A Visit to “The Rez”
By Dan Dannenmueller, Publisher
Every year CatfishNOW sponsors a media camp to develop content for the selected location tourism activities, sponsors and future how-to videos, reels, articles, etc. This year we gathered at Barnett Reservoir—often known as “The Rez” to locals—in Ridgeland, Mississippi.
It was the biggest media camp we have ever held, with 33 attendees from numerous states and capabilities. Some of the best writers, videographers, crappie and catfish pros, social media experts and drone-fliers attended this fun and super-rewarding event.
