It’s the dream of most college anglers who compete in tournaments to get paid to fish. Cash winnings at the college level help to offset travel, lodging, food and tackle expenses for collegiate anglers who typically participate in tournaments on a tight budget. The Toyota Bonus Bucks College Series program makes that dream a reality.
Over the last decade, countless bass and walleye anglers have reaped the rewards of towing their boat with a Toyota vehicle and earned thousands of dollars of extra money through the popular Toyota Bonus Bucks contingency program. 2019 is the fourth year college fishing has been included under Toyota Bonus Bucks – rewarding collegiate anglers who tow with an eligible Toyota tow vehicle.
The Toyota Bonus Bucks College Series program is simple and very similar to general Bonus Bucks. The main difference is you can drive any year of Toyota tow vehicle and be eligible for the program. For a full list of supported events, rules and FAQs, or to get registered for the program, click here.
Here’s a general overview:
1. Drive a Toyota
Use any owned or leased Toyota Tundra, Tacoma, Sequoia or 4Runner to tow your boat to the tournament and you’re eligible for the program. (Vehicle can be in a parent or legal guardian’s name, and there are no year restrictions on the College Series.)
2. Register (for FREE)
You can register online at toyotatrucksbonusbucks.com/college/registration, or in person at any YETI FLW College Fishing or Bassmaster College Series tournaments.
3. Fish
All YETI FLW College Fishing or Bassmaster College Series tournaments and select ACA Collegiate Bass Fishing Series tournaments are supported.
Contingency dollars are awarded to the highest-finishing registered competitor, but you must finish within the top 50 percent of the field to be eligible for payouts (minimum field size of no less than 30 boats).
4. Redeem
Submit an official contingency claim form within 30 days of the tournament. Upon verification and approval, you’ll be sent your contingency payment.

It’s that easy. If you tow with an eligible Toyota vehicle, fish in supported collegiate tournaments and aren’t signed up for Bonus Bucks, you are missing out on a chance at free money.
