If you have a passion for freshwater fish, especially the mighty Murray Cod… this is a MUST LISTEN episode! I was lucky enough to talk to Matt Hansen who has an incredible passion for protecting our native fish and their habitat. He has a drive to do good in this world and we need more people like Matt.
In this episode we talk all about the impacts facing our native fish, and just how bad the situation is. Matt also shares his back story and how both the Inland Waterways Rejuvenation Association (IWRA) and the Burrendong Classic started.
Matt’s message needs to be shared and heard by every freshwater angler. Please listen to this entire episode… put it on during a long car drive and share it with all your friends.
