An avid trout fishermen, Rick Torres, of Albuquerque, actively dove into the trout challenge issued by the New Mexico Department of Game & Fish last summer.
And shortly after completing that by catching one of each of the five trout specimens in the state, Torres found out about the Bass Challenge.
“When I completed the Trout Challenge, it popped up, the Bass Challenge,” said Torres, 43, owner of True Love Tattoo. “My goal was to be No. 1. I’m going to go after this and I hit the road.”

Unlike the trout waters, which he knew pretty well, Torres had to do a bit of digging to find the best spots for bass.
