To start a Bassmaster High School or Junior club, you must first form an official organization. If organized through your school, recruit a faculty advisor and a minimum of two students. Next, ensure all members affiliate with B.A.S.S. and pay the required dues to join the club. Finally, register the club with Bassmaster, and affiliate with Kentucky B.A.S.S. Nation to complete the process and begin fishing. If you are seeking a defined list of requirements, please access the following link:

Nation Club, please access the applicable link below to submit the supporting form to get your club started. Please only submit the form once. Multiple submissions may delay response time.

Qualification for the Bassmaster High School National Championship through KBN will be based on the following:

     a. Two (2) berths for the 1st and 2nd place teams of the Bradley Roy Open

          i. Note, if the 1st and/or 2nd place teams are double qualified, we will drop down the State Championship list to the next place team but not beyond the third place.

     b. The remainder of the National Championship berths will be determined based on the   total number of teams and members who registered to participate in each KBN Division  with emphasis on each division's final Team of the Year standings.

          i. B.A.S.S. enables each division to present one (1) berth for every twenty-five (25) teams / fifty (50) individual members. For example:

• (50) teams / (100) members = two (2) berths
• (150) teams / (300) members = three (3) berths
• (250) teams / (500) members = four (4) berths
• (350) teams / (700) members = six (6) berths

Qualification for the Bassmaster Junior National Championship will be based on the following:

a. One (1) berth for the 1st place team of each division’s final Team of the Year Standings.

Each student angler must have three (3) memberships:

1. B.A.S.S. Nation Dues = $30 (due annually)
2. Kentucky B.A.S.S. Nation Dues = $10 (due annually)
3. Bassmaster / B.A.S.S. = $12 (due annually)

~Please note, for each angler's B.A.S.S. membership, no matter if they are a New or a Returning Angler, you must also first BUY A NEW B.A.S.S. MEMBERSHIP or RENEW THEIR EXISTING MEMBERSHIP SEPARATELY through bassmaster.com.
