There is a "National Youth Association" tourney on Table Rock at the end of the month.  Regatta listings are showing 300 boats, but I doubt there will be that many.  Middle school and high school kids.  Probably supplied with everything by parents or other adults.  Nothing wrong with it, but different than it was for my generation.  

 

Somebody is making money on that high school thing......and it isn't the "anglers".   

I smell a rat 🤔

It would be the same lot that make money on the Pro and semi pro contests. They will be selling boats and gear and clothing and food, drink and lodging.  The associations them selves, the fuel suppliers. The TV, and media companies.  I'm not sure how much the states net on the tourneys but there has to be  money for them there or they wouldn't keep promoting them.  

The  search bot says bass fishing is $115 billion annually. At the college level there are over 700 clubs nationwide. The next couple of generations of tourney anglers are being educated right now.  They'll have sponsors and and endorsement as soon as they graduate.
