Feast or Famine – Summer Bass Fishing (ft. ExtremePhillyFishing)

One of my best fishing buddies joins me for some mid-summer Maryland fishing!

I actually owe Leo a huge thanks for what he’s done to inspire me to fish. If it wasn’t for him, I may have never even created this channel. When I was in college at Drexel University in Philadelphia, I didn’t even bother to bring my rods because I figured the waters were too polluted to hold fish.

My assumptions were half correct, the waters were heavily polluted, but they held some impressive fish… I never would have found out about these Philly fishing opportunities if I hadn’t stumbled upon Leo’s blog http://extremephillyfishing.blogspot.com/.

After reading about how a river I passed EVERYDAY on my way to class held over 50 species of fish, I went back to Maryland that weekend, grabbed my rods, and started fishing like crazy!
