Top student athletes named to the 2024 Bassmaster High School All-State Fishing Team

 Forty-five of the best high school anglers from across the country have been named to the 2024 Bassmaster High School All-State Fishing Team.

The students were selected for the honor based on their success in bass tournament competition, academic achievement and leadership in conservation and community service.

To be considered for the All-State Fishing Team, a student must have been nominated by a parent, coach, teacher or other school official. Students enrolled in grades 10-12 with a current-year grade point average of 2.5 or higher were eligible.

B.A.S.S. received nearly 300 nominations from across 31 states. From these, judges selected 45 student anglers to make the All-State Fishing Team. Additionally, 47 students received Honorable Mentions recognizing them for their tournament success as well as community service and academic achievement.

“Congratulations! This goes to show your efforts on and off the water do not go unnoticed,” said Glenn Cale, B.A.S.S. tournament manager for the College, High School and Junior series. “I’m super-proud of you all. This is something to truly be proud of. Be sure to chase all of your dreams, because they do not chase you back.”

A second panel of judges will review the nominations of the 45 All-State team members and select the 12 members of the 2024 Bassmaster High School All-American Fishing Team. As in All-State judging, criteria include success in high school fishing tournaments, involvement in conservation efforts and other community service activities.

The 12 finalists will be honored on the most prestigious stage in bass fishing at the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic in Fort Worth, Texas March 21-23.
