Athlete of the Week: Logan Greeno, president of the Husker Bass Anglers

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Logan Greeno is a Junior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the president of the Husker Bass Anglers.

Greeno helped the club win the 2025 sports club of the year award at UNL.

At a young age, Greeno fell in love with fishing. A passion stirred by his late father and grandfather.

“You know, growing up I did a lot of Walleye fishing out west with my grandpa,” said Greeno. “As I got older, I started fishing more public lakes in my hometown of Kearney. My Dad would take me often when I was younger and that’s really where I fell in love with Bass fishing.” 

At UNL, Greeno has helped grow the Bass Anglers from 20 members to now having around 80.

The club competes around the country in large fishing events.

“We traveled to pretty much every tournament we could,” said Greeno. “Florida, Texas, South Carolina, far drives, we burn a lot of gas. Having support through local businesses and fundraising throughout our club is the only way we’re able to do it. It’s super expensive to travel and compete competitively, but it’s what we love to do. We’ve probably hit more tournaments this year then we have in the last two combined. Its been good, we’ve been all over the place and had some good finishes.”

Along with the club, Greeno has also started his own organization and business.

Casting to Make a Difference was created to help young anglers find their love of the outdoors with a mentor who can teach them tips and tricks of the trade.

“Casting to Make a Difference is getting these experienced guys to become mentors,” said Greeno. “When it comes to fishing for some of these kids, they might not have that figure in their life to get them started.”

Greeno also started his own business called “Revived Bait Co.,” which aims to create baits from 100% recycled soft plastics.

Whether you’re brand new to the sport of fishing, or an experienced veteran, Greeno’s advice is to just get out and fish.

“Get out in the outdoors, even if you are just throwing a bobber and a worm,” said Greeno. “Fishing is just so much fun and I would definitely recommend it if anyone hasn’t done it. Go get a license and go out and have a blast fishing on the water.”
