About Me

Early mornings, topwater blowups, and heavy cover—these are what get me up before dawn, rod in hand and heart racing. My name’s John, but most folks know me online as @ksbigbass. Bass fishing isn’t just a pastime for me—it’s a way of living.

My Fishing Journey

Whether it’s working an Eakins Jig through the rocks or swinging a swimbait into the shallows, I’m always pushing to be a smarter, more adaptable angler.
