Shannon Twin Spinner in 1915 and was improved to create today's
spinner baits.
* In 1932, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the
creation of Tennessee Valley Authority and encouraged the

Fish
Several fish species that are being caught in the bass fishing
events are the following:
* Micropterus salmoides (Lacepede) - Largemouth Bass *
Micropterus dolomieui - Smallmouth bass * Micropterus punctatus
- Kentucky Bass
Other species of Micropterus are also caught but one that
remains popular is the Largemouth bass. However, it should be
emphasized that Australian Bass are different from the above
North American Bass variants although most share similar
features.
Perhaps, the most robust success of Bass Fishing was in the
1950s. The popularity of the game during this period is the
springboard to the development of modern fishing equipments from
bass boats, rods, lines, lures and various fishing gears.
Electronic gears were also incorporated among the host of
equipments bass fishers used at that time. Reels of different
types, which function in hauling and hoisting, were also
created.
The contribution of bass fishing industry to the US economy
records $50 to $70 Billion and the number continues to grow.
Statistics show that the audience base of this sport is
increasing and that more and more people are getting interested
in it compared to tennis and golf.
