With over 18 years of providing a successful tournament trail for schools, Trader Bill's Outdoor Sports believes that if you teach a child to fish, you have helped create a lifetime of learning, amazing experiences, and memories that will last forever. "Competitive fishing teaches children the value of working toward a goal and gives them the opportunity to have comradery with other young anglers, and gives them the opportunity to experience success, said Team Sponsor Kelly Massey.

The next tournament is the championship on April 25 on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
