USA Bass Team Set for 2023 Pan American Bass Fishing Championship

Michelle Jalaba and Hannah Wesley won the 2022 ICAST Cup to qualify for the USA Bass Team.

The 2023 Pan American Bass Fishing Championship is set for September 6-9 at Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas. The event, officially sanctioned by the Pan American Sportfishing Federation will bring together the top anglers from the Americas. Each nation can field up to eight pairs for the event. All weights count so teams will need to have big catches from all their pairs.

The USA Bass Team is coming off a Gold medal performance at the 2022 Bass Fishing World Championship. Team coach, Charlie Evans is excited by this next challenge for the USA Bass Team. 

 “The Pan American championship was designed to get more countries in the Americas involved in international fishing. The goal is to get fishing recognized by the International Olympic Committee,” says Evans.
