In most tournaments, Ish Monroe doesn't have a spinning rod on his boat. That's because on most bodies of water where top-level tournaments are held, spinning techniques don't consistently catch tournament-winning bass. Sure, you may catch a big fish, maybe a couple, but to win tournaments, you need to target the biggest fish. In this remastered bass fishing class seminar video, Ish Monroe shares his philosophy and tackle for targeting big, tournament-winning bass. Learn what baits Ish throws, where he fishes them and tips on how he gets them to the boat.
