Having grown up back east, and living in the south for too many years, I can say that the West not only has the best bass fisheries in the world, but the West also has the most versatile bass anglers. I love seeing how Western anglers go back east and dominate (ok, they dont dominate but usually do very well). Who cares about BASS, I dont.

And Dockboy, the bass fisheries in the New Orleans area cant come close to what you have in your back yard. Plus, that city is a sewer.
