HOT SPRINGS — 2026 marks the eighth year of the Arkansas Game and Fish Foundation’s Commissioners’ Cup Youth Bass Fishing Tournament, presented by Xpress Boats. The one-day tournament will take place on Saturday, May 16, on Lake Hamilton in Hot Springs. All participants will fish one day – there is no cut. Launch and weigh-in will take place at the Andrew H. Hulsey State Fish Hatchery boat ramp at Lake Hamilton.
Participants will consist of teams of two high school anglers (grades 9-12) and their boat captain for the senior division, and two junior anglers (grades 8 and below) and their boat captain for the junior division. There is no entry fee to participate, but pairs must fish in three sanctioned tournaments to qualify.
Prizes include scholarship money, trophies, gear and tackle, as well as recognition in the AGFC Fishing Guidebook and at the annual Arkansas Outdoor Hall of Fame Banquet in August.
