Two recent Mountain Home High School graduates will be in Alabama this week. Bomber Bass Team members Jay Gore and Noah Boyett are taking part in the Student Angler Federation’s High School Fishing World Finals beginning Tuesday at Lake Pickwick in Florence.
Gore says it’s thrilling for him and Boyett to be Mountain Home’s first representatives in the tournament.

Boyett says he and Gore advanced to the world finals after recently finishing fourth in the Arkansas State Fishing Championship.

The Student Angler Federation’s parent organization is The Bass Federation, and the High School Fishing World Finals are put on by FLW. Registration and the rules banquet will be Tuesday, and competition for the World Finals and the National Championship begins Wednesday. The national champions will be crowned after Thursday’s action, and the world finals continue into Saturday.
The top ten percent of the fields of each state tournament move on to the world finals, and Boyett says the duo feels priveleged to compete in a tournament several high school anglers from around the country are left out of.
Listen:
A total of over $75,000 in scholarship money and prizes will be awarded at the end of the tournament, but Gore says for him and Boyett, that’s a behind-the-scenes goal.
