| "I had competed for Mexico in the world bass championship when it was held in Italy last year, and that's the main reason why Mexico's Federacion Nacional De Pesca Deportiva asked Dago Luna and I to organize the event here, because we knew all about how it had been held in Italy. The record bass on the lake we fished in Italy is 3 kilos (6.6) pounds, and that was caught five years ago, and I don't think anyone last year caught a bass over 4 pounds, and some countries didn't catch too many there. Last year in Italy, it was great, but there were almost no bass caught in that lake, and they were not that big. So it was good to have it in Mexico this year because almost everyone broke their records for bass here. Everybody was really happy. It was the best bass fishing that many of the anglers had ever had. Like once in a lifetime fishing. So after Mexico, what? There's not this kind of good fishing - lots of nice fish and some extremely big ones - anywhere else. Plus Cuchillo is the easiest bass lake to get to in Mexico, from anywhere in the world. Unlike many of the other trophy bass lakes in Mexico, whether El Salto, Baccarac, Huites or Guerrero, they are not near major international airports or big cities. But here you have Monterrey, one hour from Cuchillo. It's one of the most modern, affluent and the very safest city not only in Mexico but it's ranked the safest city in all of Latin America. Monterrey is an astonishingly modern and wealthy city that enjoys one of Mexico's highest standards of living, and the population is more educated and cultured than average. There's lots of things for a tourist to do and see in Monterrey, and there's just no other trophy bass lake in Mexico that can be reached as conveniently as Cuchillo from the USA or anywhere worldwide." |
