I'd say knowledge is growing fast. There are a bunch of us that didn't know how to properly hold a fish or care for a fish. Lots of additives from Mt. Dew to Please Release Me are being used by most now.
I'd like to see a livewell system that has a cooling line run through it and it has a misting spray at the bow and stern for the anglers to cool off when that want to (fresh water of course).
Another thing is SUN protection from buffs to gloves so you don't have to put on sunscreen 5 times a day.
you know, nothing wrong with seven men who met on the internet going for a swim together

I hope you're just unsuccessfully trying to be funny with your statement that high school kids asking for freebies is the fastest growing part of bass fishing.
I'm gonna stand up for the kids and say that you are flat out wrong!
I've had the privalege of interacting with hundreds of teams from several different states at weigh ins and have not witnessed that at all. They are there for the competition first and foremost and are very respectable in their actions and the way they conduct themselves from what I've witnessed first hand.
To the original posted question.
I think high school fishing participation is the fastest growing part of bass fishing and is also the best thing to happen to bass fishing in the twenty five years that I've been fishing bass tournaments.

Not sure if the op is looking for a "serious" answer, but the answer -- depending on how you define "growing" -- is nothing is fast-growing maybe EXCEPT the college and HS scenes, but those are newer and really look like they are "growing" more than they are. Still, most everything in bassin' is healthy, which is good....

One aspect that is growing faster and part of the Bass fishing industry is more low water lake levels and the price of boat ramp fees sky rocketing. If they go much higher in the DFW area Obama is going to want to take credit for it.

Definitely the high school fishing teams. It can be seen with the large corporations getting on board. I don't think Skeeter, Lews, Costa and the likes would jump in head first without seeing the importance.

from what I've seen, Power poles.
"..The pleasantist angling is to see the fish
Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

Youtube and other social media fishing videos. As quality waterproof video cameras have become more affordable and simple to operate, there will be more and more of this.

Have to agree with you here 1442, Fouz, don't rain on these boy's for a couple bad apples! I can think of about a few hundred things worse these boy's could be doing besides fishing.
