Bass taking their vitamins and minerals
Brent Chapman has a theory on why Falcon Lake bass fight so hard. They're not on steroids, they're just on a good healthy diet, rich in vitamins and minerals. Especially minerals.
"We've got a lake back home in Kansas called Cedar Bluff," said Chapman, who lives in Lake Quivira, Kan. "The bass there are the same way. I've heard it's the minerals in the water.
"In western Kansas we've got the same kind of bushes and water color. That's the only thing I can figure out  the minerals.
"They've got big deer here, and we've got big deer in western Kansas, so maybe that's it  the minerals."
That sounds like as good an explanation as anything offered so far.
