Montevallo Makes History – Again!

The University of Montevallo's fishing team just snagged their FIFTH consecutive Bass Pro Shops School of the Year title presented by Abu Garcia! They crushed the competition at the season-ending championship on Lake Hartwell, South Carolina.

National Champs!

Seniors Dalton Head and Peyton Harris sealed the deal by winning the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship – the biggest prize in college fishing! Their two-day total weight of 37.14 pounds left the competition in the dust.

Feeling the Win

"It's the one title that has been eluding us," said Harris. He and Head, both Alabama natives, are stoked to bring the championship back to Montevallo.

Five in a Row!

Montevallo racked up the most points nationwide for the fifth year running, narrowly beating out rival University of North Alabama. The School of the Year title caps off an amazing year for UM.

Pro-Level Success!

Easton Fothergill, a UM alum, also snagged the Bassmaster Classic championship in February, beating the world's best professional anglers! Talk about a winning team!

Looking Ahead

Can Montevallo make it six in a row? They'll be back on the water next year at Pickwick Lake in Florence, Alabama, for the 2026 Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship. Stay tuned!
