Ep 126: Bartram’s Bass and the Black Bass Slam, with Will Mundhenke
Will Mundhenke is a State Naturalist with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, Chair with the South Carolina Native Fish Coalition, and leads multiple programs through the state to get new anglers introduced to their plentiful fisheries. In this episode, Will fills me in on the Bartram’s bass, a beautiful bass native to South Carolina. We also talk about the Black Bass Slam, a challenge to catch all four species of bass in the state, which is a great opportunity to see the diverse habitats that support fishing around South Carolina.
A note from Will regarding his use of the terms “spotted bass” and “Alabama bass” in the episode:
"According to the South Carolina Hunting and Fishing Laws and Regulations Guide, the four black bass species in the state officially include the Spotted Bass. However, the agency is conducting genetic research to determine whether or not this is in fact an Alabama Bass instead of the previously named Spotted Bass."
