Episode 21: The Spawn - Part 1

In Episode 21, we kick off a two-part deep dive into the most critical period of a bass's life: The Spawn. While most anglers focus on finding beds, Episode 21 focuses on the incredible internal transformation that dictates every move a bass makes during the spring. We break down the anatomy and physiology that drive the reproductive cycle, from the microscopic level to the physical toll it takes on the fish. By understanding the biological "why" behind the spawn, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for the resilience of the species and a more scientific approach to targeting (and protecting) largemouth bass during their most vulnerable state.
