TBF Mission
“Owned by those we serve, dedicated to the sport of fishing.”
Since 1968, the independent state bass Federations have worked together to support the grassroots growth of fishing and the growth of the entire sport fishing/outdoors industry in their states. Simply put, The Bass Federation, Inc. (TBF) and our affiliated state Federation’s are 100% member owned and do not work for any one organization in particular, although we do have several long-term relationships and partnerships in the industry. TBF is proudly partners in fishing with MLF: majorleaguefishing.com/
The main focus of the The Bass Federation (TBF) is to work for:
-
Our members
-
The member State Federations
-
The industry as a whole
-
Youth, by establishing activities for them that foster their learning and skill levels pertaining to the sport of fishing
-
Conservation, by joining together to demand clean waters, to protect anglers rights and by making additional funds available to the member states through our partners, sponsors and other avenues to assist with conservation projects
-
Fishing, by providing a means for our members to compete in the majority of the most prestigious tournaments in the world
-
While our name contains the word “bass” and would imply we are bass fishermen only. That is not the case. ”Our mission is to support fishing and support the industry. We are “about fishing.”
