JWC: SPRINGBOARD
TO THE PROS?
Many of today’s top pro anglers started
in the TBF Junior program and competed
in the Junior World Championship, including
2006 JWC qualifier Jacob Wheeler,
2007 JWC champion Shane LeHew, and
2017 FLW Cup winner Justin Atkins, who
competed in the 2008 JWC. Lance
Freeman, the 2020 TBF National
Championship winner, also started out in
the TBF Junior program in Kentucky.
