• The invasive horde – South Carolina's black bass battle (bassmaster.com) — Lake Wylie is highlighted as an early warning sign of how illegally introduced Alabama bass can quickly overrun native largemouth and other black bass across South Carolina's lakes. State biologists describe rapid hybridization, long-term threats to prized fisheries, and why anglers should avoid moving fish between waters while supporting efforts to keep Alabama bass numbers in check.
