NBT Junior Program Spotlight

NBT a Great Way to Spend Time with a Child

My son has fished with me since he was big enough to walk. He has a passion for fishing. When he was young and it would be a 100 degree day in Alabama in July with a heat index of 110 degrees he would go fishing with me. The old man would be more than ready to call it quits by 11:00 am, but he would be fired up and wouldn’t want to leave. He started fishing tournaments with me when he was 7 years old. He would fish all day and match most grown men cast for cast all day.


In 2011, when my son was 9 years old, we discovered the National Bass Fishing Trail. I looked at the web site, and we joined immediately. The draw for us was the Junior Division. He could pay an entry fee and fish against the other juniors. Since 2011 we have fished almost all the North Alabama District tournaments. We have fished all the North Alabama District Championships and all the National Championships except for one.


The best memories I have are of the times I have spent with my son on the water. From catching his first Small Mouth to each time he would catch a new personal best to watching him learn new techniques, and the time we spent each June at the Nations are memories I will all ways have.


My son is now 20 years old. He still has a passion for fishing, but he is working full time and going to college part time and he is currently looking to buy his own boat. I know our time together on the water will become less and less, but the memories we have made will last a life time.
If you have a child that has a passion for fishing and you want to create memories that will last a lifetime, the NBT is great way to fulfill that goal.
