SAVANNAH, Ga. — Isaac Payne's vision of starting a bass fishing club at Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) has resulted in him being hired to coach the school's first intercollegiate varsity fishing team.
During his stint in the U.S. Marine Corps, Payne envisioned going to college to design lures and create a bass fishing team at his school once he got out of the service.
"I knew I was going to do that when I was deployed in Iraq in 2009," Payne recalled. "I knew that if I made it home safely, I was going to achieve this dream and follow the vision I had."
His dream became reality when Payne was admitted to SCAD and eventually started a B.A.S.S. Nation bass club at the school in December 2013. The club's biggest highlight was during the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Wild Card event in June 2014 at Lake Barkley where Payne and his partner, Connor Mannina, finished 21st out of 76 teams.
