After a strong practice locating quality bass up to 8 lbs on Lake Chickamauga, Brian Volkernick and Erik Zilgme represented the University of Maine at the 2019 Carhartt Bassmaster College National Championship — a week to remember, with several personal bests including an 8-2 largemouth.

The University of Maine repeated as Maine B.A.S.S. Nation College State Champions in 2018, weighing 5 bass for 6.46 lbs to advance to the 2019 National Championship.
