In August 2025, FCF, the American Fisheries Society, and Texas Parks and Wildlife will co-host Black Bass 2025 in San Antonio Texas in conjunction with the annual AFS meeting. This symposium will focus on assessing the state of the science, discussing ideas for improving management and conservation, identifying current and potential issues, and facilitating new partnerships to address those issues.

One of the primary objectives of Black Bass 2025 (BB2025) is to extend its reach beyond the scientific community and engage a diverse array of stakeholders who are invested in the future health of largemouth, smallmouth, and other black bass species. Anglers and industry representatives possess valuable insights and perspectives that are essential for developing innovative approaches to bass conservation and management. By incorporating these viewpoints, BB2025 aims to foster a collaborative environment that enhances the sustainability and vitality of these important fish populations.
