Legacy Lunker Awards Banquet to Celebrate Bass Fishing in The Natural State Oct. 29
The inaugural year of the Arkansas Legacy Lunker program has been a rousing success, but there’s one more detail left to complete before the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission wraps a bow on year one and begins preparing for year two. The inaugural Legacy Lunker Awards Banquet will be held at 6 p.m. Oct. 29 at the North Little Rock Event Center, where one of 17 anglers to turn in a Legacy Lunker from January-March will be drawn to receive a 21-foot Xpress boat courtesy of Xpress Boats of Hot Springs.
Tickets for the event are $50, and they include a dinner, presentations and beverages on-site. Anyone interested in attending can purchase tickets through a link at www.agfc.com/legacylunker. Deke Whitbeck, president of the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation, which is presenting the event, says a few opportunities also still remain to reserve or sponsor an entire table at this inaugural event that’s sure to be a mainstay in Arkansas’s bass-fishing community.
In addition to free entry into the banquet and a chance at a bass boat valued at more than $75,000, all anglers who donated their 10-pound-or-larger bass during the program period will also receive a free replica mount courtesy of Harper’s Pure Country Taxidermy of Mountain Home and the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation.
The event is much more than a celebration of these lucky anglers; it’s a showcase for bass fishing and a new era of trophy bass management in The Natural State. AGFC Black Bass Program Coordinator Jeremy Risley and the rest of the AGFC’s Black Bass Program team will be on hand to talk one-on-one with everyone in attendance, and Risley will have updates on the results of this year’s inaugural season of the Arkansas Legacy Lunker program.
