Follow angler and diver Kim Stricker, and his son Danny as they get an up-close look at fish.

Kim and Sean Finley reveal the under-utilized fishery within the overpopulation of smallmouth bass and respectable northern pike.

Kim and Danny Stricker dissect the inner workings of a shallow reed field to reveal the habitat preferences of largemouth bass.

Kim probes reed islands and lily pads in search of mid-winter, Florida-strain bucketmouths; Seaguar's Flippin Braid stands up to the challenge while Strike King's 4 Rodent is the featured lure.

Although regarded as a nuisance to recreational boaters, Eurasian Milfoil provides a preferred habitat for largemouth bass; power-fishing with stout gear is a reputable method to catch them out of thick vegetation as Kim validates.
