An Interview with Manabu Kurita, Largemouth Bass Co-World Record Holder: http://www.tackletour.com/interviewmkurita.html

Still in Zapata, TX. Heading to the airport in an hour, this morning was brutal but great trip overall. There are a LOT of Bass in Falcon!

What a difference a day makes, yesterday was 70 degrees and fishing was awesome, today wind chill makes it feel like 35 and we have no fish.

Big fish was 7lbs, lots of 3lb fish. Hot baits were jigs, senkos and mag lizards. Got a few on spinnerbait and soft bodied swimbaits.
