bronze, check out this 8.47 pound brute caught recently by Wade Ralston in the Columbia River near Tri-Cities, Washington. He's been a little tight-lipped about the details, but he has said that he caught it on a tube. Maybe one of the tours needs to pony up and make a Northwest Swing next year!
