[Fishing] Bryan Fishing Wins On Chickamauga For Second Straight Year!
DAYTON, Tenn. – Two ounces is all that stood between first and second place at the 2018 YETI FLW College Fishing event held at Lake Chickamauga presented by Bass Pro Shops on Saturday, May 5. With a five-fish limit of 21.9lbs, the duo of Nathan Bell (SR/Riceville, Tenn.) and Cole Sands (JR/Calhoun, Tenn.) captured first place in a field of 136 boats and the grand prize of $2,400, marking the second straight year that Bryan College has been victorious in the FLW Southeastern Conference event held on their own lake. The tournament, hosted by the Rhea Economics & Tourism Council, was the third and final regular-season event for anglers in the Southeastern Conference and was also their last shot at locking in a spot for the 2019 FLW College Fishing National Championship. Trailing Bell and Sands was Hunter Hanks and Scout Monteith from Lipscomb University with a total weight of 21.7lbs. Third place was Auburn University's Lucas Lindsay and Logan Parks, bagging five fish weighing 20.1lbs. Saxton Long and Jordan Burdette from University of Tennessee (19.1lbs) and Dakota Guzman and Zane Loveday from Calhoun Community College (18.13lbs) rounded out the top-five. The pair from Lipscomb took home $1,200, while the next three boats were each awarded $500.
