In recent years, the college angler scene has exploded with more than 600 colleges sponsoring competitive bass fishing teams. Matt Pangrac, co-host of Bass Talk Live and content editor for Bass Zone College magazine, brings everyone up to speed as he talks with Mike Iaconelli on Ike Live!, Sunday, October 11 at 7:00 pm ET, live-streaming from MikeIaconelli.com. (Note the 1-hour earlier start time!)
With three different competitive circuits, college fishing is intense and growing fast. Add in the prospects of scholarship money, prize money, sponsorships money, TV show appearances, discounts and incentives from sponsors, and a chance to fish in the 2016 GEICO Bassmaster Classic and you have a sport afire. Pangrac, along with students who are making college angling work for them, provide insights into the competition and the perks.
In addition, Iaconelli recaps his recent trip to Italy for the Molix Tour. Though it was a busy week with stops in Rome, Florence and Venice, he and wife Becky still found time to get married–again! He spills all the details, from the suit he wore to how he combed his hair for this super special occasion.
