Gene Gilliland joins me on this week's show and we cover a lot of different topics covering how he developed such a passion for fishing, his career as a fisheries biologist in Oklahoma and his current role as the national conservation director for B.A.S.S. We also talk about some of our favorite fishing spots across the country and what it takes these days to get into the conservation field. Be sure to follow everything going on with B.A.S.S. and join their Facebook group, B.A.S.S. Conservation. Be sure to like and subscribe to the podcast and leave a rating and review!
