The Big Shanty Bassmasters was originally established in 1975 in Kennesaw, GA. It was one of the most well-known clubs in the Kennesaw / Marietta GA area. In the summer of 2009, due to declining membership because of the weakening economy, the club dissolved.
 

In the Spring of 2016, a few of the old members got together and decided to revive the club, with the main focus being on fun, fellowship, and more than just fishing. We are committed to getting our youth involved in the growing sport of bass fishing, being good conservationists in keeping our lakes and rivers pollution-free, and helping our fisheries thrive by being involved in fish habitat projects.
 

We are also active in our community by hosting one benefit tournament a year.
