Host Trey Reid talks with Arkansas Game and Fish Commission fisheries staff Eric Naas and Will Lancett about the first year of Arkansas?s Legacy Lunker program after the donation period ended March 31. They report 19 qualifying bass donations, with fish coming from several waters including DeGray, Lake Austell, Lower White Oak, and Ouachita. They also discuss unusual double-catch stories, minimal false alarms, and strong public support on social media. The donated fish are now spawning at the Joe Hogan hatchery using temperature/light control and spawning mats, with fry being raised at the hatchery then stocked as 2?3 inch fingerlings back into the lunkers home lakes. Preliminary genetics show many fish are mixed Florida and largemouth, and they note growth to 10 pounds can range from about 5?6 years in renovated lakes to 10 ? 12+ years in older reservoirs.
