Tournament fishing: is an organized competition among anglers. Fishing tournaments typically take place as a series of competitive events around or on a clearly defined body of water with specific rules applying to each event.
Indiana Tournaments
High School Fishing
High school fishing is one of the fastest growing youth related programs in the United States. High school Tournaments allow students to form clubs and represent their high school competing against other schools.

College Fishing
Collegiate fishing started right here in Indiana! Indiana University and Purdue University were the first two college fishing clubs in the country and the first to compete in an intercollegiate fishing event in 1982, The Ole Minnow Bucket Tournament. Today, there are thousands of college anglers around the country competing in numerous events for bragging rights, prizes, and even a shot at going Pro!

Team Tournaments
Team tournaments allow anglers to partner up and compete together against other teams. Indiana has a wide range of team tournaments and circuits. Grab a friend and compete against others! Click the link below to learn more about team tournament offerings in Indiana!
Pro-Am Tournaments
Pro-Am tournaments are events that feature a structure consisting of a Pro-Angler and a Co-Angler. The Pro-Angler competes out of their own boat against the other pros while paired up with a Co-Angler who is competing against the other Co-Anglers separate from the Pro side. This allows anglers without boats to get involved in tournaments! Click below for information on Pro-Am styled tournaments offered in Indiana!
Club Fishing
How it all started. Form or join a club of other anglers to compete against each other! Club tournaments are a great way for anyone to get into tournament fishing. Compete against members of your club to form a Top 8 team that will go on to compete against the other clubs in the state to form a State Team. The Indiana Bass Federation and Indiana B.A.S.S. Nation both offer Top 8 Club events and possibilities of advancing beyond the state level.
