Doug Hannon the bass fishing legend has passed. Very few details about his passing are currently available. Doug, a Florida resident, hunted for big bass. He taught the world about the intricacies of big bass and their habits. Doug was an author, inventor, TV host, plus entered into the Fishing Hall of Fame as a Legendary Angler in 2000 having caught over 800 10lb+ Largemouth bass. It is sad to see a lion pass.
