The 2016 Carolina Bass Challenge Classic is now officially wrapped up and local residents Adam Waters and Dylan Fulk are now $54,000 richer. What many consider to be the world series of team bass tournaments took place at Lake Norman’s Blythe Landing this year.
220 groups with a total of 400 fishermen competed for over $105,000 in cash and prizes this year and two locals ended up winning it. Waters, from Denver, N.C., and Fulk, from Concord, NC finished their 2 day run with a total of 10 fish weighing in at 25.49 pounds.
The 1st Place prize was $50,000.00, and their unique Skeeter powered by a Yamaha earned them an additional $4,000.00 in prize money.
