All about Casting Kids

BASS formed in 1968 to promote and encourage fishing. Recognizing that youngsters are the future of this great sport, BASS is far more than just another tournament organization and takes getting today's youth involved in the sport seriously. BASS has always been 100% committed to growing the popularity and excitement of the outdoors to a fast paced generation of youth.

In 1991, BASS developed the Bassmaster CastingKids program, which is similar to the NFL punt, pass, and kick events. However, in CastingKids the challenge is to flip, pitch and cast a hookless lure to a bullseye target. Mastering these three techniques will give any angler the skills they need to present any lure and catch monster bass. Scoring is based on a points system so the young angler with the most points wins! In only 15 years of existence, with over 17,600 national and international events conducted to date, participation by more than 1.9 million children and more than $3.1 million awarded in cash, prizes and scholarships, the Bassmaster CastingKids program is the most successful youth fishing program in the world.

Participants compete in local events conducted by an affiliated BASS Federation Nation club. The winners then proceed to their respective state finals, where each state then determines two winners to represent their state at the National Semifinals. From the National Semifinals only 12 contenders will advance to the National Championship, which is conducted in conjunction with the Bassmaster Classic each year. [One contender per each age group representing the Northern, Southern, Eastern, Mid-Atlantic, Western and Central Divisions]
