How old is the biggest bass you've ever caught?

If you fish Lake Ontario or the St. Lawrence River, the answer might surprise you. In this episode of Doc Talks Fishing, Dr. Connor Elliott from Queen's University reveals that some tournament-caught smallmouth in this world-class fishery are more than 21 years old - fish that have been growing, surviving and feeding for over two decades.

Using data from tournament mortalities, Connor explains why smallmouth here are outgrowing largemouth, and how round gobies have created a smallmouth "super-factory" of growth. But when tournaments consistently target the largest and oldest fish in the system, what does that mean for the future?

It's an eye-opening look at the hidden biology of tournament bass — and what anglers, organizers and scientists can do to ensure these giants continue swimming for decades to come.
