BAILEY & MOODY TAKE THE WIN AT THE 2024 THE JUNIOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

 * By Staff in News

The 2024 Junior World Championship was held in Anderson, South Carolina on Lake
Hartwell at Green Pond Landing.

The JWC is the oldest Youth program still running in the United States today. 
The Bass Federation founded and started the Junior program in 1994, and it still
runs strong in 2024. For thirty years providing the youth an opportunity to get
out on the water and compete just like any other circuit out there.

With many changes in the past few years, the Bass Federation has permitted
multiple avenues for the younger students to qualify. We are very excited about
the new format that was rolled out at this year’s Annual Junior World
Championship. The Bass federation looks forward to the growth in numbers that
will come in the future. With that growth this will allow the Bass Federation to
be able to take the venue to just about any destination desired.

Not only do we hold the Junior World Championship annually for the younger
students to come and compete this is also when the Bass Federation holds its
annual Leadership conference and President’s meetings.

Each state holds an annual state qualifier for advancing their top junior teams
and we have also initiated the ability for approved Sanctioned Youth trails to
have the ability to advance their top Junior teams as well.

Both students on each team must both be in the 8th grade or less and cannot have
started the 9th grade prior to competing in the JWC they qualified for.

The Junior World Championship is a 3-day event with the first 2 days as
Divisional Qualifiers. Every team competing must qualify from their state to
come and compete. Once the JWC tournament has started the Junior teams from each
division are battling it out for the title of Division Champions on those first
2 days.

Not only do the 5 Divisional Champs advance to the Championship Day but as a
reward to those divisions who are actively growing in numbers, we allow the
Divisional Champion plus 2 other teams to advance from the biggest division
represented. So as a reward the biggest division sends its top 3 teams.

The next 2 biggest divisions also send their division champion team plus a
second team from each of those Divisions to the final day Championship. Giving
the next 2 biggest divisions the ability to advance their top 2 teams.

And the last two Divisions with the smallest numbers are only permitted to
advance the Division Champion team from each.

This allows the top 9 teams from the first 2 days of competition from the 5
divisions advancement into the Final Championship Day.

Now to create a more level playing field like that of a conventional advancement
by weight tournament we then take the next five heaviest weights from the
qualifying first 2 days and they also advance and compete in the Final
Championship Day. This gives us 14 teams advancing either by Divisional
qualifiers or by overall weights from the first 2 days of competition.

Like the High School World Finals on Thursday after the qualified teams have all
been announced we then hold a Lucky Dog drawing and advance one lucky team and
allow that team to advance and compete for the Junior World Champion Title as
well.

This year’s Junior World Championship with predicted afternoon thunderstorms and
rain proved not to be the case. Overcast skies and light winds with a bit of
rain in the AM hours on day 2 actually provided the teams with some great
conditions while out on the water.

72 qualified teams took to the field on Wednesday in pursuit of a 3 fish limit.
Besting the entire field on Day one was Rayah and Julianna Thoin from the
Eastern Division weighing in at 8 pounds and 13 ounces, giving the All-Female
Junior team the lead.  This also gave the New Hampshire team a respectful lead
in their division.

Second Place team hailing from the Northern Division from Indiana was Sam
Elliott and partner Myles Motsinger with a weight of 8 pounds and 3 ounces. The
Indiana team proved to be a force to be reckoned with throughout the remainder
of the event. 

The third-place team from day 1 was the Southwest Iowa team of Collin Nore and
Holden Devore.  The pair from the new TBF Iowa program weighed in on day one
with 7 pounds and 13 ounces. Placing them in Second overall from the Northern
Division. 

On day 2, there was a slight delay getting started due to scattered showers and
overcast skies giving the anglers a few less minutes for the day. The shorter
day did not hinder the teams with their weights though.

Adding the previous days catch would prove to be a game changer for several
teams. After the dust had settled with combined weights the overall leader was
John Fint and Beckett Bryan securing the team with the Southern Division
Championship and giving the team a clear path to the Junior World Championship
on Friday. John and Beckett had 6 pounds and 4 ounces on day one and adding to
that a 11 pound 6 ounce bag of fish giving them the overall lead plus the title
of Division Champions. The pair also had the biggest fish of the entire
tournament weighing in at 8 pounds and 1 ounce. 

Day 2 second place overall leaders and securing the team with the Division title
for the Northern Division went to Sam Elliot and partner Myles Motsinger from
Indiana. The Northern Division Champion team had 8 pounds and 3 ounces on day 1
and then on day 2 they had 6 pounds and 14 ounces securing the Northen team a
shot at the Junior World Champion Title. 

