Austin Yeager of the Splendora High School Bass Fishing Team is the overall winner of the 2022 St. Croix and Texas Fish & Game Conservation Challenge
Yeager took part in several of the seven total challenges and extended his conservation efforts to not only bass fishing but catch-and-release of alligator garfish.
St. Croix and Texas Fish & Game in Jan. 2022 collaborated on behalf of youth and incentivized conservation activism among Texas high school bass fishing competitors.
“We believe this tech-savvy generation can do great things for fisheries and conservation. We have partnered with Texas Fish & Game to create the Texas High School Bass Conservation Challenge, which will be a fun way for students to promote conservation as well as win some great prizes,” said Jesse Simpkins, Vice President of Marketing at St. Croix.
St. Croix and Texas Fish & Game sent seven different challenges to high school bass team sponsors throughout the state during the spring semester.
Individual challenge winners got their choice of a Bass X rod from St. Croix.
