The nation’s top collegiate bass-fishing anglers competed last week at the YETI FLW College Fishing National Championship in Charles County, Maryland on the Potomac River.
One team from Tennessee Tech University, Casey Taylor of Smithville and Tyler Thompson of Philadelphia, Tennessee was among the 155 teams competing in the event.
The 2019 YETI FLW College Fishing National Championship was comprised of the top qualifying teams from 15 regular-season tournaments around the country, along with the top 20 teams from the annual FLW College Fishing Open.
As of day two, the team of Taylor and Thompson ranked 18th place with a 27-13 total and 10 fish.
Anglers in the no-entry-fee tournament competed for a prize package that included a new Ranger Z175 boat with a 115-horsepower Mercury or Evinrude outboard and an automatic qualification to move on to compete against the best bass-anglers in the world at the 2019 FLW Cup, this August at Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
