For the second straight year, the Marshall University Fishing Team has promoted its annual Trail Cup tournament championship on Summersville Lake in West Virginia.
In an interview with Marshall University’s Chase Sansom last year, he shared that the Cup (and trail) were intended to help the team support its efforts throughout the college fishing season.
This year, an impressive 39 boats competed in the cup finals with 23 securing their 5-fish limit.
At stake was a handsome prize pot with the winning boat taking home a considerable $3,000 top prize. The runners-up were awarded $1,200, while the top five rounded out with $700, $400, and $300 take-homes respectively.
A “big bass” prize of $100 was also awarded to a stout 3.34 pounder.
