If you go south, go bass fishing

Last week I attended the Professional Outdoor Media Association in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. The conference ended on Thursday and the group Ranch and Folds of Honor took six of us writers fishing on their ranch ponds, which brings up the title of this article. Bass fishing is king down south, so if you go south you’ve got to bass fish, don’t you?

Tom and the crew boated a lot of nice bass that day.

Brandon picked me up at 5 a.m. and off we went for the ranch. Upon arriving there, we met everyone and they hooked us up with a guide.
