Columbia, SC – The 2022 XVI Black Bass World Championship has become a historic celebration of bass fishing. Nations from across the globe will compete for bronze, silver and gold medals on Lake Murray in Columbia, SC. This includes anglers from North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
