DBU anglers win Texas Collegiate

Dallas Baptist's Zachery Hines and Trent Newman battled a strong cold front to win the Texas Collegiate Challenge.

The duo caught a five-fish limit that weighed 19.75 pounds, edging Southwest Mississippi Community College. The second-place team of Cole and Houston Smith weighed in 19.6 pounds. Bryan College's Nathan Bell and Cole Sands finished third with 16.05 pounds.

On the same day, the Bassmaster High School Southern Open on Tennessee's Chickamauga Lake set records with 347 boats and 1,033 participants. It was Bassmaster's largest ever high school tournament.

Springfield, Ala., anglers Logan Henderson and Steven Swann won the tournament by setting another record -- a five-fish limit that weighed 24 pounds, one ounce. The previous record was 23 pounds, 14 ounces.
