Mason Bright and Drake Walls of the Bass Cats made a splash at the Major League Fishing high school tournament on Lake Seminole, securing an impressive fifth-place finish. The two anglers had been prepping, honing their skills, and studying the lake’s unique conditions.

The duo encountered several difficulties, notably with some particularly obstinate bass that appeared determined to outwit them. Despite these obstacles, Bright and Wall’s persistence paid off with their 6:30 a.m. start time as they successfully landed sizable catches throughout the early morning and afternoon. Their final haul showcased their hard work and dedication, earning them a spot in the top five.

For Bright and Walls, the fifth-place finish was not just a personal achievement but a proud moment for the entire Bass Cats team. It was a reminder of the importance of preparation, teamwork, and a passion for the sport. The tournament on Lake Seminole will undoubtedly be a memorable milestone in their angling journey.
