We also pull back the curtain on the business of fishing, discussing the grind of the content creator lifestyle, what it really takes to grow an audience, and actionable strategies to succeed and stand out in the crowded 2026 fishing media landscape.

In this episode of the Serious Angler Podcast, we sit down with Jason Henegar, Fisheries Division Chief for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), to discuss a growing crisis in our southern fisheries: the invasion of the Alabama Bass. Often illegally transplanted into new waters, these Alabama-strain spotted bass are wreaking havoc on native smallmouth bass populations through rapid hybridization.

Jason breaks down the science behind this alarming trend, explaining how these hybrids (often called "meanmouths") are literally breeding purebred smallmouth out of existence in world-class waters across the Tennessee River system, including Fort Loudon-Tellico and Parksville Lake. We dive deep into what this means for the future of tournament bass fishing, the looming threat to legendary fisheries like Dale Hollow, and the drastic regulation changes the TWRA is implementing to manage the fallout.

Wondering where bass go immediately after the spawn and how to catch them when they are exhausted and finicky? In this episode of Serious Angler, Bassmaster Elite Series pro Sam Hanggi breaks down his exact blueprint for targeting postspawn bass, breaking down his incredible 2nd place finish at Lake Murray.

We dive deep into the postspawn transition, detailing exactly how bass move from their spawning beds to intermediate transition zones, and how the blueback herring spawn completely changes their behavior. Sam reveals his strict elimination process for finding the best docks for bass fishing, including the exact depth, shade angles, and deep-water access points he looks for when skipping docks in the afternoon.

If you want to master postspawn bass fishing on docks and dial in your finesse bait setups for tough summer transitions, this masterclass is for you!
