McKENZIE (July 29) — Bethel University’s Head Bass Fishing Coach Garry Mason announced Wednesday Bethel University will extend its Bass Fishing program by adding Kayak Bass Fishing to their team format.
Kayak fishing is one of the fastest-growing sports in America and Bethel University has been in the forefront of Collegiate Bass Fishing since 2009. “Bethel became the first college or university in the country to offer scholarships to athletes for the sport of Bass Fishing” said Mason. “So, it stands to reason that our University would expand its Bass Fishing program and bring Kayak Bass Fishing to our campus.”
The timing is right as the Kayak Bass Fishing organization known as KBF will soon announce the addition of college bass fishing to its impressive tournament trail. “This series will give collegiate kayak fishermen a great place in which to compete and gain recognition for themselves and their college or university program,” said Chad Hoover, KBF Founder and President.
