The resolution recognizes Easton Fothergill for his remarkable achievement in winning the 2023 Bassmaster College Classic Bracket Championship held at Milford Lake, Kansas, from September 29 to October 2, 2023. Fothergill, a student at the University of Montevallo, triumphed over competitors from his own university and Auburn University, culminating in a final day catch of 11 pounds, 13 ounces. This victory is particularly significant as it comes just one month after he underwent emergency brain surgery for an abscess, showcasing his resilience and dedication to the sport.

The resolution highlights Fothergill's journey, including his recovery process and the support he received from family, teammates, and coaches. It also notes his involvement in the University of Montevallo's Outdoor Scholars Program, where he studies conservation and game management. The Alabama Legislature expresses its highest commendation for Fothergill's perseverance and success, and a copy of the resolution will be presented to him as a tribute to his accomplishments.
