Quote from Drew Sanford, presdient:
"I am an avid fisherman and last spring I was watching Fox Sports Network and saw the Collegiate National Championship and I knew that it was something I needed to be a part of. Our club is doing many community activities to get new fishermen and women involved in the sport. There are over 150 new college bass clubs across the country and it is neat being able to compete against schools outside of typical division such as D1 and D2."
