A new season of the Pond Wars bass fishing competition, presented by Realtree Fishing and featuring some of the sport's top pros, has launched at Realtree.com, Realtree365 and the Realtree YouTube channel.
The event, which was held in March at Live Oak Plantation in Adel, Ga., paired some of the world’s best bass anglers with outdoor personalities and influencers.
This year’s edition was expanded to include a two-day fishing format coupled with surprise, off-the-water challenges like golf and archery. Pond Wars II was hosted by country music star Jon Langston. Pro anglers including Dustin Connell, Casey Ashley, Mark Daniels Jr., Mark Rose, Jacob Wheeler and Justin Atkins were paired with hunting personalities like Seek One’s Lee Ellis and Drew Carroll, Head Hunters TV’s Nate Hosie, Black Cloud’s Dennis Loosier and Billy Campbell, and Realtree’s Michael Pitts.
Rules for Pond Wars competitors are simple: follow all DNR laws, weigh and record all catches on the Fishing Chaos app and be back to the dock on time. The team with the heaviest five-fish limits, combined after the two fishing periods, is crowned champion.