Day 2 third Place overall team hailing from the Central Division was the
Louisiana team of Nate Sylvestri and Hinton Carroll. The Northeast Louisiana
anglers had 5 pounds and 5 ounces on the first day and followed up on day 2 with
9 pounds and 3 ounces gaining the Central team the Division Champions trophy.

Day 2 the fourth place team our all-female team from the Eastern Division was
from New Hampshire Rayah and Julianna Thoin leaders of day 1 with 8 pounds and
13 ounces and on day 2 they weighed in at 5 pounds and 10 ounces. The Lady
Anglers were crowned the Eastern Division Champions and were off to compete for
the Junior World Champion Trophy and Title.

Day 2 the fifth place overall team all the way from the Western Division from
Phoenix, Arizona had an overall weight of 13 pounds and 12 ounces. Wyatt Massey
and Leland Pageler weighed in 4 pounds and 9 ounces on day 1 and then came back
to the scales on day 2 with a great day weighing 9 pounds and 3 ounces securing
the Arizona Anglers the Western Division champion Title.

2024 JWC Championship Friday

Once again Anderson South Carolina and Visit Anderson didn’t fall short on
hosting the 2024 Junior World Championship. The team at Green Pond Landing came
through with flying colors lights are on, fires are lit and everything is on go
at Green Pond Landing. Anderson County’s Fire departments daily visit Flying Old
Glory with their 150-foot ladder truck was a site to see each day with the
singing of the National Anthem that started the takeoff daily. The Bass
federation would also like to extend a huge shout out to the Dept of wildlife
and fisheries biology team for their support and help with the daily weigh-ins
helping to provide for a more than 94% live fish release throughout the event.

The final Championship Friday was set with the field cut down from 72 boats to
now only fifteen teams that have advanced and will go out in order by heaviest
weights competing for the prestige Title of Junior World Champions.

Fishing proved to be a bit tougher as the winds had died down with calmer waters
and clear skies that brought on the South Carolina heat. 1:45p.m. all teams had
been successfully checked in on time and may the best weight of the day bring us
a 2024 Junior Champion Team.

The West Tennessee team of Katie Bailey and partner Jacob Moody would be topping
the scales and besting the field with 8 pounds and 2 ounces on the Championship
Friday gaining the team the crown of Junior World Champions landing the coed
team with a $6,000 dollar scholarship, $3,000 per student. Congratulations to
the Tennessee Anglers on a job well done winning the 2024 Junior World
Championship. The second-place runner up team from the Northern Division was Sam
Elliot and Myles Motsinger from Indiana giving way to the 2024 Junior Champion
team by only one ounce Elliot & Motsinger weighed in 8 pounds and 1 ounce. The
northern Division team won a $2,000 dollar scholarship, $1000 per angler and the
team let us know they would see us in the High School scene next year.

Our third-place team on Championship Friday went to the Central Division team
from Louisianna representing Calvary Baptist Academy, Brooks Beaty and Caleb
Coburn. The Louisiana anglers had 7 pounds and 6 ounces. The third-place team
took home a $1,000 scholarship, $500 per angler. 

Congratulations to the entire field this year for qualifying for the 2024 Junior
World Championship in Anderson, SC and hats off to the Top 15 teams that
advanced and competed on the JWC Championship final day. All 15 teams making it
to the Final day each won a scholarship. A total payout of $15,000.00 dollars in
scholarships for this year’s anglers.

15TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL FISHING WORLD FINALS & NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP HEADS TO
ANDERSON, SC JUNE 19-22 ON LAKE HARTWELL

 * By BassFederation.com in News

15th Annual High School Fishing World Finals & National Championship heads to
Anderson, SC June 19-22 on Lake Hartwell

 Pinnacle High School Event In The World Offers Millions In Scholarships &
Prizes.

The premier High School Fishing event in the world is headed to Anderson South
Carolina on Lake Hartwell June 19-22. The 15th Annual High School Fishing World
Finals and National Championship dual event already have over 400 teams from
around the world signed up for this wildly popular event. SAF member teams from
most US States and multiple foreign counties such as Canada, Zimbabwe, and South
Africa are expected to attend and compete for a share of the richest prize pool
in all of bass fishing which will offer up an eye-popping 3 million dollars plus
total in prizes and scholarships all done with NO entry fees.

