What They Look Like
More than a weigh-in.
Food, family, a board everybody can get on, and a reason to be outside with your neighbors. Kids fish alongside adults in their own classes. Live bait and artificial run separately, for everybody.
Tournaments
Adult, kids, and veterans tournaments, all starting soon. Every FFN tournament puts money back into the community it was fished in. Safety first, ethics second, fishing third.
Find Your State
Pick your state and we will tell you where things stand. We are building this one state at a time, and the honest answer for most of the country right now is not yet.
What is Coming
Not one event with everybody thrown in together. Different people are fishing for different reasons, and the format ought to match.
Open competition for grown anglers. Live bait and artificial run as separate classes so nobody has an unfair edge. Entry fees go back into the community the tournament was fished in.
Young anglers fishing their own classes, not competing against adults. Participation counts alongside biggest catch, and every kid who shows up takes something home. Parents fish alongside or watch from the bank.
Veterans fishing with veterans. A day on the water with people who understand without anything needing to be explained. Open to all branches and all eras.

House Rules
Live bait and artificial run as separate classes, for kids and adults alike.
Snagging a fish on purpose is not fishing. That one is not negotiable.
Kids get participation trophies alongside tracked accomplishments. Showing up counts.
