The Junior BassmasterŪ
program is a great adventure and the
friendly spirit of competition is a
thrill to be a part of at any level,
especially for youth. Junior BassmasterŪ
Chapters and tournaments are a part of
the adult BASSŪ Federation Program.
Adult clubs, who become sponsors for
Junior BassmasterŪ Chapters, act as
mentors who foster and pass on the
traditions associated with the sport of
fishing and thrills of the outdoors.
Interested youth can join as a Junior
Bassmaster member at any age below 18,
but competition for advancement on an
international level is reserved for two
age groups, which are 11-14 and 15-18.
Once a junior member attains the age of
11, they can begin competing in the
Junior BassmasterŪ program for the
opportunity to advance to the Junior
Bassmaster World Championship".
Similar to the adult BASSŪ Federation
model, Junior BassmasterŪ clubs and
juniors members participate in local and
state competitions, vying for the
coveted honor of qualifying for the
Junior Bassmaster World Championship",
held each year in conjunction with the
Citgo Bassmaster ClassicŪ, the greatest
stage in professional bass fishing. As
qualifiers for this prestigious event,
Junior Bassmaster anglers will team up
along side their heroes from the pages
of BassmasterŪ Magazine and The
Bassmaster TV show, spending two days
fishing on the water in one of the
official Bassmaster ClassicŪ tournament
rigs. In professional sports today, this
type of event is unparalleled! The dream
of spending two days with a childhood
idol and hero is something found only
within the wholesomeness of fishing.
Without doubt, the memories created will
resonate with children, parents and
professional anglers for a lifetime.
