| Event Description: |
The 2008 Bassmaster CastingKids Finals were held at Junction City High School. Schultz of Maumelle, Ark., claimed his second CastingKids title by outlasting Ryan Werley of Danielsville, Pa., in a three-round castoff in the 11-14 age group. The two youth anglers were tied with 140 points after the preliminary round and the first two rounds of the sudden-death finals from the 30-foot line.
In the third castoff, the 14-year-old Schultz scored 20 points to claim the 2008 title.
"On the second cast in the finals I hit the lip of the carpet and went oh my gosh, I can't believe that just happened," Schultz said. "On the last cast my hands were sweating and the line slipped through my fingers when I tried to stop it. I thought this was going to be a repeat of what happened when I was 8. I'm really happy to win this twice."
Competitors earn points by taking the best score of two casts from 10, 20 and 30 feet. They cast a jig from each of the distances onto a bull's-eye with the center worth 50 points and the outer ring scoring 20 points.
The CastingKids championship included 12 youth competitors who qualified from each of the six Federation Nation divisions. The 12 divisional qualifiers competed within their respective age groups: 7-10 and 11-14. CastingKids competitors vied for scholarship awards, with the winner in each age group receiving a $5,000 scholarship.
The Junior World Bassmaster Championship and Bassmaster CastingKids Finals showcases the top youth anglers in the world and provides them the opportunity to compete through BASS — the most visible fishing tournament structure in the world.
