Cabela's The World's Foremost Outfitter once again demonstrated their support of collegiate bass fishing by creating a contingency award program available to all anglers participating in the 2009 Association of Collegiate Anglers and BoatU.S. Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship series of events.

 

"We are pleased to support the next generation of anglers through Cabela's Collegiate Cup," said Chris Sprangers, Cabela's Marketing Manager. "We want to do our part to encourage these participants and reward them for their dedication to fishing. Their passion for the sport is contagious and bodes well for the future of fishing."
