Its Butch Brown. That is right. Never heard of him? He does not talk smack on social media. Does not use Live Scope. He was fairly quietly caught over 1,500 DD's. 13lbers? He has over 100. Big five fish limit? Try 65lbs for 5 fish. Big fish for him? Over 19lbs. Other than maybe the late great Bill Murphy (you can see his strong influence in Brown) there is no one who can compare. And everyone just wants to talk about an okie with a pony tail... I think that is just fine with Butch. Tell me I am wrong? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2022-05-09/bass-fishing-butch-brown

There’s a few old timers in Zapata, Tx with decades on Falcon and Sugar that’d probably shock you as to the number of DD’s under their belts.

Butch Brown is the GOAT of smaller Cali lakes that have huge fish that were trout eaters. 100% he is

With this headline I thought we would be discussing Doug Hannon... He was good at making movies and talking. But I dont think he ever got close to what Butch has accomplished.

He put that huge Deps Slide swimmer swimbait on the map, that’s for sure (Huddlestons too). I watched the YouTube video this weekend, good stuff.
