This week, Preston catches up with Steven Bardin, who appeared as a guest in Episode 261 a little over a year ago. They catch up on what has happened since that previous episode, including the launch of Steven's Reel Biology podcast. They also spend a lot of time taking a deep dive and previewing the upcoming 2025 Black Bass Symposium that will be held in conjunction with the AFS meeting in San Antonio, Texas. We hope that you enjoy this episode!

Main point: "Be observant."
