Leech is far from the great unknown, however, at least to bass anglers here on the fringe of America’s Midwest.

There’s something to be said for a long-time fishing pro who has stuck with it through the bad times and the good.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
