It’s finally time for Mr. Sasaki’s first time Bass fishing in the United States! And of course his guide is the famous pro angler, Brent Ehrler at Lake Perris. Last year Brent guided the previous H-1 champion in Diamond Valley Lake, but due to prior fishing information, we decided to go to Lake Perris which is also Brent’s home lake.

Recently in Los Angeles, it’s been raining for 3 days which is very unusual here. And our fishing day started in a rainy weather condition so Brent predicted it would be some deep range fishing.

The very first bite in the early morning was made by Brent with a jig. Afterwards, Mr. Sasaki caught his very first Bass (in the US) with a down shot and of course we took a snap at that! At around noon, the rain had stopped and as we moved to different locations we threw in some Crankbaits but got absolutely no bites. Using the winning lure “Big Bud” had to be carried over to the next day. From the beginning to the end, Mr. Sasaki expanded his slow fishing method with a down shot and ended the day catching 4 Bass!

Also as a Basser magazine editor, he didn’t forget to take some photos of his own for an article.

In addition to Bass, we also caught a Blue Gill! How rare is that!
