From a baby bass in a freshly stocked pond to a bluegill-devouring adult, TikTok has watched Gus the bass grow and develop through the eyes of 19-year-old influencer Michael Wiebelhaus.⁠ ⁠ Wiebelhaus, a freshman at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, caught the now-famous bass last year in a friend's backyard pond and deposited him in a 50-gallon tank.⁠ ⁠ After Wiebelhaus brought the fish home and transferred it to the tank, he started documenting the fish's life.⁠ ⁠ "I was recording everything because I like having videos to look back on," Wiebelhaus said. "I just decided to post them on TikTok one day for fun, not expecting it to blow up and, a couple videos later, one went off real big. After that, slowly, followers started growing."⁠ ⁠ Wiebelhaus started his fishing account, wiebelhaus_fishing, in 2020, and it now has more than 1.5 million followers. The Gus the bass account, gus_the_bass has just more than 800,000 followers.⁠ ⁠ 🔗: Read more at the link in our bio. ⁠ ⁠ ✏: Lauren P...
