ANDERSON, S.C. - Garrett Smith and Andrew Blanton used a day three weight of 20lbs-9oz, including the largest fish of the weekend at 6lb-1oz, to win the 2024 Strike King Bassmaster College National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops on Lake Hartwell. The duo nabbed the limit of 15 fish for a total of 49lbs even to top the field of 167 boats that was cut down to just 12 going into the last day on Saturday.

The team qualified for the tournament with their win on Lake Norman earlier in the season.

Teammate Hampton Shull, who fished solo, placed 12th with a three day total of 31lbs-15oz.
