Trinity High School senior Carson Fitzgerald has signed a national letter of intent to join the bass fishing team at Campbellsville University, continuing a decorated high school career at the postsecondary level.
Fitzgerald has been a standout angler throughout his time at Trinity. He qualified for the KHSAA State Championship all four years, finishing third in 2024. He was also Region 1 runner-up in 2022 and placed third again in 2023, winning the Big Bass award both seasons.
From 2020-2025, Fitzgerald claimed 13 individual tournament victories and earned wins on four different bodies of water. He also qualified for the SAF National Championship for four straight years and won the USA Bassin Next Generation National Championship in 2024. That same year, he won a Major League Fishing BFL tournament.
Fitzgerald thanked his support system in a statement during the signing ceremony.
“I just wanna thank Coach Miracle on this amazing opportunity and thank my family, friends, and teachers on always pushing me in fishing and my education,” he said. “But most importantly, I wanna thank my Lord and Savior for never leaving my side and getting me through these tough years of high school. I’m excited to announce that I will now pursue my athletics and education at Campbellsville University.”
Fitzgerald is the son of BJ and Sarah Fitzgerald. BJ helped launch Trinity’s bass fishing program and has served as head coach throughout Carson’s career.
