McKenzie, Tenn.–Bethel University’s bass fishing team – which is widely regarded as one of the best college fishing teams in the nation—has once again taken over the lead in the season-long quest to be crowned the best fishing team in the United States. The team is in quest of its first Cabela’s School of the Year title.
Holding on to 2nd place is Northwestern State University, who is staying steady with consistent fishing; and moving from 1st place to 3rd place is Louisiana State University-Shreveport.
“Once again, we here at Bethel University, find ourselves sitting in the number one spot for Cabela’s School of the Year. We are very proud of this achievement as it personifies the hard work and dedication of not only our anglers, but of our whole University, in their great support of all our fishing endeavors,” said Garry Mason, Bethel University Fishing Team Coach. Mason lives in Springville in Henry Co. “To win the school of the year award this season would be a great honor and we know that we have a long way to go to capture the title for Bethel.”
This year’s race for Cabela’s School of the Year has turned to be one of the biggest and hardest one to win thanks in large part to a new points system designed to provide more points earning opportunities than ever before for college anglers nationwide.
