  • 30 of the best bass fishing anglers compete in the 1975 Bassmaster Classic on the Currituck Sound, North Carolina. The expert anglers talk about the appeal of the sport, and what makes the bass a challenging species to catch. Tom Mann, Paul Chamblee and Bill Dance top the leader board on Day 1.

    I still fish this way today, same reels, same rods, no electronics, and when you catch fish, immense satisfaction. I'm 65 yrs. old and thinking back, the most pleasant and content moments of my life have been spent Bass fishing.

    Man this is pure fishing GOLD!!! I wish professional Bass Fishing was still like this. Just pure fishing. If you didnt have a boat than they had one for you. Only 10 lbs of lures in one tackle box. No big 10 plus inch electronics. The old electronics we see them using in this video is a dinosaur to use but back then that was pretty much what a top end graph is to us this dat and time lol. I would have loved to grow up tournament fishing in those days. Plus look at the boats. Man what a change! 😮 I use to have one of those old 75hp Johnsons on a old 16 foot sprint bass boat I had about 10 years ago and to be from the 70s it still ran like new and would rip across the lake!

    Wow, you have no idea how much I loved this! Just looking back and seeing the trolling motors worked by your foot on the handle, the cone shaped weed guard on the blade and the fact that everyone had the same boat and tackle restrictions. I'd love to see some of this stuff come back! BTW, I REALLY enjoyed the 70's documentary vibe this threw out there.

      They were popular practical no nonsense weekend attire in the '70's for married, family oriented men, giving them a break from their suit or uniform, which they wore during the work week. Usually plain Jane worn when handling the "Honey Do List", fishing, chilling out w/ a beer, fixing the car, or working the grill. I remember Dad buying his at K-mart.

      Nothing but the tackle,boats, electronics, limits, ten pound tackle rule, the men who fished it and when is the last time you saw a pro fisherman pulling his boat with a car? Only thing that hasn’t changed is the bass.

    Even though the opening credits say music and narration by Tommy Faile, the story is being told through the eyes of contestant Jon Hall, who finished 27th. At the end, the narrator mentions the last names of all the contestants, EXCEPT Jon Hall and John Pryor. Four of the names are only spoken once, which is understandable, even though there were two Martins, two Manns, two Wards and two Greens (Greene).
