2021 Black Bass World Championship

 Columbia is the capital city of South Carolina. It’s home to the South Carolina State House, a Greek Revival building set in gardens dotted with monuments. Riverbanks Zoo & Garden is a huge park with animal enclosures and botanical gardens. Dating to 1823, the Robert Mills House is a mansion and museum surrounded by ornate gardens. 

The Doubletree Hilton is where the event headquarters, competitor lodging, meals, transportation staging, team registration, captain’s meetings, beat draw, and posting of scores will occur.  This will be a great place to meet and mingle with the international teams and to enjoy the festive atmosphere 

 With 650 miles of shoreline, Lake Murray is the perfect lake to boat and fish. The fishing is great at Lake Murray! Tournaments are hosted frequently on the lake, including the Forest Wood Cup at Lake Murray. Lake Murray is known as one of the most productive lakes in the Southeast for large mouth bass and striped bass. 

Dreher Island State Park spans three islands and provides access to Lake Murray.  It has long been a popular location and launching spot for major national fishing tournaments. The Championship will use Dreher Island State Park for: launches, boat starts, refueling, and FLW stage & weigh-in. 

FLW will provide the staging, weigh station, signage, audio visual equipment, large format screens and live connectivity worldwide through “FLW Live”. The FLW is the premier tournament fishing organization that provides unparalleled fishing resources for our anglers, sponsors and fans. 

 Youth Angling Day – Fishing at Columbia Canal and Riverfront Park, lunch provided to volunteers. Teaching youth conservation and stewardship, meet Bass Pros and leaders from IGFA, Boy Scouts, and USAC. Bring the kids out to fish along side a real Pro!
