Cedar Rapids-Tyler Mehrl of Cedar Rapids found out about the University of Iowa bass fishing team before he arrived on campus.

He is a card carrying member of the club and would love to see it become recognized as a "varsity sport."

He and his teammates fish two or three tournaments each semester and point towards the Big Ten Tournament in the spring.

Iowa has never won the league title, and Mehrl says he would like to change that before he graduates.
