The Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series is pleased to announce that registration is now open for the upcoming AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open on Lake Dardanelle. As the second stop of the 2019-2020 season for the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, the event will be held on October 26-27, 2019 and will be once again hosted by Russellville Tourism and Visitor Center in Russellville, Arkansas. The format will consist of a traditional two-day, one boat and two-angler team format and winners will be determined by the heaviest accumulated weight per team.
“We absolutely love having the college anglers in Russellville, this tournament is one of our favorites that we hope to have each year,” said Christie Graham, Executive Director of Russellville Tourism and Visitors Center.
As one of five double-points Bass Pro Shops School of the Year events, the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series and the ACA are excited to offer collegiate anglers the chance to compete on Lake Dardanelle in the AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open as part of the 2019 Bass Pro Shops School of the Year race.
“We’re very excited to be back on Lake Dardanelle.

College anglers competing in this event will be featured on the television series, digital platforms and will also be experience great hospitality and first-class fishing on one of the best lakes in the nation. In addition, we’ll see several major fishing companies on site with special things just for college anglers.
“This tournament is such a great opportunity for us to be involved more with college anglers and see their passion for fishing. We will have our Bass Bus in attendance again this year to insure all the fish are returned safely back to Lake Dardanelle. This year’s event will be even bigger than last year and we are looking forward to it,” Casey Shedd, Vice President AFTCO.
