Bass Statistics
Statistical inference and insight for bass fishing and life.
Here’s your place for Bass fishing statistics. If you’re a competition angler then I know you want to know the stats. Who’s caught the best five fish, who’s got the biggest overall bag, who’s caught the biggest fish? And for the season: who’s got most points, the most wins? There’s no end to stats of interest. But the bigger questions are who’s going to win the next competition? Who’s going to win AOY? Who’s the best angler? And how do I fish as well as him? This is taking statistics to the next level.

Understand inferential statistics and it won’t just help you understand fishing better and be a better angler, but will help you make better decisions in all aspects of life.
