It’s a long drive from Arizona to Seneca South Carolina but the trip home is going to be a little sweeter for Shane Edgar and his partner Frankie Mueller who captured Sundays TBF/FLW High School Fishing National Championship on Keowee Reservoir. The talented duo brought in a 5 bass limit that weighed in at 9lbs 13oz to edge out local hometown favorites Carter McNeil and Tucker Smith from Abbeville High School, who also had a 5 fish limit, by a mere six ounces to win the coveted crown and a $10,000 dollar College Scholarship.
The setting for the event could not have been better with the FLW Tour event expo set up at the Seneca Wal Mart with capacity crowds who enjoyed not only the FLW Tour and the excitement of some of the country’s finest professional anglers but also the FLW College Fishing National Championship, The High School National Championship and the Anderson Open High School open tournament at nearby Lake Russell. Needless to say Northwest South Carolina was the epicenter of tournament fishing this weekend!
