University of Alabama Bass Team Wins 2016 Cabela's School of Year

SAN ANTONIO, TX - The University of Alabama has won the 2016 Cabela's School of the Year title. Widely regarded as the hardest and most sought after college fishing title in the nation, this is the first time that the University of Alabama has earned this prestigious award.

The Cabela's School of the Year program offers college anglers the chance to compete at the highest level in numerous collegiate fishing events held all over the nation. The Association of Collegiate Anglers created this program with Cabela's to both rank and reward collegiate fishing teams based on their performance in the Cabela's Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, Carhartt College B.A.S.S. Series, and FLW College Series, as well as select school-hosted and operated events.

"This year the Alabama Bass Team really set our goal to win Cabela's School of the Year. We set our entire college fishing schedule to be able to compete in a variety of events so we could earn points toward this title. Fortunately, we got the job done catching fish this year at events all over the nation," stated John Davis, President of University of Alabama Bass Club.
