Mitchell Gowen and teammate Brianna Tucker of the Decatur Heritage Christian Academy (DHCA) Eagles will be fishing in the first B.A.S.S. High School Exposition. This will not be the first, “first” for this experienced duo. Fishing with the DHCA Fishing Eagles bass fishing team, they placed
first in the first Bassmaster high school tournament on Wheeler Lake. That win earned them the trip to the Classic. Their boat captain is Don Brown.
Southern Fishing News field reporter Don Gowen will be filing a series of reports on this championship team from the Bassmaster Classic High School Exposition at Lay Lake. He will get answers from the pair with an interview before they head south to Birmingham and Lay Lake for their practice days. Gowen will track the high school champs with a camera during their practice on Lay and get another follow-up chat after a day on the water. Finally, we will have an opportunity to talk with Mitchell and Brianna after they fish in the Classic Exposition and appear on the Bassmaster Classic stage.
