The TBF Junior Angler Program was started by the state federation in 1994 and has grown into a nationwide program. All TBF Junior events are two-person team tournaments.
The competitive branch of this program allows the anglers to attend their sanctioned Junior State events and attempt to qualify for the annual TBF Junior World Championship out of their own boat with their own boat captain for thousands of dollars in scholarships and prizes.
Junior anglers fish in local clubs and state tournaments and participate in fundraising and conservation projects.
