SAN ANTONIO, TX (October 20, 2024) – The Association of Collegiate Anglers recently completed the second event of its historic 20th season. The AFTCO Collegiate Bass Open was contested on Lake Dardanelle in Russellville, AR during October 12-13. Following the conclusion of weigh-in on Day 2, the final standings were made official, with the Top 20 receiving payout, numerous exact places rewarded, a Power-Pole to the Overall Big Bass, as well as multiple contingency bonuses awarded.
