It’s that time of year again for George Kramer to tout the top 40 bass fishermen in the Golden State. But, it’s also never been a more difficult assignment to figure out. The playing field has been an obstacle course for the touring pros as a combination of a poor economy and travel-killing, quagga mussel inspections have kept most fishermen close to home — once deemed to be the kiss of death for maximum career recognition.
With a year to chew on things, more diligent researching of numerous tournament circuits, plus a concern that fishing guides and even non-shared weight co-anglers were not getting enough credit, the California Top 40 Bass Anglers List has a different feel in 2011.
