| California back in 1980, I think it was
| |
| | remember. So, I said "what are you
|
| that year. I had been fishing for a
| |
| | talking about not fishing it right?". He
|
| couple of hours and doing ok, catching
| |
| | said "well, all you're doing is throwing
|
| some 1-2 pound fish and in a far I was
| |
| | the lure in and reeling it back. I said

| |
| | few inches at a time and they dart." He
|
| some 1-2 pound fish and in a far distance

| |
| | make it act like one." Then he showed me
|
| The closer he got, the more I noticed
| |
| | and guess what? He was right!His acted
|
| his jacket and all the patches on it, one
| |
| | just like a baitfish and even looked like
|
| said 1978 World Top Water Bass Fishing
| |
| | one swimming the way he did it. As he
|
| Champion, along with about 20 other
| |
| | stood there twitching the end of his rod
|
| patches. We began to talk, of course, I
| |
| | and letting it sit every two or three
|
| wanted to know all about him and he began
| |
| | twitches then twitch it two or three
|
| to tell me about how he became champion.
| |
| | times more and let it sit, I seen his
|
| Now, I do want to say one thing here, I
| |
| | point. I also seen him catch another
|
| forget what he told me and I don't even
| |
| | bass, which made me a believer. Now I
|
| know for sure if there is such a
| |
| | don't know if this man was the top water
|
| tournament for the World Top Water
| |
| | champion or not but I do know one
|
| Championship but I watched this guy
| |
| | thing.........his technique works.I have
|
| fish.He was probably in his 50's or early
| |
| | used it on most of my retrieves anytime I
|
| 60's at the time and fished this lure
| |
| | fish top water and it works. Cast the
|
| different than I have seen before so I
| |
| | lure, let it sit, twitch the end of your
|
| paid special attention. Finally, after
| |
| | rod two or three times and let it set
|
| seeing him catch a half dozen fish while
| |
| | again. The only thing I have done is add
|
| I caught two I asked him what he was
| |
| | one additional move. I throw the lure
|
| doing and what bait he was using that he
| |
| | out and let it sit, twitch the rod two or
|
| was doing so well. He said he only used
| |
| | three times and let it sit and then I
|
| one kind of bait and opened up his tackle
| |
| | move the lure so slow it barely cause a
|
| box. Can you imagine my surprise when
| |
| | ripple and that is when I get most of my
|
| the only lure he had in there was
| |
| | hits. Try this techniques the next time
|
| Rapalas. I mean bunches of Rapalas,
| |
| | you fish your favorite top water lure and
|
| every color and size you could imagine.
| |
| | see the results.Charles E. White has

| I said where's the rest of your lures, he
| |
| | fished for almost 50 years for bass. It
|
| smiled and said this is all I use. By
| |
| | is estimated that he has caught over
|
| the way, at the time I was fishing with a
| |
| | 6,000 bass in his lifetime. His biggest
|
| Rapala, that was ironic to me. I said
| |
| | bass is a 12 pound 14 ounce bass that
|
| "that is what I'm using now".He said
| |
| | hangs on his office wall. Charles has
|
| "yeah, I see that but you're not fishing
| |
| | fished with people who have never fished
|
| it right". Well, I had fished for bass
| |
| | before and taught them to become
|
| for about 25 or so years then and
| |
| | successful anglers and has also fished
