Carter Nutt from 3rd Ranked University of North Alabama Claims T-H Marine Atlas Awards at First ACA Event

SAN ANTONIO, TX – The Association of Collegiate Anglers recently contested its first event of the 2024-25 season on the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series. $40,000 in prizes & contingencies were on the line as nearly 600 anglers competed in the no-entry-fee Bass Pro Shops Big Bass Bash presented by Berkley on Kentucky Lake. One of the many contingencies up for grabs was T-H Marine Atlas Awards.

Carter Nutt from 3rd ranked University of North Alabama claimed the tournament contingency bonus. At the first major event of the ACA’s historic 20th season, T-H Marine Atlas Awards paid out $200 to the highest-placing eligible angler.

Carter won Day 1 Session 2 presented by Bajío Sunglasses with a bass weighing 5.40 pounds. In the final overall tournament standings, that bass placed 9th. The Top 10 finish by Carter made him the highest-placing T-H Marine Atlas Awards eligible angler.

Anglers competing in Association of Collegiate Anglers events in 2024 are eligible to register for T-H Marine Atlas Awards. To qualify for the tournament contingency bonus, anglers must register prior to the event and run a T-H Marine ATLAS Jack Plate. Anglers that are registered for Atlas Awards will be eligible to earn $200 at regular season events, and $500 at the Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops.

The Association of Collegiate Anglers (ACA) is a division of CarecoTV that was created to facilitate growth, development, and structure within competitive collegiate bass fishing, with emphasis on competitive fishing events nationwide. The ACA created the original BoatUS Collegiate Bass Fishing Series 20 seasons ago. That single event has evolved into the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, which is now recognized as the longest-running consecutive collegiate bass fishing series in existence.

The ACA lineup of major college fishing events includes a variety of tournaments nationwide that are multi-day tournaments, all of which are televised on several networks, as well as streamed on a variety of connected platforms. The ACA also provides support to numerous schools operating regional events nationwide which is an effort to provide more opportunities to grow the exposure and awareness of college fishing.

The ACA owns the Bass Pro Shops Collegiate Bass Fishing Series, Bass Pro Shops School of Year presented by Abu Garcia program, and associated assets which is widely regarded as the most comprehensive and prestigious collegiate bass fishing title today.

Thanks in part to the large diversity of media exposure the ACA provides, the series boasts the largest amount of televised and streaming coverage of any collegiate fishing series. This includes a dedicated television series on numerous television networks and streaming platforms, as well as additional coverage of select events inside other programs.

This combination includes coverage from Discovery Channel, CBS Sports, Bally Sports, Pursuit Channel, as well as other regional and national networks. You can also find coverage online at any time of past events thanks to coverage on OutdoorActionTV.com and PursuitUp.com
