Bill Murphy needs no introduction when it comes to bass fishing. He is arguably one of the fathers of trophy bass hunting and his tenure on the water yielded an almost-uncountable number of fish over ten. To top this off, Murphy did a lot of his best work during the early stage of the Florida Revolution in San Diego – a time when the big-fish population was being born. He learned his skills on the water and taught himself the ways of the big girls. He had no instructor or mentor – he was the Yoda of the day.
Skimming through the May 1974 issue of the California Lunker Club newsletter the other day, I ran across this article, penned by Lunker Bill himself, about his views on the plastic worm. Instead of paraphrasing the article I think it’s best to just let you read the whole thing.
I hope you enjoy reading a little history.