“We are very proud to be working with the TBF/SAF and hosting the High School
World Finals and National Championship at Green Pond Landing, Lake Hartwell and
Anderson County!” Stated Neil Paul Executive Director of Visit Anderson. “The
future in bass fishing is our high school anglers and we look forward to hosting
the anglers and their families in our community. Our team at Anderson County has
worked extremely hard to ensure that we continue to be a destination for bass
fishing. Green Pond Landing, a nationally recognized facility, and Lake
Hartwell, a Top 100 Bass Lake in America, will once again provide our guests
with a Championship Experience!”The student anglers pay no entry fee to compete
in this one-of-a-kind dual event, the World Finals portion is the granddaddy of
all national High School events, and where the bulk of the prizes and
scholarships are awarded, it is also the most difficult to win. The World Finals
is open to any SAF member in the world, so everyone attending will be competing
in the World Finals. At the same time on the dual-stage, the top 10% of High
School teams from all SAF sanctioned events including MLF Open events nationwide
in the preceding 12 months are qualified to compete in a national championship
event with its own set of prizes and scholarships that will top $500,000. So
those National Championship qualified teams are entered into both events and
have a chance at both prize pools all in one trip.

A high school team consists of 3 people to a boat, 2 High School anglers, and
their adult boat Captain / Coach, no high school angler may fish alone. Add in
all the families and friends for both anglers in the boat will push the expected
attendance to roughly 3000 people connected to this week-long event.

“We are excited to be heading back to Anderson, SC.” Stated The Bass
Federation’s President/CEO Robert Cartlidge. The community rolls out the red
carpet for these anglers and they have a great time in Anderson, it is a fan
favorite with state-of-the-art facilities, a great fishery, and many things for
the families to do while in the area, our anglers love it.”

Since the very beginning of the high school fishing program neither TBF /SAF nor
our partners in fishing at MLF, who was among the first to join our Student
Anglers Federation (SAF) movement and grow it side by side with us, requires any
entry fees for our regular High School events nor do we pay cash to kids at High
School events. It is always prizes & scholarships. The result has been the
explosion we currently see in high school fishing participation nationwide, it
all adds up to a good wholesome experience for the kids and their families.”

From the Student Angler Federation standpoint as the founders of the national
level High School fishing movement, high school fishing is not about being the
next “pro angler” or getting sponsor patches on your shirt. Those all may or may
not be by-products but the National High School fishing program was started for
3 simple reasons. First, to get youth into the outdoors with clean family fun,
to live, learn in, and learn to respect the outdoors. SAF’s purpose is to use
fishing to get kids outdoors with adult mentors and family with the intent of
not just educating them about common sense, manners, and ethics, but about math,
science, and language arts and why those are important to fishing yes, but also
to life in general.  Secondly, SAF wanted to provide post-secondary education
opportunities. Not just college, but trade/tech school too, as our country was
built by and still needs trades and skilled craft people. College is not for
everyone, especially in today’s college world. Education opportunities are what
SAF is promoting.  Three, SAF did not want the HS program to be about money,
which is the reason why there are no entry fees and no cash paid to student
anglers under this program all awards are prizes and scholarships.

The unique format of this dual event is credited with making it so successful
and it was developed with feedback from the parents and families over the last
decade. In a competitive arena as there is just no way around travel for the
anglers, staff, and partners. It is expected in fishing, no different than
national HS stick and ball leagues, cheer or dance team championships, or any
other high school sports. The two events are conducted together as a dual event
not just to save travel costs and vacation time but to make it a true family
vacation where many HS teams can travel together, have fun, and any youth from
any background anywhere has a chance to come and earn a life-changing
educational opportunity if they can. All while experiencing the comradery of an
event this size where lifetime friendships are made.

The popular four-day High School Fishing World Finals and National championship
combined event format is a very unique structure where all anglers compete for
three days in a format with a second chance round, much like any other double
elimination High School sport. It is designed to keep everyone competitive and
in the game until the final day cut. For full details, check out
HighSchoolFishing.org. You can get your club affiliated with SAF and compete!
 All TBF, SAF and MLF High School Fishing events are no entry fee events. To
register, anglers only need to be a member of the Student Angler Federation
(SAF) which is a mere $25 per year and includes competitor SAF and MLF
memberships. It is as easy as completing the online registration at
HighSchoolFishing.org.

The event is filmed for national television on the Pursuit Channel and other
Networks. LIVE coverage will run daily on www.HighSchoolFishing.org  and
Facebook www.facebook.com/hsfishing
