STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) -- Saturday is the third and final day of the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Championship fishing tournement, hosted this year by UW Stevens Point on Lake DuBay.
Tyler Rivet and Allyson Marcel of Nicholls State University hauled in 8 pounds, 7 ounces on Friday to vault from eighth place and into the second-round lead.
Rivet and Marcel stayed with the tactics and locations that had them among the leaders in the first round. Rivet says, “We did exactly the same thing today and fished the exact same spots. It’s an undercut bank in a small canal, and it reminds us of how we fish back in Louisiana. We had to hit the bank with our baits, or we wouldn’t have a chance to catch a bass.” Marcel is hoping to go back and get the two fish that got away from them during the final round Saturday. The Nicholls State team landed 8 pounds 7 ounces on Friday to take a 6 ounce lead going into the final day.
The team from Texas A&M is in second place entering Saturday's final round with 6 pounds 9 ounces. The University of North Carolina-Charlotte is the defending 2014 National Champs, and they are less than two pounds behind the leaders. The University of Minnesota team is 4th at 3 pounds 13 ounces, and the University of Alabama won the tiebreaker over East Carolina to get 5th entering the final day.
The final weigh-ins are set for Saturday afternoon at UW Stevens Point's Sundial between the Noel Fine Arts Center and the James Albertson Learning Center on Portage Street.
