Click on headline for complete story with list of teams by state> By Jordan Alves, CU sports information director CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - College anglers will be fishing for a chance to compete in the 2017 GEICO Bassmaster Classic presented by GoPro when they take on Green River Lake in Campbellsville, KY, July 28-30, in the 2016 Carhartt Bassmaster College Series National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops. The Taylor County Tourist Commission and Campbellsville University are partnering with B.A.S.S. to bring the collegiate national championship to Green River Lake. Campbellsville University will play host to the more than 90 teams expected to compete. "We are excited to take our national championship to central Kentucky," said Bassmaster College Series tournament manager Hank Weldon. "With the support of such a great host and school, we expect this tournament to be the premier event in college fishing." At the national championship, the entire field competes on the first two days. On the third day, the field is trimmed to the Top 12 teams catching the heaviest cumulative five-bass daily limits. "This is a great opportunity for Campbellsville University and our town to be selected as the hosts for this national championship event," said Rusty Hollingsworth, CU director of athletics. "We are excited to welcome the best college anglers from across the country to Green River Lake." No matter what the anglers catch bass on, the tournament is bound to be a good one to watch, said Weldon, tournament director for the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series. "We are so grateful to be having this tournament here in Campbellsville, Ky.," said Alisha Nelson, executive director of Taylor County Tourist Commission. "This week-long event will not only be bringing dollars into our community, but we also hope these anglers and their families will fall in love with our area and come back for future visits." "It's going to be a great event," Weldon said. "Campbellsville University is hosting the tournament, and everyone on the campus has been so welcoming and accommodating. Tommy Hall, the bass fishing coach at Campbellsville, has really been pushing bass fishing at the collegiate level, and the school even has its own bass fishing scholarship program. It's an honor to be there." Competitors qualified for the championship through regional events. A total of 89 teams from 62 colleges throughout the United States will be competing. All 89 teams will compete on Days 1 and 2. After the Day 2 weigh-in, the field will be cut to the Top 12 teams for the final day of competition. Competitors will take off each day at 5:30amCT/ 6:30amET at Green River Marina, located at 2892 Lone Valley Road in Campbellsville.
