B.A.S.S.
is dedicated to America's youth and to the future of bass fishing and its
resources. And since kids are the future of this great sport, B.A.S.S. developed
the BASSMASTER CastingKids program in 1991 and eventually joined hands with
Chevy Trucks, CITGO, and other great sponsors to make it the most successful
youth fishing program in the world. Open to young people in two age groups,
7-10 and 11-14, the goals of this competition are to involve America's youth
in fishing and to foster in each participant an appreciation and concern for
our outdoors.
BASSMASTER CastingKids competitions are similar to the old NFL punt, pass,
and kick events, except the challenge is to flip, pitch and cast. These are
three very important skills everyone needs to know in order to catch fish.
Scoring is based on a point system so the young angler with the most points
wins! In only ten years of existence, the BASSMASTER CastingKids has reached
over one million children and given away over $2,000,000 in cash, prizes,
and scholarships. Through the CastingKids program, B.A.S.S. is able to uphold
its commitment and dedication to youth and the future of bass fishing and
its resources. B.A.S.S. is proud of the success of this program, and we know
that you, too, will find it to be rewarding.
