A few changes are in store for this year! First off, Bass Pro Shops will be the title sponsor of one of collegiate bass fishing’s largest events. The event has always been an angler favorite and continues to showcase the fantastic spring fishing opportunities on Kentucky Lake not only to the collegiate anglers fishing the event but also to the fans of fishing as they watch the national coverage Live from the event.
Second, this will be a no entry fee event that features a big bass format that rewards not only the biggest catch of the day but numerous other catches on rotating hourly basis that will result in over $30,000 in total prizes being on the line when combing all the prizes and contingency opportunities available.
Third, the event will also be a key event in the Bass Pro Shops School of the Year presented by Abu Garcia race with schools earning valuable points towards standings based on their catches. This year there will be a large amount of school of the year points on the line to include daily bonus points, session bonus points as well as overall double bonus points to top finishers.
The competition takes place March 9-10, with the onsite angler check-in/registration, dinner, and pre-tournament meeting to be held Friday, March 8 at the Henry County Fairgrounds.
“This is always one of the most anticipated and largest turnouts every year in college fishing. This year’s event promises to be the biggest event ever as we’ll be announcing several new ties and twists to the event in the coming weeks,” said Wade Middleton, Director of Association of Collegiate Anglers.
