The popularity of fishing among young Americans has increased significantly in recent years and nowhere is this more apparent than in the rise of collegiate bass fishing. At many universities, students now have the ability to test their bass fishing skills and compete on a national stage similar to more mainstream sports like football and basketball. In this episode of Another Fishing Podcast, we talk with Rick Emmitt, Head Coach of Drury University's bass fishing team, about the growth of college fishing and where the sport is headed. Rick provides insights on what it's like to coach college anglers and why his background in the fishing industry makes him uniquely suited for his position. Emmitt also details the journey of leading his team to victory during the 2021 MLF Collegiate Series National Championship. Perhaps most importantly, though, Rick shares advice to young anglers on how to break into the fishing industry and become successful. But there's SO MUCH MORE!
Sit back, crack open a cold one, and relax. You're among friends.
