The Army Bass Anglers is the brainchild of a grad school assignment. In 2004, Cody Roberson wrote a graduate paper on the fishing industry and the lack of programs in the entire outdoor space for service members. His professor agreed and urged him to roll with it. Nearly 20 years later, Army Bass Anglers has grown into multiple organizations and hosts major charity events dedicated to supporting fellow service members across the outdoors community.
The Army Bass Anglers, Army Redfish Anglers, Army Buck Hunters, Army Hog Hunters & Army Duck Hunters utilize their fishing and hunting skills to raise awareness and generate support for noteworthy charitable causes and events. The organizations are dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the (8) Grade A Task Force Non-Profits: Folds of Honor, Returning Heroes Home, Heroes on the Water, Patriot Sporting Challenge, Fishing for Freedom, Fishing with Legends, Trinity Oaks, and Warrior Canine Connection.
Annually, the Army Bass Anglers hosts a bracket-style national fishing tournament for veterans and active-duty soldiers from all five branches of the US Armed Forces on their signature TV show Force on Force on the World Fishing Network to declare a Military National Champion.
The organizations are comprised mostly of active-duty soldiers, who volunteer their time to these projects. The Army Bass Anglers associations are unique in using their military backgrounds to create a “take care of each other” mentality. “Each member has a 'battle buddy' that he/she operates with within the outdoors space,” says Cody Roberson. “When one member can’t support the mission the other 'rucks up' and carries the load for both, this is by design and is ingrained in all our military training.”
In addition to their dozens of other projects, the Army Bass Anglers organizations have 48 nationwide contracts, including constructing pop-up BB Gun ranges and fishing fish tanks at every major fishing and hunting show for kids.

Leveraging their military backgrounds and passion for the outdoors, they foster connections and a sense of purpose. “I can’t begin to tell you how many members have said this organization has saved their life,” says Shawn Dalrymple. “We provided invaluable support to both our non-profits and members.
