Bass Wars: A Story of Fishing, Fame and Fortune

Ray Scott founded the Bass Angler Sportsman Society (B.A.S.S.) and launched a series of tournaments that created a new brand of sports hero: the professional bass fisherman. Roland Martin and Rick Clunn won big tournaments and grew into legends. They inspired countless anglers who dreamed of fishing their way to fame and fortune.

BASS WARS vividly describes the beginnings of B.A.S.S. as it follows Clunn, his top rivals, and two of the young dreamers, Randy Blaukat and Randy Moseley, during one grueling and fascinating year in the high-stakes, high-pressure sport of big-league bass fishing. Bass anglers and fishing fans alike consider it a classic.

Why Bass Anglers Love This Book

The book documents real tournaments, real rivalries, and the authentic experiences of anglers who transformed bass fishing from a hobby into a professional sport. Roland Martin and Rick Clunn's stories provide insight into the dedication and strategy required to compete at the highest levels of bass angling.

The narrative follows multiple perspectives throughout a single competitive season, giving readers an insider's view of tournament preparation, on-water tactics, and the personal sacrifices these professional fishermen made pursuing their dreams. Randy Blaukat and Randy Moseley represent the next generation of anglers fighting to break into the elite ranks of B.A.S.S. competition.
