This week, Preston sits down with Jeremy Risley and Eric Naas from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission's Black Bass Program. They highlight many of the important projects that the Black Bass Program conducts and their innovative process to formulate their statewide Reservoir Black Bass Management Plan. They also discuss the immense excitement that is building for the upcoming Legacy Lunker Program. We hope that you enjoy this episode!

Main point: "Your fishing stories are immensely valuable and remember to let voices be heard to build stronger relationships."
