Ever wondered which fish Americans chase the most?
You might guess bass… and you’d be right — but not by much. About three percent of Americans fish for bass each year.
But trout, catfish, and even panfish like bluegill aren’t far behind. Each group draws around two to three percent of the entire U.S. population. That’s millions of people catching bluegill off docks and catfish from muddy banks — far more than chase redfish or salmon.
So what does that say about who we are as anglers? The real surprise is that panfish and catfish together rival bass in total participation.
Turns out, the everyday worm-and-bobber anglers are what keep fishing alive in America.
