CALLOWAY COUNTY, KY (KFVS) - The Froggyland Bass Fishing Classic for high school teams was held on Kentucky Lake on Saturday, May 12.

Sixteen boats from eight schools in Illinois, Tennessee and Kentucky battled cool and windy conditions to hook the big ones. 

Sponsored by the Calloway County High School Bass Fishing Club and radio station Froggy 103.7, the first place trophy, as well as the traveling team trophy, went to the host school’s Bracken Robertson (left in photo) and Dillon Starks with a total weight of 15 lbs. 5 oz.

The split school team of Holhauser from Anna-Jonesboro, Ill. and Strack from Lyon County, Ky. came in a close second and the team of Cooksey and Finley also from Calloway County HS followed in third place.
Robertson also netted the Big Bass award with a 5 lb., 2 oz. beauty.

A team from  Marshall County HS came in fourth and a Reidland HS boat finished out the top five for the day.

This was the first Bass Fishing tournament hosted by the Calloway County High School club which will become a KHSAA sanctioned sport for the next school year.

Sponsor Jo Beth Roberson thanked all the sponsors, volunteer boat captains, and parents for their help during the day of competition.
