How to qualify for a chance to compete in the 2025 Bassmaster BASS Nation Championship

How to qualify for a chance to compete in the 2025 Bassmaster BASS Nation Championship

The Lake Mead Open is just around the corner. If you participated in the Lake Shasta, Clear Lake, or Lake Havasu event and completed your B.A.S.S. qualifications, then you do not need to complete it again.

All anglers that wish to qualify through the Top 5 Pro and AAA finishers opportunity at Lake Havasu, MUST have a Bassmaster membership to start. If you are NOT a Bassmaster member, you will need to sign up to receive your membership ID#. 

You will need your BASSMASTER membership ID# to complete your B.A.S.S. Nation membership.

You can join Bassmaster at the link below:

After you have received your Bassmaster membership ID#, you MUST contact your home state president to complete your B.A.S.S. Nation Membership.
You do not have to participate in the state team events or meetings, but you may if you wish to. 

Review the list below to locate your state president. Send your state president an email stating your name and event you are fishing, what your Bassmaster ID# is and that you would like to qualify for the Championship in 2025.  They will get back to you with instructions on how to complete your membership.
