I called the back-to-back FLW event winner this morning about 6 a.m., but I did’t get a pick-up. I was thinking, with a 2-hour time difference at Table Rock, Brent might be up and around if he decided to drive back to California.
But then I figured, maybe the La Sierra University grad has reached such prominence, he might have somebody else drive his boat so he could fly home–yesterday. If so, my 6 a.m. call was probably going to roust our favorite son.
Anyway, when you scramble for a blog topic, you do that kind of thing. It would have been nice to hear his tale of 5-inch Yamamoto grubs in the tree tops of Missouri. After the Mike Iaconelli hype from the Bassmasters Classic when Ike fished a grub when everyone else went lipless, it is safe to say, the resurrection of an old Western favorite is in the works. Brent’s $125,000 success will surely startle the bass market like some some Hollywood starlet’s fashion statement on the red carpet.
In other words, the grub is about to become cool again.
But apparently, it will take a few hours to actually get Brent to talk about them. So while we wait, I think I’ll get on the water and throw some grubs this morning for a few hours. At least it’s something I don’t have to special order.

Almost all on the Flick Shake today: cola, for whatever reason.
As you might remember George, Gary Dobyns did catch a few bass on GYBC grubs at the 2009 US Open. You might be onto something.
He’s in Flippin, AR right now George. He’s turning in his old boat into the factory for refurbishment and picking his new boat up. Talked with him yesterday while he was driving from Branson to AR.
He’s on a roll for sure!
So, how did the grub work for you today?
