What to Expect from The CAST Season 2

Following its wildly popular debut, The CAST presented by Bass Pro Shops is back for a second season, premiering January 4, 2025, on FS1. Based on my personal bass geek opinion of last year’s efforts, this is going to be a must-watch series diving deep into the history of professional bass fishing and celebrating the legends who made the sport great.

“The series features so much historical content about the sport and the legends who brought it to the forefront,” said Phillip Johnson, B.A.S.S. COO. “it’s full of entertaining and nostalgic insight into how an idea transformed into what professional fishing is today.”
