KBF National Championship
The granddaddy of all kayak fishing competition, with the top prize money ($100,000 minimum for first place in 2018), the deepest pay-out (projected to pay 87 places this year) and the most KBF and Sponsor bonuses brings kayak bass fishermen from all over North America to Kentucky Lake on March 22-25 2018.
KBF TRAIL Series
Forty-one meet-up tournaments across America are hosted by KBF Partner clubs, circuits, and organizations. $75 entry fees, opportunities to collect 2018 KBF Angler of the Year points, and 2019 KBF National Championship qualifying slots, plus a 10% of field payout with a minimum $1,000 to first place makes this a regional favorite among KBF Members.
KBF OPEN Series
Across the US, KBF Members and guests will have a choice of five large-scale open-registration tournaments $150 entry fees, opportunities for KBF Members to collect KBF Angler of the Year points, and KBF National Championship qualifying slots, plus a 10% of field payout.
KBF Member-only Events
KBF’s The TEN, Bienville Bassin, KBF Young Guns, KBF Collegiate Team Challenge Series, and other meet-up tournaments where KBF Membership is required are presented each year. Both novices and veterans find plenty to enjoy in these get-togethers. Camaraderie within the kayak fishing community, even more than competition, is what brings us together time and time again. KBF’s Angler of the Year year-long race is fiercely contested, with the winner not only claiming hot-stick status but a prize package valued at between $10,000-$20,000.
KBF National Challenges
One Night Stands the final Friday of each month from April through October. Father’s Day Challenges. Back to School(ing Bass) Challenge in August. Black (Bass) Friday Challenge. All these and more add more opportunities to compete and win on waters close to home, and usually during hours that can be found around work and family commitments.
KBF State Challenge Series
KBF’s Catch-Photo-Release (CPR) style of tournament and the use of tournament management systems make possible these month-long competitions, where KBF Members pit themselves against anglers in their own state or multi-state group, on their favorite public waters, on their own schedule. KBF AOY Points, KBF National Championship qualifying slots, and cash prizes in each state help ensure that anglers have opportunities for competition and rewards close to home.

Why Kayak Fishing?
Why is kayak fishing the fastest-growing segment of the sportfishing market? Is kayak bass fishing healthier for anglers as well as the ecosystem? Does kayak angling practice better stewardship of our natural resources? Do the economics of kayak fishing allow more anglers to escape the shore? Do they encourage bass boat anglers to rediscover the pure, simple enjoyment of fishing without breaking the bank? Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
