The Golden Tiger Anglers had five teams to compete in the Alabama Student Bass Fishing Association (ASABFA) regional tournament on Lake Guntersville on March 15, which consisted of 229 individual boats.

The team of Samuel Evans and Colton Cox placed 15th with 16.97 total weight. The team of Jace Gallagher and Caleb Mays placed 18th with 16.63 total weight. The team of Hayden Suddith and Marquis Nelson placed 61st with 10.07 total weigh. The team of Dylan Hatton and Adam Mitchell placed 76th with 7.81 total weight. The fifth team of Hunter Briles and Abby Burks had a bad day on the water due to boat trouble, but they will be competing in two other regionals on Pickwick and Wheeler in April.

Overall, the Golden Tiger Anglers finished third as a team, which qualified them for the ASABFA State Championship Tournament at Neely Henry Lake near Gadsden on Mary 9-10.

The Golden Tiger Anglers will be hosting the BCDA Trail events on Big Bear Lake on April 5 and the BCDA Classic on Cedar Creek Lake on May 5 for local high school anglers.

The Anglers want to thank all their local sponsors for their continued support this season.
