The Logan Parks Fishing Foundation is excited to announce the 2024 Nitro Boats NSANE Tournament, presented by Abu Garcia. Open to 150 teams, each comprising one high school and one college angler, the tournament will take place on October 6 at Lake Martin in Auburn, Alabama.
Similar to last year’s successful CHAOS event, the NSANE Tournament, short for “National Student Angler Network Events,” will retain the same innovative format as last year.
“Our NSANE format redefines bass fishing tournaments,” said Logan Parks. “By merging a dynamic, high-energy approach with new features, we’re raising the bar and enhancing the experience for anglers and spectators.”
This year’s tournament promises to deliver an unforgettable experience, blending intense competition with unique activities and unmatched opportunities for student anglers nationwide.
