The location of the 2010 Junior Bassmaster World Championship will be announced in late September when the full field of 12 is set.

The competition will be split into two age groups, 11-14 and 15-18. In the championship, one youth angler from each of six divisions will be in each age group. They will be fishing to win scholarship money.

To qualify, young anglers have been competing at 2010 BASS Federation Nation Divisional events, which began in March.

•   Southern Division: 11-14, Ryan Edwards of Stuart, Fla.; and 15-18, Logan Holt of Creedmoor, N.C.
•   Western Division 11-14, Ethan Peterson of Post Falls, Idaho; and 15-18, Tyler Ashton of Boise, Idaho
