The Junior Bassmaster® 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 Bassmaster® Chapters and tournaments are a part of the adult BASS® Federation Program. Adult clubs, who become sponsors for Junior Bassmaster® 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 Bassmaster® program for the opportunity to advance to the Junior Bassmaster World Championship™.

Similar to the adult BASS® Federation model, Junior Bassmaster® clubs and juniors members participate in local, state and divisional competitions, vying for the coveted honor of qualifying for the Junior Bassmaster World Championship™, held each year in conjunction with the Citgo Bassmaster Classic®, 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 Bassmaster® Magazine and The Bassmaster TV show, spending two days fishing on the water in one of the official Bassmaster Classic® 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.
