The Texas BASS Nation Team of Brian Jones & Matt Russell land in 6th place after day 1 of the BASSMASTER Team Championship at Lake Eufaula, Alabama. This is a very impressive accomplishment against 179 Teams from around the country.
WOW, what a great start!! They are in position to move up on Day 2 and we wish them well! We hope they are fishing against each other on Day 3 and Day 4. That means one of them may make the BASSMASTER Classic!
The leading duo after Day 2 of this week’s Team Championship will claim a $20,600 cash prize provided by Ranger/Mercury, part of a $91,600 total purse that will be divvied among the Top 35 teams.
The Top 3 teams (six anglers) also will advance to the Bassmaster Classic Fish-Off portion of the championship. They’ll have their team weights zeroed and they’ll fish individually on Friday and Saturday with the leader clinching the final spot in the 2022 Academy Sports + Outdoors Bassmaster Classic presented by Huk. The Classic will be held March 4-6 on South Carolina’s Lake Hartwell.
Day 2 of the Bassmaster Team Championship will begin at 6:15 a.m. CT from Lakepoint State Park Marina. Weigh-in is scheduled for 2:15 p.m. at Lakepoint.
