Lewisville Lake to host college fishing championship May 28-29

More than 120 teams representing 63 colleges and universities from 26 states have registered for the fourth BoatUS National Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship, which will return to Lewisville Lake on May 28-29 as two-person teams contend for the 2009 title and thousands of dollars in scholarship money.

This year's event caps a five-event season of televised Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA) tournaments that began on December at Lake Sam Rayburn and ends May 16 with an event in Tennessee. The championship event also will be televised on FOX College Sports and other related networks.

Unlike in previous years, the 2009 championship will be a two-day event with all entrants competing both days, meaning every two-person team is still in the title chase until the final weigh-in is recorded. Registration will continue through May 18 at www.collegiatebasschampionship.com.

More than 100 two-person teams representing 57 colleges from 23 states competed in 2008, with a pair from the University of Arkansas claiming first prize. Bodie Drake, half of that 2008 winning team, returns this year to compete with a new partner.

Previous winners were North Carolina State in 2006 and Texas A&M in 2007. All three previous events have been held at Lewisville Lake, declared by the Texas Legislature and Gov. Rick Perry as the "Urban Bass Fishing Capital of Texas."

Practice days will be Monday through Wednesday, May 25-27, with the competition starting at dawn Thursday. Tournament launches and 3 p.m. Weigh-ins will be held each day at Sneaky Pete's Resort, #2 Eagle Point Marina in Lewisville.
