    2007 Casting Kids Championship Results

     

    2007 Casting Kids Championship Results

     

    On August 11, 2007 The Iowa State Bass Federation Nation held its annual Casting Kids championship.  The event was held at Cedar Rapids Toyota.  Thanks to their sponsorship a great location was provided to these youth.  To participate in this event the youths needed to win a previous Casting Kids event that had been held during the last year.  Those winners are then allowed to participate at this tournament.  These winners are then invited to compete nationally.  The national competition is tentatively scheduled to be held during the week of Nov. 5 thru 10 at an as yet to be announced location.  The location will be announced after all of the divisional tournaments have been completed (there are still 2 remaining).

    The Iowa winners are; age 7 to 10 group, Conner Choate son of Jim and Vickie Choate of Swisher, Iowa.  Age 11 to 14 group winner is Nick Zirkelbach son of Jon and Tracy Zirkelbach of Center Junction, Iowa.

    Both winners and their families are invited to a national competition and will compete for several thousand dollars in prizes and scholarships.

    These Iowa youth are fine representatives of today's youth and will do a great job of representing Iowa and the IBFN.  Congratulations to them and their families for a job well done.

    Youth State Championship Results

     

    Sunday July 15 at Prairie Du Chien, Wis.

     

     

    On July 15, 2007 The Iowa Bass Federation Nation Hosted the IBFN Junior State Championship on pool 10 of the Mississippi at Prairie Du Chien.  34 youth’s registered and all caught fish.  A total of 79 fish were weighed with a total weight of 168.81 pounds.  Launch was at 7am from the Washington Street Park.  Weigh in was at 2pm.  31 volunteers provided boats, drivers and observers to assist the youths in learning the locations and safely traveling on pool 10.  Cabelas provided life jackets for all participants as well as other support for the event and is given a big thank you for their sponsorship.

    Winners in the two age groups were; (15-18) Matt Roberts son of Gary and Debbie Roberts of Pulaski, Iowa with a weight of 11.30 pounds.  (11-14) Dakota Nelson son of Mike and Dawn Nelson of Anamosa, Iowa with a weight of 9.56 pounds.  Big bass for the older group was Cody Rundle son of Lonnie and Joyce Rundle of Monticello with a weight of 4.35 pounds.  The younger age group big bass was won by Trey Downey son of Mark and Sherry Downey of Cedar Rapids, Iowa with a weight 4.19 pounds.  These weights are pretty impressive no matter who is doing the fishing.

    A big thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers, parents and especially to the youth who participated.  Also I would like to thank the team who ran the tournament for without your help we could not have had such a fine tournament.
