A record-setting 194 teams showed up for the FLW College Fishing Open, reported Tournament Director Kevin Hunt, making it the largest collegiate-fishing event ever. “Teams from every corner of the country are represented here, with squads from as far away as Eastern Washington University,” FLW said in a press release.
