Event fact Sheet/Agenda

One of the oldest and most productive programs that the Bass Federation has ever had is the TBF Junior Angler Program it was started by 4 state federations in 1994 and has grown into a nationwide program. Reformatted by popular demand, all TBF Junior events are 2 person TEAM tournaments and the TBF Junior World Championship (JWC) has be expanded to 2 days of competition before the cut day to the day 3 finals

NEW FOR 2021! Young anglers who are in the 8th grade or less on the day of their LAST state federation Junior qualifier (The day they qualify) can join as a TBF Junior members and fish as a team with a buddy from their own boats with their own boat captains! We have active state Junior Programs in almost every state across the country and 1 team advances to the Junior World Championship for every 10 unique teams that fish any State Federation junior program. (so (1) for 1-10, (2) for 20, (3) for 30 etc.) AND NEW FOR 2021 – 1 team advances for every 20 unique teams from any other (non-state federation) TBF sanctioned (by national office) JUNIOR trail. Any junior program must have a minimum of 6 active Junior members to participate.

These junior anglers fish in local club & state tournaments and participate in fundraising and conservation projects just like the adults do.

The competitive branch of this program allows the anglers to attend their sanctioned Junior State events and attempt to qualify for the annual TBF Junior World Championship (JWC) out of their own boat with their own boat captain for thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes! The bigger your program is the more teams can advance.

Official Practice days are Monday and Tuesday July 26, 27. READ THE RULES!
