I'm life member of B.A.S.S., get the magazine automatically and throw it in the garbage as soon as I get it. Not impressed by celebrity tips - most of which endorse the products that they generalize catch monster fish anytime you cast them. The waters fished most times are different than those I fish as are the seasonal, monthly and weather patterns for my area. The last magazine I valued was Fishing Facts Magazine, one of its writers I still keep in touch with weekly. Course back in the 70's there was no such thing as catch & release and to see pictures of hundreds of dead fish displayed per outing still makes be wonder the reason (bragging, supporting evidence of the article, etc.?).

Not too impressed after I did a search for freshwater fishing magazines. I'd much rather read what crappy.com members have to say or watch YouTube videos any day!
