Catch - Photo - Release (CPR)
In almost all CPR tournaments, length rather than weight is the basis for scoring of each competitor’s catch.
Basically, one catches a bass, lays it on an approved measuring board, and takes a photo using a digital camera or smart phone. The photo is then uploaded using either a web browser or app to a web-based Tournament Management System (“TMS”). The fish is dropped back in the water, unharmed, after having been photographed. Because handling and time out of water are minimal, the mortality rate for CPR tournaments is a tiny fraction of that of conventional weight-based tournaments where fish are transported in holding tanks and bags.

About Us
About Us
NVKBA was formed with three things in mind: Competition, Community, and Camaraderie!
Competition: We are a Kayak Bass Fishing (KBF) national partner club providing CPR (catch, photo, release) tournaments EXCLUSIVE to the Northern Virginia area.
Community: We believe it is imperative that we maintain close ties with our community. This is accomplished by fostering the state's wildlife conservation efforts, supporting local charities, and encouraging our youth to get out on the water. They are the future of our sport!
Camaraderie: Without this, our club would not exist. Our club is chock full of some of the most down-to-earth individuals with the same common love for the outdoors.
Whether you are here to become the next national champion, or just here to get away from the rat race, remember one thing: We are all here because we believe in something BIGGER THAN OURSELVES! This is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, so be prepared for great events at Northern Virginia's premier fishing venues!
