363 - Tennessee vs Alabama (Bass) with Tom Miles and Cole Harty

This week, Preston sits down with Tennessee Tech's Tom Miles and TWRA's Cole Harty to discuss the ongoing battle between Tennessee and Alabama. We aren't talking about football, but instead the invasive Alabama Bass and how it is impacting Tennessee's black bass fisheries. From competition issues to hybridization impacts, this nonnative species is a serious cause for concern for black bass managers and anglers in Tennessee and throughout most of the southeast.
