About this listen

In this episode, we dive into the world of bass fishing with the Bass Angler Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.), the largest fishing organization in the world with over half a million members. Founded in 1968 by Ray Scott, B.A.S.S. has been a driving force behind professional bass fishing, youth involvement, and conservation efforts.I sit down with Gene Gilliland, who is a nationally renowned fisheries biologist and the National Conservation Director at B.A.S.S. to explore key challenges in bass fisheries management, from invasive species and aquatic plant control to the surprising impacts of climate change on bass populations. We discuss the balance between recreational use and habitat preservation, habitat restoration in aging reservoirs, and the importance of angler involvement in protecting our waters.
