It's definitely its own class of bass fishing! You have to be committed to possibly one bite per day. Big gear, big patience, big bass. I have a few Hudds, a 13" Hiroshima trout and a couple combos set up specifically for throwing them but still find it hard to commit the time outside of March and April.
I got addicted to deep water off-shore fishing for bass a few years ago after a lifetime of being a shallow water addict. Just goes to show how bass fishing has something for everyone! Cool stuff!
