Doug Hannon the "BASS PROFESSOR" has passed away.
Doug Hannon, a legend in the fishing world known as the “Bass Professor” whose unique expertise in a wide range of design skills and academic subjects in and outside of angling, died Thursday at his home in Keystone, a north Tampa suburb.
Hannon was 66.
"He recently had neck surgery and was recovering at home," said friend Russ Riley, a family spokesman and president of WaveSpin/MicroWave, a fishing components design company Hannon launched eight years ago, and which he served as its chief engineer. It is believed that complications from this surgery led to his passing.
