PONCA CITY, Okla. (July 7, 2016) – The Bass Federation (TBF), with our “Partner in Fishing” at FLW, announce the 2016 Student Angler Federation (SAF) Minnesota High School State Championship on Sunday, July 31 at the Mac’s Twin Bay Ramp near North Isle, Minn. 

The state championship is a two person event for students in grades 9-12. Each team can have one member in 7th or 8th grade, if needed. All teams should pre-register online for high school events at HighSchoolFishing.org to avoid onsite late fees. Each team and their “coach,” who provides the boat they compete in, will need to check in from 4-5pm CST on July 30 at the Mac’s Twin Bay Ramp. A rules briefing will immediately follow. Take off is at 6:30am and the weigh-in will begin at 2:30pm. 

“TBF and our partners in fishing at FLW are the only organizations to offer a state championship in every state and Canada,” TBF National Youth Director, Mark Gintert, stated. “There’s no question our State Championship Series provides the foundation to make SAF the largest high school fishing organization in North America.”
