A new opportunity is now available for the 'low budget' angler looking to get into tournament fishing.  The Washington State Pond Jumperz is an electric motor only bass club.  We are B.A.S.S. affiliated and our current members span from Whatcom to Thurston counties. In other parts of the country these type of clubs are usually based on boat size, we place no restrictions on that.  Our only restriction is that you only use an electric motor come tournament day.

We will be meeting…

Has anyone else seen this? Very impressive deer with some serious mass!

I tell my wife that I am addicted to tournament fishing. She asks, "why I'm not addictedd to her?" I tell her it is different. She doesn't seem to understand. I think it is fine to be addicted to Bass fishing and tournaments. What about you? Is it the competition, love of the sport you tell me.

I had a great time. Met some great people and learned a little bit also. Thanks for having me. It was nice seeing kids present, our future in the sport. This was my last event for the year and one of the BEST all year.

applies to bass fishing means and who qualifies. I will share some

insight into the truth.
