    I'd love to share the boat with Rick for a day. I've been followed his BASS career since he started. I'm a spinnerbait guy myself. Caught one this year on a spinnerbait that was flirting with 11 lbs. Amazing that hes still competing. I'd guess hes been fishing the Elites longer than anybody as far as I know.

Im not up on what colors work best on spinners for bass. But im awesome on spinners for big 3-5 pound brown trout. Lol
