REMEMBERING A DECADE OF HIGH SCHOOL FISHING

By Mark Gintert.
As you may have heard by now the end of December will conclude my tenure as the National Youth Director for The Bass  Federation.  I will once again be giving retirement another try! (I have failed miserably in the past so I’m going to try harder this time!)
I have spent a long time trying to think of all the people that I have worked with over the last ten years and I have come to the conclusion that trying to recognize any of them would be nearly impossible as I would most surely forget someone along the way. So, I just  want to take a moment and thank all of you who saw the vision and had the faith in what we were trying to build in High School Fishing as well as our other TBF youth programs.

Your dedication to help build this program in your schools, communities and state federations is what made it such a tremendous success nationwide. 

The entire journey from the initial days of doing our first live in-school presentations to laying out and planning our first High School Fishing World Finals to watching our membership soar to new heights has been quite a wild ride.  For me personally I can’t begin to tell you what a rewarding experience  this has been!

The old phrase, “don’t you just love it when a plan comes together,” has never rang more true for me!

As I look back on the last ten years it will be the faces and personalities of students, parents, club advisors, youth directors and coaches who bought into the High School Fishing dream and all that it has to offer that will stay with me forever.

I leave with literally hundreds of memories of people I have met and conversations we have shared.
I love the late night calls from moms and dads who told me their child was the next KVD!  I loved those calls because when they finally brought their student angler out to a State Championship or an event like the High School World Finals they found out that High School Fishing was well beyond anything they thought had ever existed and it brought them back to planet earth a little bit! Lol  But, also the idea that the next KVD is out there in our circuit now; it’s truly exciting!
But most of all I want to thank the TBF Board of Directors for taking a chance on me ten years ago and the TBF staff who I served with on a day to day basis. You have all made this experience one that I will never forget!

Fish on my friends and remember to help just one more school in your area get involved in the great sport of fishing!

Sincerely,
Mark Gintert

Old Meets the New as TBF’s 2017 Federation National Championship Returns to Kimberling City and Table Rock Lake with New Championship Event Format

federationsolomasterPONCA CITY, Okla. (December 15, 2016) – The Bass Federation (TBF) and FLW announced today the Table Rock Lake Chamber of Commerce and Kimberling City, Mo., will host the 2017 TBF Federation National Championship, April 3-8. The event will be the largest, richest, most exciting championship in the Federation’s decades old history. The first of its kind during a transition year, anglers qualified both under the old state team/divisional format and the new wildly popular TBF National Semi-Final format so that no one would be left out.

“We’re thrilled The Bass Federation has again chosen Kimberling City on Table Rock Lake to host its national championship,” President of Table Rock Chamber of Commerce, Sheila Thomas, stated. “Our community is very excited to welcome this great organization and all of its anglers next April.”

The championship contest will be held on Table Rock Lake launching out of Port of Kimberling in down town Kimberling City.

“We’re excited to bring TBF anglers what they asked for in the new event format and make a mark in the history books while doing it,” TBF President, Robert Cartlidge, said. “While we’re sad to see the division format go, the excitement, growth and participation nationwide since the transition are proof we’re better serving our members.

We can’t wait to get to Kimberling City so the very best grassroots anglers from across North America can test their skills on Table Rock Lake,” Cartlidge continued. ““The Rock” is a diverse fishery with something for everyone so that each angler can fish their strengths, the fishing is exceptional, and it’s a perfect place for families with lots to see and do in the area.”

The new TBF National Semi-Final program that is now feeding this event is mapped out to minimize drive time, cost and time off work all while helping TBF grassroots anglers get to premier events. The program is comprised of 22 National Semi-Final competitions that span the traditional seven TBF geographical divisions in North America.

Anglers can qualify for their National Semi-final either through a state federation event or directly through their TBF affiliated local club events. The total number of anglers each state can advance is based on total participation numbers in that state.

At the 2017 Federation National Championship anglers will compete in a cut format event that will see the top boater and co-angler from each state earning spots in new Ranger Boats and Evinrude Outboards for the final three days of competition. These anglers will fight for a share in the record payout and for 15 berths in two of the sport’s most coveted events – the Forrest Wood Cup and the BFL All-American.

Fourteen finalists, seven boaters and co-anglers, will advance to the 2017 BFL All-American. The National Champion boater will advance to the world championship of bass fishing, the 2017 Forrest Wood Cup, for a shot at winning the biggest payday in bass fishing.

The winning boater will also receive the $100,000 “Living the Dream” package to include a cash prize, fully paid entry fees on the 2018 FLW Tour as a pro, travel expense stipends for each event and use of a “Living the Dream” wrapped Ranger boat with Evinrude Outboard for the year. The top co-angler will also receive a cash prize along with fully paid entry fees into the FLW Series division of choice.

The Bass Federation is proud “Partners in Fishing” with FLW who helps support this annual event along with all the other industry leading TBF sponsors including; Ranger Boats, Evinrude, Cabela’s, Humminbird, MinnKota, Berkley, Lowrance, and Power Pole.

Coverage of the TBF National Championship will be broadcast in high-definition on the Pursuit Channel and streamed live daily on bassfederation.com.
