2025 Garmin Year-End Review

Achieved: 20 Years The Association of Collegiate Anglers was founded in 2005 – on the premise of filling a gap in bass fishing tournaments, one that would benefit young, impressionable anglers with a passion for fishing. And we wanted to provide a place to foster and grow their passion, so they would continue to have tight lines, time on the water, an understanding for the need for conservation efforts, and so they can pass on the sport of bass fishing to other youth. 20 years later, we are amazed and humbled. To the anglers, host sites, companies, and everyone that has helped to contribute to the growth of college fishing the past 20 years, the ACA would like to say, “thank you”…because without every one of you, this milestone wouldn’t have been possible and many of today’s anglers who now work in the industry, fish competitively or fish recreationally would never have had the chance to do so. This 20-year milestone has been reached and celebrated, now on to the next 20 years!
