The tournament, which occurred September 22, 2013 on a private Oklahoma lake owned by Ranger Pro and professional bass fishing legend Jimmy Houston, pitted the two highest-qualifying teams from the FLW College Fishing Championship and the BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing National Championship in a winner-take-all, made-for-TV event.

 

The schools represented in this year’s challenge are University of Louisiana- Monroe and Tennessee Tech. Paul Clark and Brett Preuett will be representing the University of Louisiana- Monroe, while Joe Slagle and Cliff Dye are the anglers competing from Tennessee Tech.

 

Modeled after the most lucrative contingency program in the industry, the Ranger Cup, Ranger Cup University is open to collegiate anglers fishing in either FLW- or BoatUS- affiliated competitions.

 

With up to $2,000 in prizes on the line, this fishing competition is more intense than ever. Make sure to watch the University of Louisiana- Monroe and Tennessee Tech battle it out for the right to be dubbed Ranger Cup Challenge winners. You can watch all of the action on:
