RIDGELAND, Miss. (WJTV) – The City of Ridgeland will host the Bass Tactix youth fishing tournament at Madison Landing on Saturday, September 17. The event will host 300 participants from across the region for a weekend of competition on the Barnett Reservoir.
“The motivation is there going to win scholarships that are going to allow them to further their education into college, earn a four year college degree if that’s their decision, as well as fish on a college fishing team. Eventually, a lot of them go on to work for someone in the outdoor industry. There are kids right here in the Flowood-Brandon area that has fished in our program that have gone on to join the college fishing teams and get their CPAs to become accountants, doctors, you name it, so it’s a huge impact on a family’s life,” explained Richard Parker, Pro Angler Owner of Bass Taxtic Youth and Veterans Outdoors.
