Gators win it all
Gipson and Wercinski lead University of Florida to come-from-behind victory at the 2010 FLW College Fishing National Championship

By Gary Mortenson - 12.Apr.2010

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – It took more than a year for the first-ever National Guard FLW College Fishing National Championship to finally unfold. But in the end it was clearly worth the wait. During a tense and nerve-wracking final day weigh-in, the University of Florida eked out a dramatic 9-ounce victory over rival Texas State University.

With both teams standing on stage, Texas State University needed only 6 pounds, 13 ounces to walk away with the tournament title. As the University of Florida team of Jake Gipson and Matthew Wercinski looked on, the Texas State University team of David Cosner and Jay McCollum, who entered the day as the top qualifiers, weighed in their three-fish catch and awaited the official announcement.

"Do you know CPR?" joked Cosner during the weigh-ins finals moments.

Finally, the announcement came on the big electronic board – 6 pounds, 4 ounces. The Texas State University team had fallen short by a mere 9 ounces, handing the University of Florida Gators the inaugural FLW College Fishing National Championship title.

I assume this is a home and home series; we'll get'em next year in Gainesville. I wonder if the band travels or just plays for the home games...

Its good to see the boys from SWT do more than drink Keystone and float the Guadalupe.

I see sarcasm is lost on your this morning, if not my attempt at humor.

How are the Tavern waitresses dressing up these days? It's warming up in the ATL I'm sure.

Sarcasm clearly noted. I just thought that smiley was perfect for this.

The waitress we had a few weeks ago was a 10. It was fantastic. Actually saw Alabama's own John Parker Wilson there that night with what looked to be 2 other Falcons.

That place is off the hook in the spring/summer months.

Are they still wearing those tiny black cocktease....err....cocktail dresses or have they changed uniforms?

Yeah, Florida and Texas State...HUGE rivals.

If there's anything more lame than a fishing article, it's a college fishing hyperbole.

2 Questions: How do you even recruit for a college fishing team? Are you allowed to drink Natty Lite instead of Gatorade?

Give a Gator a fish, he'll win one match. Teach a Gator to fish, he'll win a national title.
