Two of Southeastern’s anglers competed in the Fishing Western Regional as part of the Southeastern Fishing Club, a new club that has been participating in fishing competitions around the south.
The Fishing Western Regional took place on Lake Somerville in College Station, TX on Oct. 13 through Oct 15. The competition consisted of 20 college teams competing to catch the heaviest fish. Southeastern’s team, consisting of anglers Austin Crowson and Andrew Cavell, both juniors majoring in industrial technology, qualified for the regional by placing fifth in a competition at Lake Texoma in Denison, TX.
For club founder Alan Langlois, a junior industrial technology major, this was a positive start for the new club.
“I have a team competing in regionals on Lake Somerville,” Langlois said. “Having only fished two tournaments and having qualified one team for regionals, I’d say that is a pretty solid well.”
