    TEAM USA BASS - What we found in Africa!

    We just dropped the Official Practice Video for the Team USA Black Bass World Championship. Cool insight on how we all fished the Vaal River while preparing to win the GOLD Medal. This is video 2 of the 5 part series. Hope you enjoy. - Scott Martin

    Thanks for the video. Not what I expected for a South African lake. Some very nice shore line properties.

    Heard Watson talking about this on the radio a couple of weeks ago. It seems the fastest boats were provided to the South African teams, the interesting part was they have no coast guard requirement, small boats and with big motors. Seems first take off spot wasn't as much of an advantage as normal.

    Yeah I think he had a video prior to any of these coming out where he showed the 2nd place trophy. I think it was his man cave video or something.

    The South African anglers used their own boats and all the boats used for the forum teams were hired by the organisers from anglers who didn't qualify for the team. The Vaal is one the only big river that they have bass fishing in mostly its Lakes. There is not a huge amount of decent bass boats in South Africa so the organisers would of been stretched to get decent boats for the foreign teams.
