The MCHS Bass Fishing team competed in the first tournament of the 2024-2025 season on Saturday, June 8th.  The tournament, which launched at Perry Marine near Cannelton, IN, was on the typically tough Ohio River.  A total of 122 anglers (61 boats) were signed up and ready to compete in the high school and junior divisions.  The Madison anglers had 9 teams on the water, and several did well. In the Junior Division Madison had 2 teams competing and were led by a 2nd place finish from Floyd Davis Jr and Gavin Brittain.  Floyd/Gavin had two fish, led by Brittain’s 3.92-pound bass, for 4.80 pounds.  Randy Spry Jr was the boat captain for the team.  Finishing in a 4-way tie for 7th place were Kohen Smith and Brantly Connover. The junior winner was a perennial powerhouse- John Brown and Julianne Sorg, who brought 4 fish to the scale for 7.88 pounds.

In the High School division, the Fishin’ Cubs had 7 teams competing against a total of 48 teams.  The Cubs were paced by a 4th place finish from the brother duo of Carson Cammack and Mitchell Cammack.  Mitchell Cammack was making his tournament debut and impressed the field and organizers with a monster 5.23lb largemouth bass.  The Big Bass for the tournament was worth an extra 5 points to their score and finds the duo in overall first place in the point standings after one tournament.  The brothers had a 2 fish total of 6.52 pounds.  The team was captained by dad Chris Cammack.
