Bristol, Tenn.- Day Two of the 2026 ACA Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops brought a surge of momentum for King University's team of Caleb Dugger and Rhyan Massey, who closed out their Pickwick Lake campaign with grit, consistency, and a full limit on the final day.
After weighing a single 5.97-pound bass on Day One, the Tornado duo returned to the water determined to climb the leaderboard. Their adjustments paid off. Dugger and Massey secured a three-fish limit, adding 6.67 pounds to their total and bringing their two-day combined weight to 12.64 pounds.
Their Day Two execution showcased the kind of composure and adaptability that championship fishing demands. Pickwick Lake's shifting current and heavy pressure challenged even the most seasoned collegiate anglers, but the King University team stayed locked in, capitalizing on key bites and making the most of limited opportunities.
Their 3/3 limit for 6.67 pounds not only improved their standing but also highlighted their ability to learn from Day One and respond with a stronger, more complete performance on Day Two. The 12.64-pound total reflects a steady, resilient showing on one of the nation's most competitive collegiate stages.
For Dugger and Massey, the 2026 ACA Championship becomes another building block in their growth as anglers and another proud moment for King University's bass fishing program. Their finish at Pickwick Lake underscores the team's upward trajectory and the promise they bring into future events.
