The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission is warning anglers about an invasive fish that is being found across the state. The commission announced in April the Alabama bass are “now in more rivers and lakes than ever before.” Alabama bass were first found in Lake Norman and Lake Chatuge in the 1980s. They slowly started spreading to the Piedmont and were found in the coastal areas earlier this year. Kin Hodges, Fisheries Biologist for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the Alabama bass.
