The High School Challenge is designed to introduce students to fishing through a fun, educational, and team-focused experience that promotes sportsmanship, conservation, and community involvement.

​

Schools may register with a minimum of five student participants. Each student fishes individually but competes as part of a team. At the conclusion of each festival, the top five fish weights from each school are combined to determine the school’s total weight. The school with the highest combined weight will be crowned the winner.
