High school bass fishing in New Hampshire is a coordinated effort between the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) and the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, with support from NH B.A.S.S. Nation. High school bass tournaments include a strong educational component. Teams have adult mentors who guide them through the process of learning about New Hampshire's aquatic resources and the responsibility that goes along with being anglers.
"Our bass fishing educational seminars have been a great success and we are very pleased to have Bass Pro Shops involved this year," said Gabe Gries, a New Hampshire Fish and Game Fisheries Biologist who also serves on the NHIAA Bass Fishing Committee.
The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association is a private not for profit organization that has served as the leader of high school athletics for its member schools in New Hampshire since 1947. The student bass fishing tournament is in keeping with the NHIAA goals of adding sports that will have lifelong appeal to student athletes and providing more sports that are coed and inclusive to all populations within our schools.
