B.A.S.S. Report

Easton Fothergill, of Grand Rapids, Minn., an angler at Alabama’s University of Montevallo, has been medically cleared to participate in the Bassmaster College Classic Bracket presented by Lew’s at Milford Lake in Junction City, Kan., this weekend, after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a brain abscess in late August.
Fothergill said he’s relieved he’ll be able to compete after what he described as the scariest moments of his life.
“When this all happened, my first thought was, oh, my gosh, I put all this work in and finally made it to the bracket and I’m not going to be able to fish it,” Fothergill said.
