FLASHBACK: Bassin' Rules Debunked!
We all learned it, but who taught the bass?

here is a Dirty Harry flick where these motorcycle cops were taking it upon themselves to kill off all the bad guys in California. Son, they were pulling them over and doing them all in! When Clint figured out they were doing it, he met up with them and asked them, "What gives and why for?" Part of their reckoning was that they had no other cops to look up to, no judges or lawyers they respected, no heros, no champions, no good role models whatsoever to follow...so they decided to do the whole justice process from A to Z all by themselves. That's kind of the same way I learned how to fish...no heros, no good guys telling me what to do. So I took matters into my own hands (just like these motorbike cops in the Dirty Harry flick) and I started knocking off bad bass any which way but loose! In the process, I probably used some pretty unorthodox tactics! Now, I continue learning about bass, often by reading tons of 'zines...but when I am out on the water? I just shut down my "thinker", and I disregard everything I ever read in a magazine! I revert back to doing things that get me bites without ever thinking if it is "right" or "wrong" - a vigilante style basser you might say! There are no rules for me, nobody out there for me to watch or idolize...so I watch the bass. I observe THEM in their environment. Sometimes they are skittish and spooky, sometimes they are bold and aggressive.
