Description

In this episode, I sit down with fisheries biologist Garrett Stamport from Prestine Pond Management, a graduate of Texas A&M University, to tackle one of the most controversial topics in the bass fishing community—aquatic vegetation spraying.


Do bass really need grass to survive? Does killing vegetation affect their behavior, the bite, and overall fish health? And does spraying actually kill bass—or is the truth more complicated? Garrett brings the science, the experience, and the facts to clear the water on this heated debate.


If you’ve ever wondered how lake management practices impact your fishing, this is the conversation you don’t want to miss
