"We are honored to have their continued support and this collaboration between Cabela's, BoatUS, and the ACA will allow us to continue to raise the bar for collegiate bass fishing events and opportunities."

Chris Edmonston, President of the BoatUS Foundation, added, "We're proud to be a founding partner in the Association of Collegiate Anglers along with Cabela's. What started as a little collegiate fishing event in Texas several years ago has grown into a series of premier collegiate fishing events; thanks in large part to the number of partnerships that have developed over the years.
