VBA Youth Records

ARE YOU UP TO THE CHALLENGE?

VBA youth record program is an annual competition that inspires youth to get out on the water and have some fun with a little competition mixed in. At the end of the year (Dec 17th), all record current holders will receive a VBA sticker, certificate, and shirt as recognition. All current records will reset on Jan 1st of that following year enabling others to go out and compete for records. To qualify for record consideration, fish must be weighed in by an official VBA scale holder; photo submissions will not be accepted. The catch must occur in Virginia waters, including the entire Potomac River. Membership with the VBA is not a prerequisite for participation. How to submit
