This week, Preston chats with Dr. Mike Bednarski, who is the Chief of Fisheries for the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources (VDWR). Mike compares and contrasts the infamous "big three" invasive freshwater fishes that are hot topics of conversation in Virginia. They also discuss Mike's career arc, as well as some of the threats facing the future of fishing and fisheries management and a few recent "wins" for the VDWR. Finally, they chat about the economic importance of recreational fishing and the careful art of balancing multiple stakeholder groups when it comes to management decisions.
