In 1974 the Wolf River Hawg Hunters fishing club was established, based in Clintonville Wisconsin. In 1980 the Hawg Hunters moved to Shawano Wisconsin and the Shawano Bass Masters were established. Starting with a handful of members, grew through the years to a membership as high as 30 active members.
Shawano Bass Masters have had three more clubs branch off from our members, the Shawano Pond Pounders, the Suring Bass Masters, and the Shawano Rednek Bass Busters. Currently we maintain a 20 member cap for our club and are presently at 17 active members.
