357 | Upper Chesapeake Bay Bass Fishing Breakdown: History, Tournaments & Youth Fishing with Jerry Hodge

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, we’re joined by tournament hammer and youth fishing advocate Jerry Hodge! Fresh off a big win on the Upper Chesapeake Bay with the Chester County Bassmasters, Jerry breaks down what went into his tournament success and shares the untold history of the Upper Bay fishery.

As the President of the Upper Bay Bassin Youth Program and the Maryland State High School/Jr. Bass Tournament Director, Jerry also dives deep into the explosive growth of youth bass fishing in Maryland, the challenges young anglers face, and how the sport is changing lives across the region.

If you’re passionate about tournament fishing, youth development, or just want to learn more about one of the East Coast’s premier bass fisheries, this is an episode you don’t want to miss!
