Hunting, fishing, and living off the land, aren't just things we do, it's who we are. And though our lives are inextricably linked to the land we live on, we've never been more disconnected from it. So join us, as we travel across the region to bring you the voices of the Ozarks to deepen your connection with the land, sharpen your skills in the outdoors, and help you learn what it means to be an Ozarker. Our guests and the information they share are especially relevant to men and women in northern Arkansas, southern Missouri, eastern Oklahoma, and southeast Kansas.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-24T20:20:28.282847+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ozark-podcast-4768900"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 208 - Neosho Bass Will Change Ozark Smallmouth Fishing Forever (Here’s How) with Jeremy Risley & Eric Naas of AGFC","slug":"ep-208-neosho-bass-will-change-ozark-smallmouth-fishing-forever-here-s-how-with-jeremy-risley-eric-naas-of-agfc","published_at":"2026-03-18T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ozark-podcast-4768900/ep-208-neosho-bass-will-change-ozark-smallmouth-fishing-forever-here-s-how-with-jeremy-risley-eric-naas-of-agfc","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-ozark-podcast-4768900","url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TSOL5434781945.mp3?updated=1773772332","audio_url":"https://traffic.megaphone.fm/TSOL5434781945.mp3?updated=1773772332","summary":"The Neosho Bass research is finally here, how will it affect regulations? → ⁠⁠Download your free Neosho Bass Field Guide⁠⁠ → ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join other Ozarkers on our Patreon - The Holler⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ In this episode, Jeremy Risley and Eric Naas of Arkansas Game & Fish Commission break down how the brand-new genetic research of the Neosho Bass will affect state-wide (and perhaps even region-wide) regulations.
