In the latest episode of On the Dock with Rick Smith, listeners were introduced to Hector Lopez, owner and operator of All-Starr Fishing. Founded in 2021, the organization began with just a small group of anglers and has steadily grown in both participation and visibility.

All-Starr Fishing hosts regular kayak-based bass tournaments, focusing on both largemouth and smallmouth bass. With kayaks offering a more affordable alternative to traditional boats, the sport has seen increased interest across Central Texas. Lopez shared that the group is working to expand its reach, with a particular focus on encouraging more Veterans and women to join future events.

Tournament results are tracked using a specialized app that helps measure catches and determine winners efficiently. The group maintains an active presence on social media, where updates and event details can be found on their Facebook group, AllStarrFishing.

The episode highlighted the grassroots growth of the organization and its commitment to inclusivity and community engagement through outdoor recreation.
