Bassmaster Elite Series Pro Bill Lowen Joins PiranhO2 Oxygen Enrichment Systems Pro Staff
Two-time Bassmaster Elite Champion to Protect Resources
Brookville, Ind. – May 14, 2025 – Talk to any bass angler, and it won’t take long to realize they are obsessed with the bass. Talk to a person who competes in tournaments and their need for fish to remain live and healthy is vital. For an angler who makes their living on the Bassmaster Elite Series, like Bill Lowen, the need for bass to remain healthy in their livewell can be the difference between making a living and struggling.
Knowing the importance of healthy bass, Lowen has long worked to ensure the wellbeing of his quarry. Now, with his addition to the PiranhO2 Oxygen Enrichment Systems pro staff, he has taken fish care to a new level. Lowen added the Original PiranhO2 Oxygen Enhancement System in his Xpress XR21 and is excited about the added benefits that the system will provide for his catch.
To Lowen, his decision to work with the company is more significant than protecting his catch for earnings. “Yes, I make my living by putting the right fish in my livewells and getting them to weigh-in safely, but this is about more than my income,” he said. “I want to make sure that I’m a part of passing on not only my love of the outdoors to the next generation, and caring for the resources is a big part of that.”
He said the install was easy and allows for use in multiple vessels. “We just drilled a small hole in the wall for the hose to go through with the stone on the inside of the livewell and wired it up,” he said. “It’s a self-contained unit that wires in to my battery and pumps oxygen into the water; I can easily move int into a different boat if needed. It’s a great product that helps me and our resources and I’m proud to represent a company like Piranh02.”
For the General Manager of PiranhO2 Oxygen Enrichment System Joseph M. Krawczyk II, Lowen represented the type of angler they respect. “PiranhO2 is happy to announce the addition of Bill Lowen to our PiranhO2family,” said Krawczyk. “His reputation for professionalism, integrity and conservation aligns PERFECTLY with our mission of advancing the care of our resources.”
He also talked about specific technology Lowen would be using and promoting. “Bill is partnering with our oxygen concentrator technology, which incorporates a high-purity, medical-grade oxygen to better preserve fish health throughout the entire tournament day,” he reported. “This ensures zero weight-loss due to stressed or dying fish, better injury recovery rates, energy replenishment, and a much livelier fish, while also supporting our mutual goal of 100-percent responsible live release to help anglers perform at their best while also protecting this critical resource for future generations to appreciate.
“We are ecstatic to welcome Bill to the PiranhO2 team, and we look forward to driving innovation in livewell oxygenation together, setting a new industry standard for the care of tournament fish,” he concluded.
