Beyond The Cover: Is the World-Record Largemouth Bass Window Closing?

In this eye-opening interview, In-Fisherman editor-in-chief Cory Schmidt sits down with Steve Quinn, a longtime writer and editor at In-Fisherman and a leading researcher on giant largemouth bass, to unpack his latest article claiming the window is closing on a potential new all-tackle world record (currently tied at 22 pounds, 4 ounces by George Perry in 1932 and Manabu Kurita in Japan in 2009).

Plus, Steve's personal passion for these fish, why fewer anglers chase trophies full-time these days, and the most realistic spots right now for a legit shot at a double-digit or teener bass, including whether Florida's remote waters are still worth the adventure.

If you're obsessed with trophy bass, genetics, forage management, or just want to know where to go next — this is the episode for you.
