The YFL Youth Fishing League and Deep East Texas High School Fishing Series have teamed up with Jackson Hill Marina at Lake Sam Rayburn to host “The Jim Brockman Youth Open”. The event will be held on April 25, 2015. Take off will be at safe light; weigh-in time will be at 3:00 p.m..

Jim Brockman was a pioneer in youth bass fishing and started the YFL in 2009. The YFL allows anglers to fish from ages 6 through 18 in their own age group as individuals. This event is an individual tournament, not a team format. Two anglers may fish from one boat but each angler must weigh in their own creel. Other anglers may not add to any anothers creel. With almost 50 anglers on the YFL roster and teaming up with Deep East Texas High School Fishing Series, a good turnout for this tournament is expected.

All money that is raised by raffle and auctions during this event will be donated into two scholarships. First and second place finishers receive scholarships. The tournament will pay out 1 in 5 places and a big bass for the event. The scholarship money will be held by the chamber of commerce.

If you are a YFL Angler you can look at this tournament as a 2 in 1. You will still compete as usual for the YFL standings and you will also be competing against other anglers from the Deep East Texas High School Fishing Series.
