McKenzie, Tenn.—May is set to begin and with that comes the fast-approaching final showdown for the most prestigious title in college fishing. Who will claim the 2017-2018 Cabela’s School of the Year presented by Abu Garcia title? This season, the college fishing world has progressively become more and more competitive, but one constant has remained – fishing as many events is key and fishing consistently is even more important.
The ACA’s Cabela’s School of the Year presented by Abu Garcia was the first program of its kind to rank teams across all collegiate bass fishing circuits and provide the first national collegiate fishing rankings. The program exemplifies the constant growth in collegiate bass fishing, with over 260 teams earning points so far in 2018.
Out of the last seven sanctioned events, Bethel University only fished one, taking third place at the B.A.S.S Southern event on Pickwick Lake this past weekend. The team of Joe McClosky and John-Austin Welch brought in a three-day total of 52.90lbs to take third and ultimately helping Bethel University to pull away from the group. Bethel University has remained a prominent competitor this season, making sure to send teams to all the major ACA, FLW, and B.A.S.S events to ensure that their school had the best opportunity to capture the Cabela’s School of the Year title. They’ve come close before, and this season proves to have been a turning point for the ever-growing Bethel University bass fishing team.
