New Horizon arose from the ashes of previous bass club failures. It's founders all had experienced the frustrations of clubs whose actions were contrary to their stated purposes; where meeting upon meeting was nothing more than arguments about rules; where member's abilities did not grow because no one would share knowledge; where winning (sometimes at any cost), was more important than fishing and having fun.

New Horizon's founders knew that there was a better way. And they set about building an organization whose ideals and mission would be ensured by the very nature of the club's structure.
