If you're a smallmouth bass fan, you're in the right place. Few anglers know as much about brown bass as the Guru, and none of them are as willing to share that knowledge with you.
Stephen knows smallmouth fishing like few other anglers will ever know it. He grew up fishing Dale Hollow Lake, home of the world record smallmouth and likely the best brown bass lake in the entire world. But not only did Stephen learn in the best place, he also learned from some of the very best, including the legendary Billy Westmoreland. His friends are some of the very finest anglers in the region - Bob Coan, Bobby Gentry, Cobby Hayes, and others. While you're here, be sure to check out some of the articles that have been published about Stephen, Dale Hollow, and Smallmouth bass over recent years. I'll bet you learn something that helps put more brown bass in your boat. These articles were written by Ed Harp, Wade Bourne, and other top outdoor writers. I even wrote a few of them myself. If you're thinking about visiting Dale Hollow Lake anytime soon, be sure to stop by the Dale Hollow 1 Stop. That's Stephen's store. Fill up the tank, and grab some cold drinks and snacks for the lake. Be sure to pick up some pound cake, learn all about chocolate gravy and ask if the Guru is in. Then get some information on what the Bronzebacks are doing at "The Holler." At the Dale Hollow 1 Stop you can also see the full line of Punisher Lures plus more bait and tackle than you could use in a lifetime. I'm not talking about kid stuff, either. I mean top notch bass fishing gear that any angler would be proud to use. Stephen doesn't do anything halfway. Until you get out there, enjoy the site and make plans for your next Smallmouth trip. Maybe I'll see you at the Holler. Ken Duke Senior Editor BASS Publications |
