Legacy Lunker Program adds 2 more!!
Xpress BoatsAnglers double up on double-digit bass, add Legacy Lunkers two and three to AGFC program
The Riney family is having a week for the record books. Just a few days after Kevin Riney turned in the first official Legacy Lunker of the season, his son Dylan (right) and friend Kyle Lochridge decided to join the party.
Dylan and Kyle joined Kevin for a day of fishing today at Lake Austell in Village Creek State Park, and each angler added their name to the Lunker logbook. Kyle caught the first big fish of the day, a 10.16 lb. beast, at 10 a.m. While waiting on the Legacy Lunker coordinator to arrive, Dylan topped Kyle's mark by hauling in an 11.65 lb. tank at 10:45 a.m.
Jeremy Risley, AGFC Black Bass Program coordinator, said he’s surprised that the first three fish from the program have come from the 85-acre lake along Crowley’s Ridge.
“The lake is pretty small and only allows electric motors, but the AGFC has stocked Florida bass there and managed it as a trophy fishery for years, so it has the potential.”
Both fish were accepted into the program and are at the Joe Hogan State Fish Hatchery in Lonoke. Both anglers will receive replica mounts of their catch and be entered into a drawing later this year for a 21-foot Xpress bass boat and a 250-horsepower Yamaha outboard. The fish will be spawned with TITAN MAXX Florida Bass that have been confirmed by Red Hills Fishery in Georgia to have the genetics to grow large. After spawning, the Legacy Lunkers will be returned to the lakes where they were caught.

Congratulations to Kevin Riney on landing our first official big bass!
While many anglers flock to the famous "trophy" lakes, Kevin decided to try his luck at the 85-acre Lake Austell within Village Creek State Park this past Saturday. It was a move that paid off in a huge way. He set the hook into a massive 12.04-pound largemouth, making history as the very first donation to the state’s new Legacy Lunker program.
In return for his cooperation and donation, Riney will receive a free replica mount of his fish, created by Harper’s Pure Country Taxidermy, and he will also be entered into a drawing later this year for a new 21-foot Xpress Boats outfitted with a 250-horsepower Yamaha valued at more than $75,000. Thank you to our partners to help enrich fishing in the natural state! ... See MoreSee Less
