Predicting Weights of Giant Largemouth Bass. This is the unedited version of the article written for In-Fisherman Magazine. This version was not published due to the mathematics involved. In other words, it would put pretty much everyone to sleep before they got through with the first paragraph!

Weight Estimation of Big Bass. This is the unedited article that ran on BassFan.com in March of 2005. It contains pretty much the same content that Predicting Weight of Giant Largemouth Bass contains but some of the statistics in the end are new. Also, the formula was used on a fish the Kyle Rasmussen caught but was unable to get a good weight on. My formula estimated it weighed an astonishing 17.3 pounds.

Giant Bass! When and Where are Your Best Chances. This is the unedited version of an article that ran in BassWest USA in March of 2005.

Drop Shotting From A to Z. This is actually the printed version, from Inside Line, of the first article published on drop shotting (as it is now called -- Sorry RichZ!!!) after it was brought "back" over from Japan in th late 1990s. I say "brought back" because famed freelance writer Rich Zaleski wrote about this technique back in the early 70s (correct me if I'm off there Rich) as the reverse split-shot rig. In fact, I think it was Rich who actually invented this technique.
