JP DeRose Breaking Boundaries

With winter in full effect around JP's home, he decides to defect from the frigid temps and head South to hook up with MLF pro Kevin Short to try his hand at some wintertime Largemouth Bass fishing. Spending the day on Lake Dardanelle, Kevin focuses on suspending Jerkbaits and finding cleaner water to help put the pieces of the puzzle together during a fairly severe cold front. kwbass
