0:00
talk to us about uh this latest craze uh
0:04
or Trend or what it is that you're
0:06
messaging that's a little bit different
0:08
than your previous whatever number of
0:11
years you've been involved many years of
0:13
catch release then all of a sudden
0:16
change yeah absolutely uh you know it's
0:19
taken decades to come to this
0:23
perspective nice and what the shift is
0:27

mentality may have on your Fisheries

0:46

0:49
Largemouth fishing opportunities on our
0:51
public lakes and one of them is under
0:54
Harvest and as a culture and I don't

1:26
narratives uh in the hopes that it's
1:29
going to continue to perpetuate fishing
1:32
opportunities uh and it's it's really
1:35
resulting in a slew of stunted bass
1:40
populations throughout the country and
