USA Bass Team hooks second straight title at World Championship
The USA Bass Team cruised to its second straight gold medal at the 20th World Black Bass Championship, which was held Oct. 1-3 at Lake Hamilton in Arkansas.
The USA Bass team compiled just 48 points, which was the sum of each of the boats’ finish among the field across the three days (the lower the number, the better). South Africa was a distant second with 128 points and France took home the bronze medal with 186.5.
