In this week’s episode of the Think Outside Fishing Podcast, presented by Baits.com, we’re diving into the world of college fishing — a competitive scene that’s growing fast and producing some serious talent.

We work with and sponsor college teams across the country, and this week we sat down with the team from the University of Tennessee just after they wrapped up the MLF National Championship. These guys are putting in the work and representing their school on a national level, and we wanted to hear what that’s really like.

We talked through what it takes to compete at the top, the grind of traveling across the country for tournaments, and how these student anglers manage their schedules with school, training, and fishing. We also got into the unique experience of fishing at an SEC school, and why the sport is about a lot more than just time on the water — it’s discipline, preparation, and long-term commitment.

Whether you're currently competing, thinking about fishing in college, or just want to understand what it takes to make it in this sport, this episode gives a real, unfiltered look into the life of a college angler.
